Michael Jackson passed away

[teatech]

And yet Jackasses like Jamie Foxx say that "he belonged to us (blacks) and we shared him with everyone else".


"We are here for the greatest. There's no need to be sad," he told the audience, "We want to celebrate this black man - he belongs to us - and we shared him with everybody else."



Racism will never die.

Sorry but Michael Jackson didn't control what Jamie Foxx said before he died and I'm quite sure he can't control what he says now. What Jamie Fox said and what Jackson achieved are two entirely different things so what's your point?

I said nothing about Jackson, so I don't see your angle.

The point is until BLACK/WHITE/HISPANIC PEOPLE stop thinking of themselves as WE BLACK/WHITE/HISPANIC PEOPLE and try thinking about WE AMERICANS, Racism will not die.

And the other point is that Jamie Foxx is a RACIST JACKASS.

Good point. I think it was Martin Luther King who asked for people to judge each other by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. This is what I live by. Jamie must still see black and white (which, to me, is the definition of racism). But I like Jamie... he just needs to understand that Michael was an entertainer who was loved by everyone who dug him.

It is an odd statment to say the least. I dont think any other race ever claimed him. His illness supposedly made him whiter, so there is no issue there. Not to mention, if races are claiming people now, I would gladly let black folks have MJ. His musical accomplishments were awesome, but that joker was weird and I lost all respect for him after the child molestation stuff. I will give it to him, though, he gave to 39 charities and gave a lot of money to them.

Have you preached that sermon to the "separatist/secesh" on this forum? Probably not.

He was not picked in the race draft on Dave Chappelle. Tiger Woods, Wu Tang Clan, yes. Michael Jackson, no.

Michael Jackson tried to look white, had white wives and white children. Even his alleged molestation victims are white. Jamie Foxx needs to take his grievances to MJ. Jamie Foxx jumped the shark after "Ray".

I loved that episode!

And he's really only a so-so actor, a less than stellar comedian, and a mediocre m"musician," if you can even really call him those.

Many would disagree with you. In fact, his latest music is in the top 10.

[dhussdawg]

I dont listen to Foxx's music, but hsi portrayal of Ray Charles was unbelievable. Hell, I even liked him in "In Living Color". His comment was very stupid, though.

That doesn't mean it's good.

to you.

[Abominable Gorilla]

Pretty sure he was talking about the 'kids in his bedroom' issues.

Did he ever apologize for any of that?

[Guisslapp]

to you.

Me too. His music blows.

[T_Won]

He said he was just drinking milk and eating cookies with the kids. He was found not guilty when a kid took him to court (and he settled with another one out of court).
