Great speech. Nice to hear someone appreciate the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. So many others don’t.
Chris Rock told a story in his recent special about how when his mother was young (born in 1945) it was illegal to go to a white dentist...if you couldn’t find a black dentist a kid would have to go to the vet. I have no idea if this is true. He then said she has gone from that to going to France twice a year to visit his daughter in culinary school.
I have no idea if he appreciates how far he has come or if he just considers all whiteys racist but it does show what his hard work has achieved. I saw a story where he asked for his daughter to be kicked out of school to get her on the straight path.
