I think I can say on behalf of ALL Australians to Harry Connick Jr:
STAY THE FUCK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY YOU HYPOCRITE RACE PIMP.
How about we talk about Connick's continuous PRAISE of the racist Zionist apartheid-state Israel that just ethnically cleansed 80% of the indigenous Palestinian population (millions upon millions) simply because they were seen as ethnically inferior!!!
So to him ethnically cleansing millions if OK, but painting your face black for a gag isn't.
hey. white people. i don't care how much you gave to the tsunami, and i don't care how many of your friends and relatives are asian, polynesian, latino, or european.
the fact that you would have the ignorance to say "this isn't offensive to you black people" shows REMARKABLE racism. it is NOT your place to tell us what is or is not racist. If you don't know the incredibly racist history of minstrel shows, you should probably go google that shit NOW.
It's really about the difference between Americans and Australians. The Australians don’t even get it let stay considering it. I guess that’s what makes America a great country and Australia, mm!, just a big island.
@polsktralia not a double standard. if white people where truly offended they would have spoke out. the movie actually was riducled here b/c of the white face
THIS WAS NOT MOCKING BLACK PEOPLE!!! This act was a tribute act to the Jacksons, most of whom are black. The only way to truely do a tribute act to them is to be black or make yourself appear black. If you somehow believe this was a racial act then you really need help, racism is attacking people because of their race and this was not anything remotely fitting that description.
@potterfanatic2 you dont have to do that!! nsync did a tribute to the j5 and they never painted their faces black. you can do a tribute w/o the buffonery
I'm Australian, while overt racism is rare, subtle racism and extreme ignorance is prevalent in Australia. Australians are an insecure race and defend themselves to the hilt even when they are in the wrong. The sensibilities of any other people or culture is of no consequence to an Australian. They always do and say what feels right to them - Period.
I am a proud aussie..but even to me...it was offensive of mj...
we may give billions of dollars in aid to hard hit countries...but the point we are missing is...we have a very poor understanding of other cultures and races.
to say ah...we're just larrikins, we have an unique sense of humour...i don't think this type of reasoning will go down well in any country outside of australia...which basically means...WE NEED TO BE MORE CONSIDERATE....
Couldn't agree more. I don't give a fat rats clacker if some one calls me a honkie/cracker/convict or whatever. As wrong as it is, why is racism such a social faux pas when any other form of discrimination (against women, redheads, fat people, bald people, old people, young people etc) is socially accepted?
@somo84 Excellent point. This is why PC is such bullshit, it is selective and also provides a green light for "reverse racism" to be enacted by the groups it protects.
I know what you mean about Jew's & Muslims, You cant say "Merry Christmas" everyone there have to say - "Happy Holidays" or reference to "The holiday season" so they don't offend them, it's a fucking joke!
Like I said before It's political correctness gone mad, just like this "Happy Holidays" you's say instead of "Merry Christmas" Why? So you don't offend the Jews, political correctness has totally Fucked America which is a dam shame
Personally i say Merry Christmas. and for ppl. not to say it cuz they think it offend other religions need to get over themselves...if they dont say Merrychristmas they seem like they dont respect their own culter, and they're more worried how other religions are affected. I dont see muslims say happy holidays when its Ramadan. but as far as the heyhey its Saturday, it is disrespectful. Just google *Jim Crow laws* and you'll find why black Americans are offended with this...!
If that bloody yank had not been a judge or even on the show nothing would have happened.
I bet you are not an Aussie and you don't understand Australians. For ages Australian's have made jokes about everyone and everything, even ourselves.
you know what this is all that harry connick jr's fault if he had kept his big mouth shut none of this would have happened.then you see on the view everyone is clapping for harry becuase he stood up and all that crap.honestly i dont think michael jackson or te jackson five would have taken offense to that.
correct me if im wrong wasnt it america who organised the genocide of the entire american indian race.. or do they just ignore that fact? along with enslaving another race for hundreds of years.or the creation of dozens of racial hate groups (KKK, aryan brotherhood, ) hmmmmm reind me again what we did that was worse than that?
fuck off yanks go fucking have a cry about 9/11 or something thats what your good at
This skit shows a stunning level of ignorance on the part of the show's producers. Given the cultural and historical context, one would think blackface would be avoided at all costs. All the commentaries you see here on YT are a bunch of non-aboriginal people discussing whether or not this is offensive. That's utter bullsh*t;ask the people who are the butt of this brand of satire if they find it so hilarious. I highly doubt they are able to have quite the laugh that colonial whites are afforded.
there was only one white in this skit.. that just shows how advanced australia is as far as diversity and not being racist is-....... fuck off harry you are a wanker
Sylvie - put your burqua back on before some fundamentalist moron decides to stone you to death. In your backwards country women shouldn't be seen or heard so shut the fuck up.
The funny thing about all of this is that probably not even 0.11% of Americans have even seen this video or care. However, I see a hell of a lot of Austraaaaalians commenting on various videos and using it to bash yanks. Then only to turn around and claim we as a country are not racist. Bull Crap. I lived there and saw it firsthand. Regardless of whether someone was born there or not, White Anglo's treat those of a different ethnicity as a 2nd class citizens.
As for the Aussies hurling abuse towards Americans, thats NOT fair or justified, its only people that can't respond in a civil manner that tend to hurl abuse, it demostrates the character of that individual, not the country.
You are correct. But for the J5 to comment on this skit wd mean endless harrassment by the media. Don't forget they are still grieving a loss to the family. I found it offensive but I am over it now and I do not think I have hurled abuse towards anyone, except for maybe Pabakhead and she deserves everything coming to her.
remember when those americans made that movie "white chicks". About 2 black guys dressing up as white chicks and pulling the piss out of them. Remember? And remember how they made millions of dollars off it? Double standards?
I'm a New Zealander that lived in oz for a year,Austrailia has got to be one of the most multicultural places in the world,sure like everywhere there a racists there but on a whole it's a great country that is made up of a wide variety of cultures and all of them are included.the guys said they were sorry,i think they were naive to the race issue,lets move on now..
Could go back to the dawn of time about what nations created nations. Lame "argument". Try to be a mature nation and don't blame sins on your fathers sonny
Give me undeniable evidence that 100% of the population (after all, you are not talking minorities here, or a few - you are trying to brand the WHOLE country) are racist.
Your country has a free and fair majority vote democract, I508. It seems abundantly proud of that fact.
So, when the MAJORITY of Australians vote in an openly racist Government multiple times, then we are correct to say that the MAJORITY of Australians are racist.
Goverment Racist? Which goverment of Australia is that? Which polition are you talking about? I noticed one of your videos featured the Immigration minister of the previous government, in a story in regards to the Sudanese situation of about 2006-2007. When immigration of the Sudanese was temporarily halted, more Iraqi's and Burmese were allowed in to meet Immigration quotas, Australia just can not let everyone come in at once, as the economy can not sustain it.
POLICIES are in place to maintain order whilst refugees are screened and processed, also to balance and maintain a efficient economy. Refugees get generous social security payments (more than average weekly earnings) and public housing in order to integrate into Australian society
ACTIONS are taken to enforce these policies.
You still refuse to tell us which country you are from. I wonder why SylvieKloot?
SylvieKloot, I am a product of multiculturism, having Cantonese Chinese, English, Irish, and Maori blood but I look South American, my kids, on their mothers side is English, Welsh, and a little Aboriginal in there too
My current girlfriend has a Portuguese mother and Timorese father (who is as dark as Kamahl) all of us have never been subject to racism on the scale you descibe, and we have always lives in SE Melbourne, since the 1960's this has been a multicultural country.
What a load of total bullshit , racist ? get over it , its not racist its only when some1 jumped on a soapbox and made it a non issue . Can any1 explain how it is racist ?
Do a google search on black face/masks , its everywhr on there , why hasnt these site been labled racists ?
YouTube shows everything, u can fnd out everything on this board, such as what took place in WW2. U will also see a Japanese soldier beheading an Australian soldier. The US and Australia did fight side by side during the war and that is indisputable.
it is about political correctness. People are offended so easily these days. If I said I was offended by Harry Connick Jr. for his comments no one would give a shit. Well I was offended, it was a cheap shot at our culture. Bottom line is he should never have been on the show. And no one would be talking about it.
If your culture includes rampant and offensive racism (and it does) then HCJ was correct to speak out against you.
We all are.
Such cultural traits as that should be identified as unacceptable and the offending country ostricised..
For an overly proud nation like Australia, the global rebuke is painful, but you must accept it, apologise for your actions & not repeat such racisms for your future.
Your global reputation is damaged by the succesive insights we have have to your racisms.
Sylvie - i said before that i did not give a shit what you think and i was being truthful. Go and live in your own hate filled head, if that makes you happy. You are really twisted sweetie and i can't even be angry with you, i just feel pity.
@SylvieKloot -Was it also racist and sexist in the American movie "White chicks" when two African American men posed as white woman!? oh that's right, there is no such thing as racism towards white people... Talk about double standards.
Slyviekloot - you are so pathetic that i can not even find words to describe you. What a fun filled and exciting life you must lead - do you spend all your time searching for ''dirt'' on Australia. I could waste my time telling you why Australia is a great place BUT i honestly don't give a shit what you think about Australia, get a life you uneducated, racist fool!!!
And we gave the most aid from any country ($1.1B USD) in response to the 2004 Asian Tsunami from a counrty with 19 million people, to me that seems like we opened our hearts and wallets to people that were in need,
This of course doesn't include the military,federal,medical,forensic and other support provided to the devastated region.A much quicker response to our Indian ocean neighbours than the U.S.A.'s response to it's own city of New Orleans and it was over a much greater distance.And the rest of the World can't help wondering if it was because most of the residents of New Orleans were black!
well now that they had their say i will say im offended by the awfukl gangster rap that has emerged today from the original breakdancing which in my opinion brought cultures together whereas gangster rap is totally blatantly offensive with mother fucking this & that & now that man from the board should help ban gangster rap & stop the disease thats spreading into Caucasian cultures with their caps turned backwards with their thumb & last finger up saying 'I've had a bad day at the sawmill.'
how would it offend u hcj wtf it had nothing to do with u. this is not racist. so watt if they had face paint on its a costume and the jacksons had dark skin, and michael changed his skin to pale. not rasict. stfu every1 hu says this is offensive. they only people that can be offended is the jacksons because the actors cant sing or dance for crap.
moon mater Australia has never had segregated buses or segregated toilets we didn't invent the word nigger the colored people in the states are just trying to take over and now with president Obarma they are half way there this is turning me a racist now
where is the nearest KKK recruitment office I want to join
The people who are taking offense to this are the racist ones, why? Because they obviously have this old belief that blacks are inferior to whites which they are not. If i was a black man i would be proud of who i am and my culture. I would be honoured that some people did a send up sketch of the jackson 5 because of the great achievement the jackson 5 have contributed to American music. I`ve seen monty python sketches where they make fun of aussies and i think it`s great and good to laugh at.
Youv'e missed the mark completely. This was not a tribute to the jackson five. It was a mockery making them look like a bunch of dumb niggers. Would they have proudly performed this in front of the Jackson family or for that matter in front a black audience??? I think not. Why? because they knew they would have offended us.
I have to agree with u defjeeff, that was no tribute. The J5 are not boot polish blk,they are a talented,polished act, world renowned talent. To say they are offended wd mean endless harrassment by the media. Let them grieve in private. As said earlier I am done with this,but there is always 1 dumb comment that makes me react. Australia is missing 2 things respect for thedead and a grieving family, that just wantspeace and closure.
sure it wasn't particularly funny but it wasn't racist. iv'e been round the world many times and found America to be one of the most racist.i can understand why black Americans are so sensitive
OK. I'm American - and let's start with the fact that Harry Conic doesn't "represent" - not for me at least.
This show is like the GONG show from the 70's. It's a COMEDY. Freaking GROW UP and get over it.
I can't believe people are getting their panties in a wad over this. If you are a child molester lover, then WATCH SOMETHING ELSE DUMBASSES. The Jackson 5 and MJ do NOT represent America to me any more than Harry does.
Still hard to understand that all, people would be offended or entertained, what about helloween that is weeks away can this be offensive to some people for sure but the act still happens and is apart of American culture... Not so much as an Australian thing Helloween, but many Americans do not know Helloween is not common practice all over the world.
oh my god lol. this show is funny and its just a joke by one program on tv. it doesnt mean the entire country of Australia is racist. I live in Australia and i just think the rest of the world has blown this out of proportion. There are worse jokes that have been made that are more racist and offensive. Get over it. Its a joke. A parody.
According to all the news reports and the Americans I have communicated with - the answer is YES. He does seem to speak for ALL America when he condemns the skit and Australia for defending it.
has anybody seen that movie white chicks? why is it not offencive when black people paint themselves white? how about chris rock anyone seen any of his concerts? why is racism funny when spoken by a black man? u know wot i think if u can dish it out u can bloodywell stop whining u give as good as u get just because u didnt find it funny dont mean there isnt people that will. In australia we give everybody shit regardless of race hell we even give ourselves shit u all need to harden the fuck up
You're so clueless and ignorant that I feel sorry for you. What your missing is an ocean of sarcasm and wit that comics who do race comedy and these cromagnon aussie idiots. That's the joke behind white chicks and chris rock's jokes. There are white comics in the US who do race jokes as well. It takes an amazing level of wit and comic insight to be able to find humor in race which is what these comics have.
What these idiots are doing is just straight making fun of the race of jacksons. That's just racist. It's just walking up to an asian, arab or black person and then imitating racial stereotypes. That's not comedy but straight racism... but when the one small black kid is able to turn the situation on its head and lampoon the white majority with wit and humor, that's comic gold. I hope you're not too stupid to see the difference.
Don't complain about double standards. If you are offended by whiteface, say it, but don't bitch about double standards because you are guilty of the same double standard. The reason why White Chicks isn't offensive is because white people don't voice the complaint that they are offended. Know why? Because they aren't. However black people are, because of the history of racism in America. You just have to deal with it.
I wathced the video..and I watched it again...and again...and I cant really see how this skit can even be viewed as a "TRIBUTE" to MJ. I even had hairs standing in the back of my neck as I watched it again and Im not even freaking black...those who would even insist that there is no offense intended in this skit I think is too much of a bigot or a racist (whichever word you want to use) to even notice...tsk tsk tsk...sorry mates, this doesnt make me laugh at all...
oh Ive seen this SylvieKloot before. she has No credibility more simply some one with an axe to grind with Australia. She doesn't live in Australia nor the USA. Therefore has nothing to do with this. So go stick your nose somewhere where it's needed, bitch
Oh had to comment on Australia's IQ - which country is in so much shit at the moment - greedy yanks! caused by Greedy yanks... oh now which G country is looking good - no real recession here mate, our banking system a little different, Oh also just watching Big Momma - so just checking are we to think that all middle aged black women there, are like BIG Momma, America please declare war on yourselves and blow it all up.
*It's about wether you offend someone*? Does anyone ask the Afghan or Iraqi orphan if they are offended that their parents were killed? This is such BULLSHIT.There are people starving, homeless and having their rights violated in ways we can't imagine, how about we all get outraged over things like THAT..things that actually MATTER instead of this stupid American media frenzy.
Btw Melonbarmonster, I'm an Australian woman and my IQ is 148, what's yours?
Wow, and that person is the President of Anti-discrimination? He's a fucking towel-head. They weren't making fun of niggers, they were making fun of Michael Jackson. Just because Michael Jackson happens to be a nigger doesn't mean they're making fun of niggers.
I totally agree. Seriously guys its not being racist. It was just a an impersonation. Nothing more. I see that no one had an uproar about Robert Downey Jr playing a black guy in "tropic thunder".
So are people only allowed to impersonate someone else only if they are of the same colour now??? ie. to impersonate Elvis you must be white, to impersonate Michael Jackson you must be black??
Sounds like racism at its finest to me.
This P.C. bullshit breeds racism!! Get over it people!! You're losing the plot!
What a load of rubbish. Not racist. Not derogatroy. Just having a fun laugh at the Jacksons. Maybe different in the US, but we're not in the US. Whoopie Goldberg had it right, they wouldn't be making fun of Aboriginals. Totally different context. Get a sense of humour. If black people make fun of white people being straight-laced, that's funny too. Laugh, sheesh.
aussies being racist morons is not new. It's the island isolation and historical homogeny really bred some white trash ignorance into their collective mentality. There are great things about australia but this racist underbelly is really unacceptable.
Who cares, Hey hey is garbage... They should have left Daryl Somers in his grave, and left the rotting corpse of that show in the shallow grave it was left in all those years ago
Why don't _you_ speak up, SylviaKloot? Why do you hate Australia so much? I've never seen anyone with this much hatred toward any country! Usually people speak up and be specific about their experiences which drove them to hate a certain people. But you? You just keep posting videos that reflect the bad side of Australia, without any reason. I respect opinions - everyone should. What's your opinion?
AMERICA brought out SWINE FLU which became a world wide pandemic.AUSTRALIA brought out the JACKSON JIVE which became a world wide FUCKWIT FINDER to anyone that thinks its RACIST...
there shouldn't have been an apology. i have seen much worse come from america, it's funny that we don't take offence from how you portray us and yet america takes offence to something such as this. you guys make me laugh.
America would have to be one of the most 'racist' countries in the world....it's a defence mechanism called 'projection' ....they're being reminded of what they don;t like about themselves...
BOOOO!! Disgusting!! Racist!! You should be ashamed of yourselves!!
All you impersonators should stop immediately!! No more Elvis impersonators!!! (unless you're a white man of course)
No more Michael Jackson impersonators!!! (unless you're a black man of course)
This is racism people!!! Have things got to a stage where you can only impersonate another person if they share the same skin colour as you??? Now that is disgusting!!!
Their all knowing absolute representation of the truth god said: "It can still be offensive if done by someone of the same raqce." or something of the sort.
So we should just not run the show at all (comedy is dangerous and everyone must be representated as white).
its onlt the americans, nothing to do with any other country who are getting Pi***d off with this. no one else cares. They were simply re-inacting poorly ofcourse a michael jackson thing. so what if they actually found out that white people look different to black people. they never sed they hated blacks or they wouldn't be doin that stuff. white face paint??- MJ did go white. so what
what do you think all people here watch SHIT like that??? FFS get a grip bitch
We never had 'blackface theatre' here so there is no stigmatic resonance in our culture; but look you are too ridiculous and hate-filled to bother with
The funniest thing about this whole situation, is how racist the rest of the world has become towards Australians.
Everyone is going on about how 'mean' and 'racist' we all are which is just a major generalisation; I didn't watch 'The Simple Life' and think that all Americans are superficial bimbos, so why does any other nation have any right to see a short clip and pressume we're a prejudiced nation? Ludacrous. Truly Ludacrous.
Silvie Kloot is the biggest racist on youtube. Always posts topics saying Australia as a whole is racist.....and thats racist but she is too stupid to realise that.
why is it racist, it was a fact they were black and wore white suits and danced like that how is it racist if they were eating bananas or something it may be deemed as racist.
they are just contradicting them selfs they had the kkk what did they do rong they were just singing america is more racist then australia even if they think they are so ahead of time they are still more racist than anywere australia is not racist
no offense was intended, had it been a decent act i'm sure their wouldn't have been such a big deal made of it. Fact is it was more entertaining in the most amateur form than talent of any kind. Anyone offended by this should definitely not be watching 'Hey Hey' in the first place. White Chicks - the movie, didn't cause a bunch of Caucasians to go nuts over it - we see the humour... Get over it and pull ya heads in.
Australian Humour is Different to American Humour, Seriously as Chopper Reid Says "HARDEN THE F&*K UP", Who the Flying F**k are u to comment on what we put on out TV, If I came into your house and started playing around with your shit you would probally pull a gun on me and pull the trigger, Typical, Keep out of our business and Well keep out of YOURS!.
The guys in the troupe were all of different races.. true there were no african americans.. but thats cos this is australia!!! it was not racist and anyone who says it is is a total retard with no sense of humour. americans have an over exaggerated indian on the simpsons, u dont see the indians screaming racism for that do u?! 2 of the docs who performed were indian!! go the jackson jive. i'd love to see you perform again!
the simpsons exaggerates indian prejudice just like family guy does with anything that is considered a taboo in modern society. they poke fun at such situations to enable individuals to see how stupid such acts of prejudice are. BLACK FACE AND VAUDIVILLE MAKE BLACK PEOPLE LOOK LIKE FOOLS AND ARE ACTS OF RACISM SO THEREFORE THERE IS NO COMPARISON!
You american are all stupid, self obsessed hypocrites. After all you've fucking done to black people, you have the nerve to call us racists? Stupid, fat, freeloading pigs.
Watch Mississippi Burning, that'll smarten you up a bit.

This skit shows a stunning level of ignorance on the part of the show's producers. Given the cultural and historical context, one would think blackface would be avoided at all costs. All the commentaries you see here on YT are a bunch of non-aboriginal people discussing whether or not this is offensive. That's utter bullsh*t;ask the people who are the butt of this brand of satire if they find it so hilarious. I highly doubt they are able to have quite the laugh that colonial whites are afforded.

The funny thing about all of this is that probably not even 0.11% of Americans have even seen this video or care. However, I see a hell of a lot of Austraaaaalians commenting on various videos and using it to bash yanks. Then only to turn around and claim we as a country are not racist. Bull Crap. I lived there and saw it firsthand. Regardless of whether someone was born there or not, White Anglo's treat those of a different ethnicity as a 2nd class citizens.

Goverment Racist? Which goverment of Australia is that? Which polition are you talking about? I noticed one of your videos featured the Immigration minister of the previous government, in a story in regards to the Sudanese situation of about 2006-2007. When immigration of the Sudanese was temporarily halted, more Iraqi's and Burmese were allowed in to meet Immigration quotas, Australia just can not let everyone come in at once, as the economy can not sustain it.

POLICIES are in place to maintain order whilst refugees are screened and processed, also to balance and maintain a efficient economy. Refugees get generous social security payments (more than average weekly earnings) and public housing in order to integrate into Australian society

it is about political correctness. People are offended so easily these days. If I said I was offended by Harry Connick Jr. for his comments no one would give a shit.

If your culture includes rampant and offensive racism (and it does) then HCJ was correct to speak out against you.

Such cultural traits as that should be identified as unacceptable and the offending country ostricised..
For an overly proud nation like Australia, the global rebuke is painful, but you must accept it, apologise for your actions & not repeat such racisms for your future.

You're so clueless and ignorant that I feel sorry for you. What your missing is an ocean of sarcasm and wit that comics who do race comedy and these cromagnon aussie idiots. That's the joke behind white chicks and chris rock's jokes. There are white comics in the US who do race jokes as well. It takes an amazing level of wit and comic insight to be able to find humor in race which is what these comics have.
melonbarmonster 2 years ago
What these idiots are doing is just straight making fun of the race of jacksons. That's just racist. It's just walking up to an asian, arab or black person and then imitating racial stereotypes. That's not comedy but straight racism... but when the one small black kid is able to turn the situation on its head and lampoon the white majority with wit and humor, that's comic gold. I hope you're not too stupid to see the difference.
melonbarmonster 2 years ago
Don't complain about double standards. If you are offended by whiteface, say it, but don't bitch about double standards because you are guilty of the same double standard. The reason why White Chicks isn't offensive is because white people don't voice the complaint that they are offended. Know why? Because they aren't. However black people are, because of the history of racism in America. You just have to deal with it.

the simpsons exaggerates indian prejudice just like family guy does with anything that is considered a taboo in modern society. they poke fun at such situations to enable individuals to see how stupid such acts of prejudice are. BLACK FACE AND VAUDIVILLE MAKE BLACK PEOPLE LOOK LIKE FOOLS AND ARE ACTS OF RACISM SO THEREFORE THERE IS NO COMPARISON!

You american are all stupid, self obsessed hypocrites. After all you've fucking done to black people, you have the nerve to call us racists? Stupid, fat, freeloading pigs.
Watch Mississippi Burning, that'll smarten you up a bit.
Remember the KKK you stupid confederate fucks?
To the bitch that uploaded this- You are just a dumb fucking slut who has nothing better to do. Get some brains you retarded moron.

Today Kamahl was on the Massive Tool Little Steve Price Show and he said it was Hell being in the same room as the Ignorant Hey Hey people .Imagene being at the mercy of those White Trash Debutantes. No doubt this thinly disguised KKK Racist Tribute will not go away
