Shay over at Booker Rising has found a very interesting one today.
She cites and disagrees with Devone Tucker’s view of a statement made by Jamie Foxx at the NAACP Image Awards.
Here’s what Mr. Foxx said:
Image Awards Honor Jamie Foxx for Music
|
Mr. Tucker feels this statement was wrong and a White person could never get away with saying something similar about people with their own skin tone. Mr. Tucker is 100% correct and I agree with him 100%.
Many Black people want everybody in the world to be “P.C.” except us.
Black being a culture, it is justifiable to have entertainment or even a network titled “Black”, if it offers Black cultural programming. Sadly BET often shows the worst of Black culture, but that’s another issue. One can even justify having a “Black” awards show, if the focus is Black cultural entertainment and Whites are not excluded. The NAACP has always given Image Awards to both Blacks and Whites, so that is not an issue here. I say the NAACP can keep on giving their awards. I just wish they’d stop trying to reward killers.
It is clear that Mr. Foxx said his statement in regards to skin-tone. He is happy to be in a room filled with people that are closer to his skin tone than George W. Bush. Foxx’s statement shows he feels Blacks are better to be in his company than Whites. It’s a totally bigoted statement.
The reaction to this shows that many folks are accustomed to having the double standard. Because when Trent Lott said Strom Thurmond should have been President, look who had a fit! (A whole lot of Black people.) Hey, old Strom just wanted to be around people that looked like himself 
. So Strom Thurmond was enacting Mr. Foxx’s thoughts as a Presidential campaign. I say Strom was wrong, Lott was wrong and Foxx is wrong.
Now what if a White man wins an award in education and says “White folks are eduction”?

It is interesting how he views us as “Africans”. An American wins the Gold medal and he can’t be an American. He’s got to have a special description in front of his name, when he probably can’t speak a word of a single language from the African continent and any parts of his DNA linked to Africa probably has not seen the place is over 400 years.
That blogger seems as if he does not like anyone who is not somehow classified as a “victim”.
He also mentions:
And he says “How about putting some money into public schools (so one can employ me full time).”
So he sees himself as a victim as well.
And he lauds Socialism. There were Blacks in Communist Russia, but you never saw them at the Olympics. You never saw them at all. You still don’t see them and the nation is less Communist than in times past. Racism does not disappear by changing the political system. This is a mistake many Blacks made in the 1960s by teaming up with Socialists.
As Condi Rice has said, she sees more Blacks at meetings with American business and political leaders than in any other major nation on earth.
And it’s funny how these Liberals cry “oh they don’t have money for winter sports”. Nope, those same kids just have money for expensive basketball shoes and other pricey items that fit their cultural surroundings. I see more expensive cars in some apartment building parking lots than I see in many communities with homeowners. The people going to the Summer Olympics are FAR FROM POOR. They pay for coaches and such too! Not to mention the performance enhancing drugs that we are supposed to think are not being used on a massive scale. That’s the REAL PRICE of winning at the Summer Olympics.
It’s got nothing to do with money and everything to do with priorities and culture. White Europeans were never getting NBA contracts till somebody told them that they could play basketball too and actually do well if they worked hard at it.
Those Williams Sisters that Liberal blogger loves did not come from a rich home. They grew up in Compton, CA.
“Richard Williams, the son of a sharecropper from Louisiana, claimed he had initially deliberately moved his family to Compton, ’so that they could see all the bad that could happen to you if you don’t get an education’. He saw tennis as the most realistic chance for his five daughters to escape the ghetto. “

And you know, once upon a time, people used to say tennis was a “rich White man’s sport” too
