It comes down to pointing out blakcs living in a white America, etc. etc.

Is his routine dead on? Nope. Is he a funny motherfucka? Yep. But just like Bernie Mac's routine, "it's not about black and white. It's about jokes", and if something some comedian says has that big an impact on your daily or day-to-day life, I have two words for you..

"Seek Help".


I agree, Chris is my fave comedian, I have seen him live and also have followed his career. With Chris Rock, you either hate him or love him, and I can understand and see why some would consider his racial jokes offensive, but at the end of the day they are just jokes. Nothing serious! Besides Chris, majority of all comedians make racial jokes. It is just to make you laugh, nothing else. Don't take it personal.
