'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

The leftwing hero is a bonafide modern day racist.

You don't get to decide who is a leftwing hero. Mainly because you have no idea what you're talking about. Thanks.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

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 our 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.

Sorry for re-posting this. I want to see some reply's dammit.

I think you have two types of racists. First, you have the angry racist. This is your overt, KKK joining, militant racist. These are the easiest to point out, because when you're burning a cross in someone's front lawn, it's pretty obvious what you're about.

The second type of racist is more obscure, but there are a LOT more of them. This person believes, either wholly or partly, that one race is superior to another. One person might believe that whites are naturally more intelligent. Another might believe that blacks are better athletes. Some of these people speak their beliefs, others keep quiet.

These people are not necessarily militant or anything, but their beliefs are racist nonetheless. This is a much more deeply rooted problem, and frankly, I don't think it is one that will ever be solved no matter how much society evolves.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

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

I think this quote says it all

'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.'

In the same vein he explained that if he turned up to the photo shoot and there was fried chicken and watermelon, he would also be annoyed at the stereotype.
Jamie also admitted that he feels that he must act and talk in a certain way around white people and in his day-to-day job as an actor.

no matter what he is going to be annoyed/offended
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

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?

I think many things are inherent and passed down via evolution. fear of the dark and heights are classic examples. for our primitive ancestors, the dark held many dangers from nocturnal predators and falling from a tree put them at risk from ground based predators. as far as 'racism'..not really sure but the fear/distrust of others not like yourself could be evolutionary as well (a stranger could very well be a scout from a nearby tribe looking to take over your cave, etc)

not saying that makes it right/acceptable, but it does indicate that it could be understandable
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

So if a white person was having a party and there was for whatever reason watermelon or fried chicken present he would be annoyed? Lol, butthurt much?

apparently white people are not allowed to enjoy fried chicken or watermelon because that might offend some thin skinned douchebag. mother ****ers better stay away from my house most Sundays during the summer because chicken and watermelon are almost always on the menu.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

When I was young, TV programs like, All in the Family, made humor of racial stereotypes. The characters made it clear how silly everyone was being. For many years there was a sense of racial unity, at least where I lived. The division was more at the generation gap, not the racial gap. The young people started to get past all that.

Since that time, the PC sensitivity police regressed many groups back to hypersensitivity, while conditioning guilt and liability to a white male scapegoat group. There was a dual standard created, such that resentment began to divide balong the line of rational versus PC irrational.

Let me show you how the game works. Quotas, for example, use law to make choices based on race and sex. In the world of common sense and reason, this is called legalized racism and sexism. It makes choices based on race and sex, period. But based on the PC dual standard of irrationality, this is not called racist or sexist even if it does promote one race and sex over another by law.

The irrationality used to justify this irrationality, is the guilty white male has to accept responsiblity for all the past wrongs, even if they personally did nothing wrong. it is like the PC version of the guilt of original sin. This occurs at birth and does not wash off. You have to accept this primal guilt, for purely racial and sexist reasons, regardless of you personal culpability. One is being falsely accused, based on race and sex, and then told they are the accuser because of original sin. This sets the stage for resentment.

It is OK for Jammie Fox to make a racial joke. Funny is funny, so I don't mind. But it is not OK for a white guy to do the same thing. The dual standard creates a divide because only one group is accused, while the other gets a pass for the same thing. The PC fantasy world does not add up in rational reality and therefore creates misunderstanding.

The one being accused of racism is doing less than the group who claims victim status. The PC world is upside down. The black victim has been brain washed to think this not racist, therefore the reaction to the dual standard has to be personal because he is black. It has nothng to do wth the dual standard since in PC fantasy world, since PC says this is not dual.

Is there any question that the most racist race today in America is the black race?
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

Jeeze...a person of a certain group that has a long history of being mistreated in this country is more sensative about race than those in a group that haven't been? Stop the presses!!!

What's funny is that most of those who are the most sensitive are those who have never personally been mistreated. I am 1/2 native american...black folks don't have **** on me when it comes to a long history of being mistreated in this country, but you don't hear me bitching and moaning about it.

stop blaming what someone else's ancestors did to your ancestors in the past for your problems of today.

So racism doesn't exist? Stereotyping of certain races don't exist? I just want to see where you're coming from because this idea that we're one big happy melting pot is on it's face bull**** and based on studies bull****.

at the risk of being called a racist (yet again)...i will post this broad generalization: some black folks have a problem getting along with anyone. they don't like whitey, they don't like hispanics, they don't like asians...hell, half the time they don't even like other black folks.

Individuals of ALL races are racist.

There is VERY MINIMAL "institutionalized" racism in America. In select areas maybe, and even that is on its way to being phased out for sure.

I don't go around being bitter about **** that happened to the Irish in the past that I never experienced. Nor should blacks from my generation be bitter about **** that they never experienced either.

You will NEVER eliminate racism from all individuals.

Using the excuse that blacks were treated like absolute **** in the past to excuse a 25 year old whitey hating black kid is just not acceptable anymore. Im sick of the PC crowd acting like this is "OK". This attitude does NOTHING to help eliminate the remaining vestiges of racist thought and action. It breeds resentment, which breeds more racist individuals.

from my experience in the military...on a personal one on one basis people tend to be able to get along with each other, so in that sense we are one big happy melting pot. the problem comes from douchebag idiots from all sides who are ignorant and uninformed.

there are people I like and people I dislike for all races, colors and creeds. only the ignorant lump everyone of a particular race into one basket and try to stereotype them.

PC crowd? What does this have with the PC crowd? Where exactly did Jamie Foxx say he "hate's whitey"?

It seems like there's a lot of projection going on here. He stated he's sensitive to racism and you turn it into some post about him hating whitey.

How about you respond to everything instead of trying to completely ignore the point of my post?

Is Jaimie Fox 25 years old? No. He isn't. So I obviously wasn't referring to Jaimie Fox. I was answering your questions with my thoughts on the issue. Your questions were not "Jaimie Fox" specific now were they?

So when you get an answer to your questions that makes you cringe because You have no good response to it, you come at me like I am talking about Jaimie Fox in my response to a Non-Jaimie Fox related line of questioning.

Classic avoidance tactics.


Do you have any comments on my actual response or are you just going to deflect more?

Sure I would agree with you.

I would definately agree with you regarding military life. I'd like to point out that the military was active in reversing the imbalance created by segregation of the armed forces and racism.

My point was that I can understand how a black man is more sensitive to race than a white man.

I was responding to the op that posted Jamie Foxx's comment. I'm not going to argue against a case of a hypothetical "whitey hating" black male.

I specifically stated that I could understand how a black individual could be more sensitive to race than a white individuals which is exactly what I stated. That has nothing to do with someone that is black hating people of other races and attributing it to his past. It has everything to do with someone that's black recognizing racism or stereotyping easier than someone that's white.

Racism is Racism.

Regardless of who it is from or who it is against. One "direction" of racism between races is no worse than another "direction" of racism between races. Regardless of "history".

It is just as easy for a white person to recognize racism from another race towards them than it is for a black person to recognize racism from another race towards them.


Viewing racism as worse or "different" when applied to certain races is the reason why we have people who find it acceptable to walk around with the "victim" chip on their shoulder. Patronizing people with the "victim" chip on their shoulder is how we spread resentment..... and further, more individual racism.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

BTW....

A more on topic comment dealing with the stereotype bull**** from the OP...


Nobody has explained what the connection is with the Ritz crackers and cheese and black people and stereotypes........

Must bet a new one....... in an ever increasing field of taboo subjects or items around black people.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

My point was that I can understand how a black man is more sensitive to race than a white man.

and my point is that i can understand how a white man is put off over the black man's sensitivity about something that he had nothing to do with. tis a vicious circle. black man distrusts white man because of how some white man ancestors treated blacks in the past. white man is pissed at black man because black man distrusts him over something he personally had nothing to do with.


i just find it interesting that most native americans don't seem to have that same racial sensitivty and their ancestors were treated much worse than the blacks
