More From Jamie Foxx

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

Suppose a white man should come to me and say, "joseph, i like your horses. i want to buy them." i say to him, "no, my horses suit me; i will not sell them." then he goes to my neighbor and says to him, "joseph has some good horses. i want to buy them, but he refuses to sell." my neighbor answers, "pay me the money and i will sell you joseph's horses." the white man returns to me and says, "joseph, i have bought your horses and you must let me have them." if we sold our lands to the government, this is the way they bought them.

I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.
Men Thinking White Man
I remember after i dated this white man, nobody said anything but there was a couple of men in my family that joked after that. 'oh yeah, we had a party when y'all broke up. hee hee hee.' and, you know, they laughed, and it was like light and a joke. but, you know, that's real. that was real and they let me know. and, it's almost acceptable within our culture to be prejudiced toward whites because of our history. this country is loaded with racism .

The corncob was the central object of my life. my father was a horse handler, first trotting and pacing horses, then coach horses, then work horses, finally saddle horses. i grew up around, on, and under horses, fed them, shoveled their manure, emptied the mangers of corncobs.
