Howard put Jamie Foxx on blast and this is the best Jamie can respond? Jamie might as well come on out of the closet now. It will not look good 7-10 years later when he is forced out. For all of his talk on the Foxxhole show about what “real n()ggas” do, this certainly ain’t it. Howard Stern issued a challenge and Jamie punked out by responding with this weak public service announcement. Jamie, if you’re not gay and have nothing to hide then go on Howard’s show!!!
jamie foxx simply said he’s “not gay”.
he said not one negative word about the gays.
you trash try to create problems and race issues where there is nothing.
so much dishonesty and lack of self-knowledge up in here!
I always have a laugh when I see those black men with their music videos surrounding themselves with half-naked females to prove they’re heterosexual. LOL. What losers!
jason, you give “gay” people a bad name when you go on and on about Black people.
you are clearly jealous of Our cultural ascendency!
jamie fox goes out of his way all the time to acknowledge his gay fans and friends, to say he appreciates them and respects them.
please don’t depend on sites like queerty for information about Black culture.
joe.my.god. is a much more respectful, respected, fact-based gay site, for instance.
lose the insecurity and pull your head out of the sand.
you sound so dumb.
I’m an independent thinker. I don’t belong to the gay collective. I don’t belong to any collective, actually.
I am sick and tired of black men proving how heterosexual they are. You only had to listen to how Jamie Foxx sneered “I’m not gay” to realize where he stands on gay issues.
I just don’t like sleazy, homophobic men. Black men, in particular, have some serious issues, and are often very homophobic towards men.
Also, where are all the subversive blacks? Black culture seems to be steeped in conservative notions – ie black men singing about being heterosexual, black women singing about pleasing heterosexual men.
Black culture is incredibly socially conservative. It’s about time someone pointed it out.
My personal dislike for Howard Stern blinds me to any other issue. I have no idea if Jamie Foxxx is str8, gay or bi, & to be honest I dont care. Stern’s shock value / ratings are *all* he cares about, not journalism or integrity or LGBTQ rights, or antisemitism or racism.
if someone is aware of JF being homophobic please provide references. If anyone knows of HS supporting LGBQ rights or people, then I’d like to know when & where.
As far as i can tell, HS looks like the doofus here, not JF.
Howard Stern was respectfully having openly gay people on his show in the 80s. Look at his early 90s interview with Boy George where he treated him and his relationship issues completely normally.
People underestimate how famous he is and how much he knows about other famous people. Jamie Foxx’s show didn’t understand his comments about Gadbourey Sidibe so they went after him with all the criticisms they’ve heard for years. Actually, Howard goes on the offensive in particular when Robin is insulted and they really went after her.
The bottom line is: do straight men take IPhone picks of themselves buck naked in the bathroom mirror and hold onto them like they want to be in Playgirl?
H. Stern thrives on brutal honesty–both about himself and others. He regularly has openly gay people on his show (google George Takei and Rosie O’Donell for example). Foxx sounds a little tad defensive.

“Black Culture” is not some monolithic thing. You need to check yourself.
Be an independent thinking bout read a freaking history book or newspaper every once in a while.
gangsta rappers (to the extent that they even still exist) don’t represent all of “Black Culture” anymore than Radical Fundamentalist Christians represent all of “White Culture”
Straight White Men over 40 still control this country and Straight White Men over 40 are still overwhelmingly more conservative and homophobic than any other “group” (regardless of whom the president happens to be)
Black Activists have a LONG history of being socially and politically progressive and NOT just with regard to issues that specifically address Black people.
Black Fundamentalist Christians have a LOT more in common with White Fundamentalist Christians than they do with black gay folks or black progressive folks except the experience of being discriminated against because of their race.
It’s just race-baiting nonsense to pretend that because SOME rappers/hip hop/reggae artists are homophobic and hyper-masculine that somehow represents the sentiments of all Black people or Black Culture or even Black Musical tradition.
In the US, the number one determining factor in terms of predicting an identifiable group’s perspective regarding gay rights and homosexuality is RELIGION.
Fundamentalist Christianity (not Black Culture) is the bane of all gay people’s existence in this country.
Conservative anti-gay religious beliefs cross all races, ethnicities and political and economic lines.
The Fundamentalist Christian movement in this country is still primarily controlled and run by Straight White Men over 40.
Fundamentalist Christianity has done more behind and in front of the scenes to harm gay people and the gay rights movement than Hip Hop ever could or will.
I’m sure someone else could bother to list the hundreds of Black musical artists who are progressive and gay positive or the hundreds of white male musicians who are sexist and homophobic and surround themselves with naked women.
It is not only black people and for you to just say it is them, makes you look racist.
I have had many of white people say very bad things about gays. I have had many black people who are straight, tell me it is okay to be gay and that they support gay marriage.
You can’t look at race and make a judgment like that. It is just as ignorant as people who think AIDS only happens to gay people.
IT SEEMS SOME OF US HERE ARE ON OPERATION-BASH BLACK PEOPLE.WHY DO SOME PEOPLE JUST GET SO HOT UNDER THE COLLAR WHEN IT COMES TO BLACK PEOPLE…………THE INTERNET HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETELY TAKEN OVER BY ILLITERATES,I THINK…….
ONE CAN’T JUST GENERALISE ABOUT 30 MILLION PEOPLE……..THAT EVEN MORE THAN SOME COUNTRY’POPULATION
WHY ARE PEOPLE CALLED mojojojo SO IGNORANT AND ILLITERATE….NO WONDER U GAVE YOURSELF SUCH A NAME…..IF U HAVE MOJO,THEN U WOULDN’T BE DOING ALL YOUR BRASH TALKING FROM YOUR MOTHER’S BASEMENT……GET SOME EDUCATION AND TRAVEL A OUTSIDE YOUR CONTINENT
HOWARD STERN SOUNDS LIKE IT’S A CRIME TO BE GAY.HOW DOES JAMIE FOXX STANDING UP FOR SIDIBE RELATES TO HIS SEXUALITY…..THAT’S A LOW BLOW.HOWARD STERN IS NOW PUSHING IT
Why all the talk about Howard Stern bashing G. Sidibe? Clearly, some of you don’t know that Jamie bashed her too. He referred to her as the Notorious Gabourey (a reference to Biggie Smalls, the rapper). So, Jamie can’t claim the rights to defending Gabourey since he dogged her out too. So hypocritical.
So it’s perfectly okay for Foxx to call teenage girl (Miley Cyrus) a slut and a ho, but Stern is the “debbil” for pointing out the obvious? That’s girl has an ass like a water buffalo, and she fell into the role of a lifetime with “Precious”. She’ll do some work in the industry, but she’s never gonna be a mega star. She’s friggn’ fat. Let’s call a spade a spade.
Of course, Foxx can say with a straight face that he isn’t “gay”. Being a black man that occasionally likes to blow your buddies doesn’t make you “gay”…it makes you on the “downlow”.
Foxx’s comments about Cyrus were way more offensive than Howard’s about bubble butt.

Just another example of the rampant homophobia of the black community

Completely.

Howard should spill whatever he’s got, then Jamie can explain that he wasn’t lying when he said he wasn’t gay, since he’s bi.

Why does Howard get to judge people like this?….he only cares about himself…..
