"Black women have the hardest gig in show business. You hear Jennifer Lawrence complaining about getting paid less because she's a woman -- if she was black, she'd really have something to complain about."

Yes, it's problematic that the white, liberal men who run Hollywood don't 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 Rock's identity politics trail, and it sounded absurd. That's because it is.
Years ago, Sandra Bullock peaked, and had a contract template requiring soemthing like $12 million a picture, making her #1 among women in Hollywood, and probably exceeding 95% of men (because there are more men working in showbiz). That's just flat-out too much money when one clinker can torpedo a career, and because no one knows in advance whether a picture is going to be a success or not (other than lemming-bait, like Star Trek or Star Wars, or any first-time-out movie based on a freakin' comic book). J-Law needs to pay attention to most of the people (not just women) around her most of the day, and keep in mind what working for a living actually entails. It's too late for Chris Rock, he's got a huge net worth and is on the twilight side of his career, plus he's an unreconstructed racist. Thanks Impala64ssa.
