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

I had ancestors in the Civil War too.......and looking at our ancestry, we couldn’t find nary a slave....my kin most likely were sharecroppers along with the blacks so to Mr. Rock, I’ll own that and proudly......and now you Mr. Rock can kiss my poor white trash arse!!

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

The printing press, the telephone, the television, the airplane, the automobile, the microwave oven, and a white guy even invented basketball.

Well, my ancestors are from Mississippi, but like 92+% of pre-Civil War America, we never owned slaves (because we were poor white trash)!

So, that means that I don’t have to account for CRAP and all these race-baiting idiots (including Chris Rock) can kiss my white ass!

Want to own something Chris? Own every liberal cesspool in America. Own the billions in “social” spending that “your” people take from ordinary Americans year after year so the could own Obama phones. Own “necklacing” and “wilding”. Own the checkbox on a job application which labels “your” people instead of treating them like everyone else.

But you really want to “own” something? Own getting rid of the likes of Sharpton, Farrakhan and Jackson. Own ripping up the race card and play the humanity card.

Until then...STFU

As soon as Chris owns up to the fact that members of his own race sold his ancestors into slavery then we’ll talk.

My ancestors were in Belgium, Poland and Germany at the time of slavery in the US.

As I said in my first post, by great-great-grandfathers fought to end slavery in America.

I also trace forefathers going back to Virginia who were slave-holders. That’s reality.

The real irony is that many blacks like Chris Rock probably have those exact same slaveholders in their family trees.

And I am not any more responsible for that than Chris Rock is.

Five of my GGF fought for the Confederacy and not a one owned slaves. My namesake and GGF fought for the Union and owned slaves. So, where is the logic that the war was fought for slavery? My GGF was a strong Unionist and his GF was a Colonel in the Revolutionary Army, his great uncles Colonel and a General. Who owes whom?

My ancestors created a system of government that includes the right to free speech and the opportunity to contribute to society in the manner that best suits each individual.

Under this system, highly overrated comedians can achieve success through their numerous white (former) fans.

Chris can shove it up his Obamahole.

My grandparents didn’t even speak English.

They, my parents, and I have done fine.

We didn’t own any slaves.

So shove it, shove it deep, and shove it often.

We’re fed up with you Obamaholes, and you’re gonna see an active pushbook sooner than you think.

Yes, some of mine left southern Germany due to the Kulturkampf, too. Life’s tough, Chrissy. Put on your Big Boy Pants and join the human race.
