Hey, if you cant see how racist he is then...?? well what can i say. About him- Well what an asshole. The comments he makes about whites are just seen as acceptable it seems. If a white commedian (visa versa) ever dared to go down that racist route (and say the things chris does), haha funny pisstake haha, easy way to gain popularity.... Hmm how would the white comedian be percieved. No No-- Hes the man ol chris - sarcasim. What a joke it all is. Used to be a big fan of Chris Rock.

Hence "race-ist." Ask him about anything -- the dustbunnies below your coach -- and he'll mention something about how oppressed black men are. And all of this bitching comes from a man who is VERY well off and is considered one of the best comedians America. That's some racist society he lives in.

There are cultural differences between the races and I think it can be funny to point out that we don't like all of the same things. I think your frustration is not with Rock, but with the people who say it is OK for blacks to joke about white culture but it is racist for whites to joke about black culture. If you say that Rock is a racist for what he said, then you are stepping onto a slippery slope. Anyone who expresses an opinion about any difference between racial cultures is a racist. I too get frustrated when I hear comedians like Rock, because I know that Jerry Seinfeld could not stand up and make the same kind of jokes about black people without riots occurring. But my frustration is not with Rock, it is with the double standard. Matt – I have a lot of respect for you but I think your outrage is directed at the wrong person.

He's not racist. Did you miss the "Black people vs Ni**a's" skit" from his Live in DC performance? Or were you too angry to even listen? Chris Rock makes fun of everybody. He’s not racist.
