Chris Rock "Never Scared"

Did anyone have an opportunity to catch this last night?
This is why I love Chris Rock. He bought up some very valid points, aside from his usual does of "Relationship Drama" lol

He discussed Affirmative Action, Slavery, the War in Iraq, Greedy Americans...a wide range of things.
What are your thoughts on it?

I missed like the first 15 minutes but it was PURE comedy! Someone told me he gave up cursing...

Gave it up? Well, he definitely didn't use as much profanity as his previous shows. It was still HILARIOUS and oh so true. That's why I love his shows. He can be silly and still get his point across.

Not as much profanity? Wow....my ears must be overly sensitive then. I thought the show was very funny as well, but thought there was too much unnecessary profanity.

Really?
He says "N..GG" a lot....but that's about it.
Welp, I don't know about all that. I really didn't pay much attention to it, the topics were what interested me.
He made arguments I have been making for some time now, not that way of course...lol, but making them all the same.

Like Rich vs Wealthy, so many folks don't get that. Especially people of color, they have it so confused, living in false superiority. Chris was on point.

I didn't get to see his show, but I watched a documentary the other night and he was talking about how the concert hall was the same one where Marian Anderson was refused the opportunity to give a concert. I am not all to keen on his profanity or his use of the n-word, but he is one of the sharpest wits in entertainment.

I read an interview with him, I want to say Ebony Magazine, but I'm not sure.
He's seemingly very well-educated. Not in the sense of college degrees, but he knows what's going on and expresses himself quite well. That is a rarity with today's comedians.
