How you feel about Chris Rock's Niggas vs Black People Stand Up?

It was funny.
It was funny when I was younger and 1st saw it. It's still funny as fuck now but there's certain things he mentions as blanket statements that don't fit all. But we all know Chris Rock is smarter than that so people use common sense to see the larger point he was making and not nit pick little shit like that

It's one of the realest comedy skits ever. The fact this thread even needs to be made points out just how sensitive society has gotten. I don't know if people like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, or Prime Chris Rock could even have big careers these days. Don't think you could make a All in the Family, In Living Color, married with Children type TV show these days. Kevin Hart is a funny dude, but his type of comedy is what passes these days. Amy Schumer is mild comapred to peopel like Roseanne and people even think she's "edgy", lol
Props to Chapelle though, he did shit on his own terms, and knew when not to sellout with his stuff also. his reward....people saying he's a drug addict, or crazy. Go figure

One thing about him I saw an interview years ago and they were asking him about something he said in one of his standups and he was like its just jokes. They can be thought provoking to a point but all he's doing is telling jokes.

It has some truth to it, but in all honesty, it could just as well be "People with sense" vs "People without sense." It's not really limited to black people. It just seems that way because in this country the actions of the worst of us are what is used to define all of us.
It was a good special but there were a few things he said that I disagree. The first one to come to mind is when he acted as if the media plays no part on how black people are perceived , not only in the states but around the world. Saying stupid shit like "it aint the media , ITS THE NIGGAS!" smh.

It was hilarious.
Ill say its just comedy.. but comedy is not just comedy because white people...well people.. take the commentary as fact and or the supreme example of whats... this and that.. especially when it comes to us.. I can agree with his overall sentiment..

I think Rock summed it up in terms that was best understood for that time period.
I think now, we're at a point where speaking in that context only shifts the narrative and gradually leads to
"what about black on black crime".

I honestly never really found Rock or that joke funny growing up...or even now
Just always rubbed me the wrong way
Sure, Rock was joking, but I see that for many he was reinforcing this idea that "niggas" aren’t just unworthy of basic levels of respect, they deserve open contempt and ridicule. They are the reason racism exist...
Bullshit to say the least
And counterproductive
Racism sees no distinction between "black people" and" niggas"

Mister B.;8566309 said:One of the best comedy routines done. He crushed that shit. I play that shit once a week on my iPod.
"I ain't lookin' over my back for the media....I'm lookin for NIGGAS!" Ted Koppel ain't never took shit from me....niggas have."
Wait...
So you agree with the notion certain black people are not worthy of basic levels of respect and deserve everything that comes to them?

It's an abomination, and a blot on his career. If you can't see this, you have not given this race shit as much thought as you think.

Niggas or black ppl don't shoot at the movie screen for one
You really can't have shit around niggas though- gotta agree, niggas will steal or niggas will hate or get jealous
Niggas do want credit, at least the ones I know
But he hit it on the head
Niggas love to not know LMAO..bruh that shit burns me up...smh
Niggas don't care about welfare, white folks are the ones shaking in their boots

I believe he said he regret ever doing that skit because of how people took it and the way racists refer to use it as a solid proof of what they are doing is good for the betterment.
It was funny to the lower mind, but in reality it's bad and doesn't support what we been through how we became like this and why this was even made in the first place.

Eveyone got a lil turn up and turn down in em
I love it man. The ability to speak freely and address big fat gigantic elephants in the room.
No, we are not all perfect.
No, our race, or ANY race, are not all bastions of hope and beacons of light
The only problem is ....that admission and conversation left the black community.
Similar to rappers who rap the truth then if they blow and it gets out to the masses
But does that change its purity of the message or how YOU view it?
So if TODAY, Black Girl Lost is covered on CNN and goes mainstream , does that change how YOU feel about? Make it any less true?
If 2nd Childhood suddenly became famous, does that change how YOU feel about it
So when Nas says:
Would the fact that white people get a hold of that change what YOU feel about it? Foh If so them crackas own you and you the real sellout, not Chris Rock.

Baby girl she's always talkin name droppin hangin late
Drinkin smokin hates her baby daddy, craves shoppin
E poppin Ecstasy takin, won't finish her education
Best friend she keeps changin, stuck with limitations
Lustin men, many hotels, Fendi Chanel
With nothin in her bank account frontin she do well
Her kid suffers he don't get that love he deserve
He the Sun, she the Earth, single mom, even worse
No job never stay workin, mad purty
Shorty they call her the brain surgeon
Time flyin she the same person, never matures
All her friends married doin well
She's in the streets yakkety yakkin like she was 12
Honey is twenty-seven, argues fights
Selfish in her own right, polite, guess she's in her second childhood
