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):
Isn’t it true that Jamaal and Rasheed Wright invented the airplane? Didn’t Malik Ford invent the mass production line?
Shazam, has somebody been feeding me shiite? I got this directly from the NAACP, it mus’be true!
So says the untalented unemployed black man.
RAP: Retarded African Poetry.
Actually, Jews are the most talented people in the world. You know it’s true. :)
Yeah, but there’s ten times as many white people, so your ratio is a little off.
Uh, yea, right.
So... who invented electrical power, lights, radio, tv, vaccinations, DNA sequencing, DNA, atomic physics, etc?
Oh... sorry. I guess that’s not ‘talent.’
Who the HELL is that?? Is it a WOMAN?? I seriously don’t know.
He is just another reason to boycott hollywood in its totality.
JoMa
He’s talking about the crazed left wing cop killer Christopher Dorner’s too.

Yes they are! Just look at how talented they’ve been in running Detroit, Birmingham, Memphis, South Africa, Zimbabwe-any place in the world run by blacks-right into the ground. Even when the previous “untalented” white people who ran it, left them all the infrastructure, an efficient economy, etc, as a head start (one which we create for ourselves, I might add). They’re extremely talented at crime, esp violent crime, most especially sexual crimes-just look at the black rape rates, esp interracial-they’ve got whites beat at that app 115-0!
How’s Nigeria’s space program coming along? For that matter, how’s their car industry doing? Or anything involving the wheel?
Does he mean the arts? Classical music-what’s that compared to the sublimity of rap? Ballet? What’s that compared to “booty clapping”? Rembrandt, Mochalengelo, who are they compared to the “sophisticated” art of fertility masks?
“Django Unhinged”, lol
I agree so lets end Affirmative Action™ now. The MOST talented should not need a quota system anymore.
Yeah, and it’s really rather a sad, weak, version of the white variety, because at least whites can show a history of achievement going back thousands of years. The black version (once again, a copy of what some whites already did) is just bravado.
Everyone knows that Aliens are the most talented, they have spaceships.
Jamie Foxx is such a joke. Anyone here seen “Stealth”? There’s a delightful scene where the three pilots are in their shipboard rooms “studying” the new UAV assigned to their group. The two white people study diligently while a shirtless, sunglasses-wearing Jamie Foxx (I swear I’m not making this up) listens to rap music, spins a basketball on his finger, and pretends like paparazzi are taking pictures of him at a nightclub. Every few seconds he glances at the computer that he should be studying.
It’s supposed to further establish that Foxx’s character is “the cool one” but it’s so blatantly racist, one has to wonder how it made it into the final cut. And Jamie Foxx apparently had no problem with the scene or his participation in it.
Talented indeed Jamie - don't let the plantation door hit you in the face when you take a quick peek at the greener side of the fence.
“That’s why subSaharan Africa never even invented the wheel.”
Or a written language.
You owe me a keyboard...
