chris Rock is harder on blacks than he is whites .. he's across the board .. and no matter how outrageous he is there is always a huge nugget of truth in what he says ... kind of like a black male version of Murderdoll :D
but the comparrison isnt just ..
most white people dont share the same history of blacks in america.
what richards said was right in one respect ... its not too god damn long ago in the illustrous history of the USofA that people were hung for being black.
blacks were slaves.. they were property. there was no value attached to their lives any more than livestock.
its going to take more than a short lifespan worth of time to wipe those memories out.
whites dont care about being called honkeys or crackers .. people pay jeff foxworthy $80 a pop to be called that .. we simply arent hurt buy it.
there's plenty of hurt that still exists in the black memory. Does that excuse not moving forward .. no - i dont think so ...neither does my buddy when we talk about these things ..
but you cant equate a black comedian poking fun at whites with a white commedian poking fun at blacks. the history behind it isnt the same.
