Jamie Foxx - Blacks the most talented!

HTML5!

Professional idiot Jamie Foxx proclaims that black people are the most talented in the world. It's OK though, he's black!

The 45-year-old actor has enraged members of the public after stating that "black people are the most talented in the world."
The 'Django Unchained' star made the remark at the 44th annual NAACP Image Awards on February 1 after he won the Entertainer of the Year award.


"Black people are the most talented people in the world," he began his speech with.


"I, it’s, I can’t explain it. You can’t sit in this room and not watch Gladys Knight sing and go like, 'Golly, what in the world?'"


However, many conservative critics have interpreted the remark as a racist one, with writer Noel Sheppard describing it as "really stupid."


"Can you imagine the heat a white actor would get if he said at a nationally televised awards ceremony, 'White people are the most talented people in the world?' Probably be the end of his or her career," he wrote.
Speaking about his latest role in Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained,' Foxx yet again caused a bit of a stir when speaking about the racial elements of the movie and the fact that it focuses heavily on black slavery.


During an appearance on Saturday Night Live, Foxx joked that he plays a freed slave who kills "all the white people in the movie...How great is that?"


In another interview he said that "every single thing in my life is built around race," and added that black people are "always sensitive" about the issue.

Isn't he known for hating white people? I feel like he's said stuff like this before.

Going through his supremacist phase. Aaaaaahhhhhh, cheer up kid puberty is next

If his statement is true then he must be the exception to the rule given that the only time he is the best actor onscreen is when there's no one else with him.

Its ok he could come out tap dancing on a white baby wearing nothing but a "kill all the white scum" tshirt and nothing would happen

Equality ya know

So an actor made a joke in an SNL skit and expressed the opinion that black people are the most talented people in the world. Big fcuking deal. People are so sensitive about non-issues really.

Explains why white people spent years getting them to do all their stuff.

Eh no. Try actually reading what I posted.

the SNL thing was a joke (I hope). he is a gobsh1te though, he held up a lot of filming on set of Miami Vice and they had to move locations and reshoot stuff because of him and his diva behaviour.

It's true though. Would you really want to take on a black man in a singing contest, a sprinting race or a big willy comparrison?

Stereotypes are always true to the majority of which it applies. We're just not allowed say it because people hate to be faced with their inadequecies.

White people can't dance and Asians can't drive although they can calculate the cubic root of pi in their head.

Hispanics are good at growing drugs and Irish people drink a lot.

Black people are more talented. BOOM! there, I said it.

I agree. So what. Big fuss over nothing really

Hasn't he seen Django Unchained?

I wouldnt read much into it. It'd be like an Irish person claiming the Irish to having the best writers or musicians in the world. Its just showing pride in your culture rather than inciting hatred of anyone else.

No, there's quite a big difference.

It'd be more like Irish people saying to people from any other country, "We are more talented than you because we're Irish"

There's not been enough 'political correctness gone mad' on this thread for my liking.

Perhaps after generations of black people were treated as though they were worthless (apart from being a source of cheap/free labour), this black person feels well to look around at people such as Gladys Knight and feel immense pride at how far black people have come in establishing their social and cultural significance. How dare he.

Jamie Foxx for Pope!!

Christoph Waltz begs to differ.

What if a white entertainer came out and said "white people are the most talented" - Que shit-storm. No mention of him "being proud of his race" or what have you. Just blatant "racism"

I rest my case.

Jamie Foxx for coxx

For how many generations will people who had absolutely no connection to the horrible treatment of black people be expected to adhere to these double standards?

Blacks also have bigger cocks, its just not fair

He also bit a white baby in England.

Regardless of colour, Jamie Foxx is a dickhead. His opinion holds about as much weight as a floating shìte.

johnr1

Yes, and he came out with more racist sh1t at the premier of django a month or two ago.

He's a racist, which is why I didn't go to see django and won't.

Lol.
Once upon a time, some guy said 'black people are the most talented in the world', and his career didn't end as a result. It's soooo unfair.

If a white guy said that race stuff to you, I'd pity the fool…

Lol,

Once upon a time a white guy asked a question on an internet forum and didn't get a response...was it cos he was white?

Saw him on Johnathan Ross recently, humorous, modest, articulate and charming, he finished the interview by accompanying himself on piano whilst singing one of his own compositions in a beautifully textured voice redolent of Luther Vandross at his best.
I believe he's not too bad at the aul acting either.

So to answer your question: "Where was he when they were handing out the talent?"

Somewhere near the top of the queue.

In fairness you called him a "professional idiot" and people acting all outraged about a couple of comments that aren't all that offensive seems a little bit on the sensitive side.

I think he's a fantastic actor. Have you seen Ray?

With regards to the SNL skit, it's just the way that show is and at the end of the day, he was joking. One of the best skits on SNL I ever seen was when Eddie Murphy did one about how white people talk when black people are not around and how we get everything for free. As rare as hen's teeth and I wish I could find the damn thing.

Here it is the 'How black is that' for how ever long it remains up (tilt your monitors):

If that isn't racist then I don't know what is.

Good film alright. The scene where he comes into the town on horseback and the reactions of the towns folk when they see him on the horse is hilarious.

They had never seen an African American on a horse before apparently.

I thought it fair enough to assume it was rhetorical. If not, then it's a heavily loaded question that essentially asks the respondent to first submit to all the terms within, and then predict the future.

So what does that mean for black people who also left Africa? Are they white also?

He said this at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Image Awards. This is a non issue being blown out proportion.
