A real class act
"Comedian" Jamie Foxx (real name: Eric Bishop) commenting about 16-year old white teen star Miley Cyrus on his Sirius radio show, April 12, 2009.
The same "funnyman", generously (and presumptuously) deigning on behalf of black people everywhere to share the legacy of their dead black pop star (because, you know, the singer "belonged to them" exclusively) with the millions of fans of other colors who enjoyed the star's records, Black Entertainment Television, June 28, 2009.
That's funny, Mr. Bishop. We didn't hear such vocal support for Mr. Jackson while he was being investigated multiple times (and tried once) for being a pedophile, the reason why we long ago stopped listening to Jackson's admittedly quality music. You can have him, sir. He's all yours.
A white comedian who spewed similar blatantly racist pronouncements about people who happened to be minorities would be immediately (and correctly, in our view) taken to task for their statements (and some indeed have been; recent examples include Don Imus and Michael Richards), and the tiresome race pimps such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would no doubt instantly be in front of the performer's house with torches and pitchforks, demanding their pound of flesh.
Why should Mr. Bishop fare any differently?
UPDATE: Now the two race pimps are actually slap-fighting each other over which one of them will get the "honor" of being in front of the world media as the "spokesman and adviser" to the Jackson family.
One honestly couldn't write a farce like this and get it accepted for publication, as it just wouldn't be believable enough.

Great point. It's so funny how all of these stars come to mourn his death when they were absolutely nowhere around during his trials, backing him up.
The black community feels the need to "sell" us the idea that we should be mourning. It's so condescending. Just like for 13years we just had to be reminded that "O.J. was never convicted, okay? So you can't call him a murderer." Then, after all of these additional ignorant crimes where we see his true colors, it finally stopped.
Everyone I know, even us that make jokes about MJ, are mourning the tragedy that was this poor individual's life. He never had his own life, just the life that his family, handlers, and the media gave him. He was never allowed to come open with his sexuality, and that resulted in some damaging behavior. Jamie fucking Foxx doesn't have to show me that.
