'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

I have, many times. Both when I was still Jewish and later when I became an atheist.

Lucky for you, I say. But that doesn't diminish what others experience. Try to think about others besides yourself.

How did you get discriminated against because you were Jewish?
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

If two kids were to pursue the same path with the same resources, the black kid is more likely come across obstacles than the white kid. It sucks, and we need to do as much as we can to remove those obstacles, but that's unfortunately how it is, even 50 years after civil rights movements.


Because they don't. The system is already sort of fixed in favor of the straight, white, wealthy male.

Generally, a white person can willingly put themselves in a situation where they are victims of racial discrimination, but they can also willingly remove themselves from that. I don't fault them for that, nor blame them, that's sort of where "white guilt" comes from, which is something that's been fabricated by the left to deal with racism. However, I think it's important that white people understand that they have a certain privilege that other groups of people do not.

I haven't come across a situation in which a white person experiences racism for their entire life the way a black person might, can you give me an example so I understand?

Why can't you say the same thing but take out the white part?

Does a wealthy black male have less opportunity than a wealthy white male?

Sarcasm does not work well on the interwebs I see.

No, it doesn't work well and with some of the posts you read here you can easily understand why.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

You sound like such a racist.

What can I say? The white man is holding me down.

White people in Ireland were being persecuted by members of different race?

No, but psychologically it is the same thing. The Catholics are a repressed minority and experience or did experience much the same discrimination as blacks. It would have been a very relevant example. Granted one of the few, but a good one.

Well I was hoping to get an example that encompasses a larger area and certainly a longer time than that. I'm not so sure that compares to centuries of slavery and racial oppression worldwide.

Why can't you say the same thing but take out the white part?

He likely does.

I'm a White guy who has lived and worked in countries where I was in the steep minority but have never felt less than normal. Why should I? Even when I was treated differently that was up to the other person to feel that way, not me. There are ignorant people everywhere and if we are going to base are lives on what ignorant people think or say we'll never get any rest.
Good point.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

And some minorities like Vietnamese boat people come here and seem to be able to assimulate and build new lives from nothing.

That doesn't mean they've never been discriminated against.

Different ethnicity. Same thing.

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

Rather than call him racists, why not just say that he suffers from "white envy".. :)

Is it the consensus then that Black men suffer from White Envy and White men suffer from Penis Envy?
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

It's doubtful you'd let a white person be that sensitive. If you wouldn't, then he's racist.

What reason does a white male in our society have to be "sensitive about his race"? That is a racist attitude in that statement. In fact many of your posts exhibit racism.
Do you feel subjugated because we have a black President? It is not uncommon.

I wouldn't know about penis envy, I'm quite cumfortable in that regard. :)

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

I don't think that he's racist. Rather, I think that he is hypersensitive to how others see him in regards to race.

Remember, he's an actor, and while individual actors, directors, and producers may be racially enlightened, Hollywood as a whole still has problems in regards to race.

Especially when minority actors can get only certain kinds of roles, not necessarily because of the prejudices of Hollywood but rather the prejudices Hollywood thinks the rest of the country still has.

So no, I don't think he's racist at all.

He's just another up tight black dude looking for something complain about. The sooner we learn to ignore these clowns vice enabling their behavior the better off everyone will be.

Exactly. It just goes to show that Jimmy the Greek was right.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

Don't you think that black people have created their own culture..e.g. Smack my bitch up..Gangsta's...Rappers who are worshipped because they have been shot/stabbed/killed...

Is this all they can aspire to??

In a thread calling a black guy a racist then saying this sweeping generalization about all blacks... holy hell this is ... weird.

White guys do that too.

I think part of the problem in this thread is people misunderstand. Institutionalized racism is not so much a problem anymore. In fact I can go out on a limb here and say it is for the most part a non issue. However or society has a huge problem with racism on an individual level. This is the problem we are seeing more of today from every racial designation.

The media in all it's forms is a huge part of the problem. We have access to information instantly. Faster than any time before in human history. It makes things look much darker than they actually are. Many other reasons play into this as well. The aforementioned is just one example.

It seems to me as we advance in technology and continue to accelerate, we as a people seem to revert back to tight nit social constructs such as race for safety and security.

This is just my hypothesis, but I have a feeling it is probably not far from the truth.

"Racism" is inherent and part of the evolutionary process in which beneficial traits are preserved within a variety.

Google "racism in infants" for a shot of reality.

That is not racism, that is being familiar with one thing and a fear of the unknown in children. They are also afraid of the dark and many other things. Does this mean a fear of the dark is inherent and passed down via evolution as well? :lol: Where the hell are all the racist coming from?
