Racism is alive and well in Australia. And Harry Connick Jr is WAY not happy about it.
“Last night's hoped-for triumph for Channel Nine plunged into controversy when a Red Faces skit on the Hey Hey Reunion show involved a group calling themselves Jackson Jive donning black-face makeup.
Guest judge Harry Connick Jnr gave the group a zero, returning later to condemn the skit and saying he would not have participated in the program if he had known it was going to air.”
UPDATE 1: Amazingly, Connick Jr is now accused of “over-reacting to a bit of fun”. Go here.
UPDATE 2: OMG. Watch this.
