Jamie Foxx has revealed that he finds himself facing racial challenges in everyday situations of his life. The African American actor explained during an interview with Vibe magazine that he is always sensitive about his skin colour. Jamie, 45, admitted that 'Every single thing in my life is built around race'. He told Vibe magazine: 'Cause as black folks we're always sensitive. As a black person it's always racial. 'I come into this place to do a photo shoot and they got Ritz crackers and cheese. 'I'll be like, ain't this a b***h. Y'all didn't know black people was coming.' In the same vein he explained that if he turned up to the photo shoot and there was fried chicken and watermelon, he would also be annoyed at the stereotype.

Yes Africans are very tribal and if Jamie Foxx moved there he belongs to no tribe so is shut out. A local activist here retired from some Gov’t job then moved to Africa like he had been threatening to do for years. He sunk his money into a chicken farm. But it turned into a money losing disaster because business is done along tribal lines and he was a rich American outsider. He was begging people for the return plane fare

See that show “Jungle Gold”? These two American hotshots go to Ghana to mine gold and make their fortune. Guess who was in Ghana and digging in more than few places and who screwed them out of one claim —— THE CHINESE!!!

Definitely he will convert the tennis courts into a basketball court. Just in case his lord and savior Barrack Obama and Reggie Love are in the neighborhood

I liked Jammie Foxx in “Ray Charles” but I am never going to pay to see anything he is in. Denzel Washington is the only black actor I like. Jeffrey Wright too...very cool dude. Morgan Freeman....annoying.
