As one of the posters who reported your thread put it, this is nothing but race baiting. As a poster here in this thread put it you have (deliberately, in our opinion) misinterpreted what Chris Rock said.

What you have done correctly is to remove all Reasonable Doubt from our discussions for the next week.

He did not say that. It was an expression his dad used.
His dad said : " You cannot beat white men at anything, but you can knock em out".

It is just an expression that describes that his father maybe kind of gave up on trying at that moment. It doesn't mean anything. Maybe he watched a boxing fight the night prior. I am just guessing. Does not make him a racist. People should not be so touchy.
It is the same as in the Netherlands where a small group of people are angry about the black piet with Sinterklaas. They should learn of how the issue is solved on Curaçao or Bonaire. There, faces of brown people volunteering for being a piet are painted black because pieten are blacker then black because of the coal used to power the engine of the boat (That is the explanation of course). The sint is painted white. Another solution is that they use all colors and black to paint rainbow pieten. The boat passed a rainbow, problem solved.

But there will be always be people who are searching to feed their subconscious hate.

And i think Chris Rock is a worthless comedian. I cannot laugh about his jokes. He just makes noise and attacks people.

Considering he didn't actually say that, sure. Or no. Whichever. I mean, he said his dad told him that you can't beat white people, but you can knock 'em out... He said that Larry Holmes, the boxer, was going to lose a title fight if he didn't knock his white opponent out. So if you take quotes out of context, and use that to infer that Chris Rock is inciting black people to just go around knocking out white people, I guess you could be offended by it. You'd have to be pretty stupid to do that, but whatever makes you happy. Or mad. Whichever.

That's pretty funny actually. :thumbsup: In the words of the great Homer Simpson, "It's funny 'cause it's true!"

Chris Rock rules!

This is a very old video. We will be doing this until the end of times unless we stop identifying ourselves culturally by skin color, where we come from, or how we speak.

A guy from Tennessee could just very easily do a video and say, "Nobody will ever trust me as a doctor. Whenever I'm in a room and say something, people immediately ask me how Squirrel tastes. It taste's great, so stop asking me."
