Writer; Chris Rock's Poisonous Legacy: How to get Rich Bashing "Bad Blacks"

[ThatTruth777]

I never liked the joke because it falls under 'divide and rule' creating nothing but useless division

everytime i hear that joke come up on Pandora, i get the . i get what he was trying to do, but when your audience is mostly white, you have to be careful. white people went to work the next day like ITCHING to tell that joke to someone.....

His audience was damn near all black.

Good read. Only issue I have is about Chris Rock. Chris apologized and show remorse numerous times for that joke. He had no idea white people were going to use it as an excuse to call us ******s. If you find some interviews of him talking about it, you'll see for yourself. And he said he'd never do it again.

but this is the problem.

comedy itself doesn't just stay in that room.

If rock made that joke in a room with no cameras it'd be a different story.

Man fukk the "other" people

Rock was talking to his people, he didn't go up there on some "it's all good in the hood" bullshyt knowing it's a lie.

And that was the tail end of the crack era, shyt was about as bad is it could get for working poor blacks living between the junkie and the drug dealer.

So what are you suggesting,that we no longer record comedy because people will get offended?people in the room COULD get offended but based of the rousing ovation he got it was understood and loved. Yall cant fault Chris or other comedians for the evil that cacs do...You shouldn't have to have that responsibility as a comedian,but apparently you have to. Chris hates it now and the fact it was taken out of context,the fact nikkas wanna pretend he shoulda saw the fact it would be used for evil by cacs from a mile away is some bullshyt tho...he cant help it cacs who weren't the majority of his audience that made him hot at the time jumped on this joke YEARS later after he blew,and he cant help it new blacks took it as a declaration of war instead of just a joke


shyt we post on here don't stay on the coli,maybe some of yall should be more responsible,shyt posted on the internet last for ever for millions to read

Some kid in your class who took the rap when you both were caught stealing chips from the cafeteria, because even he sensed your future was brighter than his and you couldn’t afford to get in this type of trouble. Some assistant principal who wouldn’t allow you to play football your sophomore year because you were failing social studies. Some church that organized a bookbag drive so you and the other kids in the neighborhood would be prepared for the first day of school. Some drug dealer who’d tease you about being a nerd, but told the other drug dealers not to mess with you because you were going to college.
The real “dirty, dark secret” is this: the n–gers helped us survive. It’s all of those welfare queens, dope-dealing cousins, liquor store-robbing uncles, cable-stealing aunties, drunk granddads, and fast-tailed grannies who have made any of our relative success possible. It was those dope-dealing cousins who were able to buy someone’s kids’ school supplies. It was a good-for-nothing-drunk-of-an-uncle who fixed cars that helped folks get to work. It was an aunt who had five kids out of wedlock who did someone’s hair and made alterations on their suit for a job interview. It was those fight-at-the-drop-of-a-dime thugs who made it safe for their younger brothers and sisters to walk through their neighborhoods unmolested. It was the money from a grocery store robbery pulled off by an illiterate grandfather that kept the lights, gas and water on.

This right here....

I grew up in poverty man, and while my mind and body is definitely scarred I can't fathom who i'd be without some of these so called "bad blacks". I regret lives lost, I regret self esteem issues and the downplay of intelligence, I regret going hungry some nights but I wouldn't change shyt. The beauty is always there if you look for it.

The blacks vs N's segment that chris rock did wasn't the first time I heard it, maybe not the EXACT way he said it but I heard it before where "we can't have shiit for nikkas" or "you can't have too many black folks in one place without a fight breaking out". Unfortunately that joke put chris on the map & made him beloved by a lot of whites who still to this day used what he said damn near 20 years ago as a blueprint when judging blacks.

The thing I find infuriating is a guy like don lemmon, he gets on his soapbox often "chastising" the black community. Also when "josie" made her comments about wilson's perspective on what happen lemmon said "people here can't get mad when the now that the FACTS have come out".

That c00n azz biitch was all for what "josie" was saying but then he got his nikka wake up call when that officer started pushing him like the rest of the blacks. Guys like him who have a national platform & use it to chastise his own race to get patted on the head by cacs are disturbing but he can continue to make good profits by doing it.

Yeah chris was wrong for that but there was truth in it. Chris has also done a good job of calling out whites for a lot of their BS in other specials. He's also helped mentor a lot up & coming black comedians so I kinda disagree with that writer assessment of him as a whole but in context YES that joke did do damage.

Also c00ns are doing way more damage to blacks in america than "nikkas".

Exactly the bit is the frustrations of a man leaving the club after it got shot up and saying "We cant ever have fun without nikkas fukking it up, its the ranting of a dude living in the hood and coming outside and seeing his rims stolen and saying "You cant ever have nice shyt around nikkas"....As you go on your rant you probaaly do sound like a racist IF you wasn't black,but its all love...and its awful funny these cacs never took to the bit Chris Rock said TO THEM about "The only time its okay to say the n word"....they said nah to that one...yet yall actually taking they love for this joke as a bad look on chris instead of they own sickness and hate they inherently have for us.

 

[Big Boda]

so my question is..how can we support this brother who wrote this? because backlash against the truth is inevitable.

 

[WeDemBoyz]

I've always said that chris rock & david chapelle was on sum c00n shyt with some of their jokes

Who allowed the word "c00n" to become so overused and misused on the coli?
