Not surprising when you have blacks keep the N word so much of so called art .

Bill Cosby once did an excellent speech on why blacks need to change from within.
I'll listen to Bill Cosby when you listen to Tim Wise.

Anyway, I'm not too worried about racism. If someone is racist to me, then I'll have no problem being racist in return.

The fact that people expect Obama, al or Jesse to speak up is beyond stupid and shows that most people are just clueless. Jamie is a comedian he's in the wrong but he gets money from conflict like Ann coulter.

First I was all: Jamie Foxx said WHAT?!?!?

Then I was all: Oh, his character in a movie.

I bet the OP thinks James Earl Jones is racist because he cut off Mark Hamill's hand with a light saber.

Much ado about nothing...
Hate to break it to you, but SNL hasn't been a comedy show for 25 years.

James Earl Jones was only the voice of Darth Vader. David Prowse was the white actor who cut off Hamill's hand. So there goes your inane theory.

Personally, it was the idiots in the audience who laughed wildly and applauded Foxx's "jokes" who I found more offensive. NYC Libs, such charmers!

I wonder what would have happened if Jamie Foxx was white and had said 'Killing All The Black People'
