Singer/musician Jamie Foxx has admitted that he found himself falling into the same racist ways as the rich white folk who tormented him as a child. Foxx used to hustle as a kid by playing piano at posh parties in Texas. “When I was 15, I went to play the piano for this white guy’s Christmas party in Texas,” Foxx said. But when he and a friend showed up at the client’s mansion, the host stopped them, saying, “I can’t have two n****** in my house at one time.” Foxx said he started doing the same thing to white people when he found fame, and setting a ‘quota’, but he changed his mind when friends warned him: “Don’t fall into that same trap.”
