SAD a white women is not one of them!

Just another form of sexism towards women from the left! Glad to know it is alive and well in America I wonder where it has been? This election year sure brought it out from hiding didn't it. Sad thing it never left it was just hiding and now it is ok to attack women again! Progress yep progress..

This girl will be messed up by the time she is 20, I would not blame Jamie Foxx though. Her Dad, Billy Ray is a weirdo who is more than willing to pimp his own daughter for money, I mean, those pictures of Dad and little girl for that magazine were borderline incest, Billy Ray is sick.

click on the link to see this outrageous Jamie Foxx...and where is the outcry to have him fired...or is it as he claims..allowed because he is a comedian?
Why did a white person got fired and was the outcry so loud and now you hardly hear anything...who else is sick of the double standards?

I'm sorry, but I thought it was rather mild. (Imus didn't bother me either). You can hear the same thing on almost any TV show (just not as blunt, and still not funny), but, in this day and age, celebrities (and elected officials) are fair game.

If you listen to his show and don't like it, then complain. If you don't listen,
just go sit in your pew in church and pray. As they said, they are all going to hell anyway.

Neither is a black woman, or man, or white man (white male here). I find jokes about all of them funny.

Why should I get mad about a joke on a white woman? If its funny and genuinely just a joke I see no problem with it.

I have laughed about jokes on white men, black men, white women, black women, indians (dot and feather), asians, mexicans, canadians, etc.

I just feel there are very few things that are off-limits (those would be disabilities, handicaps, whatever).

Someone making a snide comment about a teenager is not "robbing them of their innocence". That's ridiculous. You should be setting your kids up for the real world by the time they're in high school - ESPECIALLY if they are in the public eye.
AGAIN..................... this was not a private event....................

It was on the RADIO for MILLIONS to hear!!!!!

Ok it is not a SNIDE comment that would be more like ................ wow did you see what she had on today omg.................
NOT make A SEX TAPE.


BTW I have a teenager and a 20 something I know how it works thankyou very much. Obviously you dont know how tender a teenagers heart is and how damaging words like what Foxx said are! No matter the front they project to others!

Miley Cyrus is such an innocent little girl! This is what she said:

It’s my favorite show! I love it!” says 15-year-old Miley Cyrus, speaking of Sex and the City over spinach-artichoke dip in a dingy Toluca Lake restaurant that for some reason, possibly native to the San Fernando Valley, is divided between cheerful families enjoying Saturday lunches and a glum row of barflies passing time by watching I-don’t-know-what on ESPN Classic.

How is this left v. right?

It's just a comedian making a stupid joke... yet everyone rushes to pit left v. right, black v. white.

OH THE OUTRAGE!

Sorry, my heart was not "Tender" as a teen, I was taught to take care of myself if someone made fun of me. If your kids are that sensitive, you've got a problem on your hands. Kids in HS say things 10x worse to other kids in school. I raised my brother who just graduated and was very timid until we taught him how to stand up for himself, and it saved him a WORLLLDDD of pain - before then he would get upset, then he learned how to take charge of his own emotions and was a new freaking person.

BTW, it's not broadcast to MILLIONS! It's a pay service, that you also must authorize XL content on. So a teenager should not even be hearing it.

Spare me the false outrage.

I think most people are upset that he made these comments about a minor. Although I also think some of y'all are upset that he made inappropriate remarks about a white woman.

I don't know but to go as far as to say it's a women's lib thing is a bit much. And doggone it we let you vote and drive cars what more do you want?

But seriously I think sexism is a strong word. At the end of the day he said some things that weren't very nice. That's it. And I'm sure he may have done it for this reaction. Before the controversy I didn't know Jamie Foxx even had a radio show. Now I do and so do millions of other people.
