I haven't defended it... i think it was absurd. I was pointing out people were making assumptions.

What has black persecuting whites got to do with what I've said?

There is no justification for someone to belittle me because of my skin colour... do you not get that? What is wrong with you?

Witness the concept of 'original sin' and 'white guilt'. It's more acceptable to patronise and belittle the white people of today, because some of the white people in the past were assholes. Thank god that tripe is only prevalent in the U.S and U.K, and not in Australia.

There are no caveats, disclaimers, exceptions ... someone should not be belittled simply becasue of their skin colour. Your attitude comes across as appalling and backwards.

I'd agree with that. I don't think there was any maliciousness in the sketch. There happened to be "blacked up" people in the sketch. End of.

I'd be interested to know the opinion of black people and whether they found the sketch offensive.
