Hey Hey it's bloody racist mate!


The Aussies are in denial, thinking they can get away with blatant racism by saying "it's our humour". The Hey Hey it's Saturday show on channel 9 tried this stunt, only it backfired badly when American Harry Connick Jr took offence to the skit saying it was demeaning to black people in his home country. Of course the Australian way prevailed, and they tried to dig up some dirt on him, finding a skit he did as a Southern Preacher years ago, and have now called him a hypocrite....For goodness sakes he was brought up in New Orleans!.

Well, let me say one thing, I have witnessed more racial hatred and blatant racism in Australia in the last few years than I ever did in South Africa (shock horror) yes it's true, especially in Northern Queensland (where I have travelled extensively) and in comments and chirps made to me (in jest some of the time) when I mentioned my roots. It is unacceptable and for the Australians to do their normal and try and look as if butter would never melt in their mouths and then parade this shit on the TV and try get away with it is plain double standards.

Look what happened in Australia's race riots in Cronulla a year of two ago, this is a nation of immigrants and the Aussies need to wake up and get with the program, and stop their racist jibes, they hurt people deeply, It's not humour, its a piss poor platform to make fun of anyone they feel they have the right to.
