A little humor from Chris Rock

[SisterInChrist]

Hey ladies...
As I strolled through the Greek Life forum today, I ran across the same Black v. White boards that we usually see here on Greek Chat. I read Chris Rock's book - "Rock This" and ran into some very funny pages that fits that catagory perfectly. I just wanted to quote some things for ya'll...Enjoy

The country is in an uproar. Everybody's mad at each other. It's sad. Black people are mad. White people are mad. Black people yell racism. White people yell reverse racism. Chinese people yell sideways racism. Just what is reverse racism? Is there something white people are not getting? Is there a job a white man didn't get yesterday? Reverse racism is like Mike Tyson saying, "It's not fair; me always having to fight the heavy guys. From now on, I only want to fight lightweights."
Sometimes I hate life because I was a born suspect. All black men are born suspects. When I cam out of my mother, right away, if anything happened within a three-block radius, I was a suspect. As a matter of fact, the day I was born, somebody's car got stolen from the hospital parking lot. They made me stand in a lineup. That was pretty tough, considering I wasn't even a day old and couldn't crawl, much less walk. Good thing I had a couple of black nurses to help hold me up. I got lucky. They were in the line-up, too.
Black people have gone to the Olympics for years, representing America. Not black people, but America. That's the problem with black people. We want to be down. We wanr to be cool. When other ethnic groups get dissed they form their own communities.
Chinese people came over here. They got dissed. They said, "**** you! We got Chinatown. All right? Our own thang."
Italian people came over here. They got dissed. They said, "Yo man, **** you! Little Italy. All right? We got our own thang."
You ever heard of Little Africa?
Didn't think so.
Little Africa is the GHETTO.
Let's see: I don't think we created the ghetto on purpose.
Black people have it bad. At least Chinese and Italians have their own restaurants.
That's right. We don't even have our own food. Soul food is not black food. It's just some nasty **** they fed to the slaves. You think a ham hock tasted good the first time the white man shoved it in our faces? No. We had to cover it in seasoning to make it work. Black people don't even have there own salad dressing, even Paul Newman. Our salad dressing is hot sauce.
Who are the most racist people in the world?
Old black men.
He can't stand white people. Why? Because old black men went through REAL RACISM. He didn't go through that "I can't get a cab" s***. He was the cab. The white man would jump on his back and say, "Main Street".
