Chris Rock tells white people to own the actions of their ancestors

First official slave claim in the US was a Black Slave owner having his claim validated by the Courts.

Own that Rock(s in your head).

“My ancestors fought a four year long vicious war to free your ancestors.”

Mine too.

Go fu@k yourself, Chris.

Don’t expect a thank you note. Just saying.

I think this is a kind of accusation that white people hung together in mistreating black people because of color.

That deserves to be analyzed as a hypothesis, but only when the other side gets a reciprocal analysis.

[tophat9000]

Chris.. do you own yours ?

[HiTech RedNeck]

These games of hate and blame go nowhere fast.

You'll notice cultural collapse never gets a mention. The man who destroyed black families was a POTUS from Texas who eliminated self and family responsibility replacing it with what he called "The Great Society".

Hey Rock you want hope and change? Well then start demanding better behavioral and moral standards. Your profession and Rappers would be a fine place to start. The Rioters & Looters in Ferguson and other places would be a good place also. How many Black Americans lost their jobs, their self built businesses, and their life savings, thanks to the encouraging of Shyster Money Grabbing Poverty Pimps inciting riots?

This is the United States. A person through their own efforts, skills, and hard work, can be a success. A person can also be a successful Con-Man and make a great living running race baiting poverty Pimping Non Profit Organizations. These exist solely to create turmoil and anarchy while fleecing the gullible and manipulating them for desired outcomes for huge profits for the founder and board members. Burn Ferguson Burn. Reverend needs a new mansion and Limo.

Their narrative does not allow for the suffering of other oppressed peoples. They are ignorant of history — we NEED and MUST not be. Keep your stories alive and in your heart and share them where ever and when ever possible. To testify that stories of suffering abound. You won’t acknowledge our stories?? no empathy with the suffering of other peoples? doesn’t that say something?

[HiTech RedNeck]

There’s a lot of hate going ‘round.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Just what I going to do; govern my life according to the mouthing of a negro “entertainer.”

[HiTech RedNeck]

This is true... it is a selfish suffering. Does it have any words of wisdom for others who suffer? It does not seem to.

[AMDG&BVMH]

No good deed goes unpunished. Indeed, most if not all of us came from dirt poor. But we can’t say that because we have “white privilege”.

[so_real]

There's an entire generation of educated adults today having absolutely no idea the Irish were bought and sold as slaves during America's colonial period. I suspect Chris Rock is part of that generation. I would wager a bet too that he has no idea black slave owners even existed during colonial America as well. He has half of an education, and that is a pity. More's the pity he would hold contemporary white people responsible for a history that many white ancestors bled, suffered, and died to amend. That is horrifically racist of him.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We should invite them all to be Rednecks. That is something which knows no Color nor Nationality — only Attitude.

Mine, too. Genealogy is a hobby an I did not find one ancestor who was rich enough to own slaves. Ancestors have been here since the 1600’s. They worked from sun-up to sundown to put enough food on the table. I did have 2 great grandfathers who fought for the South. One made shoes for the soldiers since he was not healthy enough to fight. I am proud of all of them. They did what they thought was right at the time. I have a copy of the enlistment paper for one of them.

Rednecks come in many colors
Yellow red tan white and black
But to a one they all stand proud and tall
They’re the strength of this country’s back

[AMDG&BVMH]

Excellent point!

[3Fingas]

kind of disappointing. I thought Chris Rock was smarter than that. He did do that “How Not to Get Your A** Kicked by the Police” video which was pretty funny and filled with common sense. I guess he had to say this stuff to keep in the good graces of his social circle.

[stanne]

He has made me laugh. Twice. Otherwise a no talent has been

My ancestors were abolitionists. My parents formed us in the catholic perspective, one in keeping with the judeochristian ethic on which this country is founded. That all people are created equal

It doesn’t get any credence in certain circles. Found this out when I went to work in Manhattan. Seiu Hatred. I’m white. That’s all that matters in some realms. Hatred. Victim hood. They are not solving nor do they want to solve the problem

There are some baleful spirits looking down on this scene, trying to force their hands so to speak.
