Hollywood type casting

Jamie Fox is a racist and about as believable a President as the Fart I let last night...

Last night eh? Dude you know you let go at least a Secretary of State if not a President or two this morning. Me, I only pass Attorney Generals.

Jamie Fox, talking about another movie he was in told everyone "I get to kill all the white people." Imagine a white actor saying anything like that about any people of color. The uproar created amongst the 3 brain cells that make up the entertainment industry would be deafening.

White males are the ONLY people about which jokes can publicly be made, and white people are the only ones the media will brand a racist.

I agree what happened to her is a huge overreaction. But if it's true what she said in 2007 about her "dream southern plantation wedding," well... judge for yourself:

“Well what I would really like is a bunch of little niggers to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around,” the lawsuit claims Deen said. “Now that would be a true southern wedding, wouldn’t it? But we can’t do that because the media would be on me about that.”

That said, I'm sure there are plenty of other racist people out there, on Food Network and elsewhere, who just haven't been honest enough for their views to come out. And she's offered a sincere apology, which, interestingly enough, most of the black celebrities I'm aware of are ready to accept and move on. Which is what the rest of us should be doing...

WOW toad........did you EVEN read the transcript........ANY OF IT.

It is easy to quote the article, which you did, but in the deposition, it never once stated that, so it is not in the record, it is hearsay.

If she said what you quoted, then it is an issue, but that was not part of the deposition, which is part of the problem. The media runs rampant on this ****, and I'm about SICK of it.

Here is a link to a PDF of the deposition, if you don't want to read it on that page:

If that word "nigger" was banned from ever being used, Richard pryor would have never made a movie, or a TV special. but I totally enjoy watching his shows. Eddie Murphy in his " buckwheat is dead' skit cracks me up. being a cub fan,Ernie Banks, was one of my baseball heros. Want to see N----rs watch judge joe brown.I went to school with "negros" "African americans" "colored". Served in the army with them along with native americans, pueto Ricans,and Hispanics.Worked with all types of folks, but I judged by actions,.Sure I've seen hill billies, red necks.and all the black slur titles, along with the Hispanic slurs, but I AVOID contact with as many as I can.

I'm thinking back to LBJ and the trouble he always had with the word "negro." It always came out "nigra."

NOT calling him a racist...
