Identifying - A Sore Trooth: Racism.
Reason - there are, there have been, and there will always be stupid, immoral people on the face of the earth (by the way - from every race, creed, and color). At least the hatred-based, hard right-wing, white supremacists admit it upfront - whereas, the left-wing, black crowd cannot. Their choice to exist in a hatred-based, hard left-wing world is a fantasy built on a pathetic foundation of denial and hypocrisy.
The Jamie Foxx rant, regarding Michael Jackson, could not have driven the nail home in the coffin (excuse the pun) any clearer. His "He Belongs To Us" speech could not have been more divisive and contradictory to the words of a famous "I Have A Dream" speech.
One of Jackson's signature song's (as I recall) stated - "It doesn't matter if you're Black or White". Well, apparently to Foxx, it definitely matters. Foxx chose "denial and hypocrisy" with regard to the fact that Jackson spent his adult life turning white, dating & marrying white women, and having his children fathered by white men & women (don't be so stupid as to believe that Jackson's sperm impregnated Debbie Rowe).
If the black community truly abhors racism, and wants to work toward minimizing it, then black celebrities, with access to a public stage/venue, have to step up and be intelligent in their efforts - unlike Jamie Foxx's words and actions.
Food for thought - what if there was a White Miss America pageant, a WET (white entertainment network), a UCCF (united caucasian college fund), and on and on? Would such actions be labeled racist? File it under things that make you say - hmmmmm.
Here's the cold reality. The Civil Rights Movement spent years attempting to break down the barriers and divisions of race. MLK, Jr. message was the forerunner to Jackson's hit - "It doesn't matter if you're Black or White." Those efforts, although taking hold little-by-little over time, began to make headway in White America. And then, some numbed-skull, self-appointed spokesmoron like Foxx, takes the liberty to speak for all of Black America and reminds everyone (Black or White), that Blacks, in fact, want to define racial barriers - not break them down.
Thanks Foxx - for casting a "black" eye on the issue of racism.
I'm not a dentist. I'm just some guy identifying - A Sore Trooth.
