Jamie Foxx: my racism hell

Actor reveals childhood bullying torment

Jamie Foxx has talked about the racism he experienced growing up in a small town in Texas.

'I had to go to school on the white side of town,' he tells the Daily Record. 'They would call you "n*****" or run you out of their town.'

'You got used to it, but you never really understood why it was that way.'

Even though Jamie has gone on to be a massive star, both in films and in music, he claims his local paper still refuses to acknowledge his achievements.

'I have never appeared in my local newspaper,' the star says.
