Can someone give me one good reason why he's hated?


I haven't watched one interview with him, and haven't watched a whole lot of movies of him. I didn't even watch his Oscar winning role. I think he did good as Electro, really good. I also think he seems he'll do great in Annie. I have heard a lot of bad stuff about him lately. I'm not saying you're wrong or anything. I just want to hear a trustworthy reason. What he say or do? Someone who has watched multiple interviews and films of him. I'm just curious.

He has a big mouth and is also a racist. Anyone who says a race is superior to another race is a textbook racist. That's the definition of the word.

He also said that black people gave the world Michael Jackson.

Had a white person said similar things, they would have been labelled a racist and blacklisted. Whites have had similar treatment for saying less.

He is also rumored to be difficult to work with. Per wikipedia:

"Foxx was also characterized as unpleasant to work with. He refused to fly commercially, forcing Universal to give him a private jet. He also wouldn't participate in scenes on boats or planes. After gunshots were fired on set in the Dominican Republic on October 24, 2005, Foxx packed up and refused to return; this forced Mann to re-write the film's ending, which some crew members characterized as less dramatic than the original.[2] Foxx, who won an Academy Award after signing to do Miami Vice, was also reputed to complain about co-star Farrell's larger salary, which Foxx felt didn't reflect his new status as an Oscar winner; consequently, reports Slate: "Foxx got a big raise while Farrell took a bit of a cut." Slate also reported that Foxx demanded top billing after winning an Oscar."

He is a racist piece of *beep*

You can say that's not a good reason but you can't say he isn't racist. UMM. I suppose you could say that he isn't a piece of *beep* I just threw that in there. I have no proof that he is actually *beep* Just my opinion.

BUT HE IS RACIST.

So *beep* him.

Well, there is no such thing as race superior to a race and if anyone thinks that then they are dumb. But did he really say he hates white people? He works with them all the time. Plus, I'm pretty sure Michael Jackson gave himself to the world, so Jamiee is wrong with that also. I am going to have to disagree with you on the whites having a similar treatment for saying less, because white people have said a lot also, especially in the past. But you know, you'll find different racists of different races, equal amount. But I must say, he is a pretty good actor, probably not a nice person but yeah. I respect your opinion. And thanks for the info!

The world would have been better off without Jacko. Y'all can have him. Terrible singer, even worse human being. Him dying was a great day for humanity.

After Durango, when asked what he liked best in filming it, " I got to kill white people" ...
He's made tons of statements like that.. But, he's going to figure out where his bread is buttered, his career has taken a definite downturn.
Yay!!

sooo.... you hate him because you're a suspected white supremacist who thinks black people are capable of being racist.
