Jamie was awful lol. He really thinks he is a triple threa,t he cannot sing nor dance and he is fuglie lol. All the kids were laughing at his attempt to moonwalk what an idiot.
I thought he was insulting. Completely insulting.
Someone should remind Jamie of Michael’s song lyrics…doesnt matter if your black or white or the song he did with Paul McCartney about racial harmony. He didnt promote belonging to a certain skin colour or divided his fans…ever. So he would not have felt he ‘belonged’ to any one group. He belonged to his family and to his fans around the world across all barriers. Shame on you Jamie. I dont think MJ would have been happy with that statement. Stop playing the race card everytime your at an televised event. Enough already it doesnt help move us forward as a society and doesnt honour the memory of a man whose very being stood for love and acceptance of all.
I’m sorry but the BET awards did a very lame attempt in honoring Michael…. it was just awful… and I do agree with anon, Michael belonged to his family and every fan he had, regardless of race.
WHERE WAS EVERYONE WHEN MICHAEL WAS SAD AND SUFFERING? DEATH IS THE ONLY TIME THAT PEOPLE REMBER PEOPLE. RIP U LEGEND.
I love how they sang the song I’ll Be There, Jaime Foxx and Ne-Yo, was
beautiful.
It would appear that I wasn’t the only one who interpreted his behavior and act a certain way…Jamie Foxx was disgusting, foulmouthed, and an insult to Michael Jackson’s talent and person in death. He has become an arrogant egomaniac and will, ultimately, find his way on the bottom of the pile, again.
I am white. I watch BET!
I get so tired of Jamie Foxx and his racism. I am so over his BS - he perpetuates hate…his foul mouth and lame comic attempts irritated me so much I turned off the program…I just don’t know why he has to be so disgusting…He is a great actor…but I just think he is so full of himself and so rude that it takes away from the raw talent he has…what a disappointment.
Every since Jamie Foxx became a movie actor, he’s been full of himself. He’s a good actor, but I’ve given up watching anything that he’s in.
Just saw him through Youtube, image a white guy saying the same *&^@#! Hell would break loose. Racist stuff that.
@Jen: Well the BET awards had already been finished prior to MJ’s untimely death. So BET had a little less than 3 days to prepare and re-do the show. I think they did alright considering the circumstances.
I was glad to see others recognized the inappropriateness of Jamie Foxx’s comment. Can you imagine how outraged he would have been if a white man stood up in a predominantly white gathering and said about Elvis, “He belongs to us, and we just shared him with everybody else (i.e. everbody who isn’t white).” He ia an angry little hypocrite. Hey Jaime, news flash, life is hard for everybody. White people (whatever that means anymore) are not the enemy and don’t all get to sail through life either - get an education. Should white people also thank you for “sharing” OJ Simpson and any drug/gang-related black criminals? Get a clue Jaime; I hope your friends all told you what a stupid and thoughtless thing that was to say. Racism is ugly no matter what your color.
I’ve only seen snippets of the show and it looked so slap dash…. yes, I know they only had 3 days to prepare. They should have stuck to the original plan and just dedicate the extended half hour to honoring MJ. Acts receiving their awards would have mentioned MJ throughout anyway, plus some were donning his look. Instead it was a rush job that most people found cringeworthy, with the exception of Janet Jackson. Jamie was behaving like he was on speed or something. I really beginning to see how much of an irritating jackass he is. RIP MJ.
I’m not clued up on these people but wasn’t Jamie an actor first then a musician? Or is it the other way round. Then again, maybe a ‘comedian’ (note term used loosely). first? Please inform, guys?
Just wanna say,True beauties are actually among ourselves
,__million aire chats Co m___ hot and sincere rich people,hot girls and handsome men there are much more attractive and charming!
“It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white” Jamie. wtf? Why are you so color focused man? Give it up already. We are all equal. Why would you say ‘grown white men fainted?” Anyone fainted. Everyone loved him. It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white.

I don’t hear criticism when Italian, Jewish or irish people say a celeb is” one of ours”. As B;lacks of course we are going to feel a special connection to MJ. In the same way that when a celeb is from a certain hometown like Houston (my hometown) We will say Beyonce , The Quaids, Clint Walker are one ouf ours. I find it puzzling that some whites critisize events like Puerto Rican Day parade or Junettenth parade but have no problem celebrating St. Patrick’s Day(Irish heritage) or they fact that there are Scottish Rite dormitories at UT for girls of Scottish heritage. Most Blacks don’t know our ethnicities we don’ know if our ancestors were from Ghana or Angola or Liberia,etc unlike whites .Most Whites can say my grandmother was Irish or my grandfather was French we can’t so we have to rely on this general holidays to connect. So if you wan’t to end separation then don’t only get read of African American but ItalianAmerican festival, close the NY irish center, close Scottish Rite Dormitory. If you wan’t to get rid of Puerto Rican day parade than we need to get rid of St Patrick’s day parade
What are you talking about fair is fair? Because we are talking about Jamie Foxx and his lame hosting of the BET awards…He offended me and that is the bottom line…He offended others on the board. Your weak attempts to make yet another excuse is transparent.
i strongly dislike jamie foxx, he just comes off as a douche
i think it’s official kristen ruined her looks with this new movie
Hey if you’re as big of a Michael Jackson fan as I am, you definitely want to check out http://www.Billboard.com - great segments displaying his life and impact on the world of music.
I totally stopped watching this a-hole a long time ago I cannot stomach the MF.
U will be missed Michale!
I used to like Jamie Foxx, but ever since I saw this YouTube clip of him completely humiliating this comedian, Doug Williams, I started thinking he was kind of an A$$. Now the more I see of him, the more I dislike him. He could care less about Michael. He’s only cashing in, just like Joe Jackson.
Here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_L-gbpKZpo
i refuse to watch the vid, reading about it was upseting enough. what an *******… really, i think michael would’ve cringed at this so called tribute. STFD jamie foxx.
@fair is fair:
I second that! Totally agree. Stop being hypochrites!
@Adri:
Watch the clip closely. It was that lame comedian who started the fire by dissing Jamie on his comedy routine. But of course he messed with the wrong person and got what he deserved.
@anon:
How many “white” entertainers, actors, actresses did we lend to them?
I am sorry. No matter how much I like Michael Jackson’s music..and his capabilities seemed limitless…he was the one nicknamed Whacko Jacko for good reasons.
He was confused, molested, abused, evidently addicted, and deep in debt and the media simply cannot pass up an opportunity to comment on that. Nor could they with the passing of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith….et al!
This Jamie Foxx really annoyed me too!! Funny though how he claims they did us a favour ‘lending’ us their MJ….that MJ who bleahced his skin white?!?!!!! Nice one Foxx!!
Jaime was a disgrace, and I would actually consider his attempt ghetto, and mocking rather than any kind of tribute. you’re disgusting Jaime . . and I feel sorry for people that admire you
It’s very-very clear, so clear my 12 year old even picked up on it, my kid said, “if Irish people said an Irish entertainer or a St. Pat’s Day parade was only for White people and belonged ONLY to white or Irish people…MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN ! It would be jumped on like white on rice! What jamie Fox-a-fool said was racist. What or is everybody stuck on stupid?
It’s 100% clear that this Jamie Fox-a-Fool is a Big Fat Neo-Racist.
Racism comes in all colors and it clear he (jamie) one
Also aint he the nobody that made fun of that really cute kid Miley? She cute, I love her smile and she could sing too, for real and she justtoo cute. Why he makin fun of that girl and sayin those lies? ,
@anon: I absolutely agree - I couldn’t get over Jamie Foxx’s stupid racist comment - how dare he say - he was one of us, he belonged to us - why hasn’t he been bought to book about it. He should apologise. He obviously hasn’t listened to Black or White.
I love you Michael, so much! I wish you could see how much the world is mourning. How much the world loves you. I wish we showed you this love when you were alive, I wish that there were millions of people backing you up on those false charges against you. I never doubted your innocence. You are larger than life, just a human being but much more than one. I’m hoping that Hawaii makes some kind of tribute to you because I can’t stop crying when I play your music.
PEACE!!!
Oh yeah, I forgot. Jamie, you are an idiot! Drop the racism already!
Everybody hates it!
@fair is fair: @fair is fair:
Are we taking about the same subject???? I’m not buying any of your misguided analogies. Foxx’s remarks we’re insulting and rude. You don’t have to insult another race while paying tribute to another. The mere fact that you just don’t get it or choose not to, is a shame.

@fairboy: I did watch it closely before I posted it. Jamie is a jerk. He knew that poor guy couldn’t stand a chance against him. I realize the guy started it, but that’s like saying this example: a 4th grader pushes an 8th grader (he started it), and then the 8th grader pounds the 4th grader in the face repeatedly until he is unconscious. Would that be right? Jamie could have made a few jokes and stopped. He took over the guy’s whole act and humiliated him until the guy wanted to disappear. I can’t imagine that any man wants to feel that kind of embarassment anytime, let alone in front of millions of people. It was a “roast” so this guy was supposed to make jokes about people there. Jamie’s actions were horrible.
Jamie Foxx is disgusting. He should keep his big fat mouth shut!
Seriously Jamie, “it don’t matter if you’re black or white!” MJ belongs not only to black people, or to asians or caucasians, he belonged to everyone! God forbid a white person would have said, “Elvis was a white person.. he belongs to us!” All hell would have been let loose. Just respect MJ not at a black man or a white man, but as a citizen of the world who BELIEVED in a better place.
Long live the king of pop, our own Mozart
@fair is fair: “I don’t hear criticism when Italian, Jewish or irish people say a celeb is” one of ours”. ”
Right, you don’t hear criticism of it, because it doesn’t happen. Name ONE time when a celebrity stood up and said that Elvis or Sinatra was “one of ours” meaning white people… I’ll be waiting. A looooooong time.
I am so sick of this crap. Racism was over when we elected a black president. If these folks keep this crap up they will perpetuate a new era of racism in this country. The whites will eventualy get really sick of it and hand the same **** back frickin foul mouthed smart a…s
@Stacie: Stacie, well spoken. Regardless of “political correctness” any one, of any color, can be a racist. And Jamie Foxx is a racist. His comments were disgusting, and our mainstream media are a bunch of wimps and hypocrites for not holding him to the fire as they would a white man if he made a similar comment.
@anon: Thank you Anon- you were right on in what you said, and I appreciate that you expressed yourself like an adult without resorting to foul language.
………….Jamie wasn’t thinking……..even HE would say he was acting like a douche. Ask him! He would probabley want that appearence back.
I think Jamie was out of place and offensive. All you have to do is listen to MJ’s “Black or White”…..Michael gives his feelings on race. He didn’t want us to judge one another by color……
I’m a white women who grew up with parents that taught me the same thing…….we are all equal. Let’s get over it already!
It just must kill Jamie that Michael Jackson “brought” three White children into the world.
Racism is racism. All racists think they have a good reason to be racist.
Jamie Foxx wouldn’t be the celeb he is if White people hadn’t supported his career. Neither would Michael Jackson. Or Oprah. You think only 13% of the American population could make a superstar of somebody?
I met people in Tanzania who never heard of Michael Jackson.
Jamie Foxx is such a cocky no talent loser, i don’t know how he ever got on tv, radio, and the silver screen, oh yeah he played a ****** in a movie, wasn’t hard for him, then he recorded a couple lame songs that some producer probably wrote while was getting water shot up his ass from a bidet. not to mention its hardly his voice after the computer got done processing it to sound like t-pain and all the other no talents of today.
that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. You can be proud of someone without bringing so much racial division into it.
It don’t matter if it’s black or white
@Adri:
I’m not sure what was funny about his interruptions….he kept saying “I’m your conscience”…..my 5 year old does that when people laugh…..just keep doing it over and over
BRILLIANT!!
@fair is fair
Fair is fair???? LOL to your dumb ass statement!
OKay so lets get rid of BET then right stands for black entertainment twelevision…
you know if we had a WET white entertainment television channel **** would hit the roof…
and to top it off shouldn’t we all get minority rights at this point in society i.e education and job placement etc.
Who gives a @#$% about hilidays??? IPeople can keep whatever holidays they want! The funniest part about that it Holiday comes from Holy and is supposed to be celebrated as a holy day anyway…but thats a whole different view……fair would be if people addressed eachother with love no matter what based on not whom they are talking to or looking at , but based on how they wasnt to be treated.
I think this world is full of hipocrates and it’s disgusting to me that people who have power to influence our people as a whole, abuse their power to make themselves feel important. I am very sad and dissapointed for our children, what examples do they have to guide them. There are a few of us out there, but most people, just don’t care anymore about what’s really important. Jmie Foxx, you have let me down, but I will refuse to judge you as it is not my place or concern. But I am saddend by the things you said.
THIS MAN WAS A CHILD TOUCHING PERVERT. HAVE YOU PEOPLE LOST YOUR MINDS. YOU ARE HONORING A PEDOPHILE. A TALENTED AND LEGENDARY PEDOPHILE. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!
I am so glad there is almost universal disgust over Jamie Foxx’s comments. What idiotic statements he made! I have been bothered by his words since he spoke them, and I decided to google Jamie Foxx Michael jackson and I got this thread….thank you so much, all of you who spoke up. I haven’t seen much in the mainstream media, but so what…these three pages of repudiation of Jamie Foxx’s words are curative.
How arrogant for him to think he (or any number of millions of black people) has the right to say THEY are the ones who shared Michael with us. I am four years younger than Michael and I grew up with him. Screw you Jamie Foxx. Go back to Living Colour…pure entertainment. Maybe you’re just upset that Jim Carrey makes more than you. Fire Marshall Bill. Did “we” share him with you? I don’t think so. He’s one of the many Canucks who have done themselves proud.
Vaya con dios, hasta la vista, Jamie.
I’ve never had anything against Jamie Foxx, I just never thought he was a good actor and an even worse singer. I always thought that the trouble with Jamie Foxx is he plays every role the same…arrogant, thinks he’s indestructible and thinks he’s better than everyone else. In his sitcom where he worked at a hotel, he was so full of himself and so arrogant.
But since I saw his tribute to Michael Jackson and what Jamie said, I really don’t like him. I really hope America shows him that what he said is not right, is racist and hateful.
Another white whine… Jamie’s comments were not racist…and those who think so clearly do not know what racism entails…racism requires institutional power…power is both a necessary and suffcient conditon of racism….In otherwords, racially charged language issued by black people can and will not affect the upper social mobility of white people…However, racially charged language issued by white people against black people can and will affect the upper mobillty of black people…if you don’t believe this, go to any black neighborhood, perhaps with the exception of Atlanta, and you will see that of all the buisness located in the black communities are rarely owed by black people…
In additon, what I think Jamie was trying to say is this: MJ is the product of black america and it’s rich artistic tradition…MJ belongs to us because we created him…we introduce him to the world…just think about it…Why Motown? Motown exist because a lot of white record label at the time would not give black artist the time of day, or the credit and respect that black artist deserved…in fact, there was a time when these record companies refused to put the face of these black recording artist on the cover of their on records…when did white people ever have to endure that kind of humilation?
Jamie’s statement was not only historically correct, it was also reasonable…unlike racism…which is inherently false and irrationale
Jamie’s comment was NOT racist. You all just got your panties in a bunch because MJ is black and black ppl are supporting him and devestated by his loss. You all love MJ however I’d doubt you’d be so accepting of any other black person…to you all MJ wasnt black but he was BLACK . There is nothing racist about speaking the truth….Michael Jackson was a black man and he was supported by the black community before you all even knew what was what… Screw the we are the world bullshit this is REALITY and in REALITY race matters. If the black community did not support Michael there would be no Micahel Jackson as you know it today. His mama is black and his daddy is black and no amount of monobenzone,nose jobs or lace front wigs will change that fact . I swear some of you Michael worshipping white people actually like to believe that he is a white man of the white race and that just simply isnt so….. Sorry to disappoint you all…Just admit it the reason you are mad at Jamie is the fact that he told the world that Michael is black and he was proud….but you all hate that…? WHY? He was black. You all love Michael…You all worship the ground he walked on….But beneath the facade…the makeup…the hair…the nose jobs…the other surgeries …He is your average black man….Why dont you look at other black people with that “we are equal and it doesnt matter” attitude? Why just MJ? I’d bet my last dollar the majority of you would never even look at a black person as a mate …yet you will fall on your knees in Michael’s prescence like he was God himself….Such a shame …. Beneath it all MJ is a brown skinned wide nosed thick lipped black man with beautiful eyes…..
