White People?s Day took place on July 4th, according to comedian Chris Rock, who tweeted a joke to his legion of followers that has not settled too well with a large selection of the populace. Since the former ?Saturday Night Live? cast member is no stranger to the world of controversy, Rock seems unfazed by the extreme amount of backlash his biting observation has generated. From what I can tell, he?s ruffled quite a few feathers with this one, which usually indicates that he?s touched a nerve most people don?t want to acknowledge.

In response to Rock?s joke, several people have taken to a wide variety of social networking sites to express their disappointment with the comedian, going as far as to say they intend to swear off his movies entirely. Others took their anger and fashioned it into a micro-blogging response of their own, many of which you can find at the bottom of this article.
Of course, not everyone was deeply offended by Rock?s message. Actor Don Cheadle and Zach Braff both thought the joke was just that: a joke. If anyone is shocked that Rock issued a racially-oriented tweet at the nation?s expense, they obviously aren?t very well-versed in the actor?s brand of biting, hot-button comedy.
Elon James White, host of This Week In Blackness, spoke with The Huffington Post regarding Rock?s controversial comment. His insight into the matter is pretty spot-on:

I find this Chris Rock backlash absolutely ridiculous. Really? Someone tells the truth and you mad? I?m American. I never claim otherwise. I never give the ?We didn?t land on Plymouth rock? speech unless its in a really funny way. But part of being American, to me, is that I have to acknowledge all the bullshit that comes with it. Basically some folks came over, stole other people?s land, killed them, then started a country on the backs of my people, while killing them, and then at some point they freed the slaves but then oppressed them and killed them some more. Do I have the ability to do things here that I wouldn?t in some parts of the world? Yes. But my family paid the price for that in actual blood, sweat and tears. If more people were like Rock and acknowledged the truth maybe we?d be in a better place as a Nation.

He is a comedian/humorist telling a joke. Plenty of white comedians do the same.

Cie,

I think there comes a time wher it stops being funny and the comedian tag is void.

Eva LongHoria and her comments about Republican Women, should it be brushed off be cause she is an entertainer?

She plays a whore, so how do we interpret those comments based on her one and only character.

Her latest gig with Andy Garcia doesn't count, that was a turd in the punch bowl.

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

imagine if a white person said this :facepalm:

Are you serious? That mugging you took still hasn't straightened you out.

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

Speaking of morons. I was talking to a woman the other day who was absolutely irate with Obama and said we needed to vote him out of office. I stopped her and asked her to give me some reasons why she hates him and what she thinks of Romney. Her response:

"Who is Romney?"

It just doesn't get any better than that. Right away I realized just what it is like to have a real conversation with hedgy, skul, and ray.

What a creep.

Cie,

I think there comes a time wher it stops being funny and the comedian tag is void.

Eva LongHoria and her comments about Republican Women, should it be brushed off be cause she is an entertainer?

She plays a whore, so how do we interpret those comments based on her one and only character.

Her latest gig with Andy Garcia doesn't count, that was a turd in the punch bowl.

Lumi, i know you arent a racist bunghole, so i appreciate your opinion, even though though I am on the other side.

Eva is an entertainer, but not a comedian/ humorist like Rock. He literally makes tongue in cheek commentary with a basis in reality for a living. Everyone is entitled to have their feathers ruffled by this, but I won't.

 

[Tora!Tora!Tora!]

Here we go...another non issue (besides being funny) that takes everyone's attention away from our economic mess.

Trampled...maybe that lady was saying who is Romney because she has studied the records and is voting for Gary Johnson.

Maybe she was answering at even a higher level by asking, "Whos is Romney" as that is a question not many can answer based on his variety of viewpoints.

Or maybe she has a public school education and is stupid which is probably the correct answer.

Or maybe she's a brain-dead moron. I have a friend who says things like: "I hate Hillary Clinton.'

I ask, "Why?"

Blank stare.

The she says, "I hate Obama."

I ask, "Why?"

Same blank stare.

Then she says, "I hate Nancy Pelosi."

"Why?"

Another blank stare.

I know why. She's a White, brainwashed, Southern Baptist who keeps her television on Fox "Newz" all day.

Asshole, YES !

And I hate everyone really !

Entertainer, Comedian, fisherman, baker, chuckle head poster on a sports forum :shrug:

If you aren't blowing the minority, who has the media as his cheerleaders, everything said that can minutely misconstrued as racist, insensitive, or might hurt someone elses feelings for the guy you had intended the comment for.

You will get hammered !

Listen to the shit Garofolo said, she is neither an actress or a comedian, yet she runs her cock holster filled with hate every day, does anyone call her to the carpet?

Ed Schultz,

how many times has this baboon been given a time out, yet still has a job?


I am sick of hearing that if anyone disagrees with Barry, that the person who made the statement should be wearing a hood.

These are just a few reasons why I stay to myself, I prefer to be isolated, I have 10 solid friends, that's enough. I do have the group that I have assembled, but most of them are half stepping it.
They are like the preppers on TV, only worse, no fucking clue, I have to hold their hand on everything.
I think one is a spook, so... I might pull the pin on the team.
