On Sunday night when Jamie Foxx came on the stage at the Soul Train
Music Awards, the audience knew they were in for some laughs and giggles
but this time the comedian and Academy Award winning actor got both
some laughs and some angry frowning faces. Some Christians did not think
it was funny when the actor referred to President Obama as “our lord
and savior”.
Foxx uttered the seemingly harmless words as joke but he seems to
have offended some Christians who believe that an elected official
should not be likened to “our lord and savior”.
The BET network must not have had any problems with Foxx’s comments
because they used them in a preview of the Soul Train Music Awards show.
Foxx said, about President Obama,
“It’s like church over here. It’s like church in here. First of all, give an honor to God and our lord and savior Barack Obama.”
Foxx is not the first to imply that Black people seem to perceive
President Obama as their “savior”. President Obama has been referred to
as “the messiah” and “the second coming of Jesus” by many so one might
be confused as to why Jammie Foxx is facing such a negative backlash.
