Sorry - I can't get past the author's weird belief that Chris Rock's ramblings contain profound nuggets of wisdom that can help us all live better lives.
It’s not so much that he has profound nuggets of wisdom, but that he can present the staggeringly obvious in an unavoidable & irrefutable way that many humans of the wrong shade would be demonized for attempting.
the entire theory is killed off by the inclusion of Chris Rock in the beginning. Rock is a successful entertainer who came from nothing. Yet through hard work and good fortune, he is now a wealthy person with an amazing lifestyle.
I bet any one of us can think of ten people off the top of our heads that went from nothing to middle class upper middle class or outright wealthy.
We also have to remember that even poor people in America constitute the upper 1% of all mankind in lifestyle. Our poor are fat, cable watching, I-phone using, car drivers with three tv’s, two cars and no chance of starving to death.
He looks into the toilet before flushing and is just amazed at how smart he is.
