If you view the comments from top to bottom you can see that this really isn't about Chris Rock. It goes much deeper than that. Many of you have gone into the racial discussion where it really comes down too. Now I am a black dude, and what some people dont realize that this is what black comedy is all about. Now Black comedians make fun of gays all the time. They dont hold their tongue on nothing. I mean nothing. I can understand why the oscars are tentative on letting Chris rock in it is only natural. When he made the comment about what straight black man sits there and watches the oscars is so true that I had to sit there and think about that for a while. I mean it is really true. Black folks call gays out as if like putting on their shoes. We are not sensitive to that subject, so again I can understand why some whites have a problem with this. Now blacks are real raw when it comes to comedy so we have no problem talking about white people. none. It doesnt mean that we are racist or homophobic it is almost like a healing process. Its likened to the saying that the employees can talk about the employers but the employers cant say anything about the employees. So basically since we are an inferior race economically we feel like we have the right to talk about it. You can disagree all you want if this makes it right or not but this is just the way the world is. See some people are mad or annoyed at the fact that black people can make fun of white people and not vice versa. Thats just the way it is. With the historical events that took place in America that probably gives us a right too. Again I'm not saying this is right I'm just saying that's the way it is. and If you dont like you just have to deal with it.
