Chris Rock explained in a lengthy interview Sunday that he believes part of healing racial relations in America is by white people owning the actions of their ancestors.
The black comedian told New York magazines Frank Rich that racial progress in America is nonsense and that the only thing thats changed is white people arent as crazy as they used to be. When we talk about race relations in America or racial progress, its all nonsense, Mr. Rock said. There are no race relations. White people were crazy. Now theyre not as crazy. To say that black people have made progress would be to say they deserve what happened to them before.
Mr. Rich asked the comedian if white people are adjusting to a new reality?
Owning their actions. Not even their actions. The actions of your dad, Mr. Rock said. Yeah, its unfair that you can get judged by something you didnt do, but its also unfair that you can inherit money that you didnt work for.
When asked for his thoughts on President Obama, Mr. Rock said, Everybody wanted Michael Jordan, right? We got Shaq.

Why would any white person ever patronize any entertainment vehicle from this vile man?
He has a new movie that he wrote, directed, and starred in. This is to generate press, get on tv.
Viral marketing 101.
black trash is as black trash does
Yup, I’ll listen to a low-rent entertainer.
There are more holes in his logic than there are in his silly little pea brain.
Hey Chris, didja get that brain at a good discount?
I guess he's saying that Obola is a Big Dummy. But(t) Shaq's not a turd-burgling Sunni Muslim, so Rock is a little off the mark...
White people tell Blacks to own their own actions
What’s happening in Ferguson and at the White House and Justice Department is all about black America not owning the actions of its parents and children.
It’s also about keeping them angry and distracted until the long-term project of self-genocide through abortion and replacement with compliant Hispanic immigrants finishes up.
Well, my ancestors who were in what is now the United States from colonial times onward lived in Pennsylvania, the first state to abolish slavery*, and were never slave-holders. Then there were my ancestors who didn’t arrive until the turn of the 20th century, and all came from countries in which chattel slavery of any sort had been abolished centuries earlier.
With all probability the only slaves any ancestors of mine ever owned were fellow white northern Europeans and you have to go back to the Viking era to find any. So, I guess Mr. Rock, we’re square on that, seeing that contemporaneous with my ancestors holding other white folks as slaves, and a lot closer to the present as well, lots of black Africans were holding other black Africans as slaves.
*Okay, Vermont abolished it a little earlier when it was an independent republic and not part of the Union.
chris rock can wipe my windshield for free, but he better not say anything while doing it.
Like the action 500,000 White Men that fought and died for the freedom, opportunity & fame you enjoy today Jackass!
Can I ask some stupid questions???
If America is so racist, so vile, so oppressive to minorities, then why don’t more emigrate to some other better country in the world???
If America is so racist, then why are many majority black communities, such as Gary Indiana, Detroit, Newark, E. St. Louis, etc. such hell holes? These places are governed by black elected officials, their schools are run by black boards of education, the teachers are mostly black, etc. They even have big numbers of black cops in those places.
The point being, the conditions in these places cannot be blamed on racism, because these places are run by blacks.
If whites are so racist, why did a mostly white electorate in South Carolina elect Tim Scott to the U.S. Senate?
Why did a majority white district elect Mia Love to the U.S. House of Representatives???
“......its also unfair that you can inherit money that you didnt work for..........
I assume he must have mispoken when he used the word “inherit”, more than likely he meant to say “take” (such as welfare) (sarc)
My ancestors came to the US as Irish immigrants in the 1860s/1870s. They never owned or oppressed anyone but that doesn’t matter to Chris Rock, he thinks I should “own” the acts of other people’s ancestors too, because to him all white people are crazy and bad. Somehow that’s not racist though.
My 3rd GGF and his two brothers enlisted in the Union Army just a month after Sumpter. Many of my ancestors were northern Quakers or descendants of Quakers and were staunch abolitionists.
Unlike der Fuehrer whose ancestors were key african slave traders, mine signed on to do away with slavery. The slave trade was wholly run by arabs and the major black tribes of africa who captured and controlled the the sale of slaves to whomever would buy them including other blacks.
I’m with you, my ancestors may have been crazy for fighting to free the ancestors of these stupid tribal racists.
What does he have to say about all the corrupt hellhole countries in Africa being run by “brothers”? No doubt he would attribute all the woes there to whitey as well. As per usual, Blacks never have to own anything because only whites can be racist by definition. How convenient. And destructive to Blacks no matter where they live. Living lives as perpetual victims is no way to really live life as God intended.
Hey Chris, my ancestor died to free your ancestor. So own THAT!
I’m Greek....MY ancestors predicted the atom, mapped the universe, invented logic and talked to the gods while HIS were still picking the fleas out of their garments!
My ancestors didn’t own black slaves nor did my father participate in civil rights abuses of blacks and regardless we are not responsible for the sins of our fathers. What Chris Rock is suggesting is tribalism and racist to the core. Blacks could trying owning their own actions and reactions and maybe they’d improve their communities.
My ancestors were never even in this country when there were slaves.
I am glad Liberal Idiocy is on full display lately. People are starting to wake up to how stupid this all sounds.
