:laughing: 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 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.

It's not because black people are better at certain things, it's because that's what the culture is at the moment. It is definitely changing. Look at Eminem and Killswitch Engage.

Dude, there are not many white rappers. That is a fact. Despite the success of Enimen, there are not many white rappers even now. Very few. Also, how many black people in country music. Other than Cowboy Troy (who is deeply talented) and other black guy, there is not other black country artists. That is a reality.

That doesn't mean one race is better than the other. I just explained it.
You're as delusional as Jamie Foxx.
