I guess he has a right to voice his opinions, but his opinion is racist. He should have worded it differently if he was trying to instill pride in the group he categorizes himself with.

Racism is racism and I cannot condone any type. It keeps us from uniting and separates us from each other which is what it was attended to do.

I can say and mean it, Italian women are great lovers and we are, that is my opinion!

We can label almost anything racist if we so choose. We are such a sensitive people. It seems anything we don't want to hear these days, we label racist.

Chit happens people say things, rolls right off my back. More important things i beleive to worry about then this. What matters is how you feel and what you know to be true, in your soul.
Thank you. I share your sentiment.

Then again, maybe if we just treated each other as people instead of dividing up into groups, then Jamie Foxx wouldn't have any reason to be a racist. But when we have diversity shoved down our throats daily, this is what you get. But that is how the left controls their weak minded fools, make them all into victims by separating them.
LOL. Welker is not better than Johnson x2 or Fitzgerald. He's not better than Bryant, Cruz, Nicks, Jones, Roddy, or Thomas.

Exactly. If Matt Damon went out tomorrow at an all white country club event, and stated "white people are smarter than black people", that would be racist. And it would be exactly what Foxx did.

No. It's not exactly what Foxx did. It's not even in the same context.


Again. You people need to chill out.

Jamie Foxx is just a stunted dwarf emotionally who only sees things in race based terms. He's got issues and theres some frustration, resentment and feelings of inadequacy there from someplace.. I think he's re directing it as a way of lashing out.
He'll be fine as long as he has handlers looking out for him. But you're right, if a white person said that, the universal response would be " what an idiotic a hole..."

FACT: Jamie Foxx goes to a black event and says "black people are the most talented people in the world"
HYPOTHETICAL: Matt Damon goes to a white event and says "white people are the smartest people in the world"

The two are exactly equal....both are racist remarks. Period.

I'm just saying...
I think the NE Patriots only have 1 black on the offense.
