In 1977 the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson ran a hideously unfunny and offensive sketch called "Hang a Darkie," that ridicules a black cast member of the classic '70s TV series CPO Sharkey as a "black man" who should be hung from a tree by Don Rickles. It was played on NBC, which is currently owned by GE, but back then was probably still owned by the Chinese.

Here's a choice excerpt from the show's script:

*Johnny sees a black man*

Hey, a black man!

*Johnny walks over to said black man*

Hey, yo, black man, how's it going, daddy!

*Johnny says to Don Rickles*

Hang him.

We the undersigned are disgusted by this blatant display of racism and insensitivity to a classic '70s sitcom star. While we acknowledge that it would be rather difficult for Johnny Carson to respond to our outrage in any way given his recent passing, we are requesting that, rather than being buried properly, his corpse remain forever above the earth's suface in a wet cardboard box on an abandoned lot in an ethnic ghetto, to forever serve as a reminder that this sort of racism will not stand so long as the hip-hop blogosphere is out there fighting the battles that are truly important.

He had a biracial granddaughter and I read somewhere that he rebuffed frequent attempts by the parents for him to see his own grandchild. His son had a baby with a black woman, but Johnny Carson acted like the child didn't exist. What a punk. He's probably burning in hell for being such a racist pig. He wasn't that funny anyway.

I DON'T support this - Johnny wasn't a racist - he was playing on Don Rickles tendency to poke fun at anyone of any race in his audience. You'd have to see Rickle's show to understand where Johnny was coming from. He knew a camera was on him - he would never have said those things and meant them if he wasn't parodying Rickles' comedic style. And, Rickles loved everyone - he just showed how stupid saying those things really was.

I agree with this teenager. He clearly has discovered Johnny Carson started slavery and has presented a cogent and logical consequence for his corpse.

To "ActUp" 24: The Mexicans are the only "illegal aliens" whose ancestors were here before you whites! They did nothing illegal to get here unlike devil assholes like you, there are white people and then there are DEVILS, who did real illegal shit like biological warfare in the form of giving Native Americans smallpox infested blankets. Fuck Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction, there's your biological WMD'S, smallpox blankets! That's why your doctors or even my cousin, who is a black doctor don't cure shit today. It's part of your evil fucking status quo. It's like I say in my book, "We will have freedom from oppression when everyone realizes that they can't get into heaven treating people like shit!" FUCK YOU, YOU REDNECK PIECE OF SHIT! MAY SATAN TORTURE YOU IN HELL IN THE SAME WAY YOU TORTURE US "MINORITES" HERE ON EARTH!

Who made you people judge over the life of a fellow man. It is only God who knows the heart of a man. For those of you who think you are "righteous" look deep down in yourself and you will find out your need Jesus. Stop judging others and judge yourself cause if you do you will live right and see your faults.

First of all jose lopez, juan martinez, or pedro guiterrez. Which ever fake illegal names you may be using, how in thw hell you of all people have the nerve to tell other races they need to leave california. How you and your mamas,daddies,uncles,aunt s,extra welfare-sucking-tit-immig rant imposter citizens take your grocery-cart corn,tamale out of thetunk, taking ebt/foodstamps from ice cream trucks back across the border and jump on president vincente fox ass, because not onlyt does he dress like a pimp he got all you beaners acting like his hoes! How dare you slip and slide your asses across the border, using up the rightful citizen's benefits and have the audacity to shit on California. if the did'nt let you criminals across peacefully you all probably would be blasted at the border like they do them in arizona.he main reason you are so despised is because stupid ass stuff you you put in that sorry petition.Not only are you in denial about who owns Cali, but you are also misinformed if you think mexicans got anything to do with it, your not latin darkies, hell the jews consider ya'll mud people. The majority means nothing if the majority aren't legal citizens. You can't vote and if you did most likely it would be illegal, Hell they don't even want to give mexicans drivers license, and for good reason every time you hit someones car they have to get columbo to track you down, and when they find the lazy no driving but hole the name they use is of a 2 year old baby. You want the real low income jobs that supposedly no one in Cali wants is just a flat out mythical lie. the reason these companies hire mexicans is because you will under cut the real citizens on the pay. Hell if I had a company and a mexican will work for 2.75 versus the real minium wage of 6.75 I'd hire your dumm asses to, then when you get hurt like most of the companies do I'd call immigration and turn your illegal immigrant fence hopping ass in.

I listened to Don Rickles for the first time tonight. I looked him up immediately, and found that he has recently been the voice of Mr. Potato Head in the Disney film, Toy Story I and II. I can't believe Disney or NBC would employ him in the 1970s or now. I am disgusted.

To begin with, there was never, repeat, never a sketch on The Tonight Show called "Hang A Darkie" and anyone who claims otherwise is either very mis-informed or a liar. Here's the whole truth: Carson noticed that the cigarette box kept on his desk had been broken. He in turn found out that Don Rickles had broken it while serving as guest host the previous night. Carson then learned that Rickles was shooting his current show C.P.O. Sharkey in the next studio. Carson took his box and had the cameras follow him to the next studio. Rickles and Harrison Page were in the middle of a scene when Carson walked onto the set. Both Rickles and Page were both caught off guard by the surprise appearence of Carson. Carson then went into a impromptu impression of "Rickles" and that's when the exchange between Carson, Rickles and Page took place. The comments were no different than Rickles is/was known to do in his act. Those are the facts. If you chose to ignore them, that's your choice (ignorant though it may be.) It's amazing that someone would actually believe that Harrison Page, let alone Carson and Rickles would willingly participate in a scripted piece of material called "Hang a Darkie." The thought is so absolutely absurd, I am inclined to believe that whomever started this idiotic petition did so either as thier warped idea of what a joke is or some insignificant parasite who's trying to grab their 15 minutes by exploiting the death of Carson.
