Jamie Foxx Explains Trayvon Martin T-Shirt at BET Awards

It's no secret that Jamie Foxx is a passionate man, but, when it comes to Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old who was fatally shot in Sanford, Fla., on February 26, 2012, Foxx's passion is on another level. The "White House Down" actor attended the BET Awards Sunday night and made a real statement by walking the red carpet in a T-shirt, screen printed with the teen's face on the front.

So, when the actor stopped by to chat with "omg! Insider" co-anchor Kevin Frazier and special correspondent Michelle Williams before the show, he talked about why he decided to wear the shirt and why it was incredibly personal.

"The reason for the shirt is that I met his mom personally. So my thing is, it's not political, it's not left, it's not right, it's not black, it's not white, this is about the kid," Foxx said. "And so, 17 year old kid, I think he should be able to go home to where his father worked, to get into a nice place and that tragic thing happened ? for all of us, no matter what color you are. I have kids [one who is] 19. I have a kid who's 4. You want to protect them."

This isn't the first time the 45-year-old actor has publically shown his support for Trayvon and his family. For the April MTV Movie Awards, he donned a tee with the faces of Martin and the children killed in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting, with the phrase "Know Justice, Know Peace" on the front. He also attended the protest commemorating the one-year anniversary of Martin's death in New York City back in February.

Check out this vid to see what else the "White House Down" actor told "omg! Insider" about his clothing decision, and for more red carpet coverage from Sunday night's BET Awards, tune in to "omg! Insider" on television tonight.

Jamie Fox = celeb attention whore on a soapbox.

"The reason for the shirt is that I met his mom personally. So my thing is, it's not political, it's not left, it's not right, it's not black, it's not white, this is about the kid,"

Oh bullshit. This is about getting attention and stirring the mess up. He doesn't even know the facts of the trial yet!

Make a statement? ? Wear this kids photo on your shirt.

Jamie Foxx is kind of a douche. I always thought he looked mildly retarded.

Jamie Fox is nothing more than a clown for our entertainment and amusement...

yeah rich and with talent :1orglaugh

you make a shirt and wear it. how much have you sent? zero :1orglaugh

What photo did Foxx use? This one from Martin's twitter account "@NO_LIMIT_NIGGA" showing off his gold teeth? No ?.. probably not.

does having gold teeth mean you should be killed? or stalked? do you see a hoodie in that pic?? your clueless :2 cents:

Of course it doesn't. You know exactly the point I'm making.


.

Nope, it doesn't. Just one question - how does Lpink (or everyone else) know that this photo was not used? :1orglaugh

Because the agenda calls for a photo from far simpler and innocent times???


.

what is he doing wrong in that photo?

Come on man ?? He's got 3 different design Trayvon shirts he's wearing to public appearances. If Trayvon was white Foxx wouldn't be wearing any of them and you know it.

Nothing. Why is Lpink sure that Jamie Fox did not use it though? :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh why would he care it was white foxx? do you care that a black kid was chased down and killed? nope :2 cents:

I looked it up (shocking I know) He's got 3 different designs and is wearing them to various functions.

I wonder if Carlos Mencia is wearing a Zimmerman shirt?


.

He was black thug (future or even current trouble to society), not black kid. Guns, crimes and drugs are not for kids.

Unfortunately that would not be politically correct, I mean poor kid is dead...

Actually "(current)" would be a dead teenager.

Darts :disgust

The white man's anger is large in this thread.

.

what gave you a clue they were angry? :helpme :1orglaugh kind of reminds me of that old lady at a mccain hall meeting called obama a arab :1orglaugh

Angry??? No. Amused? Yes.


.

celebs don't live in the real world and opinions they have are usually complete bullshit. In my opinion, celebs should shut the fuck up and entertain, most smart celebs do exactly that

Obama Arab? According to the current classification of Zimmerman as White Hispanic, Obama is obviously White African American.


.

your full of shit dude. :2 cents: if you saw obama crawling out of your window with your nice little guns (you saw him clear as day) your going to say to the police "he was White African American" their going to check your eyes and smell your breath. :2 cents: :1orglaugh White African American is a government term jeez :Oh crap

Ahhh ?.. it was obviously a joke about our media's reporting.

This picture sums up this entire case... all media bullshit to distract us from the real problems while also stirring racial tensions.

What an awesome and valuable culture American blacks attend to these days. Its seriously intelligent.

Btw, BrassMonkey I really think your avatar is badass man :)
