| I agree, Becoblue. I don't know why. And really, truly not meaning to sound racist, but now, with the rights of both races being so equal, why do 'blacks' still get extra attention as if they are victims? Like when taking a test at school you usually have to tick one of these boxes. Are you Aborignal? Are you Torres Strait Islander? Neither? I mean, what difference should that make? At school there also used to be a tutoring session especially for Aborignals. Why is there a need to seperate children into tutoring groups based on race? Sorry if this offended anyone as it was never meant in that way. |

| I didn't hear Red's comment so I have nothing to say on that, but I find it interesting that the only comments that are ever regarded as racist are those made by 'whites' against 'blacks'. Comments the other way around are never regarded as racist. Why? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| May i ask how many of you are actually aborginal . How many of you have familys affected by the stolen generation era . It still happens today with our welfare officals so in Regards To i know racism yes i know racism . Red might be talented at what he does but if u ask any aboriginal in australia were they offended by his comments they would not hesitate to say yes and no my channel is not stuck on 7 Thank u very much | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If anything - Red did exactly what Midnight Oil did at the Sydney Olympics when they wore clothes with "sorry" written all over them during their performance. Red used his position, unique style and personality to raise awareness of the issues, especially in light of the anniversary of Rudds apology. Just by saying sorry on tv he keeps it all in the public arena, even if he disguises it behind a bit of humour. That's his style and what his fans like about him so it's the best way for him to get his message across. If you looked carefully though you could see his expression was sincere and serious. Good on him I reckon. He clearly cares about this stuff. |

| Exactly. I remember watching Hey Hey It's Saturday when I was just a little kid. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RED has always been the same even on hey hey its saturday ... why should he change now ... if you dont like it change channels or does your tv only get channel 7 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Red was in Skyhooks, therefore he wins. And the comment he made was not racist. Danni annoys me and barely anyone knew who Tom was before he became a judge on the show. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tom certainly is not "talentless", but has been in the industry for many years both as an actor and singer. The Sinatra family personally chose him for the "voice" of Sinatra for a production a few years ago and he also starred in the movie "the Man From Snowy River" with Sigrid Thornton. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| All Red said was "I reckon we owe you" and "Sorry for the other thing". I've seen and heard and experienced "racist" so I know it well - and that aint it. I like all three judges, Tom is the nice one, Danni is energetic and does the "main judge" role well but Red is the most entertaining and just likes to have fun. Got no problem with any of them. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The other judges are has-beens, Dannii has always been a Kylie wannabee and Tom ia too soft. Go Red! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If the other judges were bums then how did they get to where they are now ? ? ? and as for the racial comment maybe the producers were just hoping that no one would hear it . | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Red is the only decent judge on the show. The others are just talentless bums. The comment was obviously not meant to be racist, otherwise it would not been aired, but rather, edited out. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Red was wrong to Crack jokes, its not fair on anyone, it is a well known bully tactic and , those who treat others like they are a joke should be treated like a joke, enjoy ur retirement red. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| People It was a racist comment even if it was just 5 words ( sorry for the other reason ) why should we lighten up You try going through the pain we have then tell us to ( lighten up ) Its easy for kevin rudd to say sorry but whats with red being a comedian about it . Like i have expressed to people before TRY LIVING OUR LIFE | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Obviously Red was having a bit of fun about saying sorry to the stolen generation. And that's all it was, a bit of fun. Lighten up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I must be missing something here, too. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I dont understand - why was that a racist comment? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| As the traditional owners of this land we were deeply offended by reds comment to the peformer richie on tonights show .Red quoted *sorry for the other reason * RED HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF WE TURNED RACIST TOWARDS YOU yes kevin rudd said sorry but 200 years on we r still hurt and we will always be NOTHING WILL CHANGE THE PAST please comment to have red kicked of t.v | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
