Jamie Foxx: Black People Are The Most Talented People

Jamie Foxx made a bold statement at the 2013 NAACP Awards, where he accepted the award for "Entertainer of the Year," and stated "Black people are the most talented people in the world!" He added, "I ... it's ... I can't explain it. You can't sit in this room and not watch Gladys Knight sing and go like, 'Golly, what in the world?'"

This comes after Jamie told Vibe that "every single thing in my life is built around race" for their Jan./Feb issue.

He continued during the round table discussion with "Django Unchained" co-stars Leo DiCaprio and Kerry Washington, saying "As a black person it's always racial. I come into this place to do a photo shoot and they got Ritz crackers and cheese, I'll be like, 'Ain't this a b*tch. Y'all didn't know black people was coming?" Foxx said. "What's with all this white sh*t?'"

Jamie added that he also plays into another part, saying "By the same token, if there is fried chicken and watermelon, I'll say 'Ain't this a b*tch' ... so, no matter what we do as black people it's always gonna be that."

Yeah and black people are also the most drug users the worst dads the black man always leaves their kids for the pipe the most disrespectful and even though they don't believe it the most racist and prejudice aside from the most important black people don't work and their the ones who take money from the government such as food stamps housing 99 % of housing are habited by black people who have mental drug problems aside from them being lazy and going to work u tell me where is the talent oh yeah and if they do have a talent they pissed off in drug baby moms etc i don't see any talent in that nasty color.

Wrong Jamie ! 02/12/2013 10:35 am

That's a far fetch comment because most scientist, doctors, and people with outside of entertainment are not black. That's a ignorant comment. Period.

@Wrong Jamie 1... "most scientist"?? I believe your dumb ass meant SCIENTISTS. Jamie was discussing TALENT, and black people are indeed the most talented.

White ppl are more talented at things that count. How many oscars do black actors have? And Jamie fox wasn't ur director WHITE? In football u got Brady manning brees rivers Rodgers flacco. All positions that require brain and skill and they all white. Stop this non sense. Black ppl talk all this shit and it's ok? What if a white actor would have said that same statement? Ohhh al sharpton would be holding a fucking meeting. If u can make jokes then y'all take them as well and stop bitching.

@Wow dumb ass, there are way more white actors to win Oscars than black actors... of course more whites will have oscars. Your dumb ass typed "and they all white" instead of "they're all white"... you ignorant faggot. Your education level is super low. Save yourself from the embarrassment and don't even comment, try going back to high school and earning a diploma.
