Sorry if it's a repost. Surely it's been posted before but the search brings up nothing.

Anyway, I give you 'The Jackson Jive' yikes

And Whoopi Goldberg's thoughts

Does anyone spot the hypocrisy exactly one minute into the clip though? scratchchin

I thought it was utter drivel and lasted 20 seconds before I got bored.

Towards the end.. the American bloke "In my country, we've spent so much time trying to make black people not look like bafoons"!

Surely his remark was far more offensive than the comedy sketch without him even realising it!

Edit: Just watched the second clip with Whoopi Goldberg's response. At least she can see through the facade of fake political correctness and see that the sketch had no malicious intent.
