Jaime's Intake On Animal Cruelty

Jamie Foxx

“It’s a cultural thing, I think. Most brothers didn’t know that, you know. I used to see dogs fighting in the neighborhood all the time. I didn’t know that was Fed time. So, Mike probably just didn’t read his handbook on what not to do as a black star. I know that cruelty to animals is bad, but sometimes people shoot people and kill people and don’t get time. I think in this situation,he really didn’t know the extent of it, so I always give him the benefit of the doubt.”

---What Jaime Foxx thinks about the Michael Vick case.

why is it when black people do bad things they blame it on the fact that they are black? they seem to be more racist than white people

Jamie Foxx is a deviant. I will never rent or go to another movie that he is involved with. I will never purchase a record that he is involved with. Pass the word, Jamie Foxx condones animal torture.
Posted by: jennifer wilson on 08/24/2007 12:03 PM



Wow! That's a great excuse, Jamie, you moron! I can't stand this guy. He's such an arrogant prick! You guys are right: He needs to shut up! Animal cruelty is more than just a legal matter - it's a matter of one's morals. HELLO!

Both men prove that money can't but brains!

So since he may not have known it was against the law, it should be ok? Forget the whole fact that gambeling is illegal, I have seen pictures of those poor animals and only a heartless human could do this to a living creature. Those poor animals suffered immensely. That alone tells you what kind of person Michael Vick is, to sit back, watch and enjoy these animals being torn apart and mutilated. I'm not even mentioning the fact that some of these animals died by his own hands in harsh, cruel ways.

Jaime Foxx is ignorant. He might as well have said "Michael Vick shouldn't be charged because he is black and black people are uneducated."
Posted by: anonymous on 08/24/2007 12:42 PM



I have lost any respect I had for Jaime Foxx. This is not something to try and justify.
Posted by: Anonymous on 08/24/2007 12:44 PM



jesus fucking christ. what michael vick did was so wrong. i'm sick and tired of black people defending him b/c vick is black, and oh yeah, black people think since other black people raise pitbulls to fight it's ok. IT'S NOT OK. not only is this horrible to the dogs that are stuck in this situation, but ALL pitbulls get a bad rep for this. that's why you see so many of them stuck in shelters and people are scared to adopt them. jamie foxx how about you shut the fuck up and donate some money to an animal shelter. fucking idiot.
Posted by: jane on 08/24/2007 12:59 PM



Jane, you shouldn't put all black people in one category. Jamie Fox said that he thought Mike Vick did not know the extent of his actions. That is one black man that said that. I have many black friend and none of them feel the same way Jaime Fox does. So don't lump them into one category. It just makes you sound like a racist. Yes, Mike Vick is guilty. Should he go to jail? Yes. Regardless of what color he is, what he did was wrong. Plain & simple.

i hope he rots in prison and burns in hell.
Posted by: magical on 08/24/2007 02:26 PM



It's a good thing Jamie Foxx wasn't around in the 1960s to undermine the Civil Rights movement by telling America black men are stupid, amoral and totally lacking in compassion. Nice message. I'm sure white supremacists across the continent have stored Foxx's remark in their database of talking points.
Posted by: Canucklehead on 08/24/2007 03:13 PM



Jamie Foxx once agian proofs that he is a total douchbag, a retard and a big stain on humanity. The fact that jamie was even considered for an oscar was the final nail ont he coffin of the academy awards, and his continuos idiotic behavior is only serving for people to think badly about black people in general. Just own up to your mistakes, dont try and blame it all on society and a shitty childhood. FUCK YOU JAMIE
Posted by: Omg on 08/24/2007 04:26 PM



I will NEVER watch a Jamie Fox movie again nor will I listen to his crap music.
Posted by: Maria on 08/25/2007 12:23 AM



Wow...what a way to enhance the image of the black community. Kudos Jamie Foxx, you are a complete tool. Is this the guy that won an oscar? I personally think he should've gotten the nobel peace prize. =/
Posted by: Kiki on 08/25/2007 01:25 AM



Yeah for all of the comments. I was so appalled by Jamie's remarks I was going to leave a scathing comment. However after reading all of these I see that it has all been said already. What a ignorant person he is. I am sad that we ever honored him at all. What a terrible way to use your celebrity. I hope his publicist shows him what people are writing about him. Although he is probably to enamored with himself to care.

Killing an animal for one's self-esteem is reprehensible. Obviously Jamie Fox has not read his handbook (on how to be human). However, Vick is just the tip of the iceberg, there are other professional athletes and rappers doing the same thing. These dogs are not born knowing how to fight, they are taught by low lifes.

What ever happened to having a moral compass in life? You know, the one that's inside you that you feel when you are presented with a choice. The compass says "It is wrong to kill dogs for sport, for gambling, because the aren't good fighters." Black or white, cultural or not, right is right, wrong is wrong and there is no defending a morally compassed wrong. It's black and white and I don't say that in the skin tone sense. Zeros and ones. On or off. Good or bad - that's really what this is. Period. End of discussion. Vick made a bad choice - or series of bad choices - and now he's called on the carpet. Be a MAN (not a black man as a victim of "culture", but a MAN) and serve your time for the poor choices you've made Mike. Come out of this, do some good and see what you can reclaim. But having Hollywood and sport types comment on your behalf, making dumb arsed comments (such a Foxx and Marbury) doesn't help your cause. Call your friends in entertainment land and tell them "Thanks for the support but please keep your mouths shut." On that note, what, exactly does the NAACP have to do with this case? From what I know, their man in Hotlanta made a comment like: "In some instances, I believe Michael Vick has received more negative press than if he would've killed a human being. The way he is being persecuted, he wouldn't have been persecuted that much had he killed somebody." - Dr RL White - Atlanta chapter, NAACP. B and in B, S and in S Dr White. Had Vick killed somebody, he'd sure as hell be much more persecuted. But your 15 minutes of fame has now come and gone - please wait for your next opportune moment to spout more total and absolute garbage. I'm sure the world will wait with bated breath for your next stroke of genius. Mike: Serve your time, learn from your mistakes, teach others what you've learned and be a MAN. You are not a victim in this, you did wrong. Now, come back after serving your time and show the world how to do right.

I have always despised Jamie Foxx - now I know why! He has f***ing idiot written across his head. How the hell do you sit and defend an animal killer!? It's like these people are cut from the same cloth or something! Every single black person turned a blind eye when OJ killed his ex and now the majority of the defenders for this situation are the blacks. I do think they appear more racist than anyone else. Vick is a disgusting human being it doesn't matter if he's black or white. Jamie Foxx is nothing but an arrogant asshole!

We always get into heated topics where I am from.Race is the hottest.What it comes down to is a sport-star committing a crime, and a people who matches his skin color want to ban together and use ancient excuses.I am personally sick of black people,as they seem to be creating hatred towards there own kind.I have black friends who know what I have been thrugh and respect how I feel...If you watch an outbreak movie and what happens is that they quarantine the town then nuke it.Noone gets in or out....so how may times are we going to play that with black people.."Not all of us are the same!"...so you let some in...things go wrong then you can`t blame them,even if you caught them red handed or the rest of the "community" bands together to cause confusion...I grew up with racism and reverse-racism towards me--the latter being the most...What about that B-Ball playa who shot his chauffeur...he got off...Me and my PHD wielding african american best friend agree...we got a word for blacks of that type...N***** rich...aka...ghetoo fabulous...you make money then think to show off illegally...get caught...then hide behind your community.

I can't STAND Jamie Foxx! I just did a search for him on the internet b/c i thought he was extremely arrogant on Daily Show. This guy thinks the WORLD of himself, is racist as hell against anyone who isn't black, and now i find out that he's also all for animal cruelty as long as it's been going on for a while. Who does this ahole think he is? Ray Charles? Get over it, it was just a movie role!
