re: #85 wrenchwench

I responded to what you said. You don’t get Chris Rock’s point, and now you don’t get mine.

Is that testiness I detect? I made a statement that was more than that and you didn’t get it.

I have heard Chris Rock on a few occasions. I think he is funny at times, but from what I’ve seen he is a shock jock, which isn’t all that uncommon, with plenty of 4 letter word jokes, and the added plus that as a black man he is allowed to liberally inject the N word, often, for a white audience.

It’s like kids chuckling at doing something sort of borderline not allowed except there is someone around who makes it OK.

I think his comment about the 4th was exactly in the same vein. Just another shock shot for effect, like he makes about black people all the time, for profit.

I don’t think it deserves the attention it got, which is what I tried to say more gently and with benefit of doubt the first time.
