Chris Rock: 'Happy White Peoples Independence Day'

breitbart.com ^ | July 4 2012

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Indeed, there’s more than one reason to stay off the dark continent.

[GOPJ]

Are there any majority black countries, run by blacks that aren’t dictatorships? Or worse?

[sargon]

Regiments in the American Revolution were integrated, something which did not happen again until the post-WWII era.

Colored soldiers represented as many as 1 in 5 members (20%) of the Continental Army at various points during the Revolution.

Chris Rock doesn't have the slightest notion of what he's saying. His ignorance is both laughable and shameful.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Yes, his statement may be true but everyone knows what he has been, what he is and what he will ever be. Polite people usually do not use the term-in public.

[lefty-lie-spy]

He really doesn’t know or care that the Constitution has wording specifically to affect the abolition of slavery. What an ass.

[Mike Darancette]

Pissing on the grave of all American patriots.

Isn't the whole month of February enough for you?

To quote his character, Nat X, "Ain't it just like 'The Man' to give us the shortest month of the year."

[waus]

Since Rock said that, and he won’t be called a racist, I suppose I can now say that I feel the same way he does everyday during the entire month of February and I won’t be called a racist.

The lie I was taught in “university” was that since “people of color” have no power to oppress, it’s not racism.

That's what seals it shut. What makes that lie particularly galling is the "person of color" foisting it upon the kids did have power: the power to send any vigorious debunker to the Dean for "sensitivity training" on pain of expulsion. The power to punish is, of course, power.

So the poor kids who had to face that, faced a performative hypocrite - someone who had the power to enforce his/her "We have no power" lie.

It's a pity that Ayn Rand wasn't alive and churning out novels at the time. Had she been, and once she got wind of the politicaly-correct con game, there'd be a scene in one of her novels featuring a Floyd-Ferris-like creep saying:

"Of course we have power, as you are about to find out when I expel you. Your parents: they are nice bourgeois producers and consumers, are they not? The kind who looks down on mere intellectuals such as I, as mere theoreticians incapable of making their way in the practical world? Well, as you are about to find out, we mere theoreticians have a practicality that your plush bourgeois parents can only have nightmares about.

"Your punishment is rated because of your intellectual laziness. You are too lazy, too unthinking, to see that a position of statisical powerlessness says nothing in itself about an individual's power. Your progressive professor has that power, as do I. It is your own fault for assuming that a statistical collective is the same as the individuals comprising it. You are about to learn the difference, the hard way.

"As of now, you are expelled. Vacate the university at once, for I also have the power to arrest you for trespassing. As your good bourgeois parents would no doubt endorse."

[MplsSteve]

“...why not be a man and lead an emigration to your Mother Land?”

Chris Rock is as full of brown fecal matter as those Hollywood actors/actresses who claim that Cuba is a complete paradise and beacon of democracy.

I see very few of those people clammoring (sp?) to move there anytime soon.

Hypocrites, all!

[Dr.Zoidberg]

I guess they could also make the argument it’s a racist month as well as short, it snows a lot in February.

[Razz Barry]

If he believes this, why does he support someone of slave owning ancestry? Yes, Chris, it's far more likely Obama’s family owned your ancestors than it is mine did.
When I hear dumb a$$ blacks say things as stupid as what Chris said, I understand why they think whites hate them. Why wouldn't any thinking person dislike those who would say things like this about people who have helped them live wonderful lives. There's no way Rock could have achieved his success without whites giving him their hard earned money. Same with all those black ball players who back Obama. If you look in the stands you see far more white faces than black. Conservatives who watch may as well write Obama a check for his campaign.
