Jamie
Foxx Admits Racial Prejudice
12/13/05
Actor Jamie Foxx once refused to let more than one white person in his
house at any time - because he was so fed up of being treated as a second
class citizen because of his colour.
The Collateral
star admits a racist incident when he was a teenager irked him so much he
spent the next few years bitterly seeking revenge on white people.
He relates, "When I was 15, I went to play the piano for this
white guy's Christmas party, but when me and a friend showed up we were
told, 'I can't have two n**gers in my house at one time.'"
Foxx had to send his pal home despite the fact he had driven Foxx all
the way there, reports The New York Daily News.
Since then he started restricting white numbers at his party in a
similar manner, telling pairs of guests, "You all will have to make a
decision between you two."
On his friends' advice Foxx recently changed his entrance policy, but
he jokes that even at his most embittered he never set a limit on white
women.
