Billy Ray: 'Nothing Funny' About Foxx's Miley Rant

Billy Ray Cyrus stands up for miley cyrus after jamie foxx rant

Billy Ray Cyrus is standing up for his daughter! The singer/actor says Jamie Foxx's rant about Miley went too far.

On Thursday's "Bonnie Hunt Show," Cyrus says, "It was hurtful. There wasn't nothing (sic) funny about it. And, quite frankly, I think if I said those things about his daughter, he might not find it so comedic."

During an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Foxx publicly apologized for the derisive comments he made about Miley on his Sirius Satellite Radio show. "The Soloist" star explained to Leno, "Sometimes as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far." He continued, "Miley, I apologize, so I'll call you."

Why is a Volvo better than a Tricycle? Solid steel frame. Why does a fiber-glass framed Corvette break into pieces when in a collision? It’s by design. It’s not designed to hold up under extreme pressure! Why is a Hispanic woman a better judge than a White man? By design,purely designed,check the Man-ufacturer!

To ‘There is no fairness here’: FORGET about any more hub-bub surrounding the so-called ‘comedian’ foxx. The ‘powers that be’ have made sure to bury it quick, so they can leave room for important things like lingerie ads, or any other egregious sin that a ‘conservative’ might commit. As for your comment, white people, or as I PREFER,the more accurate, European-Americans, have to protect themselves(in a perfect world, everyone would be expected to do the same). Apparently, everyone else believes that Euro-Americans are the only ones capable of doing so, since all other groups all have their ‘guardians’, or minions, crybabies, and self-appointed protectors (sitters). I think that is very condescending, by the way. I’d be insulted, that there were those who think I’m so weak and fragile, that I need constant help in defending who I am. It’s unfortunate, but it has been set up that way. I myself do not adhere to such lunacy; everyone has the capacity to ignore, defend, fight, whine, complain, or just let things go. And THAT’S how I treat everyone - with the same respect that I expect to be given. I’ve never had one problem with anyone I’ve had the pleasure to know from any group, culture, preference, or demographic.

Ok, NAACP protects black people, the RAINBOW COALITION protects gay people, who or what group protects the white people? There is nobody, and that is a travesty. There should be fairness across the board, there isn’t. Can someone please tell me who or what group protects white people.

Notice the CLASS with which Billy Ray Cyrus conducted his distaste for foxx’s comment. No lawyers. No ‘spokepeople’. No rabble-rousers. No name-calling.No front-page news threats.Just an honest appeal, letting him know that HE also has a daughter, and wouldn’t enjoy someone commenting on her. Think back a little now, at some of the other, similar cases — notice the DIFFERENCE?????


- there you have it

Jamie Foxx IS COLORED AND is racist. END OF STORY. PERIOD. According to the NAACP title, that is the correct term to call Jamie Foxx, “COLORED”.


- Jamie Foxx COLORED AND is racist. END OF STORY. PERIOD.

We’re ALL children of God - including Michael Richards, Don Imus, Isaiah Washington, Kelis,Mel Gibson, Jesse Jackson,jamie foxx, etc. It just seems like some (above) perpetrators of hate comments are swept under the carpet, while others are seemingly banished from society - EVEN AFTER MANY APOLOGIES THAT ARE DEMANDED, only to be rejected. Meanwhile, I didn’t buy FOXX’S ‘apology’. He made a sarcastic joke out of it, and absolutely no one has a problem with it; he’s on TV, “”“mentoring”“” of all things!!!!, going on talk shows,and hawking his movie, the next week or so. Anyone who doesn’t see this as prejudice in itself, is merely turning a blind eye to it.

In my lifetime, and in my experience, the ‘black folk’I know of have NEVER been afraid to say what’s on their minds (if they are, they always have the id sharpie to put words in their mouths, and negative thoughts in their minds). If foxx’s rant, however, is an indication of what’s on HIS mind, he should PROBABLY keep his gross, inappropriate mouth shut. THAT’S what MY comments are about. I’m tired of the double standard, which, by the way, I find condescending and patronizing to ‘black folk’, if you really stop to think about it. If you don’t understand, perhaps I can explain it to you.


- why CAN'T he be racist?

I thught black people didn’t like to be called “colored”, yet it is on NAACP title.

So now black people are “COLORED”? What’s up with that?

For days now, people have been using this Comment Page for: ranting, raving, venting, calling Jamie Foxx everything except a Child of God…but tell the truth about what “racism” really is and how it doesn’t weigh in on this topic and what happens? Nothing! Why? You can’t handle the truth!

When a 16 year old child is allowed to move her 20 year old boy-friend into her home, the innocence factor diminishes. In comedic stylings, the intent is not vicious (as is evidenced by the apology). Where there is vicious intent, there are no apologies, simply dumbfounded affets (facial expressions).

Black folk got tired of being scared to speak out when being verbally. physically, emotionally, and psychologically abused. So as a community, they organized and declared “no more!” Whites are just beginning to get abused, when they get tired, they’ll do the same. Right now they are still in shock.

I am so outraged, I can’t even think right now. Is this true? Why is it, then, that European-Americans have to ‘grin and bear it’, rise above it, ignore it, and forgive and forget, when any kind of insult is hurled at THEM?!?!?!? Yet, if that same European-American is the voice of ANY insult aimed at ANY OTHER group outside of ‘his own’, you can hear the nooses tightening all over the country, sharpton and jackson and whomever else w/ too much time on their hands, come slithering out of the woodwork to beat it into the ground (and are allowed free reign to do so)til even THEY’RE sick of hearing about it?? You know fuoxx’s (intentional misspell)punishment? Being A M-E-N-T-O-R on American IDol, and plugging his movie all over TV, incl. the Tyrable show. Justice for ALL? I think not.

When child stars are under 18 yrs, I have a big problem with it.

Jamie’s face is a donkey’s a*s and he was wrong in verbally insulting a kid.

SHE IS A KID, DO YOU COMPRENDE? DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? kIDS ARE OFF LIMITS.

- malisah. You’re perpetuating what’s been shoved down your throat from a time sooooo long ago - take a look around, use your eyes and your brains, and realize those bad days are gone, and follow your own advice - it’s 2009 - grow the hell up

Where the hell were you when Don Imus lost his job over “nappy headed ho’s” then?

“blacks need a break every now and then”

So tell me, what exactly has Jamie Foxx been punished with?

Michael Richards, and Don Imus walk around with a scar called “racist”,.. suppose Jamie will have that same fate?

You may or may not be “racist”. But you are indeed BIAS.


- LMAO @ malisah
