My favorite Chris Rock moment is when he is telling his mixed audience about the differences between black people and niggers. Yeah, I said it.
He said black folks are ordinary decent people. Niggers are those who commit crimes. I quote:
“Niggers want to break into your house and take your stuff and steal your money. You want to save your money? Put it in your books! Because niggers don’t read! Go up to a nigger and say, here’s a book. They’ll go like Dracula, aghhhh, get that book away from me!!”
Now flash back to 1962. My Dad was stationed in Korea, he was a brigade commander. He told me his best staff officer happened to be black and then told me never to judge someone by the color of his skin. This black captain told my Dad the exact same thing that there are two kinds of blacks.
I hold to this day Dr. King’s lesson about judging a man by the content of his character, alone.
I don’t know, maybe Chris Rock feels he has to go with the flow to go on working in show business.
Another funny Chris Rock bit:
You know if you’ve noticed, there’s no good black dirty magazines. You know, white guys have all the good dirty magazines: Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler...You know, all black guys have is Players Magazine, the worst porno mag ever. First of all the pictures aren’t even in focus, okay, this a bunch of pictures of black girls sittin’ on the toilet, you know. You know Playboy, you know, the girls are all air brushed. You don’t see any marks whatsoever.
You get Players, you know the girls you got stretch marks from the ten kids she had, you see a big bullet wound in her ass.
