I am from Australia and Australian TV Show Hey Hey It's Saturday recently has recently made world headlines about a bad comedy amateur sketch about The Jackson Five and the Michael Jackson person had his face painted White.

The comdey sketch is called Red faces where people who enter, usually are really really so bad, that it is actually funny.

See the Sketch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k739n2VEsbA

Harry Connick Jnr was a Judge on the show and was quite upset about the skit:

I believe there has been a huge over reaction about this.

I lived in Holland for a couple of years and one of the Dutch side kick traditions of Santa Claus is named Zwarte Piete (Black Pete) http://images.google.com.au/images?h...=f&oq=&start=0

See Black Pete here on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...rch_type=&aq=f

If people are going to get upset about a comedy show, why don't they pick on the Dutch Tradition of white people painting their face black and parading around as a black person. This has happened in Holland for centuries and still today it is accepted without any major problems.

For crying out loud. I don't see what the problem is about the skit.

What do you think?

I don't see it as racist. Bad comedy? Yeah, it wasn't funny and I wouldn't have rated them high.

Eddie Murphy did a skit on SNL where he was a "white" person - there was NO backlash from that and it was far worse than this *banks giving away free money, luxurious parties on city busses, all as soon as the black person left).

Edit: Here is the Eddie Murphy video:

Blown out of proportion. It was just comedy.

I didn't find it funny nor racist.

But certainly, I can't see it as being racist.

I think some people just like to play the "race" card to get attention and seem all sensitive.
