remember when Ted Danson did blackface? imlad Send a noteboard - 09/10/2009 05:23:21 PM
Back when he was dating Whoopi Goldberg. And she was with him at whatever even it was he did that.

Everyone in America seemed to get upset over it. Except for Whoopi, who laughed about it.

Personally, I'd say it all depends on the circumstances of the whole thing. I don't think Danson was being racist. Not sure about those other guys tho.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

Is this racist, or are people losing their sense of humour? Colonel Logain - 09/10/2009 01:36:26 AM 853 Views
While it is possible that it was not done with racist intent.... Mat Maniac - 09/10/2009 01:51:28 AM 606 Views

I don't think it was racist but I do think it was inappropriate. everynametaken - 09/10/2009 02:10:35 AM 536 Views
The whole point was the skit was performed 20 years ago with the same people Colonel Logain - 09/10/2009 02:15:53 AM 529 Views
What might have been appropriate 20 years ago may not be today. The world has changed. *NM* everynametaken - 09/10/2009 03:42:35 AM 199 Views

It would be in America, or if they were Americans. But that's a different historical context. Burr - 09/10/2009 03:49:14 AM 529 Views
No, Australia doesn't Colonel Logain - 09/10/2009 03:57:47 AM 533 Views

Poor taste regardless. But it wasn't funny either. Boring waste of time. *NM* Tashmere - 09/10/2009 04:44:05 AM 190 Views

I think too many people don't know what "racist" actually means. *NM* Palatine - 09/10/2009 05:40:54 PM 202 Views
You have to understand the legacy of the American "minstrel shows. " Joel - 09/10/2009 11:13:25 PM 585 Views
Considering that some of the people doing the skit were of Indian (country not native american).... mick - 12/10/2009 03:00:40 AM 510 Views
Well, I didn't think it was racist to begin with Colonel Logain - 12/10/2009 10:41:42 AM 513 Views
