'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

So, I'm supposed to be insulted because someone cooks collards for me because I'm from the south?

No - NOT AT ALL. That's what I'm saying. If you are black, and somebody cooks collard greens for you, say, "Thank you!" Don't say "Dang, did you just do this because I am black?" Stop turning everything into race, because it's not all about race. We will never get over racism until both sides stop doing the stupid **** they do.

Well, I hate to tell you, but the minute a yankee makes fun of my accent I tell them they sound funny too, but I have enough manners not to bring it up.

No..i live in England..never heard of them..
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

They never integrated with us..we we opened armed..trying to make up for our crimes..don't know about you but I never had a black slave...

We open armed?

We enslaved them - and made it an American Past-time to devise a multitude of ways in which to treat them different, inferior, and low class.

But of course - come along a few rights movements and naturally they should be able to crawl out of the pit we dug for them all for the sake of a single thread for a rope.

How - on earth - does that make any sense? It's ignorance to say the least . . . it's called 'now wanting to admit we ****ed it all up from the beginning' - by pushing the blame of the crime OFF ON THE VICTIM.

I'd be a lot more impressed with all this wailing and gnashing of teeth if it wasn't all just advertising for his movie coming out. As soon as the movie bombs, there won't be another word about it.

The movie will serve to keep the blacks agitated and hating whites though, that will be very good for the liberals.

While watching this masterpiece, keep in mind that the United States actually had comparatively little to do with the slave trade. There were 12 million slaves brought to the New World, and America only received 600,000, only 5%. That is just about the same number of white men that died in the Civil War to free the slaves in the United States. The primary slave traders were the Hispanics (Spain) the portuguese and the French. It keeps the blacks much more agitated to pretend that evil, white America was the hub though.

So slavery finished around the 1865..how much longer will white people have to suffer their insufficiences...

They are greens. You cook them up with a little salt pork or bacon fat. The Africans cooked for us for generations. The European diet was quite bland. Africans taught us how to eat.

Rather, if that person doesn't experience racism on a daily ****ing basis, I almost cannot take their comments seriously.

What racism have you faced today?

It is like mustard or kale or I suppose loose-leaf cabbage, usually boiled in with some sort of pork fat.

I feel no guilt whatsoever. I have never enslaved a single person.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

Sorry, but you are not a victim. This post screams of people being victimized by the color of their skin. Come on. While I do understand that racism still happens, it's time to stop feeling like you are being victimized. Get down off the cross. I'm sure somebody else needs the wood.
I see what you're saying, but considering what I've experienced in my life, I can't let you define me. I'm not trying to be a martyr or anything, but I don't see why the "get over it" and "stop being a victim" logic is valid in any way.

That's silly. 1865 is just a number. Just because they became freedmen in 1865 doesn't mean that things automatically became sunshine and roses for them. Ever hear of something called the civil rights movement?

Unfortunately..any one who is white is a slave master...
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

It's easy for folks to say "why do you have to make everything about race" especially when the person saying that hasn't experienced racism. Rather, if that person doesn't experience racism on a daily ****ing basis, I almost cannot take their comments seriously.

Unfortunately, something that a lot of people don't understand is that simply having dark skin in our society automatically makes you a victim of racism. That's just how it is right now. So, it's sort of ridiculous that people want to dictate what Jamie Foxx should or should not be offended by.

And when did you ever experience sexism? No doubt you would be grossly offended by the living I make for myself because likely it greatly exceeds your own. I broke your glass ceiling.

LOL. Well we have a lot of blacks in this country who immigrated from Africa post civil war. They use the 'it's my skin color' cop out just like the rest.

I find it interesting that Asians and Hispanics do not. They work their brown little asses off.

People are disrespectful of others everyday for numerous reasons. It just seems like some blacks equate everything with race, when it might be because of nothing to do with the color of the person's skin.

Exactly, it would be even worse if I experienced sexism.

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

We have a load of Polish..Russian...Hungarian...blacks are so idle..it's a wonder they can drag their asses along..

It is still politically correct to be disrespectful of hillbillies, rednecks, and southerners.

Because you aren't a victim. You aren't a slave, and have no ties to slavery. How can you be a victim? I'm sorry if things have happened to you in your life, as a result of being a black person, but why do you need to let it affect who you are, or how you live your life? I have had a ****-load of bad things happen to me, but I'm not going to sit around, saying, "Oh woe is me. I've had it tough because of blah blah blah." I pull up my big-girl panties and keep on going. Do I like it? Heck no. Don't really know what can be done about it, though. It's just life, and it sucks, and then you die. I've had so many bad things happen to me that now when something happens, I just compartmentalize it and keep going.

I'm not being a callous, vile bitch as if it's all their fault and meanwhile all us white people are perfect - my nose can't possibly point that high.

Honestly - you think all white people figured out a high noble life and all the blackies live in the ghetto? Because that's what you seem to be thinking . . . seeing as how they're the only ones who are 'insufficient' in your eyes.

What the hell is wrong with you? Why can't you have a civil discussion about this without being nasty??

Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains why he is sensitive about being African American | Mail Online

'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains why he is sensitive about being African American.

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

I have worked with many blacks over the years. Several of them I call my friends. And those are the ones I can invite to my home without them coming in and saying things like 'I'm in the club now' or 'It sure is white in here.' You cannot save people from their own bad behaviors. I feel no obligation to entertain people who won't behave and who have no manners.
