Was Jamie Foxx's comment racist?

Which one? Jamie Foxx has made so many racist comments it is hard to keep up with them.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Yes I can't see how that can't be considered as racist

 

[JimH52]

I wonder what the media would do if a Caucasian person said, "White people are the most talented people in the world!"

They'd probably have a hissy fit, but they'd be wrong.

Yes he was, is. But I don't think the comment itself is racist...

Why do you say that?

There's difference between racist and bigoted.

At least, for the left there is.

rw's - look it up.

If by talented he means, rape, murder, child abandonment, std's, dropouts, prison time, obesity, welfare, violence, etc.......

Then he's right

And chocolate ice-cream is the best ice-cream flavor in the world.

Didn't your first grade teacher tell you -- something that can't be proven or disproven, a point of view, or personal taste -- these are OPINIONS.

And black people are extremely talented musicians and athletes.

 

[JimH52]

It doesn't sound like anyone wants to say what the statement was. It was a very stupid and bigoted remark. He has said things like this before, I assume he will continue to make these statements.

Dammit I thought your embarrassingly dumb ass had left this site. Guess I was wrong.

Where is the question???

Foxx is well known as a racist....and makes no secret of it.
Nor do Liberals have any trouble with his racism.

Jamie Foxx - Music Special Controversy on NBC



2. 'm not saying NBC is right but I can see where they are coming from. What if a popular Caucasian artist requested that no one Black appear on their special? Then again NBC has pretty much been Nothing But Caucasian headquarters for the past decade so why can’t we get a little shine?

3. ONEANDONLYJOJO bx watching the !!s embara## themselves auditioning on american idol is the only good part of the show that i watch....

and if a white singer requested an "all white" cast.. africans would throw a million man march and cry racism and try to sue someone.
jamie is a good singer and im a fan but he is no where on the level of having his own special on NBC

Jan 23 - NBC trying to crush Jamie Fox...interesting read.

I ignore most of the Hollyweird creeps like the racist Foxx and various other lefty bobblehead extremists floating around in that cesspool.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Not racist. Overstated opinion tinged with ethnocentrism. Stupid, misguided. But has no impact on anyone's life. His making this ridiculous statement does not create a situation where a white person is denied opportunity or equality.

Take a deep breath, people.

Jamie Foxx joked about killing all the white people. That's what kind of person he is.

Jamie Foxx Defends ?I Kill All the White People? Joke - Black Listed - EBONY

peaking with "The Today Show‘s" Samantha Guthrie, "Django Unchained" actor Jamie Foxx defended his “I kill all the white people” joke from "Saturday Night Live." Sort of.

During the interview, Guthrie asked, “Some people raised some eyebrows at a part of what you said. It was part of your monologue, a joke. You said your character gets to, quote, “kill all the white people,” adding, “how great is that?” I know you know about the criticism, you think it was fair? I mean, how do you look back on it now?”

Foxx responded, saying, “I mean, I — I’m a comedian. So, I mean, I’m not a — I don’t even know what to say.”


Jamie Foxx racist, wherever would you get that idea?
