Washington Times ^ | Dec. 1, 2014 | Jessica Chasmar

Chris Rock explained in a lengthy interview Sunday that he believes part of healing racial relations in America is by white people “owning” the actions of their ancestors.

The black comedian told New York magazine’s Frank Rich that racial progress in America is “nonsense” and that the only thing that’s changed is white people aren’t as crazy as they used to be.

Pissy Chrissy and all his little buddies better learn to “own” their own actions, and leave the ancestors out of it.

“healing racial relations in America is by white people “owning” the actions of their ancestors”

The same applies to black ancestors, imho.

Dear Chris.....

Your ancestors were slaves because they were weak and ineffective. In short, they were inferior to the enslavers

Mine faced off at Gettysburg. The Southern side of my folk ran off during the fight. They became dirt poor.

The Northern side became poor, too.

My family has paid.

Their enslavers were more than likely fellow brothers in melanin

who sold them to ships to take to America & Europe.

The further out they get, the more conservative America gets.

Keep it up.

My ancestors were too damn poor to own slaves. In fact, most of my ancestors died in the Civil War that SOLVED the slavery issue once and for all. Consider all debts to blacks by me paid in full.

Dear Chris,

Blacks sold other blacks to the slave traders.

Own that.

Best,

My ancestors brought you from an indigenous godless sub human lifestyle into the greatest society in all history.

Your Welcome.

Also, indoor plumbing, electricity, central heat and air, flush toilets...

"All right, but apart from the indoor plumbing, electricity, central heat and air, and flush toilets what have the Whites ever done for us?"

On the other side of the table there’s nothing much to own.

my ancestors came over after the American Civil War from Germany, Belgium, Great Britain via Canada during the years of 1865 through 1881 never had an contact with a person of color. My father in the Wisconsin National Guard had to serve in Milwaukee during the Civil Rights Riots. I owe the blacks nothing
