1. Obama needs a white girl:

2. "Like he thinks having the most votes is going to mean something"

Funny. But scary and true.

3. Anybody get enough misogyny in Chris Rock's latest?

I thought I was watching a meeting of the he-man woman hater's club. You sure can tell who got the best deal in his divorce, can't you? She even got his overbite.

4. "It's not like we're voting for flava flav." - lol

[Kiwinet]

5. Real Funny!

7. Tries to keep black folks niggers so he can make a buck from the humor

The blacks I know aren't voting because he's black...they are voting for Obama because he is the most qualified person who happens to be black. His blackness is not an issue but Chris Reeks tries to frame everything around ghettos, and niggers because that's his comedy bit. He's funny with it so we let him get away with it...but don't try this at home...or expect this attitude helps Obama win votes...it merely helps Chris make money. He likes to present himself as the nigger you can't call nigger...but though the word really has no meaning anymore, Chris goes out of his way to keep the word alive. When you're indifferent it's not offensive so Chris is allowed to get away with "what kinda nigger is Obama or Rice anyway?...not the Collin Powell type of nigger, huh?"

Remember another extreme was Jesse Healms...and he wasn't funny in the least.

8. "The blacks I know aren't voting because he's black"

If blacks voted for a guy just because he's black, then Michael Steele would be a senator from Maryland.

[shellgame26]

12. or that nitwit Nicky Tinker

in a heavily black district they voted for the white guy over her.

19. Senator Steele's first bill would make baking cookies a hate crime.

For those that don't know. He delivered a speech at Morgan. Which is a prodominantly black college. They threw Oreo cookies at him. But we are determined to find a cookie that does not offend Michael Steele. Thin mints for the fat cat? Aw crap.......

9. It's comedy.

In interviews, he makes his positions very clear. In his comedy routines though, he pushes the envelope. Huge shock.

[susanbanks44]

10. Did the same people say that about Pryor when he would talk on the

subject of race? Like another poster said "It's comedy!"

[urgk]

16. Not only is it comedy...

But try to name more than one other person with this kind of national audience who is saying that black people vote the issues?

Try to name one other person with this kind of exposure who is suggesting that Flava Flav isn't a role model?

It's comedy. And it's an important message.

[Bette Noir]

20. In our culture, comedians are the only ones allowed to tell the truth.

That's why we need the Chris Rocks, the Mel Brookses, and the George Carlins (RIP).

23. Don't forget David Letterman! :)

15. Thank you for that in-depth analysis...

...from the Michael Scott School of Race Relations.

Are you actually trying to help or just trying to stir up crap? Because the Chris Rock you're talking about isn't the Chris Rock in this footage. I'm not sure if you didn't watch the clip or if you just didn't bother to listen, but Chris talks specifically about black people voting for Obama because of the issues, not his skin color. He talks about the TV analysts thinking that black people have scratch and sniff ballots. He says that when they look at white people on the other hand, the pundits talk about issues. He talks about Flava Flav needing to take off the clock and the viking hat and put on a suit...just this year.

I'd respectfully recommend that you edit your first post to sound like you know what you're talking about and not like some white guy who watched Amistad on DVD and thinks it gives him the knowledge and credibility to address the NAACP.

17. Excellent post and welcome to DU.

Trust me, the PC purists on this board are some times worse than the ignorant freepers on the right.

[psychopomp]

11. WHY cut the f'n PUNCHLINE???

:(

[Montauk6]

13. After making fun of community organizers...

... they'd better STFU about the War Hero Got Captured joke!

Also, kudos to the great editing; reminds me of a Zappa live album!

[susanbanks44]

14. The editing is very trippy!

[Caradoc]

18. Frank!

I miss Frank Zappa more and more each day...he would have been indispensible during the Bush years. He pegged the whole fundamentalist-lobbyist-republican connection way back in '82.

"He's got 20 million dollars in his heavenly bank account;
all from those chumps who was 'born again'!...

...and the governnors agree to say 'he's a lovely man';
he makes it easier for them to screw,
all of you,!
Yes, that's true!"


RIP Frank...
