GREG PAGE from The Wiggles is sick, and it's odd that I'm tearing up as I read all the reports of Greg Page -- the yellow-shirted guy from The Wiggles -- asking in and between the lines:
What are The Wiggles going to say about Greg Page tomorrow at their press conference?
What is the mystery illness that has been causing Greg Page to faint?
Are The Wiggles going to replace Greg Page, one of The Wiggles' founders, with the understudy, Sam Moran, that's been filling in for Greg Page since he dropped out in July?
My sis never cared much for The Wiggles because she says they hardly ever have black folks on their show. From my observations of The Wiggles' shows, I believe she's right.
But The Wiggles, after all, are from Australia, and I keep getting reports that Australians aren't too keen on black folks down under. Come and spend your tourist money for sure, scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef, but if you want to pack up and move there it's off to the bush for you, they say.
I hope that's not really true. Any blacks folks living in Australia reading this? Please hit me up and let me know for sure. I must see the land of under before I die.
With Greg Page being so young at 34, I'm praying that it's no where near his time to go. May Jesus heal him and comfort his family and lead them to a resolution in this trying time.
Anyway, just in case you've been living under the brush and never heard of The Wiggles, or just want to stock up on some Wiggles stuff and sing a long with great songs like Fruit Salad (yummy yummy) or Hot Potato (Hot Potato) here are a few of their DVDs:

Sure there are ignorant racists here, but unfortunately, every country has them.
Not all of us are like that!
Hope you get to see Australia one day!
Cheers, Sandra
Thanks for the good news. I hope to be there some day. Who knows, maybe Wife Swap: Down Under?
It's weird, some of them have very dark skin and blue, blue eyes. Gorgeous...

and Greg my dear get better soon. I ahve tried to tell Jeren one day he might see a different greg.. and that you are sick I am sure many kids will be okay with it Get better Soon
Being a fair dinkum bloke from down under I'd just like to let your readers know that Australia has had its fair share of slavery in its time. In the case of the US it was cotton that was the mainstay behind slavery. In Australia, sugar cane came over with the First Fleet, and the early Queensland industry's chosen method of bastardry was black birding, a practice where young males were taken from their Pacific Island homes either by force or trickery and transported by ship to Australia where they laboured in hot fields of sugar cane for the rest of their lives.
Even today the Asian Sex Trade is our latest form of slavery.........
