Can we put to rest this c00nish notion that JFK and RFK got "assassinated" but 2pac "just got shot"?

So we're now officially in the realm of "the government killed JFK and it was all a conspiracy"?

Can y'all at least acknowledge that that is exactly what Chris Rock's joke was making fun of?

Looking for complicated reasons to explain something that according to official investigation was relatively simple?

Chris Rock's words mean little to me.

A clip from a 2011 HBO special called Talking Funny resurfaced on social media that featured Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld and Louis C.K in conversation. In it, Rock declares Louis C.K. “the blackest white guy I know.” He explains that “all the negative things we think about black people, this fukker [is],” as C.K. guffaws alongside him.


“You’re saying I’m a n---er?” a grinning C.K. adds. “You are the n---er-est white man,” Rock fires back, as Gervais laughs hysterically and Jerry Seinfeld becomes increasingly uncomfortable. They go back and forth in regards to the slur, and C.K.’s propensity for using it in his own act. “Who says n---er on stage?” Gervais asks with no self-edit, and Seinfeld concludes that he’s never found the humor in the word as the other three men continue to grin and laugh.

Assassinations are thought of in political terms. That’s why it’s almost exclusively applied to murders of presidents, politicians, heads of states, foreign leaders, kings, queens of the past…etc.

There have been high profile murders of celebrities like John Lennon, Selena…they aren’t referred to as “assassinations”

Apparently you're the target audience of this thread

You sure about that breh?

Mark David Chapman and the assassination of John Lennon

You're making my case for me. But also, JFK murder wasn't politically motivated either.

And if we're gonna talk about semantics, we also gotta point out that the word is often used in relation to plots by multiple people working together to carry out the murder. Out of JFK, RFK, John Lennon and Tupac, Tupac's murder is the only one that has that component.

I wasn't saying that it needs to be called that. Only that it has more of the hallmarks of an "assassination plot" than both the JFK and the RFK murder. They were not "assassinated" in the traditional sense of that word either. They were politicians who got shot by some nobodies for no particularly good reason. Just like Pac did.

But that’s what assassination means lol. I get what you’re saying if you’re saying all three were assassinated. They were all high profile people
