Chris Rock: Message to White Voters

[WilliamPitt]

[OneGrassRoot]

1. LOLOL! n/t

[nolabear]

2. That made my morning! Well, except for the nosefull of coffee.

[iemitsu]

3. Wonderful endorsement.

All white people should be comforted by this presentation.

[Cha]

59. I mostly certainly am!

And, cracking up at the same time..

[wendylaroux]

4. LOL Love Chris Rock!!---nt

[joshcryer]

5. "This is the Obama family. These are the Romney's."

Hahaha, fucking Chris Rock. So horrible. But brilliant.

[rbrnmw]

6. LOL

[barnabas63]

7. heh heh..Who IS this Barack Obama??!

[orbitgirl]

8. Right On!

[txdemsftw]

9. Loved that!

[vilify]

10. That was super funny.

[treestar]

11. That was hilarious!

Like most comedy, there's an element of truth to it! We don't have to go into black communities! We're already there!

[krawhitham]

12. K&R

[RomneyLies]

13. HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

14. Could a white comedian have gotten away with this?

I don't know.

[joshcryer]

16. Louie CK could.

But Chris Rock makes it too easy.

[oberliner]

19. Is he white?

I thought he was Mexican.

[Marr]

23. lol, wut?

You thought this guy was Mexican?

[oberliner]

26. Louis C.K. And Other Celebrities You Didn't Think Were Latino

Some would be deceived by the fair skin and blue eyes. But stand-up comic Louis C.K. (ginger hair and all) is Irish and Mexican.

Louis C.K. was born in Washington D.C. to an Irish mother and Mexican father. The family moved to Mexico City, where he lived until the age of seven. His first language is Spanish, and he retains his Mexican citizenship, according to Best Of Comedy Online. So, C.K. is actually half Latino and has a Mexican passport.

[Marr]

68. That's really surprising.

To look at him and listen to him, he sounds like the whitest man on the whitest block of Whiteyville.

[oberliner]

70. Yeah - to me too

I remember hearing something about it - glad I found an article to confirm!

[WilliamPitt]

65. He is.

Elizabeth Warren doesn't look Native American, either.

[joshcryer]

72. Hispanics can be white. If you want another white guy Doug Stanhope could do it.

[oberliner]

75. Yes, if they are from Spain, not Mexico

I don't know who Doug Stanhope is - but I think you are missing my point, which relates to how this routine would be taken if the comedian was white.

Like what about Jerry Seinfeld?

[joshcryer]

77. Nah, you can have white Mexicans, as well as black Mexicans. But that's beside the point.

I understand the generalization you're trying to make but there are plenty of white comedians that could joke this way.

Janeane Garofalo, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Rob Corddry, Sarah Silverman, Joe Rogan, Patton Oswalt are all white people who could get away with that joke.

I mentioned Louie CK and Doug Stanhope because they could do it the way Chris Rock did, straight up, look, this is the reality, this is the stereotype, I don't care about the stereotype.

The others would have to either throw sarcasm in there (Jon Stewart) with irony, or make a sketch of it. Sarah Silverman might be able to do it Chris Rock's way so throw her in there with Doug Stanhope and Louie CK.

There's still no doubt that Chris Rock, because he particularly focuses on racial humor, can really just get straight and to the point, there's hardly any setup. He doesn't need it because that's how he rolls.

But to say a white person couldn't make the joke is silly. Of course most couldn't do it Chris Rock's way (mainly because they lack finesse), white people can make the joke.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

93. So you're saying there's no white Mexicans? You need to get out more. Bill

Maher's pretty white last time I checked and hr does shit like this all the time. Does that answer your question?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

20. Chris Rock gets away with lots of things hardly anyone else can.

[oberliner]

21. Very true

Remember when Michael Scott tried to do one of his bits on The Office?

That was hilarious.

[SweetieD]

24. Who cares what a white comedian could have done?

[oberliner]

27. Who cares about a sketch on Jimmy Kimmel's tv show?

We're just chatting about stuff. It's a message board.

[cui bono]

38. -1

[Spitfire of ATJ]

48. I can see Steven Colbert doing it.

[oberliner]

54. Yeah I can see that

As long as it is in his "personae" on the show.

[-..__...]

60. If they were alive... George Carlin, Sam Kinison.

Mostly because their ability to push the PC envelope was already well established.

[underthematrix]

90. Yep. Bros Jon Stewart and

Stephen Colbert. They have done stuff like this and it is hilarious!

[freshwest]

15. Bwahaha! Did we luck out with this POTUS, or what?

[SamKnause]

17. Chris Rock

That was excellent !

Thanks for sharing.

[WillyT]

18. LOL !!! - K & R !!!

[KathieG]

22. Ha! Love it!

[JohnnyRingo]

25. OMG! LOL! ROFLMAO!!

IMHO IDK WTF is funnier than that.

K&R

[tblue37]

28. Could you summarize for us deafies? nt

[eggplant]

32. Obama is the "whiter" of the two candidates. n/t

[tblue37]

Chris Rock:
Hi, I’m Chris Rock with a special message for white people. In times like these you need a President you can trust and that white president’s name is Barack Obama. Lets take a look at the facts: for the first two thirds of his life Barack Obama was known as Barry which is the third whitest name on earth. Right after Cody and Jeff. And these are the white people who raised Barry. Madelyn and Stanley Dunham. Their so white they have to wear sunglasses because they are hurting each others eyes. After college Barry went into black neighborhoods in Chicago to try to organize people. How white is that? Black people don’t have to go into black communities, we don’t have to; we are already there. Look at him; playing golf, body surfing, wearing mom’s jeans, dancing with Ellen. Barack Obama supports gay marriage. Most black men don’t even support straight marriage. President Obama has a dog but is it a Pitbull, is it a Rottweiler? No! It’s a Portuguese Water Dog. And he named it: “Bo.” After one of the Dukes of Hazard. And lets not forget Barack Obama is whiter than Snooki, the tanning mom and Tara Reid. Even Mitt Romney is blacker than Obama. This is Obama’s family and these are the Romney’s. Look at that: Kids, Cousins, Aunts, Uncles. Mitt Romney’s family has more people in it than Tyler Perry. And if your still not convinced check this out:

Barack Obama
I Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear I am a white guy so help me god.

Chris Rock
If you want a white president. I have a polo wearing, Hawaii living, home beer brewing, league bowling guy for you – Barry Obama! He’s juuuuuuuuuust WHITE.

81. Mom jeans wearin'!!!!!!!!

Don't forget that!!!! Haaahahahahaaa! That cracked me up

[tblue37]

95. Thank you soooo much! I did watch the video and did get the "gist, "

but I really love comedy, and with comedy, you need more than just the gist to really enjoy the --especially with a fairly cerebral comic like Chris Rock.

I know it’s a lot to ask hearies to keep us deafies in mind, but we do very much appreciate it when y’all help us out with stuff like this!

If you are interested, I have a website where I post my articles about dealing with severe hearing impairment in a hearing culture:

I'm Listening as Hard as I Can!
http://www.deafnotdumb.homestead.com/index.html

Most of my articles are humorous, but some are serious--including one that explains while people who start to lose their hearign as they age are so reluctant to admit they are losing their hearing and so reluctant to actually wear hearing aids, even after they get them--if, of course, they can even afford to get them in the first place, which is often not at all financially possible. (Have you ever considered that those who are experiencing a progressively diminishment of their capacity to hear might suffer the same kind of grief as people who realize that their eyesight is deteriorating to the point that they might end up nearly or completely blind?)

My deaf/Hard of Hearing site is just one of my 10 public websites. The homepage to each of my sites has links to all of my other 9 sites, as well as a link to the article index for the specific site you are on. I hope some DUers will check my articles out. I have built up a worldwide readership of somewhere between 8 and 10 million readers (cool, huh?)--though a large chunk of them are visitors to my Grammar and Usage for the Non-Expert website, where I post targeted articles that deal with specific issues that even good writers sometimes feel iffy about. (I also respond to readers' questions about specific grammar or usage issues if they don't find what they need in the 100+ articles already posted on the site.)

Be warned, though: I have about 450 articles posted across my 10 sites, and I write on a very wide range of topics. Remember that old Lay's potato chip commercial tagline, "Bet you can't eat just one"? Well, I often get emails from readers who simultaneously thank me for my articles and bitterly complain that I have cost them many sleepless nights, because they can't stop surfing from one article to the next and one site to the next, [i/]heh, heh, heh (wringing hands in evil Mr. Burns style as I contemplate the success of my plan to take over the world).

If you sdo visit my sites, please let me know what you think! I have an "Email me" button at the bottom of each page, and of coruse anyone who wants to can send me a private message via my accoutn here on DU. I have sometimes goten emails from DU members who have stumbled across my site, and for some reason that always feels kind of excitiing!

[Honeycombe8]

64. Don't care for Chris Rock, but that's funny. I esp liked Barry with the wig. nt

[AllyCat]

66. Well, this white person voted for him. But not because he's white.

Or because he's black. I think he's a good President and the best person to lead our nation for the next 4 years.

[Hippo_Tron]

67. The community organizer bit was hilarious

"Black people don't go into black neighborhoods to organize people, we already live there"

As was "Mitt Romney's family has more people in it than a Tyler Perry movie"

[Mnemosyne]

69. roflmao! nt

[Chemisse]

73. Funny - and true.

I've never understood why someone who is 1/2 black, 1/2 white is simply considered black. (Well I do understand actually; it's called racism).

But why don't more people perceive this logic failure? Especially considering Obama was raised in a white family, in the white version of our culture. So really that makes him more white than black, if one must fit him into a single category.

It's great to see all this captured in a good comedy act.

[Scurrilous]

74. ROFL

[Kurovski]

76. Excellent points, one and all.

85. Okay, I'm 100% Irish. All four grandparents came from Ireland.

I'm convinced the the President's REAL name is O'Bama, and that he's secretly Irish.

Sure looks like a relative to me.

[crunch60]
