Again, Why Do Black Folks Love Amy Winehouse?

Amy surrounded by her drug paraphernalia
An interesting video of Amy Winehouse was just released and it shows her being taped by her hubby Blake Incarcerated back in May of '07. She and a friend were singing racists chants to the camera. Check the video here. According to the video and the NOTW site: Amy, 24, and a pal called Sarah giggle as they sing a string of racist lines set to the tune of kiddies' favourite ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes'. Blake pretends NOT to record the unfolding events and eggs them on, saying: "Can we have a singsong of it?" Sarah is at first reluctant but soon warms to the action as Amy enthusiastically sings: "Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips! "And deaf and dumb and blind and gay!" She repeats the first line over again and on the word "Nips" Amy pulls her eyes into slits then pushes her boobs up in a gesture to her nipples. I mean, I guess you can "blame it on the drugs". But whatever. It is what it is. And I'm still not impressed.

I never liked her music

I never liked her music anyway, but whatev to her, she's a crackhead anyway, I'm sure she'll just blame it on the drugs!

Well, whether Black people

Well, whether Black people can be racist or not is a debateable point. But they can be as racially insensitive as a white bigot. When I was child, I had a friend of Korean descent. One day my cousins came over to visit, and they made snarking remarks about the shape of her eyes and face. I became upset because my friend became upset and I know what its like for people to tease you over something as innocuous as skin color, hair texture, eye shape and the like. My mother lectured my cousins but the damage was done. The entire day was ruined and my friend was hurt. Several years ago, my maternal aunt called me a "Puerto Rican bitch." My mother is Black, my father is from Puerto Rican. Even though I have always considered myself Black, she nevertheless felt the need to call me this when she got into an argument with my mother. She couldn't argue down the points my mother was making so instead she tried to hurt my mother by attacking me. Nice.

Let he who has never made an off color remark or he who has never LTBAO to the likes of eddie murphy, chris rock, or richard pryor cast the first stone...and as cracked out as she was and is she said blacks not n.....s! i am not trying to justify bad behavior i am just saying that all of us are guilty of it and are most likely sober and lucid in these very moments...as for her music i have both CD's and her first CD frank is excellent...she is a very talented singer and songwriter (she also plays the guitar) who has found herself in a bad situation...and if yall really want to be offended by some home video check out the reruns of being bobby brown...or take it a step further and download karrine steffans radio interview with jamie foxx, then go and google images of nas and kelis wearing n....r tee shirts...then let's it down and take a hard objective look at what is more offensive a white crackhead offending blacks or US offending US![/quote] If you want to get offended, watch paris hilton call blacks ni**gers on two tapes. Give me a break! she is not racist.

“And deaf and dumb and blind and gay!” She should've added crackheads to the list.

1st. I'm not impressed

1st. I'm not impressed either, but I can't expect much from her. She's just "not all there." PS. That has got to be the nastiest house I've seen in a long time. I just want to take a bucket of bleach, water and a sponge to her and that living room.

Well, to answer you initial

Well, to answer you initial question, blacks enjoyed her music because...well..it's good. The support came before this 'breaking news'. That being said, as bad as it is that she sang it, imagine if everyone was secretly taped? I'm pretty sure we all have said things far worse then Ms. Winehouse...not to excuse her behaviour of course.

Does anyone remember that

Does anyone remember that email that was going around about 10 things black people should know but don't? It also talked about 10 things white and hispanics should know but don't. It was hilarious! I'll post it if I find it. It offended each group, so no one felt left out, lol.

I like Winehouse's talent,

I like Winehouse's talent, just like I enjoy R. Kelly's talent. Don't fool yourselves people love Michael Jackson but are appalled at the pedophile "rumors". Talent & genius = nuts! Kells, I got in troble at work for the expression "got her Irish up". Bitch said it was insulting to her as an Irish woman. Since I was relaying a direct quote from my Irish buddy the complaint got thrown out.

This is the reason why I

This is the reason why I download music for free, if i didn't might as well I take my hard earned money and give it to Ole Betty the crackhead down the street - atleast with Ole Betty - she might be able to hook me up with something for half price! What can I get from Amy?

I'm sorry but booo to whoever

I'm sorry but booo to whoever buys this druggie's CD to sustain her annoying habit. It's about time that her so-called record label dropped her ass. The more i see her picture, the more infuriated i get. She's a complete mess. And to think a lot more young people are looking up to her and like her music.

That's funny, she got all this racist stuff to say, but it's obvious from her album that her style of music is inspired by black artists from the 50s and 60s. I was a fan, but now I guess I'll have to wipe her (bootlegged) album off my iPod. Stupid cow.

There's a difference between makeing a joke and being a racist. I make racial jokes, does that mean I'm a racist? maybe yes or maybe no![/quote] Thank you - that is the point I was trying to make. Racial jokes - we all do that.[/quote] now kp u just said you don't do that (make racial jokes or use those terms). and okay bmw let the white girl in your office in boston of all places make a joke at a staff meeting using the n word or something that's just offensive and see if you don't call her racist. yall act like there's no such thing as a racial joke...[/quote] no I don't do that - I said "we" as in general.

I'm not shocked by this tape because she is a crack head( with great talent) and she is human. Everyone in here is acting like they have never said a single bad thing about anyones race. I have! did i find it offensive?......... nope!.......... why?......... because I also make racial jokes! it's nothing new that Amy Winehouse is a lost young woman who is addicted to drugs because she can't deal with reality of her own life! I still love her albums, and I will continue to play her crackish jazz! Are racial jokes right?..................nope, but they do happen.
