It seems Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx just can't avoid saying something really stupid at awards ceremonies.
After calling Barack Obama "Our Lord and Savior" at last November's Soul Train Awards, Foxx, during his acceptance speech as Entertainer of the Year at last Friday's NAACP Image Awards, said, "Black people are the most talented people in the world" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
“He is just another reason to boycott hollywood in its totality.”
Really; I’ll never understand why whites spend money seeing movies that just denigrate them while sowing this absurd fantasy world of black geniuses and family men that is totally at odds with what our lying eyes show all around us.
I also don’t know why the powers that be that promote this nonsense simultaneously allow “The Maury Show” to depict blacks in such a negative light (especially because it is the bottom of the barrel in terms of whites that are home watching it while others are at work).
O-mazing!
He’s correct.
The great African architecture, sculpture, wonderfully cast bronze antiquities all point to the tremendous African talent.
"My name isn't 'Slick.' It's Zoidberg. Beyonce F***in' Zoidberg!"
Yeah, that south side of Chicago sure shows how talented and smart all them negros are.
Killing each other off and all.
Blacks in America feel they are owed big time, and feel it’s their turn to be in control. It’s a pure and simple power grab. Whites are to stfu and deal with it. Maybe even get a some payback. Pure racism.
If they’re so talented, why do they need affirmative action?
List the accomplishments that came out of Africa:
I would put Mozart, Michelangelo, Bernini, Ford, Gates, Einstein and Eiffel, against his FlavaFlav, Lil’Wayne, Blanksy, or Obama any day of the week.
At least Mel Gibson had public intoxication to hide behind on some of his controversial statements which all but destroyed his career.
Where's the outrage aimed at Foxx?
And collecting free cheese once a month and getting food stamps.
Hey, hard to argue with that!
Show me any other ancient civilization dating back four thousand years which has been persecuted horribly, virtually wiped out repeatedly, but keeps coming back and wiping the floor with their enemies.
Might be enough to indicate even to hard-bitten atheists that G-d had something to do with it...
If a person is a retard. RAP: Retarded African Poetry.
If blacks are so talented, how come so few can’t live without white man’s money?
Valid point.
Let's not forget that unlike lots of other property owners during the Los Angeles riots who decided to get out of the way of the rioters, knowing they could collect their insurance money and either rebuild or shut down their business, significant numbers of Korean business owners lived in the upper floors of the inner-city stores which they had spent huge amounts of personal effort to reopen when other people weren't willing to take the risk to start an inner-city business. Also, many had minimal if any insurance.
When you see a mob of angry people approaching your business and your wife and daughter are cowering upstairs in your bathroom, you're much more likely to get out a rifle and start shooting.
Considering some other comments on this thread, I'd better say this has zero to do with race. I've lived in inner-city communities, both black neighborhoods in the north and Hispanic barrios in the southwest, where I was virtually the only white person in my neighborhood. Most black or hispanic people, even in high-crime neighborhoods, are decent people. The problem is they've been intimidated into silence by a small percentage of thugs.
Rather than gun bans, personally I think the best thing we could do for the inner cities is to encourage handgun ownership for everyone living in a high-crime neighborhood who doesn't have a criminal record, with free training for women and elderly people, on the grounds that a handgun in the hands of a woman or an older person neutralizes the physical strength advantages of young angry males. Burglaries and home invasion rates would drop quickly, and lots of crime victims with good aim would have the beneficial side effect of reducing our prison bills.
Is this an unconstitutional income redistribution scheme in which the government shouldn't be involved. Of course.
But hey, sometime we have to compromise in politics. If we're going to give "Obamaphones" to poor inner-city people, as long as we're going to spend government money on something anyway, why not give "GOPguns" to poor inner-city people?
This will never happen, of course, but if it did, it might actually work.
