Jamie Foxx performing his monologue on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ Dec. 8, 2012
In his monologue near the beginning of last night’s episode of NBC-TV’s Saturday Night Live, host Jamie Foxx said that in his forthcoming movie Django Unchained, directed by Quentin Tarantino, Foxx’s character is a former slave who “kill[s] all the white people in the movie. How great is that?” This allusion to mass murder motivated by race hatred was greeted by the audience with delighted laughter and screams of approbation.

Wow, the entire monologue was one long racist (or at least racially obsessed) rant, masquerading as a joke. Truly repulsive. in a sane world this would outrage black and white Americans, but of course it’s unlikely to generate even a ripple of protest.
Well, it’s a former slave who kills all the white people. I’d call that justice! I mean, just because it’s been almost 150 years since over 600,000 mostly white people died so slavery could be abolished, doesn’t mean whitey is off the hook. Because we know that in the history of the world skin color was what determined who were slaves, right? It didn’t? Well, in America it did, so white is not right, history be damned!
