Anyone see this? Saturday Night Live and Jamie Foxx~ Updated: How Black is That
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HIsPCmmELk
Was this funny to you?
"I get to kill all the white people, how great is that?"
Comedy?
You be the judge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The full monologue, which is not funny. Can't even imagine someone doing a bit about "how white is that". Not to mention the entire "black is in" right now shtick.
I find this unsettling.
So in other words, if I don't agree with your post, I shouldn't be able to comment on it. That's really adult of you.
It's a non-issue post that you've got your panties in a wad over because you troll the stratosphere looking for things to be upset about black people.
I do happen to think that Jamie Foxx is hot. I have since he was on "In Living Color". Do I find it 'Cool that he's black?" No more so than I find that it's cool that my husband is Asian, my dad is second generation Irish, or that my mom's family came from Bavaria.
Here's a question for you: Why do you find it so threatening that people aren't jumping up and down to agree with your skewed perspective on this non issue? Why do you care what anyone else thinks? Are you trying to rabble rouse, or are you crying about black people because you secretly want a 'Big Black Dude' to come up and 'do things' to you?
Here's my deal to you, from now on, I will avoid your posts. Not because I find your shrill pandering and idiotic rants eloquent, not out of respect for your feelings, but because I refuse to buy into your racist BS anymore and don't want to be irritated by your continued shrill cries of wrongdoing by people who don't give a shit about you one way or another.

Oh crap. This post is stupid. I finally was able to watch both videos and I'm seriously annoyed that I wasted my time. I saw nothing offensive in what Jamie Foxx said. He's a black actor who did a monologue written for him. Fuck. I'm seriously irritated that this was even an issue for anyone. Get a life and grow up.
Your response is stupid, vent somewhere else about how YOU choose to spend YOUR time.
Clearly the anti white "ha ha it's so funny to be so black and cool" sentiment worries not too many here, which is alarming considering the majority of members here are white and raising white kids.
Nah, it's cool, let them grow up feeling, and being TOLD to feel guilty for their skin color.
This is a really sick response, and it will delight me if you never post to my posts again.

Conservatives Freak Out About Django Unchained

Last week, the Drudge Report sparked controversy after inexplicably plastering its cover page with a picture of Quentin Tarantino above the word “N*GGER” printed several times. The headline linked to a review of Django Unchained, and was only comprehensible (and then just barely) as an attempt to stir up anger over the movie’s story about one slave’s revenge. Above the headline were several Tarantino-related links, including one to an old story about Spike Lee’s criticism of the director for his liberal use of the racial slur in his films.
Whatever Matt Drudge was trying to say—if anything—the sensationalistic headline highlighted the growing fear expressed by some on the right that Django Unchained is somehow a threat to white people. As Max Read noted at Gawker, those supposed fears were likely fueled in part by star Jamie Foxx’s opening monologue on Saturday Night Live a little over a week ago, in which he joked about being excited “to kill all the white people in the movie.” The monologue was highlighted on Breitbart News among other conservative websites. In a typical NewsBusters post, Noel Sheppard cluelessly wrote, “Imagine the uproar if a white actor joked about killing all the black people in a new film he was starring in.”
Anti-white bigotry has become embedded in our postmodern culture. Take Django Unchained. The movie boils down to one central theme: the white man as devil—a moral scourge who must be eradicated like a lethal virus. For decades, Hollywood, U.S. textbooks and higher education have stressed that America was founded upon slavery, sexism and genocide. In other words, white European civilization is the root of evil and imperial subjugation around the world.
It’s not clear whether Kuhner simply hasn’t seen the movie yet or if he just chose to ignore the fact that the only white men who are portrayed as “devils” are slave owners and slavery sympathizers. The German Dr. Schultz, played by Christoph Waltz, who veritably embodies “white European civilization,” frees Django and goes out of his way to help him win his wife back while deceiving the other white characters, even stating flat out at one point that he doesn’t believe in the institution of slavery.
While it’s easy to laugh at Kuhner’s hyperbolic piece, it wasn’t too long ago that writers for more respectable (and less rabidly rightwing) publications were getting worked up about the possibility of cinematically inspired black violence. Back in 1989, in New York Magazine, both David Denby and Joe Klein suggested that the the polarizing climax of Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing—in which racial tension erupts into a violent outburst after a black youth is killed by the police—might prompt violence against whites. “If some audiences go wild, [Lee’s] partly responsible,” Denby wrote. Klein echoed the sentiment, saying that while the “subtleties” of the movie would leave “white (especially white liberal) audiences debating the meaning of Spike Lee’s message,” black teenagers would regard the message more simply: “The police are your enemy…White people are your enemy.” Klein found a “dangerous stupidity” in this supposed message.
Of course, black audiences didn’t riot after seeing the film, because they are not so simple-minded as Denby and Klein implied they were.
As for Django Unchained, the movie barely begins to touch the surface of the everyday violence practiced upon black bodies during slavery: Tarantino’s revisionist fantasy spends more time reveling in the revenge enacted by Django and Schulz against horrible villains, including a prominent black character. If Kuhner and company can’t face this much, they obviously haven’t spent much time thinking, in an honest way, about American history.
