Chris Rock is a favorite of ours at LwC (see Dear Racist Chris Rock: White Kids Get Shot Too.. More, Actually and Dear Chris Rock: You Racist, Ignorant A...), as is Jennifer Lawrence (see Jennifer Lawrence Angers Feminists on 'Equal Pay' : 'I Blame Myself..' and #SJW Feminists OUTRAGED Over How Much Jennifer Lawrence Makes..), so when we heard the two names together..
Oh, no. They aren't making a movie together. Chris Rock was just claiming that if J-Law were black, then she would really have some unequally pay to complain about.
Rock, who spread the word about Jones to a lot of people before finally landing on SNL, spoke to The New Yorker about how funny he considers Jones, and he invoked Lawrence to make a point about another issue in Hollywood:
"Black women have the hardest gig in show business. You hear Jennifer Lawrence complaining about getting paid less because sheâs a womanâif she was black, she'd really have something to complain about."
Yes, it's problematic that the white, liberal men who run Hollywood donât pay persons or color or genders of female as much as they pay other white, liberal men. Also other black, liberal men (like Chris Rock). Also other white, liberal women (like Jennifer Lawrence).
See what I did there? I just continued on down Chris Rockâs identity politics trail, and it sounded absurd. Thatâs because it is.
First irony alert: donât these people have white liberal men acting as their agents to get them more money?
Oh, it's true. But on to the main point. What bothers me about Chris Rock is that right here, he is creating the very PC, #SJW environment he claims to hate on campus. Yes, it's true. Chris Rock echoed Jerry Seinfeld's sentiment in that colleges were "too PC" and he didn't enjoy playing them anymore. See Chris, you donât get to categorize everybody by race, gender and orientation in order to consistently play the victim cardâ¦
⦠then turn around and whine when college students categorize everybody by race, gender and orientation to consistently play the victim card. The PC outrage culture was spawned by people like you. You're now just facing a generation whoâs taking it a step further. Let that reverberate for a second. Mizzou was created by you. SJW feminism was created by you. The students protesting Jerry Seinfeld performing on campus? They are your Frankenstein monster.
You deserve for them to eat you alive.
Color her not Don Rickles.
Or, as Samuel Beckett could have put it: There she is all over for you, blaming on her audience the faults of her appeal.
I'm guessing the demo for antagonistic, sadistic comediennes with multiple chips on their shoulders is really quite small.
The WSJ did an article on the comedy circuit in the 1980s. I think they said the market (at the time) could support around 200 full time stand-ups.
There are plenty of angry women running around without having to take the chance of spoiling a night out by actually paying to see her.
Heck, turn on pMSNBC, and there's a good chance you'll see a panel full of them.
LOL! Well said.
Sure; he looks at how other people slave away at their jobs, and took his thirty pieces of silver, selling his soul. He’s made quite a living now in entertainment, and got his start ripping apart his peeps.
