I know you probably didn't mean for it to sound that way but I always burst out laughing when people use the whole "I have black friends" card as a defense.

I agree with you though that there are indeed black people that are racist.

As far as Jamie Foxx is considered, I don't really think he is though. If he said black people are the only talented people in the world and white people should stop trying then yeah I'd call him racist.

I wasn't pulling that card, just stating that i have personally talked to black people who have told me that they think blacks are just as racist as whites these days.

Being racist against black people is a crime, and crime is for black people.

Okay we can disagree on that but it wasn't racism.
He wasn't saying **** ALL YOU WHITE PEOPLE AND LATINOS BLACK PEOPLE ARE BETTER YOU ****ERS.
He was just kind of... I don't know delusional about black people and their talents.

He can be racist all he wants, that's fine. I just think to double standard is a bunch of ****. I'm not convinced there isn't one.

It all depends on what you are talking about. White got talent in some fields than whites. Pratically on music. Here is how I see it. I think white people are the best with pop music, rock music or even country music. I think black people tend to be better with rap, R&B, blues, and soul music. That is my response to Jaime Foxx's statement.

Really? I think people are better at music. I must be racist against not people.

I will point this out, there are very few black rock musicians, very few black country musicians, very few white rappers, and very few white R&B singers. Just think about that.
