Default Jackson Jive... Racist?

Well what do you think... Apparently this has caused outrage across America!

Interested to see wether you think yes or no and your opinion of it.

People just want to deem anything racist these days you can't open your mouth but your being called a racist.
I personally don't think the video is racist but it is funny.
It was robert downey Jr played the black guy in tropic thunder and that was funny also.
People just need to get a life or f**k off and complian about something else.

FPMSL - thats funny as fuck.

I dont see how its racist at all, ok so they look a bit stereotypical black with the afro etc, but thats what the jacksons were like back then, so any parody of them has to be too.

Think its amusing, not racist in the slightest, but then I'm normal and not one of these wankers that tries to make aggro over something like this.


Cheers,
