NOT okay.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/27176...omo#exit-modal

This is the same type of issue we are seeing with extreme feminism IRT men. Swinging so far the other way that the original group in power is now subordinate or its even okay to joke about killing kids based on their skin color is NOT THE ANSWER TO TRUE EQUALITY.

I was a fan of Chris Rock. I will never watch him ever again.

Not to mention the fact that more white kids are killed by cops than black kids or that most of the black kids shot are shot by black and hispanic cops...but let's not confuse his emotions with fact.

Chris Rock is a punk.

He always has been and always will be.

very disappointing. He had a great video explaining to young black men how to not get shot in a traffic stop.
Now I have to go back and hit a bunch of dislikes for it.
Aren't most black kids that get shot killed by black kids with illegal guns , anyway?

Some people still don't get it. All racism is wrong in America. Some people will continue to push racial divides because that's the product being sold. Does Chris Rock have an act without exploiting racial stereotypes, good or bad? Not really. Good or bad his entire career is making a straw-man stereotype of some sort and then showing how it's silly. It's just not helpful in this day. He should have stayed retired.

He didnt say that.

Also, theres no context stated behind what was actually said.

Rock continued, explaining that "real equality" would include "white mothers" crying about their dead children.

"I wanna live in a world with real equality. I want to live in a world where an equal amount of white kids are shot every month," he said. "I wanna see white mothers on TV, crying, standing next to Al Sharpton, talkin' about, 'We need justice for Chad.'"


You clearly have a problem with his satire or you’re just spinning things for the sake of shock value.

Hes a comedian.

comedians say really dumb Moderator cut: profanity all the time, for the sake of being funny.

Yeah I used to really enjoy his comedy but saying crap like that is not funny.

I don't doubt that plenty of leftist and identity group egalitarians would kill white people for the sake of "equality". You just wait till democrats have imported their permanent majority.

That’s entirely too reasonable of you. Do you not realize what forum your on?
