WOW! Change your perception... say it again for the people in the back! Just listen to him... it makes complete sense. Just listen and VOTE!
The point he made about Democrats being like RnB singers (always wanted to lead and not be in a group) but the Republicans being like a choir was an excellent point. Even when they seem to be doing the wrong thing, they're seen to be more unified as a party.
I totally agree
I have the exact opposite opinion. the democrats all march in a line lock step they don't care if one of theirs is an extremist bigot they all march together unified. the rep party is much more split and much more open to criticizing one another.
I agree
Doing the wrong thing? What are they doing that is considered wrong?
@@heybulldog7133 Three year later. See the clown they chose? Joe Brandon..
I'm a proud sista and I am amazed about how many comments are focused on who Jamie is dating. Being woke doesn't limit who you can love. ONE LOVE✌🏾Jamie came from humble beginnings and is a millionaire but is undeniably a black man in America. People who don't respect their civic responsibility as an American citizen are sleep. The effort, the vote, and the future is important. Therefore your vote counts....your effort counts. You cannot make progress without action. Stop sitting on your hands before someone bounds them because their vote counted.
I get tired of black people complaining about black dating white. It means that America is changing for the better and those racist white people hate it because it's slowing turning for the good
Sorry, I dont have time for these black folks, when they get to the top all they do is look at white women. The thing is, these white women were not supporting his work when he was coming up on Comedy Ded Comedy Jam , it was black folk. These white women wouldnt even have associated themselves with him if he was still doing movies such as 'Booty Call'. He is no different to Sidney Poiter, Earl James Jones, and Harry Belfonte. As soon as they reach the top, they drop black women, make out they are the spokes person for the black cause, then go and lay up with white women, sorry a big contradiction!!!!
If you feel that way then you need to vote Trump. Dont believe the bs the dems are manipulating you into thinking,Trump is the only one that has done anything for black people for the last three presidents. Obama was black AND dem,and he didnt do shit for you.Neither did Clinton who was also a dem. Under Trumps admin the unemployment rate dropped to a much lower rate than when obama was in office and the unemployment rate for blacks was at an ALL TIME LOW. Did obama help put food on your table? Did Clinton help pay your mortgage payment? Hell no! You all need to wake the hell up alright.
What do you call progress?
You better preach!!
Black Americans unity is a must💪💪💪💪!!!

That metaphor about democrats and republicans was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
it is the very first time for me To hear that Dude explaining politics so smartly.i had no clue he was so engaged.i really enjoyed hearing him .Well done sir Foxx
I wasn’t waiting for Jamie Foxx to convince me to vote or not. But much respect to his point of view.
The moment you identify Kim Kardashian as "woke" the meaning of that word is officially shhleep
facts
I just paused the intro to double check if it really was her..... Now i am second guessing if this show is worth watching..
ck3 the3rd I just unsubscribed!!!
Like trump wife
Seriously
I voted and when are we gonna call the flint water incident genocide?
Jamie is extremely smart all jokes aside
I’m ready for another J Foxx comedy special.
It's should be name...it's funny but it's real
Me too man SOOOOO READY!!!!
"Betta blow that shit out". Jamie is the man if you ask me, a triple threat. (Comedian, Actor and Singer/Musician). Won an Oscar and a Grammy the same year.
Ke'Juan Moses damn right
And yet he’s about to do the opposite, hummmm.

You're right Jamie Foxx that's why I say...When you're a bystander watching the police harrassing anyone of race why not STEPUP!! BE THAT VOICE...it matters who you vote for, Because a lot time people pretend a lot...We Need A Nation!!
The only difference between the two major parties is one will use grease the other won't!
I really enjoyed watching this interview. It made me laugh while talking about such serious things. His point of view is so refreshing. Thanks Jamie
Jamie Literally Just Made Me Get Up & Vote Man 😂😂 Great Interview🙏🔥 . Crazy Cause I Was Cleaning This Morning And Found My Texas Voters ID . Never Knew It Existed Since I Moved Here lol 💯
Democrats don't do jack for black people. Trump has done more in 2 years for black americans than Obama did in 8 years.
So he acknowledged that his generation of Black men are not accountable for change. Yes, his daughters are biracial, and heading in the right direction. Mainly because the example regardless of wealth access shows they are the only hope for the future.
Well spoken interview, thank you!
love your voice and your calm focused demeanor.. Amazing bro and gotta see the new movie you just droppped.
Well said guys. We need to change the perception of people, and we need to work on the root of issues.
Jamie did an awesome job during this interview.
🔥🔥🔥🔥Great Damn Interview ✊🏾
who else thought that was DL Hughley for a sec in the thumbnail
Jamie got me laughing hard & still telling the truth at the same time 😂
VOTE! VOTE!! VOTE!!!
Black people have been voting for Democrats since 1964 and before, what has it gotten us.
@@MJ-wi7oo And your solution is ?????
Keep voting for the Democrats and their policies.
@@MJ-wi7oo you can criticize people for voting but don't have a solution to what u think is a problem. 🤣😂🤣
@@MJ-wi7oo love ur sarcasm 😂😂😂👌
JUST VOTE...we will discuss later if jamie is full of bs, if rich black man in hollywood most times go for a light couchie, and than preach us to be woke...but for now JUST VOTE
My brother Jamal Brooks i was thinking the EXACT SAME THING.🤔
We have to uplift our young society because we have allowed these people to convince us to frown and look down on our young people ... Our young people has a lot of courage we to learn how to reach them . We need to learn to talk to them instead of talking at them .
Black people are the only race of people that depend on celebrity direction
Most of these people haven't been broke in decades and are waited on hand and foot if they don't like the service and complain the person serving them is fired immediately no questions asked but they know the struggle 😴 I'll stay sleep if that's woke
Trump is a celebrity . he had a show
@@jimoneprism care to finish the point you intended to make
I guess you've never heard of Taylor Swift.
@velCROhash whoever said they weren't human? They eat, shit and bleed just like everyone else just with more attention and somethimes money doesn't make anything about them more important than the next person... making sense, especially in today's time, is 100% subjective it has no factual foundation it's all emotional... how am I acting that way if I never stated that maybe you should learn about the internet and how commenting works as well as free speech lol you're must be offended I dare not worship other humans because they're noticeable like you... all celebrities have done in the last two years is preach political bullshit and sell everyone who buys it products to stay rich
And since all of you mysterious popped up commenting at the same time let J.Foxx know there is no ill will against him if he was giving party, business financial or comedy advice it wouldn't be any criticism because he's obviously mastered them all but when it comes to politics far too many black celebrities are trying to play middle man mainly for the democratic party to get support when they don't don't do shit but hand black people scooby snacks for being personal attack dogs ... so save the you're just a hater comments because you can't form a legitimate rebuttal for an actual hater
Great interview
Was very interested in hearing Jamie's perspective until i saw Van Jones at the 3 second mark.
I already know how this convo turns out. Not bout to waste my time I'll just go to the comment section and take a glance😂
OMG love Jamie Fox! You've been making me laugh since I was a kid. Thank you.
So typica,l send the celebrities to get the Black people to vote.
I never knew Jamie was so effin indoctrinated
Wow! Not one comment that I could see that talked about Jamie talking about lynching. Lynching is a sensitive issue about which people and communities often refuse to speak even today it seems. I am glad he talked about that for a minute or two. I gain more respect for Van on some of the questions he brought up for discussion. Jamie talked about people's perception on how we see...kind of deep...
I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time.
is jamie foxx even black anymore??
yep
@@sweetmama9968 lol why? because he dates Becky? don't be mad, explain how he is a sell-out convince me please I don't have anything against the man live your life how you see fit
@@sweetmama9968 Wow, you are jealous ass hell and thirsty at the same time. Congratulations, you are the 1% of Black Americans that are dumb & ignorant as shit. And btw Black is a color not an ethnicity. Go look up and research your heritage instead of going off of a damn color that was made up by the 1% of colonizers in America to label and divide and conquer people.
These ppl like Jamie Foxx is far from living tbe life of a black man.
#jamiefoxx But your message is heard and we need people like you to keep doing what you are doing. Love always.
Be aware of the trolls who DON'T WANT you to vote DEMOCRAT to MAKE A REAL change.
d boy get money Trolls are irrelevant.
Democrats are the change? I think you should educate yourself on the history of the Democratic Party. Blacks were historically Republican up until the civil rights era. Nevertheless, I think both parties are corrupt and self serving.
A lot of Black people was killed during Democratic terms...Democrats isn't our friend either
@@christianboyd2124 they are more for the people than rePUBElicans
Democrats don't do jack for black people. Trump has done more in 2 years for black americans than Obama did in 8 years.
There meaning of woke has been turned upside down
Much Love but please, "There" and "Their" have their proper place. We are exceptional people, let's reflect it!
Tony Elder we are exceptional people?
@@sonnd44 Yes exceptional being defined as good, outstanding etc..Most just don't recognize and reflect "their" greatness.
What's being woke?
Good interview and insightful comments...

You can love who you want to love. Live your own life.
Watch how Van straighten up quick at 13:17 😆😆😆😐🤔
My son is going to be a pilot........🖤🖤🖤🖤
Awesome.
I am never asked for my ID yesterday all that was required is that my signature looked the same as it did ten years ago or and it doesn’t.
@9:53 hahahah ok ...expound please
Two black men who have chosen to leave the black race to procreate, share their life and love with!
But they talking about woke
Lol 😂 what do you mean leave the black race? You can’t leave 😂
Why because they dated 2 white women.
Pleeeeeease🤪
Yes.... Jamie is talking Black and sleeping white..... and another one ☝️
Ok and you're point is 🤔 (can't wait to hear this one) 🙄 Question, is your supervisor at your job "white"? Is the person who owns your bank "white"? The dealership you got your vehicle from is owned by "whites" I'm sure, and so on and so forth. Now, before you get offended and try to belittle me just educate me on what your comment really means so I can have a full, clear, and unbiased perspective..thanks 🙃
Exactly! Same with the host Van Jones!
Krush Lennon The reasoning behind the OP statement is quite obviously
Krush Lennon apparent. You just don’t want to admit it
who he's sleeping with doesnt change who he is you love who you relate to smh not the color that the dumbish that keeps peps seperated
@5:15 "Did all of you guys vote?" , "Not this time".
Good dialogue...
This was a great interview. Funny, informative, concise and black #revolt
Calvin Williamson nope.
@@hrwatchinpuff6551 whatchu mean nope?
Smdh. A lot of excuses for not voting in this comments section...
Queen Glory Speaks fucking facts. And complaining about criminal justice laws when we have the power to vote these people out
didnt hear any reasons to vote in the damn interview either
I agree. Ignorant
Russian bots ...
I just called him the rnb Tupac before watching now that I watched I stand on it even more
Jamie is one funny brotha bless him
I love how Van didn't overtake the interview like some interviewers do. I enjoyed every minute of this. Jamie was spot on.
It's a joke...... but it's real......
I like the Jamie Foxx approach, take the name out and let people pick base on the policy, I told my mother the same thing and she said even though she did not agree with her but she start to see who was the better candidate.
First off I want to thank Ben Jones and Jamie Foxx putting out this informative way of reaching across the political lines I like the way you to have handled yourselves without being political or choosing a side... Now for all of you that are being decisive talkin trash or bring people down instead of actually catching the message it shows your true traits for the racist divisive or just a knucklehead I feel sorry for you... My black and my Spanish Brothers we can't complain about all voice if we stay silent we always let them control everything instead of speaking up and controlling our own narrative example look at clothing lines even though a lot of Brands don't want to admit it if it wasn't for black people people of color there would be no Style so your opinion does matter however there's not enough of us to just care about it and actually take advantage of the opportunity to change the narrative peace stay woke
Van Johnson not Ben..
He's married to dayum Katie holmes..miss me
Very ironic these 2 are talking about woke but dont have black wives or kids
I love Jamie and he has a great spirit but watching this is a little cringe worthy because at this point we can't afford to joke that much about matters that literally can mean life or death concerning the general population ESPECIALLY people of color 🤷🏾♂️🙄✊🏾
Democrats don't do jack for black people. Trump has done more in 2 years for black americans than Obama did in 8 years.
sleepio23 name it please and don’t say unemployment rate cause that is an after effect of Barack’s presidency.
@@Thisdudehere-e6n It's cute how you still give Obama credit 3 years later. LOL. But how about the First Step Act? Major prison reform that every black community is praising. Opportunity Zones in inner cities where $1 billion will be invested. He has given more money to Historically Black Colleges HBC's than any other president. I know you won't care about these FACTS. The TV tells you to hate him, so you do.
I love you Jamie and bringing up all the issues you're bringing up are good to talk about so sad that everybody's here focusing on who you're sleeping with some trivial ass shit instead of the important stuff you have to say. But press on brotha!
Teach Jame. If we don't stand up for something we'll fall for anything.
Katie Holmes put Jamie Fox in a sleeper hold. He's not woke.
he's wide awake
cedric lashar
Nope. Bro code, sista code the worse. He’ll wake up he’s a southerner, from my mouth 2 God’s 👂 he’s in my prayers.

😂😂😂😂
Can’t sleep white and talk black. Nice try though......
how in the hell who he sleeps with effects you?
Listen to his stereotypical mimicry of black women. Jamie is a self hater
I was wondering when somebody was going to notice that you have 2 black men talking about woke, but neither is with a black woman and both have biracial kids. Jist very interesting and ironic
@@ecclairmayo4153 Isn't this the point he was making? I mean, I assume we all agree with what he said. Why are you questioning the credentials of a man who is saying (what I assume is) something you agree with? It seems like every one is being programmed to hate each other. Even the people you would ostensibly agree with. If the message is good, which this message obviously is, why undercut it? It makes no sense.
He is spot on what he said about the lady on the plane.
How could u not like this
Both Van Jones and Jamie Foxx are both dating white women. This is a joke for them to talk black, but sleep white!
Jamie isn't dating a white women. Once again, focus is off. They are trying to give us the meal, but we only want the crumbs.
ADeara Bianchi I understand what you’re saying, but he is. He’s with Katie Holmes, they just got engaged.
👏🏽👏🏽👌🏾
Isnt Van and his wife in process of divorce ?
... white women are like a drug. It’s hard to resist them.
It’s something in the psyche... even old wrinkly ones have a certain attractiveness about them. Really fascinating.
Both sleeping w or married w. hypocrisy.
Who you date doesn't make you more or less your etnicity.
I thought this was about jamie foxx the actor from kingsman and I clicked
So interesting.....
MR Fox is making some very good points. A lot of crying and belly aching but no voting.
Because a millionaire really knows what its like... sur
You beat me to it
He wasn't always a millionaire but he's always been black in America. Not to mention, before he became Jamie Foxx, dude is just a music nerd named Eric Bishop who grew up in rural Texas with a serious overbite! 😂😂😂 Shit if anybody has a lifetime of experience with prejudice and hate speech and violence it'd be him. Trust! I haven't finished watching the vid yet, but he may tell the story of when he was chased down and beat up by a bunch of racist kids and they were throwing rocks at him from school all the way home. Smdh shit gets and sometimes stays too real! Unfortunately.
FACTS. ugh. the judgement and sensitivity these days is so damn real. When you have someone who is saying things you don't necessarily want to hear...hate,hate,hate. lol
@@Brownie8986 how long ago was in living color? Almost 30 years ago?
@@homeboymcjewerson456 Let's see...that was...92, 91 so yeah about 27 or 26 years. Something like that! ☺ Definitely classic tv! Edit: had to check. 1990 actually first episode! He's definitely paid his dues! ❤💖❤
My guy 👏🏽
Van Jones opened up saying that people don't know what to do, they're freakin out, etc.,. Let me say this, folks in Harlem are not freaking out, if Mr. Jones has been to Harlem lately he would know this and he would know that Harlem will handle whatever needs to be handled! Mr. Jones has to do what Alabama football coach Nick Saban always says, "You got to get your mind right," then you can handle anything, Mr. Jones!
hypocrite come on Jamie bye-bye
Excuse me,are you dating a Caucasian?Katie Holmes.
Lol ironic thst the host doesnt date black wmwn either, but they saying the woke. Hahahha
Malcolm gladwell does an excellent job of explaining exactly what Jamie Foxx is talking about, with the research to back it up.
That comment about Blacks' reaction on a first airplane flight is hilarious...but true! Ask me. I have done the same thing. Jamie Foxx is more than just a comedian and actor, he clearly has insight into what is going on in America.
I'm officially inlove with this man yes Jamie Fox can get it ok...
Sherice Davis ...he’s loves Becky...and a side of man ass.
I love Jamie Foxx as an actor, but he don't know what he is talking about he's just talking. None of these candidates have a black agenda no black agenda no black vote. And they got some nerve trying to hijack the woke movement with this stupid be woke vote nonsense.
mtta24.. Sounds more like the Stay Sleep & Be Sheep movement to me..

Yup very ironic that they talking about being woke but they children are all biracial. Very interesting
Says the guy who goes with the most ghastly pale cave Becky, Tom cruise ex
As a white person I get total denial when i try to have the conversation about racism in the United States.
Jammie came here looking like shierff Clark!😁
Both of them are woke with white women how does that work
Being woke doesn't have anything to do with who u love being woke means being aware of any situation that is going on in our world with our government and many others. Anytime you focus on who a person love because of skin color you are being racist
it doesn't😁
Nawww Hillary was. Not a good choice nor was Donald....
I'm from Seattle. I vote from home.
And Proud!
What your point jamie, u sleeping with a white wonan
The host is too. Its ironic they talking about woke, when they both never date black women or have kids with one
Jamie fox is a sell out in the worst of ways
Leehm Grey facts
He’s telling the truth
Powerful words!
Jamie Foxx is freaking hilarious!
Really you have a white daughter and a white girlfriend REALLY!!!
