I give harry points for the comments but he should have gonged their ass as soon as they walked out rather than watch that bullshit.
Harry Connick Jr. Blows Up at Blackface Jackson 5 Impersonators
- Thread starter KLEPTO
- Start date
Why would it matter if they were doctors or janitors? Both are hard working honest professions and have nothing to do with a persons individual integrity or morality.What was even more offensive to me was that all those guys in "THE JACKSON JIVE" are medical professionals.
Pity for Aboriginal peeps under their care.
Shut up!...you say ONE MORE WORD and I'm will beat your mothafuckin ASS TINA!-Ike Turner Tribute

Harry Connick Jr. is helping build entire neighborhoods in New Orleans and has probably done more for black people than most of us(which is kinda sad). His record speaks for itself...when the majority of us have forgotten about katrina, he's still on the frontline.

Fuck him and fuck you...fuckin dickrider...ooooh Harry I love you...fuck outta here...
Says the Jackson 5 dickrider.
Nigga please. I dont care about you or Harry Connick Jr. Just stating facts. Go drink a glass of battery acid.
wow...just wow...20 yrs later...and they did the same stunt...did anybody say something 20 yrs ago when they did that same bullshit?
Props to Harry Connick Jr.

that he spoke out.
No you're the naive one if you think a persons profession does or should eliminate them from participating in something as anti intellectual or irrational as racist behavior. Its about hate and ignorance and intolerance, not about occupational choice.You can't be that naive. At least Harry did say something.
Better wake the fuck up.
Nigga I am woke, your first sentence does not communicate your above point well, be a little more clear.
The first comment of mine which you quoted was in response to someone saying they were more offended that the offending party were doctors. My response was to communicate that a persons occupation is immaterial as hate is hate and its all pretty fucked up.
You then said i was naive. I then reinerated my original point. Raicst pieces of shit come in all shapes sizes colors and occupations. Its a mindset not based on ones job or skillset.
Does that clear it up?
lol @ harry at the 2:31 - 2:33 mark.he had that 'yawl liable to get ya azzes whooped' look on his face
I like that wtf look he had on at about 1:59.
And nukdollars, that second clip wasn't from 20 years ago, homie...
Harry Connick is the truth...i'm in shock that they even thought this was a good idea...wtf is REALLY going on?
Exactly.
I know...but,they said that they was on that same show 20 yrs. before that show.
Like others have said - Harry's a good dude ... always has been. He's intelligent and well-spoken and has put in time in the MUSIC/ACTING realms, for real. Props to him on checking that foolish act.
You would fuckin' think those idiots ON STAGE would've known better. This is 2009 and that was rather tasteless. Especially coming from EDUCATED performers. I know ya'll heard them when they were asked of their real occupations, and the cats in blackface noted they were a PLASTIC SURGEON / CARDIOLOGIST / PSYCHIATRIST / ANESTHETIST / and 2 other medically-related job titles to boot. Props to Harry on checking them and speaking up for how uncalled for that shit was.

"Connick Jr was raised in New Orleans and learned to play alongside African-American jazz musicians.
Jackson Jive members later told the Herald Sun they had flagged potential issues with the performance with producers before the show.
Dr Anand Deva, who played Michael Jackson in the skit, said the act was meant to be a tribute to Michael Jackson.
"It certainly was not meant to be racist in any way at all," Dr Deva said.
"I think he (Connick Jr) is taking it the wrong way."

Took the words out of my mouth.
A Black celebrity wouldn't of said anything because they're afraid of losing their sponsor deals. M'fucking coons.
Truth right there!!! Too many peeps condemning this will be more than happy to see a black man coon himself out infront of the camera. Gucci Mane (shudders) is a clear example of this.
PREACH!!!! Racism is not restricted to class, financial status or occupation. Intelligence and ignorance do not correlate.
Very true.
As the extremely bigoted black men who dominate this board prove time and time agan.
you are so predictable, if anyone here says anything about white people you immediately try to compare it to some black folks get the fuck outta here
Being white and being from New Orleans doesn't mean you are "down" with black people by any stretch.
BELIEVE ME.
carry on.
Props to H.C.J.
But he is.
He grew up in a totally integrated environment in New Orleans, where his dad was an attorney (I think). He was a child piano prodigy and played with Eubie Blake at age 9, and worked in French Quarter jazz clubs in his early teens.
