Jamie Foxx on BET, was it racist?

[GHook93]

Jamie Foxx (an actor who I like a lot, I think he is highly talented) did a tribute to Michael Jackson, but in the middle of the tribute he stated, "Michael was ours (Black People) we loved him...we just lent him to you (white people)!"

Was this racist? I think it was! The double standard runs deep! Just imagine a white guy saying that during a meeting for the WET (White Entertainment Television). "You know that Robert D'Niro was ours, we loved him...we just lent him to the black people!" People would be up in arms!

Lent him to us? Hell! we didn't want him! shoot Jamie you keep him!

No, it wasn't racist and no it isn't comparable to the scenario you just mentioned since Deniro in no way has any connection with black people. Its funny how white people like calling black people racist if only because white people can't get away with doing the same thing, as if that makes/not makes something racist.

Actually, yeah, I think that's pretty much the definition of it.

 

[Diuretic]

It's not racist, it's separatist.

 

[Zoom-boing]

Michael Jackson was black?

 

[SunWorshiper]

That was an asshole comment by Jamie Foxx, he's an asshole. If they want to claim Michael Jackson, good for them, I certainly wouldn't want to claim him.

 

[SW2SILVERQUASI]

I never liked Jamie Fox that much, I did like Redd Fox, once upon a time. You know, I remember once upon a time, Micheal Jackson used to be black, back in the day.

DeNiro is white? Holy crap! I thought he was a wop!

That was before he decided he wanted to be Diana Ross. Along with his sister, LaToya.

Meanwhile, Diana Ross was trying to look like Vivien Leigh.

Once again, a WJ lie.

rac·ism (rszm)

1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Michael Jackson was black?

I keep forgetting that to.

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Yes Foxx is a racist!!

 

[Lonestar_logic]

I should add that most black people are racist.

The behavior of Mr. Foxx is pretty much the definition of racist.

Don't you recall his 2006 TV special in which he banned all white entertainers?

JAMIE FOXX is laughing off reports TV bosses refused to promote his recent concert special after hearing he'd banned white performers from the show.

No it isn't comparable to the scenario you just mentioned since Deniro in no way has any connection with black people.

So no black people enjoyed his movies? So no black people paid money to see or buy his movies? Please!

Also its well know that De Niro only dates and shags black women!

It's not racist, it's separatist.

 

[wvulax]

He is funny though

It was a fair trade we gave 'em Timberlake, ha ha

I think it was meant as a joke, not a good one.

I never viewed him as an asshole. In fact he always seemed like a upstanding and talented individual! Prior to this OK!

 

[AkronGuy]

I think I'd die if I found a black comic who didn't rely upon race for most of his material. I mean, just one !
