Jamie Foxx - Fool

[okgo]

I caught on the radio earlier that the above bloke, not really sure who he is? Seen him in a few st films..

Anyway he was presenting an awards show, and was yapping on about MJ as everyone is.. And then he came out with it "he was a BLACK, a BLACK man, we shared him with the world" And then went on about other st about how he was "a brother" ffs shut up man.

Why is it ok for a black man to say things like this, yet if a famous white person came out with the opposite "he was an amazing WHITE man, we shared him with the world, he was WHITE and ours" there would be outrage..

I guess this is just another case of the black man thinking the world/law is against him, and they are constantly persecuted in every aspect. ffs grow up you tt.

Saw a black girl on TV complimenting another 50 something black woman on her youthful for her age looks: "balck don't crack". And thought the same.
Absolutely sick of this st. If you want equality then start being equal FFS. At this rate there is going to be a massive backlash and we will be at square one again.

Same as black comedians. Been watching the Michael McIntyre comedy roadshow, of which he himself is by far the funniest comedian, and every coloured comedian does the racism joke. it's BORING.

very true, the lady on saturday was very funny moaning about her kids etc, but she lost the audience when she started on the race card.

heheh I thought of doing the same but didn't want to look "racialist"

[GTIR]

Yes I also saw the Macyntyre comedy show, very funny but that woman was just cringe worthy. I am sure 90% of the audience were just a little uncomfortable, "Ohh, a black racism joke, do I laugh or do I have to be black and if I laugh am I just showing myself up for being soft or if I dont laugh am I a racist, but it wasnt funny! What do I do?"

Rasism jokes went out with Richard Prior and Eddie get the scary spice outa here Murphy.

Jeez, was not long ago that we (as in non black) were not allowed to say the word "black" now we are not allowed to say the word "half cast".
Surley its the context in which its said?

Its a fking mess aint no mistake and 'ting.

Ive never had any problem with people using the word black. we see ourselves as black, and thus why should there be a problem.

now half-caste folk.... if they think im going to start saying "bi-racial" instead... they've got another thing coming lol.

well said that man!!

It has long been that way has it not?

And it goes a fair way to increasing racial tensions IMHO (for example MOBO etc).

Why oh why does it matter what colour someone's skin is? If they were a great musician, then they were. If they are a great athlete/pilot/footballer/tennis player or whatever, they are still the same whether they are black, white, orange, pink or blue!??!!?

As long as black people with media clout carrying on acting like this then it does matter what colour your skin is.

I know white people on the whole are far from innocent and there are many many racists out there, but for someone who is meant to be a role model (although by saying st like this he probably has his 'hood' going wild) to younger people spouting this st to the world, we are getting nowhere!

Its Positive discrimination which apparently is ok.

I saw this, this morning, what an utter cock bag.

[FoolOnTheHill]

I'd hate to half-caste mind, you're hated by both blacks and whites.

[CraigW]

I have to admit, when I saw Jamie Foxx saying all that I almost puked.

The mobo awards always made me feel the same way. If someone suggested holding a "music of white origin" awards ceremony there would be outrage.

Some of my black friends feel the same way so its not just me being racialistic!

I don't have any, but I am sure if I did then they would think the same. Or they wouldn't be my friends. Can't be doing with self appreciating tts, black white, foreign or otherwise.

[Dupont666]

if you can be bi-racial (presume that is the PC word now)

can you be tri-racial and quad-racial? (much like when us white folk say im half scottish, quarter welsh and quarter sheep)

Could this just open a can of worms when you call someone bi-racial and in fact they are tri?

In fact if someone is the mix of scottish, welsh and sheep, can they also be classed as tri-racial instead of just inbred, or will that offend the black folk that this PC wording has been created for?

Im all confused and need a lie down....
