Only a black actor like Foxx can get away with making racist comments - and portray them as "marketing" - even if it works.
I saw it yeserday. It has its moments, but overall it's just not a good film. Lincoln... now, that's a great film.

I wonder what would happen if a white Hollywood star said something like "put them all on an island". People would be jumping out of their skin.
Ask Mel Gibson

Sorry, but if you find this insulting or racist you need to reset your sensitivity levels. As for whether or not Foxx is racist, who cares? He's an actor, not someone that I would encourage anyone to look up to as a role model.

~Posted by someone who is definitely not from the loony left, as you put it.
I haven't called Foxx racist - I described his comments as racist.

As for it being a joke, do you seriously think that it would be considered a joke if a white actor had said "I kill all the black people in the movie. How great is that?" ?

Read the quote by the author of the article at the end of my post and at the end of the article. That was my main point. We will all be less monstrous if we quit focusing on skin color and view each other as people.

Jamie Foxx doesn't seem to understand that.

If a white comedian said to kill all black people in the movie , the left would have that story for days on the air to brainwash the dems more.

Blacks do hate whites. Why do you think they keep holding on to their slave stories ? It breeds resentment and the Al Sharptons love it. As if this generation was the slave owners. I have no guilt and am tired of the race card being played while black folks can say that they want to kill all white folks.

Maybe it will be merged - I won't have a problem with that.

Hanson's article is thought provoking - and I wanted it to be front and center for at least a while.

OK. But, you prefaced the comment with an exhortation for me to not worry.

That was a bit pointed, and I didn't know what to make of it.

I still don't.
