Yeah, I agree this is a pretty idiotic thing for Foxx to say. That said, if he had said "I love Ron Paul" like Kelly "I never heard of her before she 'endorsed' then Ron Paul the voted for Obama" Clarkson what would be the reaction? Why take any of these people seriously?

Is that Jamie Foxxx the stand up comedian/actor/singer/radio host? the same one who is about to open a new movie? This might have been done in jest or he is tying to get major publicity for himself and his movie.

Saying something like that about anyone is stupid.


Obama miracles:

Takes two taxpayers and a foreign lender and turns their money into a 1000 food stamps.

Uses the power of his words, to conjure a nobel prize.

Sends his drones from the sky, to raze the dead.

Exercises congress, and turns them into fiscal swine.

Leads the blind.

Calms hurricane Sandy. Well, that one didn't turn out so well.

In my view, this is a subtle philosophical expression of two things:

And

2. An extension of African paganism, where the "fathers" or leaders are worshipped as the gods of the tribe

I think you're probably right, which makes this all the more concerning. Look at the jump in support of gay marriage among black right after Obama's endorsement. (http://www.christianpost.com/news/polls-show-sudden-increase-in-black-support-for-gay-marriage-84738/) Regardless of what you think on that issue, for so many too unthinkingly switch their position just on a "Well Obama supports it and I support Obama" whim troubles me. And how do I know many have switched on a whim? Because, beyond the obvious answer that such a large swing so quickly doesn't fit the usual pattern, there's my own admittedly unscientific sampling. I was at a church dinner and this came up. Some quickly defended Obama based on a "He's looking at it as a civil right" defense. I replied "Oh really? So you think it's a civil right." Predictably the reply was "Well of course". So I asked "If you owned a wedding chapel would you let gays get married their"? Their reply "Well no. It's my business. I should be able to serve who I want". (I know I had them then). "But you don't think you should be able to deny a mixed race couple, and under the current civil rights act you couldn't." Their reply? "Well...yeah, but sexual orientation isn't part of the civil rights act is it?" My reply "Not yet. But would you support your congressman and or senators voting to amend the civil rights act to include sexual orientation?" Their reply..."Well...no. I guess I would tell them to oppose that." Me "So I guess you don't really think it is a civil right do you?" Them: "No....I guess not."

To me, this is just a recreation of ancient paganism. The ancients were hopeless statists who saw salvation through legislation, and they worshipped Caesar and Pharoah as gods and saviors.

Statism is a very ancient form of idolatry.

Barry Obama couldn't stand five minutes of the torture Christ endured. Also, Christ doesn't advocate for infanticide, or go about torturing people, drawing up kill lists to keep track of who to assassinate, or wage endless wars killing tens of thousands of innocent people either.

You should see the Chapelle Show racial draft. It's funny shit. Same theme. My perception is that minorities can have more fun with racial comedy than white people can. And my experience is that black people are indeed often more religious as a group than white people as group, as BlackTerrel said.

I'm also not convinced Foxx was serious, but good comedians soften shit up when they need to. If an audience unexpectedly boos you, you work with it. If an audience unexpectedly cheers you, you work with it. He might have expected laughter instead of cheers. Good comedians work with their audience as they travel around the country. The same jokes don't work everywhere, and if they're a big act, they don't always know that until they try it in front of a large group of people. Now, of course, he knows that joke wouldn't fly in some places, but I'm not sure he knew in that case.

But Obama bombing and assassinated US Citizens, innocent women, & children around the world or rushing his squad to get NDAA appeal overturned in the courts because Obama is secretly and unconstitutionally holding/imprisoning Americans around the world?

Au contraire, mon ami. To people such as us, I agree - mere entertainers good for nothing more than momentary diversion... sort of like low-cost prostitutes for the mind. However, to the nearly endless hordes of intellectually and morally bereft humanity, they are as gods and saviors - oracles of limitless vision and unquestionable truth, worthy of blind faith, and whose words have in the past given rise to social movement no rational man would think possible. Make no mistake about this. When one bears in mind the fact that the power of belief can make nearly anything possible, particularly in the world of politics, it becomes alarmingly clear, in point of fact, just how dangerous are the mindless curs like Foxx.

You miss the point. It may not be Jamie Foxx that has the ear of anyone you know, but perhaps another of these mindless twits. The fact is that there are large numbers of people who take what these nitwits say seriously. OTOH, you may have a point in that such stupid people would perhaps take seriously the words of even a Republican if he happens to be saying the things that he wants to hear.

Humans.

But I will stand by one thing: I would bet money I do not have that if I were given all the access needed, I could seat Foxx in the Oval Office. Where politics are concerned, enough money, smoke, mirrors, and outright lies can make anything happen. Those things put Il Douche in office, for heaven's sake.

Guess you didn't see his little spiel on SNL then. I'll post the transcript so you can read it:

JAMIE FOXX: "My name is Jamie Foxx. Give it up, give it up, New York City, Saturday Night Live. Come on, make some noise, man. New York City, New York City, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, it’s crazy. I’m black, and I’m dressed all black cause it’s good to be black. Black is the new white. I’m telling you, how black is this right here? Nice fly, I’m saying. You know how I know black is in right now? Cause the Nets moved to Brooklyn. How black is that? They got black jerseys, black court. I mean, how black is that? And Jay-z is the owner, a rapper. How black is that? And Jay-z only own about this much of the team. But he act like he own all of New York. How black is that?

And I got a movie coming out, "Django," check it out. Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson. “Django Unchained” I play a slave. How black is that? And in the movie I had to wear chains. How whack is that? But don't be worried about it because I get out the chains, I get free, I save my wife, and I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that? And how black is that?

But I'm going to tell you right now, speaking of blackness, my President, President Obama is back up in the White House four more years. How black is that? And not only that, he’s so black, he was playing basketball during the Election Day. How black is that? But he was also late for his acceptance speech. Okay, all the white people, this is your turn - how black is that?

But he going to be extra black this next four years. He going to get everything black, and white people, don't get nervous about that because he is mixed. Now the first four years was the white side of him, because I don't know if you saw him on Ellen when he was dancing and everything. I don't know what this is. That wasn't President Obama, that was President Barry Gibb Obama. But the next four years he's even changing his name from to President Barack Dikembe Mutombo Tupac Mandela Hussein Obama X. How black is that? And the next time you see him dancing on Ellen, he gonna be dancing like this."

And yes the movie is about white people and black people teaming up to kill slave owners. So it only divides us among those who own slaves and those who don't.

More than a year ago there was a long Alex Jones inspired thread about how the movie Machete was going to cause a race war. I told everyone to chill the fuck out. A bunch of people argued with me that a race war was coming soon.

Guess what? No race war. I'm watching Monday Night Football at my place with a mixed crowd of Asians, Indians and white people and no shots have been fired yet.

No, I am not going to calm down! You do not realize you are a slave? Just because you do not have physical chains doesn't me you are free.

You must be in college. ;) And people are starting to think you're black.

Reading that whole transcript donnay, it actually sounds less offensive than the video I saw.

I do think it sounds like Foxx is getting a little close to the edge if he wants to keep pushing it. I'd much rather hear Tracy Morgan rail on white people. Foxx was funny on In Living Color, but most of those guys have been making fun of race for 20 years or so.

And yeah, I agree, donnay, that there's a double standard. They're everywhere... even in 2 people relationships.

I think some people here would be less outraged if white comedians were given a free pass to say the same about black people.

All in all, he's just a comedian who jokes about race as many comedians tend to do. There's really nothing to get outraged about and I highly doubt Jamie Foxx is a racist. As for his comments about Obama, I don't know the man's politics and he may have been using hyperbole, but chances are he was just speaking to the demographics.

Do you really think anyone is going to be hurt by Jamie Foxx saying something on Saturday Night Live? Really?

I find it hard to believe that you actually think this.

I noticed you ignored my slave remark--most people don't like to think of themselves as slaves. And those who go around puffing out their chest, like Jamie Foxx does, never had to endure what his ancestors had to endure.

And that's the key. We're not free unless criticism is open for all, and it's not.

Because I didn't even know where to start with it. No I'm not a slave. Is that even a debate?

Duh. His ancestors lives sucked and Jamie Foxx's life is likely quite awesome. Is that in dispute?

Give me a call before [the race war] starts.

Scoff if you want, but I pay careful attention to what people say and do - I examine the apparent thinking that underlies their statements. Relations are not getting better between groups, but worse. Those being robbed are tired of it. Those who benefit from the theft are ever more strident in their evolving demands for more of what YOU earned. How, precisely, do you expect this to turn out?

Do you think the looters will by some miracle snap to their senses, see the errors of their ways and resign themselves to earning their own bread? Or perhaps you feel a great wave of middle-class guilt shall sweep away all "selfishness" such that those who earn will feel compelled to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their disadvantaged brethren?

The economy is being pile-driven into the dust. What sunny end do you envision such that the milk and honey will be squirting out of the trees and from the ground as if from greatly overladen breasts? I do not see it. I see want growing and if it continues past some point people are not going to simply lay down and die. If the government fails to provide for the looters, is it your contention that they will just wait around in their Section * apartments for the Reaper to come for them? Do you think that scared and hungry people seeing no relief in sight and bearing the mindsets to which we daily bear witness are going to retain what marginal civility they may ever have possessed? I don't see any of it, especially from those who feel entitled to free everything. I grew up in the midst of such people and I know how they think and I know they have little to no self-control and when the tits dry up they are likely to go completely apey. If the lines split racially, I doubt the parties in question will be very amenable to a pow-wow, especially when you include all the decades of smoldering resentments that have built up and continue to build.

The Serbs and Croats have hated each other for over 1000 years. Tito came in as the strong-man and kept them civil for several decades such that there was no outward indication that the old hatreds had survived. Then he was gone and look what happened: the old foes took right up whence they left off and if the threat of NATO action did not hang over them in substitution for the old Tito, they would be murdering each other even now and unto their mutual destruction.

Seriously, what do you think is going to happen here? I would very much like to see what you see.

The gov ARE the looters. The people they share loot with will be the last victims in some sense, because they are the ones who will be left high and dry. The real looters will roll off with plenty of loot when shit finally breaks down.

Have you accepted Robert Griffin III as your lord and savior?

RGIII may be a Redskin, but after his debut performance in New Orleans, he might as well be a saint.

'I kill white people': Dozens of racial slurs, attack dogs and murder in cotton fields in Quentin Tarantino film criticized as excessive

Django Unchained set in pre-Civil War Texas and pits a former slave against his tormentors when he becomes a bounty hunter
Early reviews of the film claim the n-word is used frequently by black and white characters, but the level of violence is even more disturbing
Not the first time that Tarantino has gotten in trouble for use of racial slur
In his 1997 film Jackie Brown, the n-word was used 38 times

By Meghan Keneally (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2247077/Django-Unchained-Dozens-racial-slurs-attack-dogs-murder-cotton-fields-Quentin-Tarantino-film-criticized-excessive.html)

Quentin Tarantino is known for walking a risky line in dealing with race in his films, and completely flies past it when it comes to the use of violence.

His latest film, called Django Unchained, is no different and the setting of the slave-filled American south in the years prior to the Civil War has many crying foul at his use of racial slurs.

This is not the first time that Tarantino has been criticized for his use of the n-word, as Spike Lee took issue with its use in the 1997 film Jackie Brown where the controversial director allowed it to be used 38 times.

The latest film, which will open on Christmas Day, focuses on the partnership between a former slave who becomes a bounty hunter who enjoys killing white people in his pursuit for his captured wife.

You're forgetting that after Inglorious Basterds came out Germans and Jews starting killing each other left and right.

The same will happen here as whites and blacks will begin an all out race war. I am hoping Tiger Woods will be on our side.

Not because we didnt see any violence after Inglorious bastard doesn't mean he wasn't flaming the racial fire between Jews and their supporters and Germans. The one thing you can expect with QT movies is that he is always going to find a way to poke at the wound between racial groups and I do not like it.

For the record, Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movie even though I have to fast forward certain parts of the movie.
