Whitney Houston Funeral now on Sky News

NormanNicetouch

Possibly slightly controversial this, but have been watching on and off for the last 4 hours. It's an invited guest list. But I have yet to see a white face. Isn't this ever so slightly racist? Can you imagine the funeral of any renowned white singer without a multi-racial crowd? It was the same at Michael Jackson's funeral. 100% black. Come on folks, let the honkies in. We have rhythm too.

Are you sure they're not just very very very very very very dark blue?

Missed Costner. Exception that proves the rule I suppose. But most whites grew up in a white community. Imagine she was white and this was an all-white show. It would be be simply unacceptable.

I think white people would allow coloured people to come.

I feel this church could just be for black people just by the way the mass is been said

I don't care if they're Black, White, Pink Yellow or Green.

I haven't seen such playing up to the TV cameras at a funeral since Elton John at Westminster Abbey in 1997.

Could you not let the Woman's family and friends bury her without demanding a contrived Politically Correct staged affair is arranged to suit someone watching on Sky News who can't be bothered getting his facts correct before he logs onto Boards to rant about it?

In the same way you'd get a church just for white people. Right so....

There are no churches for just white or black people, but there are communities that are predominantly white and there are communities that are predominantly black.

No read my post again.

What you are looking for is a Politically Correct seating arrangement where some white and other ethnicities are seated so that they can be seen on Television.

And it's Politically incorrect, not politically uncorrect.

Bloody hell. It's over!! 4 freaking hours. See they let whitey in at the end.

No, what I was actually looking for was anything remotely resembling the demographics of modern America. As a white male why am I not allowed to be offended by this broadcast?
