An Open Letter to Jamie Foxx Explaining Why Black Pride Is Just As Evil As White Pride
Dear Jamie Foxx,
For years I’ve anticipated Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Django Unchained. The story of a Civil War-era bounty hunter teaming with a slave to liberate his wife from a plantation owner reverberated with me at a personal level, as I am a member of a mixed-race family. I couldn’t wait to have another fantasy-revenge experience on par with Inglourious Basterds. As the Jews, Americans, and Brits united together to crush Nazi slavery in an over-the-top explosion of cinematic violence, Django Unchained promised to celebrate how blacks and whites united to overcome Confederate slavery and rebuild America together.
But now you’ve ruined the film. I can no longer go and pay money to see a picture knowing that its own star so thoroughly rejects the film’s message of interracial unity.
Of course the anticipated criticism of your opening remarks focuses on the viciousness of the “kill all the white people in the movie” joke. But that was not the truly sinister racial evil you promoted.
Lost in the shuffle? Your racist claim that darker skin and “African” sounding names should correlate with a tough, violent, criminal masculinity.
You told America from Saturday Night Live‘s platform in no uncertain terms that the Angry Black Man stereotype isn’t just real, but the desirable, natural state of blackness — and something you hoped our president would achieve this term.
When racist whites try and argue that blacks are inherently more primitive and violent, we label them crackpots and dismiss them from civil society. Yet when you want to insist the same thing, we applaud.
It’s not the fact of your racism that bothers me. It’s the real-world consequences of what happens as your poison filters out into the culture and confused young boys (many lacking fathers in the home to model real masculinity) drink it up.
Who killed Biggie and Tupac? What rap fantasies of black manhood flowed through Trayvon Martin’s head as he broke George Zimmerman’s nose? How many young black men would still live today if they didn’t have people like you preaching to them that to be an authentic black man one must wage a criminal war against a weak, corrupt, irredeemably racist white society?
Sincerely,
David Swindle, a future-father one day of sons and daughters who will be neither “black” nor “white” and will look back on this era’s racist popular culture with shock and disgust…

Sorry, I dug down as deep as I could but try as I might I just couldn’t find a shred of white guilt in me.
On the other hand, I DID recall this particular quote that seems to ring quite true when analyzing the good Mr. Foxx.
“Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate — and quickly.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
In Foxx’s mind, he does not see the villainy in his own views about race, and such views WILL ‘bleed’ (literally) into the mainstream and be embraced by the wannabe thugs. It excuses their hatred and rationalizes their behavior towards those of the caucasion persuasion.
Of course, given the number of people carrying concealed these days (example: Zimmermann), such an aggressively violent attitude towards someone based only on the color of their skin can be quite hazardous to one’s health….
I expect the usual handwringing while Darwin sorts things out as thugs try to emulate this attitude.
On a more personal note, Foxx can ki$$ my lily white a$$.
I had no intention of seeing this particular movie, but it wouldn’t have stopped me watching other films he was in (as I have done in the past – “Booty Call” was hilarious).
Now? Not gonna happen again in this lifetime.
The American black is no different than the Palestinian in Israel; While many are muslim, and to be extended the same amount of trust.
Having Obama as President with a Congressional Black Caucus is like having Abbas in the Knesset with a Palestinian Caucus.
Hmmm….I wonder how well this would have gone over if it had been maybe conservative Dennis Miller doing the skit and instead of “how black is that” it had been “how white is that” while talking proudly about killing all of the black people?
Heh;
Are we all agreed that Jamie Foxx is very likely mentally ill – and has been since he won the Oscar — and you can pretty much tell that by looking at him, like you can with Alec Baldwin?
jamie foxx is the new black, that’s what
I didn’t see The Avengers because of Samuel L. Jackson. I won’t see anything with Jamie Foxx in it.
Make a point to see The Avengers. There’s enough stealth conservatism in it that you’ll enjoy it. I’m going to have a longer piece about it soon.
Sorry, Dave………OVERT, no more ‘stealth’……..especially if it puts NICKEL one into the pockets of anti-American, anti-white racist POS’s like Freeman and Foxx……
Merry Christmas!!!
I watched it in spite of Jackson being in it. Pretty good flick, and if you deleted the scenes Jackson is in you’d probably actually improve the movie.
– the audience applauded him.
Keep in mind who watched the current SNL. No one with an IQ over 60 most likely.
or an age over 29…
My first thought actually, in seeing this headline, was “SNL is still on the air?”
They stopped being funny a long time ago.
Add me to the list of those quietly avoiding loudmouths like … Jamie Foxx. And others of his ilk, if not neccessarily his color. How marvelous and ironic it is, now that thugs of color are confirming every stereotype that the KKK ever held about them. There are no chains quite so binding as the ones that we put on, ourselves. Embrace the chains of bigotry, Jamie – you are bound with them, and you put them on your very own self.
Now I know what a donkey looks like compressed between two panes of bullet proof glass to about a foot.
I started watching SNL Saturday night and the opening skit portraying Obama and Boehner was pathetically bad. Then when Jamie Foxx came on I found ZERO humor in any of his monologue. I heard about enough when he started talking about Obama and this term as an “all black president” this time. That’s when I turn off SNL. The days of Belushi, Radner, and Martin Short will never return. SNL is a pathetic liberal display and it will never have the viewership it had in its heyday. And as for Jamie Foxx, it might have been slightly humorous if it wasn’t so apparent what a deranged racist liberal he is. I believe the audience was even shocked at some of what he said. As far as I could tell, the laughter was subdued and muted. I, for one, never planned on seeing the movie for the simple fact the Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel Jackson are also in it. What trash!
Couldn’t have said it better. SNL has no creativity and is very seldom funny. I rarely get passed the opening skit. I guess I keep hoping for naught.
I stopped watching SNL in the 1980s; it stopped being funny when Dan Akroyd and Gilda Radner left. This report of Jamie Foxx’s ‘black’ rant has completely turned me off of him. I used to appreciate his piano playing, but that is not enough for me to excuse his latest excesses in driving a wedge between blacks and whites.
thank you for making my heart smile and my soul SING…BOYCOTT PEOPLE!!! BOYCOTT BOYCOTT dont EVER pay ur $ for this horrible Hollywood stars white black WHATEVER
Leonardo Di Caprio? did he ever apologize for inspiring more than 55 school shootings since he made the trash The Basketball Diaries? yes, he was young but LATER he could’ve at least try to produce something to reverse the damage! no instead he made more bias films playing the race card and the vicitm card NTM trashing the US..he also donated money to the cause of insane “Grizzly Man” Timothy Treadwell, who got himself and a girl killed by the bears, and got 2 bears killed; two old grizzlies who lived in peace before he went and bothered them…Leonardo makes movies about liberal lies mostly and we all now what a rude, crass racist Samuel Jackson is…i hope one day they go BROKE! if ObamahowheCares does its trick! they got their demagogue dictator in the White House, ok! do NOT give ONE penny not 1!
and i’m not even white or born in the USA! but i hate what they’re doing to their country that made them and gave them everything they have..UGH .
IMPEACH OBAMA
This movie releases on Christmas Day, I suggest White European Americans to be mindful of amped up violence prone low IQ black mobs coming out of theaters full of similar people every hour…..hopped up on kill whitey for slavery and oppression revenge fantasies.
Hate crimes against White Europeans will spike, just like they do every year during Black History month, only worse.
Read White Girl Bleed Alot
http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/
White Europeans need to organize to protect themselves from the Black Klan that is the majority mindset of African Americans (amongst other hostiles)
Stay safe this Christmas, avoid movie theaters and heavily black areas, shopping or otherwise….especially movie theaters in heavily black areas.
To my mind Christmas day, like Thanksgiving, is a big family (& friends) day in which they are the focus. There are other days to go shopping & to the movies.
The movie will be in the theaters for a few weeks. I wouldnt go see any movie during that time period. And maintain extra careful vigilance to avoid crowds of blacks during that time.
I feel likewise.
The Christmas season is when I take my family to see relatives, enjoy great food, and exchange gifts for the little ones.
Then we indulge in that singularly enjoyable activity….
We hit the back acreage and begin blasting away with various small arms at overtly aggressive tin can and paper plate targets that clearly have it coming, teach the younger ones proper firearms handling and shooting, and generally have a blast (pun intended).
Not a good time or place for a zombie – and keep in mind we have to actually transport the weapons and ammunition to said location in the first place so it’s not like we’re unarmed as we hit the road.
But hey, that’s just us in the South. No idea what the rest of you guys do.
But – but we Jews have to fulfill the ancient mitzvah of going to the movies on Christmas Day!
Fortunately, I don’t expect any howling insurrectionist mobs to be coming out of “Les Miserables”; they’ll all be up there on the screen where they belong.
And about that movie . . . .
While I’m mindful of the fact that it is a Tarantino movie, the history geek in me is having a very hard time with it.
“Django Unchained” looks like a western but is supposed to be set in the South. Since “Django” (and why does a 19th-century black American slave have a southeastern European gypsy name?) is a slave, the setting must be the antebellum South. So why is he dressed like one of the Village People? And why the dude-ranch cowboy hat? And the cartridge-fed revolvers in the age of ball-and-cap?
Ahh . . . and DiCaprio as an EVIL WHITE GUY. That is such an old and stupid “white-actor-does-penance-for-white-people” trope, that it is laughable. I remember the mini-series “Roots” where white actors were falling all over themselves to play the bad slavery-loving white folks.
it is sickening…my ears perked up when i heard Django, a name i knew since i was little since there was a famous singer in Spain who was a heartthrob, you know, troubadour, as many other singers from Spain, all with one name monikers like Raphael, in South America we had “Sandro”, Sabu, etc they were all cute in a 70′s style “Elvis” i asked myself why was Tarantino picking that name…i didn’t do the research as i hate Tarantino except i did like Kill Bill…the 1st..we all like revenge films and that was cool…but that was pre-9-11…BC-WI (before celebs went insane) and the reason they did was because for the 1st time in their lifetime a US pres was more important than them: due to 9-11…their stupid lives went irrelevant!
Snicker…..just wait – there will be a whole bunch of babies of a certain ethnic subculture in this country that are going to come into this world and be slapped with the ‘african’ name of Django out of some sort of misplaced sense of racial pride.
Did you ever see the movie “Mandingo?” The best part is when Mandingo say’s “I ain’t get-tin in no pot Mass a!” But he do!
To paraphrase the Honorable Reverend Wright…..”I am sick and tired of , that are down with the struggele”.
Funny how this black punk owes his whole existence to progressive whites in Hollyweird. More to the point, blacks are feeling more and more like they now own America and are free to say and do as they please. They have the white progs and LSM to protect and excuse them.
I do not see this ending well for America. We do have to split from them: We need to divide the nation into two sub-nations much like Yugoslavia. If anyone can think of any reasons why we-white Americans-should live like this and not fight for our culture, race, ethnicity and nation, I would be open to your comments.
The President and his comrads have been conducting a campaign of race baiting and class envy since their first days in the White House, to what possible end other than the destruction of this country as we have known it and the establishment of a marxist state in its place? It is a project with which his cadre in entertainment and most of the news industry are in lock step. A monkey struts and preens on a stage, drunk with hubris, and boasts of killing all the whites, while the white castrati in the audience and on the stage behind him laugh at his gibberish as if it were comedy. Meanwhile, where I live in the land of white men, people are talking about what is going on in the country, and there is general agreement that there is an evil wind blowing and it’s time to prepare for something bad (I am using the understated language of white men). So they are arming themselves as never before, preparing for Armageddon. And then some fool, somewhere, drunk on Jamie Foxx’s movie, or high on the President’s koolaid, will light a match. What ensues will not be a Tea Party. The question is how far will it spread once it starts? And the worst thing of all about it is: that is part of the President’s race baiting strategy, for he is not one to let a crisis go to waste.
Which side is my interracial family supposed to go on? Did you miss where the headline says that your white pride is just as evil as black pride?
If you are white and your wife is black then blacks will see you as a rapin’ white man and your black wife as a race traitor they will deal with you accordingly.
If you are black and your wife is white then you will be considered a black man hero who has put the black vengeance on whitey by sleeping with a white woman and right in whitey’s face! Most black males see taking a white woman as something to smear white peoples nose in, a coup, an award. An I’m F**kin whitey’s woman and getting away with it.
I had a conversation once with a black woman whose son was marrying a white girls, she said she did not want any goddamn whites in her family. She emphatically stated she did NOT want any grandchildren who were half breed crackers.
I see people like the nephew who has a step-daughter who is black from his wife’s first marriage he loves and treats her as his own blood as do his family and extended family (Us). Doesn’t matter the step-daughter still hates all whites even though her mother is white, even though her family accepts her as one of their own.
You can take which ever side you wish but be advised people, Marrying outside your race does not make you a BFF with the other race.
My rules are simple, peace no matter what your race or skin color BUT if you want to fight I will defend myself to the fullest extent of the law and I won’t care what race or skin color you are.
Good Luck Dave, sincerely and I hope you and yours will be safe and have a happy holiday period.
Thanks for the warm wishes, Hep-T. You too have a lovely holiday season.
Hate is a powerful emotion easily spread among ignorant people. This kind of conversation is so harmful to all of us and our country. Shame on all of you who promote it. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
I have done nothing wrong. To ignore evil — as you advise here — is wrong.
Soooo…..let me get this straight.
Listening to some black racist applaud the idea of murdering white people is not supposed to result in any kind of negative reaction from me?
Time for you to put down the pipe and stop singing kumbaya…
As a European Jew who survived the Holocaust famously said, “when people say they want to kill you, believe them.”
It is pretty clear that many black Americans harbor fantasies of “killing all the white people.”
Empowering people that hate you at this level, isnt going to endear them to you, but rather put you and yours at risk. Just ask the Israeli Jews.
Is this guy talking this way because that’s just that way he is or as a reaction to Obama and the Progressives making racial identity the foundation of their political and governing strategy? One way to get someone to hate you is for you to openly hate them, blame them for things they didn’t do and try to scam them out of their property and livelihood.
I am white but have a Spanish surname based on European Spanish descent. I don’t know what to do either when some here in CA unfurl the Mexican flag, protest for more benefits, demand amnesty and claim that the Southwest was stolen from them. Even though I am associated with them by virtue of my name, I am learning to dislike them all immensely.
Dave, some things cannot be known, because they depend entirely on circumstance. A year or two from now, we may all be living in bliss. Trends can be seen and measured, but circumstance cannot. Trust in fate but foster good will among your neighbors.
YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! and i’m technically Hispanic! (half Italian) i despise their racism and victim card and rudeness (as well as the Latin crap of the same name!) so i’ll JOIN YOU since i like WHITES better HOW’S THAT? you’re NOT gonna force ME to LIKE YOU Jamie, Samuel Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Obama …the blacks i like are conservatives! so THERE i SAID IT! from Larry Elder to Condie Rice, to Rubio and Ted Cruz and Allen West…the blacks and Hispanic racists make me sick! and wait till you see a video i’m making and i will expose the racism INSIDE Latin countries! against people who are not even black just as long as they have a TINGE of color in their skin! wham! they’ll show you, so for them to be with the libs, their racism shows all over, just as long as they are crass libs!..

Keep in mind that violent crimes are mostly committed by males and that they are (violent crimes being a young man’s offense) overwhelmingly committed by 15-35 year olds.
Read the statistics. Calculate. Draw your own conclusions because I’ve been watching this from the 1970′s and am speechless.. Instruct me where I’ve gone off tract.
I think Mr. Foxx just undermined the potential success of this movie. PR for the movie based on ugly racism is not a good approach.
A 72 percent out-of-wedlock birth rate. How black is that? Highest incarceration rate of any group in America. How black is that? 48 percent high school dropout rate among males. How black is that? Seven times more likely to commit murder. How black is that?
Seems Jamie forgot a few.
Blaming all of the above on White people. How black is that?
It is only in the black community that blacks suppress blacks more than whites suppress blacks. If they wish to be separate that is their business. So much for integration of our society.
It is kind of ironic that the Republicans in the south passed all the bills for integration that were opposed by the southern Democrats. Now that the Democratic party has gone off of the leftist cliff, who will they kick in the teeth next?
Historically, most every leftist organization that has come into power has turned on the people that got them into power.
Correction – Black teenage pregancy has decreased 48% which is why i posted here my belief that black women will eventually be the ones who advance rhemselves and their children to be economically and professionally successfull.
THANK YOU exactly right! they’re trule a pathetic group the back celebs who loooove Obama, they r as racists,,hey as Dream from my father…”that’s how white folks will do ya” Obummer’s own words..UGH prepare people u took enough! boyyyycooootttt
“Black is the new white,”
—-
Now I’ve heard everything.
Does that mean White is better? Isn’t that, you know, racist?
They are still about 15% of the population and they don’t own any weapon or ammo factories. I met someone in Virginia who had that kind of mentality. It is going to be a rude awakening for those who follow that kind of “leader.”
Hey Jamie, I played cowboys and Indians once too. You know, make believe with toy guns and nobody really got hurt. You know, just like you do. Of course there was no camera and I didn’t get a million dollars for it. I was about six years old but I grew up. Why can’t you?
I’m as fast at the outrage over double standards as anyone, but this is the guy who imbued Hilton Paris with a weird sense of gravitas while playing her in whiteface and who is primarily making fun of Jay-Z, “black time,” and a moment that brought all Americans together regardless of political persuasion or skin color: the realization that Obama dances the way we might imagine Ross Perot dancing.
I’m more astonished that anyone thinks it’s a hip idea to remake Mandingo, that shockingly popular bestseller by a creepy Austrian poodle trainer about slave owners experimenting with breeding perfect blacks. Am I the only person who finds it unbelievably disturbing to resurrect this book, which was the doppleganger of To Kill a Mockingbird, creased pages and all on every bedstand in America?
Foxx recently called Obama ‘Lord and Savior.’ That was criticized as creepy and repulsive. Maybe his new creepy and repulsive statement about having fun killing white people in movies is a reaction to being criticized or maybe these statements reveal a deep pathology. Isn’t it odd that ‘comedians’ often turn out to be humorless jerks as they get older?
…or maybe, just maybe, he always carried this germ inside of himself and the ooze is just now escaping the cracks…….
oh, haven’t done any research, but i remember Mandingo, also a word used to called the “devil” in South America, but i cannot believe it’s that book, surely knowing Tarantino “loosely based” AS EVERYTHING IS IN HOLLYWOOD…but not surprise…that Tarantino is a psycho and obviously he was running out of ideas and hits…i hope this one FLOPS with a huge THUD as most films will outside of Lincoln, and to pay Hollywood back…they wanted Obama, they spent lots for him, they got him, now lets make sure they don’t take a PENNY from US PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And some wonder why gun sales are so high. Not everyone in America wants to be a gangsta, be around them or listen to their whiny, trash talk. Mr. Foxx sounds like someone described in “White Liberals and Black Rednecks”. But then reading is such a white thing.
It is past time for the black church ,to start teaching that black racism is sin!
Do you deliver dry ice to Hell, too?
Would a Black minister who effectively, without drawing controversy, preaches against Black Racism make the news?
So how would you know when it happens?
It if bleeds, it leads.
If they hate, they rate.
BINGO!!!

“I can no longer go and pay money to see a picture knowing that its own star so thoroughly rejects the film’s message of interracial unity.”
Hahaha you think this is the message? Have you been reading interviews with Quentin Tarantino regarding this film? He mocks roots because there wasn’t enough black on white crime in the film. You can see that here: http://www.seattlepi.com/entertainment/tv/tvguide/article/Quentin-Tarantino-Hollywood-Didn-t-Want-to-Deal-4105524.php .
“In fact, Tarantino and Hudlin both go as far as to call the film “bulls—” for one of its final scenes, in which the character Chicken George is given the opportunity to beat his master and declines. Spoiler alert: a similar scenario is presented in Django Unchained and has a much different outcome. “No way he becomes the bigger man at that moment,” Tarantino said. “Anyone knows that would never happen in that situation. And in Django Unchained we make that clear.”
”
I hate to say it but he is part of the problem too maybe worse then FOXX. This movie will take a dump all over white people and if you think about it for a second, that was the point of Inglorious Basterds as well. Don’t pay for his films. He’s an unapologetic, big headed hack who think he is saving the world and fighting racism by making anti-white films.
I have enjoyed Tarantino films for a while now – as well as Robert Rodriguez’s work.
Rodriguez lost me as a customer with the movie “Machete” (spoiler alert – only bad guys in the flick were all blue eyed). I’ll not see another one of his movies after that.
Likewise with Tarantino and this hot mess he’s peddling.
Too bad, as my guilty pleasure (well, one of them…) is horror flicks and I really enjoyed “From Dusk Til Dawn”….
From Dusk Till Dawn is a great horror movie.
I am especially fond of Salma Hayeks snake dancing scene.
OOOOOOOohhhhh…and it’s a WHIIIIIITE snake!
(See what I did there…lol)
I Wonder :
**) If the mere suspicion that Blacks would take This Tact are part and parcel of what is driving firearms sales to such dizzying heights?? Gun show attendance in S/E Michigan (A K A: ‘Round Heah ) is just off the hook, if you use parking lot attendance as a metric.
**)What is the endgame here, or is there even one to be seen, long term?
Do whites avoid ‘those who are not like them’? [See:Sociobiology]
Sure they do. Is this supposed to engender better feelings? They/[Af-Ams] do not care about feelings, whites or much else. They have their mouthpieces now, Holder is gonna stick around for 4 more and it is not looking good if the first 4 are any guide.
**) Is anyone hereabouts ripping on SNL prodution like I already have?
Send all to the attn. of Lorne Michaels. Let him know just how destructive a platform, he himself has created….and you’re not buyin’ any friggen more.
It’s not a racial thing, it’s a class thing. I avoid fools like this; black, white, red, or yellow. He has nothing to say that I want to hear.
If that’s the message Foxx gets from the movie, I expect that many of his fans are eager to get the same thing. We can look forward to a slew of movies shamelessly exploiting the “Killing white people who deserve it is good” meme. All they need to do is come up with plausible scenarios: Nazis, Russians, CIA, Confederates, Jewish gangsters, Norwegian gangsters (I’m not aware of any, but, hey, they’re white), Racist redneck police, Dixie Mafia… I could go on, but you get the idea.
A meme is a terrible thing to waste.
Where have you been? For the most part, that’s about the only villain you’re allowed to see in most major productions – the white villain.
Just watched a Bruce Willis movie called “Fire with Fire”.
Hollywood apparently thinks they get extra points if they slap a fake Southern accent on their rendition of the usually caucasion villain. Not only that but he also even had his very own swastika tattoo plastered on his chest just above the shirt collar.
The so-called “Southern” accents Hollyweird trots out in their movies jar my nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Generally, we in the South are not amused.
What is equally annoying is the “dumb white guy” commercials that have been around for years now. How to you white guys buy products that are depected by these insults?
Personally, I don’t purchase their products.
I am aware of that, aharris. I’m not talking about films in which the bad guy is white, or corporate, or whatever. I’m talking about a revival of the blacksploitation film genre of the 70s, only this time the main attraction, what people will pay to see, will be killing crackers.
Don’t forget the all encompassing evil corporations, a 2 for 1 slam that gets double points in the movies for ripping on capitalism with their all white evil greedy villians. See the Manchurian Candidate remake with Dezel Washington, or as I’ve been told the newest Bond flick I’ll be seeing on New Years eve. I remember when Bond was fighting the Communist, now its the coroportist. The original Manchurian with Frankie is a much better movie.
What I see going on in our country today shocks and sickens me. I’ve studied my history and in a lot of ways, I see white Americans being set up as the scapegoat when the wheels come off the government wagon because they will and soon. Maybe this is why gun sales are going through the roof along with the rhetoric? This is going nowhere good.
Certainly this is a movie that I can’t expose myself or any of my family to the risk of seeing in a theatre.
I cannot take it anymore. We all have a “reality tunnel”, so Watson. Is this thesis itself a “reality tunnel”? If so, Watson does not know if there is a “transtunnel” REALITY, relative to which, there are tunnels. If Watson cannot know on his own theory that there is a tunnelless REALITY in which we all dig about, to be sure, tunnelly, he should shut up as his argument against intolerance is but one more tunnel. But if Watson does establish a tunelles REALITY, he has refuted himself. Indeed, Richard Rorty has driven this tunnel theory to the point that he, quite correctly, denies “reality” even for science. But sticking with science; when has science discovered the “inalienable rights” of humans? Please, you followers of Watson, give me the chemical formulate for “inalienable rights”. Or is such a belief just another tunnel? At one point Rorty has admitted that, effectively being in tunnels, a choice for solidarity or for cruely are of equal value, i.e., valueless. Values as imperatives are, well, just value tunnels–and nothing more!!! Do not complain if your neighbor puts a gun to your head in order to force you into his tunnel. Your objection is no more than another tunnel. Jumb on the relativity train and you will discover that there are, and on principle, no tracks. So you go nowhere except to spin your “reality” wheels in your own little or big (it is your valueless choice) tunnel. Amen!
What in the great and fondly remembered name of Andrew Breitbart are you going on about?
And herewith, we can observe an object lesson in what is wrong with our system of higher education as this “professor” rants away….
Huh? Go take a nap and the effect of the mushrooms will pass.
What is wrong with you folks? This entire skit was clearly a JOKE.
You guys are perched waiting to lunge at any possible crumbs that might support your post-Obama “blacks are racist too, see? we’re just sitting here being Americans until the blacks and liberals divide us” meme, not to mention how many of you are fully wallowing in negative black stereotypes while simultaneously attempting to be “above” such so-called “racism” in Mr. Foxx’s skit.
It would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.
I’m not laughing.
Maybe us right wing knuckle draggers don’t have a sense of humor. It doesn’t seem fair that you libs have all the humor and we don’t get any, but I’m sure Obama has a plan to fix that. Maybe a humor tax to redistribute the humor.
Some months ago I warned my very white father-in-law (I’m Black) that he does not need to worry about white racists because for all intent and purposes it has been quashed but the he needs to worry about bigots who masquerade their bigotry as political activism. Well, I would like to amend that: As of late, it has become chic to openly bash white people especially if they are of the WASP conservative male sort.
The first stage of justifying killing others is to demean them as a people. Woe be unto white people if they don’t nip this in the bud real quick.
I would suggest that too many are taking the quietude of civil society, complete with manners and aversions to insulting others, as weakness.
There is a saying that an armed society is a polite society (Yes, Heinlein again…), and as a rule white America is generally polite.
At least it is in the South.
Quiet confidence doesn’t have to brag loudly or rudely – especially when there is a gun discreetly tucked away within easy reach. That gun is likely never going to come out as these same people are not going to be brandishing it about trying to impress or bully or threaten anyone.
If they pull it out, odds are someone is going to get shot – and there won’t be any monologue preceding said shooting.
You are right that the American male, especially if he is of European descent, is targeted as the butt of jokes in pop culture and is generally portrayed as inept, clumsy, foolish, and weak.
Sadly, pop culture may be perceived as reality by the foolish.
What those believers in the pop culture myth fail to acknowledge is basic history.
If they do a little reading, they will encounter the ancestors of that same man storming the beaches of Normandy, fighting the cold war from eastern europe to asia, landing on the moon, slugging it out at Antietem, imagining and creating and then dropping BIG bombs on places like Hiroshima and Nagasaki – and yes, even enslaving entire peoples.
Of course, it helped that africans were more than willing to sell other africans into slavery and march them right up the gangplanks – but that’s apparently an inconvenient truth.
Anyway, it is not a matter of bragging but rather of acknowledging history when I suggest it’s a really bad idea to push that particular ethnic group into a corner and leave them with the idea they no longer have peaceful options as they are abused as an identifiable group.
It just won’t end well, and it’s better if such racism as Foxx displayed were more universally discouraged and criticized. If not, well….I will suggest that in the long run it could end up being reciprocated just as violently.
Thanks Jamie Now I know who my enemies are and while I cannot because of PC say the things you say about killing whites only using a different color of skin I can assure you I can be pushed into believing the same things about your people.
If you believe this threatening to kill whites is contributing to race harmony then you are a fool.
I meet other races and I am nice, polite and courteous I am respectful BUT I meet other races with that Old Marine plan firmly in my mind, which I cannot say due to being not PC. I have a plan for everyone I meet who I regard as an enemy or a potential threat and I can say over half of the people I know do the same.
You and your Bro’s and the POTUS has turned more people against you than any other person I know of.
Your remarks are no different than the KKK remarks about their favorite turds to hate.
Keep up the hate of whites and the menace in your words will turn more and more people against you and your ethnic pals.
I never owned slaves and you Jamie Foxx and every black American born and raised here after 1865 have never even been close to being a slave.
I am not a racist but I have begun to see the truth about black racism and black hatred and desires for the death of non blacks.
White folks had outgrown race hate or put it aside, Whites matured and found that racism was wrong but, keep this death to the whites agenda going and they can bring it back.
If the Bros want a war I am convinced there are people who will give you that war and then some.
Whites don’t want it, blacks live of the fantasy and the desire.
Seriously, what reality do you folks live in where:
1) You cannot see that this is a joke?
2) The only racism that now exists is black-against-white racism, and that whites have outgrown all forms of racism?
The comments here are mind-boggling.
Hmmm….let’s see, does this mean we can joke about torturing, hanging, or outright murdering black people now in some sort of weird bloody revenge fantasy?
You know, since it’s obviously a joke and all….
No one’s stopping you from making those jokes, just don’t be surprised when your absolute failure to acknowledge the dynamic between whites/blacks (refined over history on a very distinct set of difficulties – remember, just decades ago blacks couldn’t drink at certain water fountains or sit on certain sections on the bus) results in most people thinking you’re a racist jerk….
why should WE “have” to remember that in some place in the world blacks couldn’t drink from a fountain or ride the front of the bus or…how long did that go on for? WHO was responsible for those childish stupid cruel rules? WHO fought against segregation? the Republicans…who fought/voted to KEEP segregation? the DemocRats.. who abolished slavery? Lincoln, a Republican who started the GOP…Martin Luther King was a Republican, as was his daddy and granddaddy, poss for love and respect of Lincoln, (he switched as a deal by his wife when she got a pardon from the Kennedy administration when he got arrested) i mean why mentioning segregation what does that have with ANY of US now??????????? omg what a wimpy people…many peoples were victimized and abused in history by their own people FIFTY million killed by Mao! get OVER it you were NOT a victim, enjoy life!
I am 48 years old, born and raised in the South. While I’ve no doubt discrimination was taking place in my lifetime, I never personally saw it where I lived – a county that was majority black.
My family was also on the lower economic rung, so no country club for us while growing up.
In short, there ain’t a damn thing you can educate me on regarding relations between white and black.
Anyone in 2012 who is still squealing over segregation is simply looking for an excuse for their actions and their hatred.
The rest of us have moved on.
Oh, and I forgot to point out in responding earlier, you went from whining that it was only a joke (when Foxx did it) to whining about segregation and racism (when I questioned how a white person making the same comments would go over) in the span of only two comments.
That’s gotta be some kind of record.
Ever hear of the term “double standard”?
When a white person makes a joke about killing and hanging black people or something, EVEN IF IT’S NOT SERIOUS, it unfortunately runs the very real risk of being immediately associated with the behavior that, for hundreds of years up until recently, has been the reason for a lot of grief in the black community. I’m sure this sensitivity will fade away with time, but there’s still remnants in existence. Like it or not.
When Jamie Foxx makes his joke about killing all the white people on SNL, it does not run the risk of triggering any kind of sensitivities associated with a painful historical context about whites being killed for centuries by black folks. Why not? Because that’s not what happened, and there’s less historical weight/risk behind those words, and society thus far has obviously accepted that there are a few things that group X can say that group Y probably shouldn’t say. It will be a while until it evens out.
So yeah, whine about the “double standard” all you want, but society still apparently feels that words have weight and historical momentum in addition to their literal meanings. Get over it.

Here’s the flaw in your reasoning, boy….
You want to whine about crap that happened long before most of us were born. Yet to my knowledge there is no widespread lynching going on these days – and hasn’t been for quite some time.
Get over it as none of us here are guilty of that crime, and what’s more – no one alive is the victim of that crime.

You say there is no risk in triggering any kind of sensitivities?
I prefer to live in the present. And what is going on in the present? Google “Wilding” and “violent flash mob”.
You have events from California to New York City wherein large crowds of blacks – sometimes numbering into the hundreds – attack and brutally beat whites. For a more specific example, look up the Wisconsin Fair.
Think it’s an isolated incident? Check out the LA riots. WHO was targeted?
Do you seriously think Reginald Denny was picked out at random? The hatred Foxx espoused is clearly in evidence to anyone who simply opens their eyes.
As far as non-blacks in general being suspicious of blacks, someone else in this conversation has already pointed out that a disproportionate percentage of blacks are involved in violent crime as compared to other ethnic groups – so based upon that evidence alone there is reason for suspicion until you know someone better.

So let me get this straight….
You claim on the one hand that society gives weight to words – yet you claim Foxx’s words are NOT to be given weight?!?
Yep – that’s a double standard alright. It ain’t whining, it’s stating the cold hard truth and your logic is beginning to resemble a pretzel.
I seriously doubt “society” agrees with your viewpoint.
In fact, you seem given to that old leftist tendency to speak in absolutes for all of society as if your particular viewpoint is a self-evident truth requiring no proof when in fact it’s clear you have a very narrow slice of experience with the wider world.
I suggest you get out of your bubble more often.

Let go of your indoctrinated white guilt.
@ EscapeVelocity,
Ok, I usually don’t click on links but I gave in to my curiosity.
Yikes! There are incidents noted there that even I didn’t know about!
Hey, rasuemin……I got this great joke about your daughter, the NY Knicks, a jar of vaseline and a machete……….wanna hear it? It’s just a joke…….
Nice to know that the color of our skin, not the content of our character, is still a divisive issue. I’m white, blindingly so, but I’ve never owned a slave or discriminated by race–why should I? It’s all just people. Mr. Foxx, unfortunately, doesn’t seem to be extending me the same courtesy.
I’m beginning to think all this rhetoric is a self-fulfilling prophecy, though. Being a victim of racism is a great way to keep getting attention, so you keep talking about killing white people until whites actually do start getting nervous around blacks. Then you point that out and make a scene over it. Perfect system.
Rosa’s comment hit me like a thunderbolt, and then I remembered just why, & howzcum.
Remember back in 2009/010(?) when A G Holder called White Americans COWARDS for not engaging in discussions about race? Now that seemingly every Af-Am presence capable of making noise is spiking their ‘particular football’ over King Barry The First’s win, just who, with a modicum of common sense is gonna’ open up?
Tell you what, ‘Earache’: You set the time and place, we’ll mutually agree on the agenda to be discussed, and The TEAPers will provide all the security.
If that is not acceptable, we use French Foreign Legionaires with orders to shoot to kill,[i.e.: heads exclusively] anyone trying to intrude….Jamie Foxx being Target Number One. Then, all the big-mouths and large ones………..
Somebody explain here exactly what is ‘race pride, or pride of one’s race’ ??? What the hell exactly is this based on? There are idiot criminal moron scum bags of every race, religion, size, shape, gender and smell. I get up every day and the first thing on my mind is how great it is to be white? huh? So let’s move the sense of pride to some other attribute, let’s say IQ. I’m proud to have an IQ over x.. which means what? That I’m pleased to be GROUPED with everyone else that has at least an IQ of x? How would I know that unless everyone tatooed their IQ on their arm? Oh I know, just ask who they voted for in the most recent election..
“Somebody explain here exactly what is ‘race pride, or pride of one’s race’ ??? What the hell exactly is this based on?”
It’s a form of nature worship in which skin color is anointed as the primary idol.
“White nationalists are encouraging white Americans to adopt the interest group politics of racial and ethnic minorities. In making their case to ordinary white Americans, the leaders of the new white nationalism have appropriated the language of the left. Multiculturalism argues that all groups ought to be able to organize to celebrate their unique heritage, contributions to the world and genetic makeup. White nationalists argue that if identity politics is good for minorities, then it must also be good for whites. Civil rights rhetoric tells us that discrimination on account of race; gender or national origin is unconstitutional.” — Prof. Carol M. Swain
White Identity Politics will be mainstream within a decade. The opportunity for color blind society is past, minorities chose Racism, Sexism, Ethnicism, instead, under the banner of the Left.
When white Americans adopt racial identity politics/multiculturalism (e.g., “white Europeans”), the American experiment will officially be over–we’ll just be another cr*ppy country. So we have no choice but to continue to fight for conservative principles, especially among groups who are being seduced by Progressivism and its message of “empowerment” (i.e., forcing other people to work for you for free or give you their stuff) versus American conservatism’s message of liberty and equality of opportunity.
It is over, you just havent realized it yet. The minority Identity Groups arent going to stop doing what has been very successful for them over the last 50 years, gaining wealth, power, and praise. All White Europeans can do is organize to participate in the New Zeitgeist, for their own protection and well being.
Latinos make up a majority in New Mexico, and they have not given up their Identity Politics or minroity status for the purpose of continuing to benefit from Legal Racial Discrimination/Preferences and Priveleges.
Time to reorganize the tribe and get back to the business of Darwinian survival on this planet. Tribes prosper, individuals are picked off by larger groups, and shrivel and die. Europeans were most successful when they looked out for their own best interests, without regard to anybody else.
Here is a Black Separatist Republican voter I talk with sometimes…this guy has ties to the Nation of Islam.
Nadra Enzi: “Memo To The GOP: Most Black Folks Like Being Democrats, Because They Love Socialism More Than God”
http://www.bookerrising.net/2012/12/nadra-enzi-memo-to-gop-most-black-folks.html
Asserts the moderate-conservative Republican blogger: “Speaking as one American, the whole ‘GOP outreach to Black folks’ argument rings hollow for this reason. Most American Blacks reject Republican conservatism. While having strong religious conservatism, this doesn’t translate into its political equivalent, because of an even stronger allegiance: socialism. Many feel America owes us for a tortured past and present issues. Government entitlement is the vehicle for satisfying this grievance.”
More commentary from Mr. Enzi, about black American voters: “Against this backdrop, excessive outreach to socialist Americans in my community is a waste of time. Individual American Blacks and sub-sets are political conservatives by choice — not coercion. Begging; bribing or otherwise undermining traditional values platforms simply to have more Black faces in the GOP is a losing proposition.”
———-
Basically bankrupting America with government welfare and entitlements IS Reparations. It’s payback time.
“Most American Blacks reject Republican conservatism. While having strong religious conservatism, this doesn’t translate into its political equivalent, because of an even stronger allegiance: socialism.”
Indeed, EscapeVelocity, I can attest to this. Most Blacks I know (and I would like to think I know a lot) hate Republicans and everything they stand for. I also can say the same is true for many Latinos I know (again, I would like to think I know a lot).
This idea that Republicans and conservatives can appeal to these groups on other issues (soft talk on using government to give them things or being soft on the border) is condescending to these groups of people. Even if the GOP were successful in either pursuit, Blacks and Latinos would just pocket the benefits and continue berating the GOP as racist and bigoted. Why give up a great bargaining tool when nothing is ever demanded in return? Hmm, come to think of it negotiating with Blacks and Latinos is akin to the Israelis negotiating with the Palestinians. Oh well.
Chris, we can scoop many Latinos under the White or European American umbrella…if we offer them that alternative….with no alternative they identify with the groups that promote their interests by default…the Latino umbrella. Likewise, we can scoop many White European Women back under the White European tribal umbrella, offering them some group to advance their rights and well being, instead of Feminism. But the key is you have to give them something to hang their hat on, nothing from nothing leaves nothing…you got to have something, if you want to be with me.
The White European tribe needs to re-organize…and get our mojo back….pride and solidarity. Reclaim OUR history.
Can someone please explain to me what “white nationalism” is? There is no such ethnic group as “white”. There is as much difference between, say, a German and an Englishman as there is between Mr. Foxx and an ethnic Chinese. The only thing that could possibly lump all “whites” together is that we’re not “black” (and where does that leave the Asians and Native Americans?” Are you really sure that you want to go there?
European is the term I prefer. European American.
The Asians and the Native Americans are already organized as Identity Political groups. It leaves them where they already chose to be.
You cant win if you dont play the game, you are sure to lose, if you dont even get out on the field.
No need to ask who they voted for – just look at their rear bumper for a sticker.
(Then make sure you don’t let them merge in front of you in traffic.)
Hey, it’s me again, “history guy.” Why are there Klansmen in this trailer? It is pre-Civil War, right? And what’s with all the Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western landscapes?
I’m confoozded.
Oh wait. Tarantino made this movie (smacks head). Why do I keep forgetting that?
Definitely on my must never-ever-see list.
I was thinking about this movie on the drive into work right after it was advertised…..again…..on TV over my morning coffee at home.
Gave me an idea…
How about a movie that combines two of my passions – history and horror?!?
General Robert E. Lee in command of the army that is defending the last of humanity from hordes of (Union) zombies!
Lincoln would be particularly interesting as walking decayed flesh – and the head shot WOULD be appropriate at that point.
I need to get to work on that screenplay immediately! Couldn’t be any worse than this tripe Tarantino’s peddling!
Kindof already been done, but with the Confederates blood sucking slaver vampires, and Lincoln as the hero, who crushed them.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 2012
also there is the low budget movie where the Confederates are Zombies.
Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies 2012
I’m quite aware of the vampire iteration – it has previously been much discussed on this site…lol.
Didn’t know about the other one though, but still since there is a bit of role reversal I’m gonna claim some originality here.
Already have an idea how to start it out! Anyone have an interest in proofreading?!?
Foxx seems to dwell primarily on the negative steriotype of black men. I don’t hear his commentary include black women. I predict they will be the forward thinkers that will bring more positive ideas toward race relations leaving the poverty pimps and militant black hate groups who exploit their fellow blacks, as backward promoters of violence that does nothing to achieve advancement in their lives.
This is America. Jamie Foxx is free to say what he likes. We’re free to agree, ignore or criticize as is done here. But the point of all this is, if this was any white performer of equal or greater stature than Foxx, who expressed similar sentiments on a national stage changing the word “black” to “white” and “white” to “black”…..need this comment be continued?
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters, Louis Farrakhan, the Congressional Black Caucus and every other black racist organization in the U.S. would be on every News channel, who’d be clamoring for interviews, screaming racism, racism, racism ad nauseum.
The hypocrisy is stultifying, stupefying, strangulating. This is how the prominent leaders of the black community honor Martin Luther King. This is how they interpret his most memorable remark, “when people will be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.”
If you’re going to “have the courage” to make racial slurs against any race, man up when it comes back at you. Don’t whine while you’re driving around in your Mercedes about how unfair you’re not being treated by “the white man.” It’s old, worn out crap and it does nothing to create the image you seek or heal the racial rift you so zealously cling to. No more excuses. You’ve got what the Reverend King worked so hard to achieve. The blame the “racism” game doesn’t work anymore. You’re on your own. Pass or fail, it’s nobodies fault but yours. Take the credit or take the blame.
Rwanda. Haiti. Detroit.

I don’t care. Keep the savages where they are.
Great job Dave.
I know From Dusk Till Dawn’ was pretty good, but Tarantino is a Hollywood hack, of course he would be chosen to deliver this movie, at this time. All he has done is glorify violence, constant blood spattering is the worst, and act as a showman for some sort of John Woo Wu World.
As for Jamie Foxx, this is really bad news for white people, or just conservative people, George Zimmerman is now white of course, who live around big cities and suburbs.
As an ex progressive who has worked for PBS, TV in NYC, and been deeply ensconced in all things Lefty, except for the gay part…not that there is anything wrong with that…” as Seinfeld famously bemused, I can honestly say, that from my painstaking research, we are in trouble if we don’t replace the MSM with a kindler gentler 1000 points of light.
Identity Politics is winning the culture war. The Big Bad White Wolfman is to be burnt in offering to the great googli moogli. I see almost every political show falling for the Dems and Identity Politics, over American Values, or quaint outdated Whitey things like the Constitution.
But don’t get your tighty whities in a bunch white boys.
Remember the Spike Lee vs Clint Eastwood debate, and how it is ok for John Stewart to now lambast a True American Hero as if he were Mark Twain. I think these types of Memes have to be played out, and these times when many people who still have the will will be looking to Frontierism, even Patrotism, as a guide.
I believe that if we can unravel these lies a bit, take back the Cowboy ethic from the gays…we need to get up on our high horses, sit tall in the saddle we win. Point out the absurdity of MTV Schlomo taking down The Man With No Name…and game over. These guys are fan flamers, firestarters who need to be called out on other venues besides Fox and Rush.
The Liberal-Borg, is going to push their Transhumanist Agenda, till the cows come home and the chickens come to roost. Identity Politics is the mechanism, the pinch, by hook or crook, you will move along. It is the TSA on steroids, complete physiological humiliation.
The Comedians can always get cover, as do the hipster absurdists these days, by claiming it is all a big joke, ‘I was venting’, while the Dirty White Boys get lambasted for mistakenly using the word, ‘illegitimate’ in place of ‘forcible.’
This created a shirt storm that allowed fake Native American Harvard Lawyer Elizabeth ‘Dance with Liberals’ Warren to overtake Dirty White Boy Scott Brown with help from New Age Lesbians everywhere. And I do mean everywhere! Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Jamie Foxx should be ashamed of himself, he knows damn well what he is doing. This is racial taunting. This is an oscar winner who is talking like a Black Panther…but he is just a comedian of course.
You could not imagine the shirt storm if roles were reversed, reverse racism. LOL.
A-HA! If Black is the New White, then White is the New Black.
So, since we can’t say White Power! or ‘Up With White People’, I for one am going to go with, ‘Polish Power! and see where that takes me.
The only way to beat absurdity is with absurdity. Absurdium ad infinitum or somethign like that.
$hit!
Does this mean I have to start referring to myself as a European-American now and revert to Celtic “native” garb?
Seriously, not a good look for me. Those guys liked to go ‘sky clad’! Well, that and blue paint……
And where do my Native American Indian ancestors fit in there?
What kind of hyphenated designation am I going to end up with?
On the other hand, does this mean I can start carrying around a frickin’ long sword everywhere I go?
On the other hand, there WAS that whole pillaging thing….
Polish Power (awesome!) may lead you to start wearing black socks with sandals and carrying a man-purse.
On the plus side, you’ll get to eat lots of pierogi.
Bozo The Clone: There is no Klan because they weren’t around before The Civil War.
This movie is a remake of a spaghetti Western from 1966. Can’t remember the guy’s name but he was as popular in Italy as Sergio Leone.
I think anyone making statements about killing people of any particular color or race should be put right in jail and be given a battery of psychological tests. The punishment should be the same for all. I’m tired of blacks getting away with this. The same thing should happen to those making racist gestures. “Rascism” should be given a specific legal definition. Anyone claiming racism should have to use that definition.
