Chris Rock got rich off stupid white idiots
He needs to learnt some manners and gratitute
And I know just the swamp where to have his first class
Dippy Dee Do Dah Dippy Dee Day...my oh my.....Chris ..
. How do you like us now?
Are the headlights in your eyes...geez I’m sorry
/ s...maybe...sorta
Yep and western civilization carried the whole damned planet forward
Yes
And doubled their life expectancy ...
Nobody wants to be held responsible for things that other people of the same race might do or might have done, but you'll find people wishing or demanding that other people be held responsible for what people of their race do or have done.
Basically, Chris Rock got his name in the paper, and got hundreds of people to comment about what he said. In the publicity world, that's a victory. There's not much more to it than that.
Shortly after the war, he died from disease’s he contracted in that hell hole prison.u after the end of the war, in his early 20s. I want my reparations..my ancestors shed blood and died to free the slaves....better make it a lot...
Does Chris Rock want to own the actions of his ancestors? Of course not. We should allow those issues to remain in written history.
When is Obama going to "own" [get the pun?] the actions of his slave-owning ancestors?
Think about it. Slavery was one of the best things that ever could have happened to those dumb ignorant savages in the wilds of west Africa.
Read this from Walter Williams...
Walter Williams: Did blacks benefit from slavery?

And bite me, crackerhead.
Our history is ours ..... it isn't yours to slur, skew, and denounce through your alien, hateful eyes. Go 'way.
I had an English friend once, very nice chap, well-to-do, a product of an expensive private education and a typical hand-wringing, apologetic liberal. One day we were having a chat and he asked me did I not think that after all the wealth and comfort we enjoyed today was based on the terrible crimes of slavery and imperialism and would it not be too much to ask for us to pay some form of retribution.
I said to him that given that my ancestors spent most of the 19th century half-starved living on a diet of rotten potatoes on a wind and rain-swept hillside in Donegal I felt no obligation to compensate anyone, however if he had any skeletons in his family’s closet that he felt the need to atone for then feel free to hand over whatever sum of his own cash he felt like but he better keep his hands off my stash.
He didn’t pursue the line of argument with me again.
My ancestors never owned a single slave nor did they have anything to do with Jim Crow racism.
Own your f*ckin’ stupidity, Chris Rock AND STFU - you’re embarrassing yourself.
Chris: You first! YOUR ancestors sold your ancestors into slavery worldwide. Today, blacks have shown they do not respect and use their freedoms. Instead, they act like you!
Visit the sins of the great, great , great, great grandfather on the great, great, great , great grandson. Almost Biblical.
Yes, but he's paying for it: Now I think he's a celebrity knothead, like Janeane Garofalo. Yeah, Chris, low blow -- but that's what you get for dissing my people.
“And my ancestors left Ireland 130 years ago to avoid Queen Vicky’s draft for the Boer War.”
Odd that they left 15 years before the war started then, especially given that the draft never applied in Ireland, yes that’s right every Irishman who fought for the British since the Act of Union, and there were hundreds of thousands of them, were all volunteers who freely signed up to serve Her/His Britannic Majesty.
The British had to conscript English, Scottish and Welsh soldiers but the Irish were all volunteers, funny that isn’t it?
Even imperialism brought some progress to the good. They’re complaining based on the comparison of some imaginary and probably unattainable outcome to what took place.
What is really needed: look at Adam and Eve and see yourselves in a mirror.
The conversation regarding race relations that the First Generation Immigrant Holder factiously asked for has begun.
Without the internet it would be limited to the fella tist national TV channels of ABCBSNBCNN Consortium.
Heres’ an idea, Chrissy -
Start with the original slavers - Africans
“The vast majority of slaves taken out of Africa were sold by African rulers, traders and a military aristocracy who all grew wealthy from the business. Most slaves were acquired through wars or by kidnapping. The Portuguese Duatre Pacheco Pereire wrote in the early sixteenth century after a visit to Benin that the kingdom “is usually at war with its neighbours and takes many captives, whom we buy at twelve or fifteen brass bracelets each, or for copper bracelets, which they prize more.” Olaudah Equiano, an ex-slave, described in his memoirs published in 1789 how African rulers carried out raids to capture slaves.”
Both blacks and whites were traders! The whites didn’t dare go inland off the African coast - they bought the slaves from AFRICAN Chiefs who brought them to the coast and sold them.
The slave trade ended ONLY after many years of WHITES fighting both sides of the slave traders to end it.
So, Crissy - and the rest of you - own up to the BLACK side of Slavery.

Ask yourselves: “Why do we never hear about this side of the story? Start your ‘reparations” with the AFrican leaders.
Chris, less than 10% of the population of the South owned or even traded slaves. So, genius, that means that at least 90% had zilch to do with the slave trade.
