Amy Winehouse: Singer, Drug Addict and Racist?

Posted on June 14, 2008 - 9:05am by terra Recently, the British tabloid News of the World posted a viral video of Amy Winehouse and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil hanging out in what was termed a "crack den" and singing lyrics to an outrageous and racially offensive song they made up to the musical tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes."



It goes a little something like this. Ahem...

"Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips."

The video, which was allegedly shot during her honeymoon in May 2007, depicts the couple making offensive remarks against people of different races, sexual orientations and, if that wasn't low enough, the disabled.



Well, better be careful Amy. If you dislike the physically and/or mentally disabled, you better forget about breeding all together.

After the video leak, Winehouse attempted to defend herself in front of paparazzi, stating, "I don't want to play anything down, but I'm the least racist person going."

I don't think that statement could "play down the damage that's already been done to her career, even before the racist video leak.

Ironically, Winehouse just signed on to perform for Nelson Mandela at his 90th birthday celebration.



As if meeting Amy Crackhouse wouldn't be awkward enough, having her as a main performer at the birthday of the former President of South Africa and leader of the African National Congress just doesn't seem right. Right?
