'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains why

Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

Now see, that's a generalization, and racist.

It seems like some blacks equate everything with race is racist?
Yet Jaimie fox claiming "As a black person it's always racial" is not racist?

This is the EXACT double standard many of us are talking about.......

I understand, you said it as if all black people do that, you should have worded it better.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

I don't know why I have always understood racism to be where a group that holds power believes another group to be less than . . . go figure . . . it's the blacks (as a whole) who are racist.

Why is that?
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

In which part of his quote did he say or imply that one race is superior to another?

He didn't.

Next.

That is not the definition of being a racist. That is just the definition of being a supremacist. While supremacism can incorporate racism or it can not. Then again, I made a more comprehensive reply. And I will keep on posting that comprehensive reply until people get it.
-----------

This thread is like the many others on DP and nothing changes.

Some people keep on holding that torch that says that blacks are underpriviledged and the victims of racism, especially from white males and all those fake, bull**** stereotypes. The white man holding down the black man where as that just isn't true.

There are black congressmen(and even the president). There are black CEOs (i.e. the CEO of Mcdonalds is a black man). There are black movie stars and millionaires and billionaires and everything. So do tell me how come there is still racism?

You know what is racist? Eric Holder refusing to put the black panther party on trial because it would denigrate "his people". That is real racism right there.

You know what else is racist? The KKK in the 1930's.
You know what else is racist? The fact that in California, mexicans and blacks are the most violent crime victims of each other. That means that blacks get killed mostly by mexicans in violent crimes and viceversa.

You know what else is racist? Claiming that racism is influencing every aspect of your life and you encounter it keeping you down every day despite living in showbis, the most liberal environment in the ENTIRE world. The ENTIRE world.

With this in mind, I would like to make the following proposition.

Given the following evidence.

A) There are prominent blacks in all aspects of public life (government, congress, etc)
B) There are prominent blacks in all aspect of intellectual life (thomas sowell, Neil degrasse tyson, the most popular ones)
C) There are prominent blacks in sports (you name it)
D) There are prominent blacks in business (CEO of Mcdonalds and Xerox-> its even a black woman)
E) There are prominent blacks in showbis, the most liberal environemnt in the world.
F) Everywhere in general... you can find prominent blacks

And yet, despite all these things being TRUE, there is still racism, and racism is in fact a MAJOR problem in the world, even in the MOST LIBERAL PLACE in the world, then the only logical conclusion to derive from this is the following: That racism is part and parcel of human nature. In fact, it is impossible to be human without being a racist, and this is equally valid for all races. In fact, it is inhumane to not be a racist because despite even the most equalitarian ideologies being shoved down people's throats in all aspects of life, racism still prevails even in the most heavily influenced areas of those ideologies. Therefore, racism is above everything in power and can NEVER be removed from humanity and therefore it will always be there as a staple, as the essence of what it means to be a human.
Again, this is only if all above are TRUE, which they are.

If you do not want the above theorem to be valid, then we just have to agree that Jamie Foxxx, like many others, are just stupid racists.

Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

1. You need to learn the definition of "racism" because nothing he said, at all, fits it.

2. I'm tired of (usually) white people (in fact, it's usually white males) who continue to respond so self-righteously and ignorantly to the experiences with race that some minorities have. There is a certain sect of the white (usually heterosexual, Christian, male) population who seem to willfully prevent themselves from understanding that the white experience of race is often dramatically different from the experience of racially marginalized groups. Then, when that sect is confronted with someone who sheds light on one of those different experiences, they cry "racist" and "but what if a white guy said it" instead of actually doing a critical analysis of what was said. It's unbelievable. Educate yourselves.


And then there are those who fail to be capable of learning that alot of times the experience is all in the minority's head.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

'I come into this place to do a photo shoot and they got Ritz crackers and cheese.

'I'll be like, ain't this a b***h. Y'all didn't know black people was coming.'

Foxx sounds like a self indulgent jerk.

Often, when someone treats a Black person wrongly, in their eyes anyway, it's 'racism'. To a woman it's sexism, to a Muslim it's Islamophobia, to a Gay it's homophobia.

The fact is that people behave badly regularly, often without meaning to, or no harm was meant.

I'm a White guy and none of the above so when someone is rude to me I accept that the person is being rude to me. I have no fallback position that this person is being racist, sexist, or homophobic, it's just a rude person. That's life and we have to learn to deal with it, and not fall back on the cheapest possible ( and whiniest) explanations.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

I seriously wonder if some people here realize that Jamie Foxx is not the the spokesmen for all black people in America.

The non-existence of racism is unattainable because it exists only in a perfect world. So why not, at the very least, do what we can to minimize it?

People get killed every day, do we just sit back and say "oh well, people are getting murdered, that's just human nature, stop complaining"? No, we recognize that people will get killed by other people, but we do what we can to lessen it.

Sure, there are some times where I'm sure people perceive racism when it isn't racism. I don't think it's "a lot" of the time, though.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

lol nevermind, I'm getting confused

Yeah, that's called "white privilege" and the reality of racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of discrimination are not "cheapest, whiniest possible explanations." It's a reality you will rarely, if ever, have to wonder if someone is thinking less of you because of your race or have to wonder whether or not people are going to see your failure as a representation of all blacks or Muslims or Hispanics and so on. Be thankful for that instead of denigrating people who don't have that luxury.

Oh, that's understood. There is no White person who speaks for all White people either. Jerks come in all sizes, shapes and colors.

And there you have it. The leftwing hero is a bonafide modern day racist.

Did I miss something about where Jamie Foxx became a "leftwing hero?"
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

The definition of racism includes supremacy.

Do reply to the rest of it. I won't let up. I want that issue to be addressed, the one I made in the latter statement part.

As for your dodgy reply: Yes and No. Racism has become such a diluted term that it can mean anything you want it to mean. So I won't debate that with you. I will just say that when I think about it, from a logical standpoint, supremacism and racism are 2 different things and supremacism can be an ideology that can be racially based or not. Racism as I said, can be anything you want it to be because at this point, who the hell cares. It is a diluted term which carries only automaton emotions to the user and the victim who is accused of it. That is why there is a lot of controversy about it.

But back to the big idea.Reply to this, especially what is written in the last part.

Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

LOL at a white guy "expecting" non-white people to get over "it" because they aren't doing so quickly enough for him. Please stop talking.

They do need to get over it.

And there you have it. The leftwing hero is a bonafide modern day racist.

Spoken like someone who will never experience what it is to be oppressed, to see signs every day that society values you less. It is inescapable. It never goes away. Every black American experiences this, every Hispanic, every Jew, every Muslim, every atheist, every woman, every homosexual, every Indian (Hindu or American), every Asian, and everyone who isn't the supposed "default" heterosexual white Christian male in this country. It comes up literally every day of your life that society treats you as inferior.

You don't get it....

I as a white guy have to be color-blind. For if I am not, I am racist.
Jamie Fox does not have to be color blind. In fact, it is encouraged and accepted for him to take race into account in every single thing that he does.

My only point in this whole "race discussion" is that an honest discussion cannot be had if one side is too afraid to speak on the issue for being labeled a racist while the other controls the discussion.

No, you don't get it. You probably never will. And no, no one expects you to be color-blind. No one expects anyone to be color-blind. But you have the option not to be. Jamie Fox doesn't. And color-blindness isn't the issue. It's bigotry that is. It's viewing races as in competition with each other. It's assuming that a person's race necessarily affects their character, rather than understanding that character comes from background which is affected by the way we treat different races.

I'm not color-blind and no one has ever accused me of being racist.

Apparently so do you.

What's your real issue?
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

They do need to get over it.

And they will . . . as I said earlier, when enough people have enough sex with enough people . . . we will all end up looking like Filipinos, then we will only discriminate against lip size.

No no no. If A B C D E F and all those are true, then racism is part and parcel of human nature. If you diminish it, you diminish humanity because despite all the ideology in the world and in the most ideologically infused places, it still rises to the surface. It like a natural, normal response of human beings to have. Like all other natural responses to the environment. Like reaction to hunger, cold, hot, etc.

A) There are prominent blacks in all aspects of public life (government, congress, etc)
B) There are prominent blacks in all aspect of intellectual life (thomas sowell, Neil degrasse tyson, the most popular ones)
C) There are prominent blacks in sports (you name it)
D) There are prominent blacks in business (CEO of Mcdonalds and Xerox-> its even a black woman)
E) There are prominent blacks in showbis, the most liberal environemnt in the world.
F) Everywhere in general... you can find prominent blacks

Again. if all these are true... and they are... because they are facts... then there is no way around it. To be a racist is to be a human being and diminishing it will diminish you as a human being.

Or you can choose to accept that many of the ones who complain about racism are actually full of ****. Especially the big holywood stars and other prominent blacks.
