The only way to compare is with them in the same photograph. Romney is tanned, but he's still lighter.

Chris Rock's Election Message to White People
Awww Chris, it's okay, you still have your street cred back in da hood. They all know it's just an act to make whitey vote for Barry right?
I never fell for Chris Rock’s “Nice Guy”
He is a racist Biggot.
and stupid.
Chris Rock is a Punk Bitch.
I agree 100%. I never found “comedians” who use the “N” word all the time very funny either.
Does that mean Romney is blacker than Obama?
These idiots just can’t get color out of their pea sized brains. I love Herman Cain! Palin/Cain was my dream ticket.
You want evidence of it? Just ask yourself why Michelle Obama has been conspicuosly absent from media reports on the campaign trail for the last few weeks ... and why Bill Clinton has magically appeared in the same few weeks to get out there (after having been largely invisible since 2008) and make campaign appearances in predominantly white states like Wisconsin and Minnesota.
If you look at them side by side , their color is pretty close
Actually I liked it. It isn’t exactly complimentary to Barry. What makes it absurd is the assumption that everyone, especially white people, simply vote their race. The audience knows that isn’t true.
good question... and if that is the case, is Chris Rock implying that black people vote for Romney since he seems to be all about voting race...
Chris, you ignorant slut. Don’t you get it? We don’t care how white he is. He is still the biggest DUMBASS to ever inhabit the White House!
Well put.
Color of skin trumps content of character, and ability to do the job?
The only way to compare is with them in the same photograph. Romney is tanned, but he's still lighter.
Chris, vote Romney. It’s all about keeping our country off the pole.
He said so the video.
Actually, 0bama is a lot redder than Romney.
I also have been put off by Chris Rock's blatant racism throughout his career. But this video makes me wonder if when he gets in the voting booth, he won't secretly pull the lever for Romney.
Another great Chris Rock video that he did is How to Not Get Your Ass Kicked by the Police.
Uh, I’m just getting so sick of the focus on skin color by racists like Chris Rock. The only color of Obama’s that I care about at all is the fact that he’s Communist red.
Be assured, if Chris Rock gets in a voting booth, he will be sniffing BO.
Chris, it ain’t about your skin, it’s about your attitude.
We’re not voting for Romney because he’s white. In a contest between a white liberal and a black conservative, the conservative black would get our vote.
100% exactly
I know you're probably right. Still Obama comes off looking pretty bad in this video.
Maybe Chris Rock is just one of those unprincipled outspoken Democrat shills, but only to maintain his street cred.
I mean really, if he were an outspoken conservative, his career would be in the toilet.
I know he'll probably vote for Obama. Still, I don't think this video helps Obama in the election, so it's surprising an Obama supporter would make it, if you ask me.
What do you call people who are absolutely racially obsessed? Racists.
They beleive a whole set of skin deep pride and hate stereotypes and are dumber the average gold fish. Liberals are what they blame everyone else of being - dirty, stupid racists.
Time for them to shut up and go back to the slimey rocks they slithered out from under. They should be held responsible for every wildin’ race attack on whites they inspire. Smash mouth racists.
These jerks are obsessed with race. They are the racists.
Some one tell this spunk a## he’s not funny and never has been.
I appreciate your interpretation, but here is what I saw; Chris Rock convincing “racist” white people to vote for Obama, because after all, Obama plays golf (white country club), body surfing (see, he’s white because he can swim), white grandparents (he’s only half black), last but not least, only two children (perfect white family size). It was full of white stereotyping.
Rock should stfu
Of course, but they're a lot closer in skin tone than a lot of people think. The commenter didn't say there was no difference, just that it wasn't ... well, black and white.
Chris Rock is a comedian. He can be offensive sometimes. Doubtless he supports Obama. He supports Kamau Bell, another, more offensive comedian and got him a show on cable. But this is a comedy bit. People can laugh or not laugh depending on whether they think it's funny, but understand that it's not meant to be wholly serious. We can laugh at him if we can't laugh with him, but the knee-jerk "that's racist" response gets boring whoever says it.
FWIW: Romney Whiter than Obama was the subject of an article earlier in the year. A higher percentage of Mormons are non-White than Lutherans, Episcopalians, Unitarians, or members of Obama's own United Methodist Church are. Most of those non-White Mormons are Latino, rather than Black (or Asian) but it was still surprising to the guy who wrote the article.
I can laugh myself silly looking a wet brick than anything CR says.
Not by much. George Zimmerman and many white people are actually darker than Bozo including my wife’s Sephardic side.
Btw the light is focused on Mitt making him look lighter
Sorry, I should have said Obama was (nominally) UCC, rather than UMC. A higher percentage of Congregationalists are Black than Mormon, but because of the Hispanic Mormons, a higher percentage of Mormons are non-White than Congregationalists.
It is funny and the linked video you have is funny.I could never find the interview he did with Leno right after Michele was there.She had this ugly ill fitting yellow skirt on and Chris was next.He talked about big butts-really funny.
Libs like Rock and Kimmel are stupid enough to think that’s real clever. Other unfunny “comedians” have joked about how white Obama is supposed to be. They’re dumb enought to believe white Americans are looking at skin color the way Rock and other racialists look at skin color. In four years it’s very likely the Dem candidate for prez will not be black. He’ll be Biden or some other knucklehead, white lib. I wonder what Rock will say if Allen West or some other “non-white” is the Pubbie candidate? What would he say?
You said it best.
so, obama is half black, but he’s more white than mitt.
and bill clinton is all white, but we were told at the time he was the first black president.
so petty much they can say anything
Chris also had a funny lecture to the boys in the hood, explaining the difference between being rich and having wealth.
He does these little talks to his folks at the start of many of his appearances.
He has the American flag prominently displayed at the appearances I’ve seen.
He’s edgy and sometimes a bit gross, but I like him.
No, he’s Black, definitely Black. If you didn’t know he had a white mother, you’d think he was all Black.
Chris Rock is a guy who doesn’t use the brain that God gave him.
Maybe. But Obama’s lips are more purple (and he’s more Muslim).
“Lots of black men don’t even believe in straight marriage...” It’s funny don’t take it seriously..
I find his racist remark very predictable. Does he know that Obama’s blood line is only a very small percentage of black? He is half white from his mother, his father was mostly Arab with a small mix of African negro mixed in, “small” mix.
He is a serious fool if he believes Obama cares about black Americans welfare. Does he care for the welfare of any American citizen, NO, IMO.
I’ve been reading a lot of foreign websites about what’s going on in Libya, Benghazi in particular. Obama was chomping at the bit to get a foothold in that country....why? Was it to help the black population? NOPE!
All Americans should dig into what the Obama administration has been doing there, what they are allowing to happen to the black population...HORRIFIC.
SNIPPIT **This new Libyan Feb17 democratic government on the other hand has ethnicaly cleansed 35.000 black Tawargha people. In Benghazi black Libyans were hanged on the lampposts, beheaded and massacred. And we have tones of evidence for these claims right here. One black man was actually hanged DIRECTLY from the window of NTC government headquarters in Benghazi in February, in the video you can see peaceful democratic protesters beheading him with machetas.** MORE: Libyan Rebels Terrorize Black Africans: http://frontpagemag.com/2011/stephenbrown/libyan-rebels-terrorize-black-africans/
if you took that word out of his comedian routine, he’s just be blubbering nonsense....He ain’t no richard pryor. He at least was funny....Now Sinbad is funny and doesn’t hardly ever swear in his routines..
