Rock's Crackers - Racist?

What are your thoughts? Chris Rock's Hey-Ya Parody. Ha-Ha-Funny or Ha-Ha-Hell?

Excerpted Lyrics...
These crackers don't mess around, they hate me so, I know for sure.
Lynch niggas since 1660 up to 1950 and a few years more
These crackers they never like me, always want to fight me, stomp me on the floor
Drag niggas from the back of pick-ups and my ass gets sticked up by a two by four (—)


You rape my grandma
ooh, you rape my grandma
My grandma and my great grandma
You can't rape any more??_.


My father??s light skin
Ooh my father's light skin
He hates you cracker fascists
Cause his dick is so small??_.

satori, you didn't answer the question. 😛

i was debating on whether or not to send it to my white folks but i decided against it because i can't figure out if it's offensive or not. i mean, it's clearly a parody, but it's also true, it's funny at times...it's chris rock.

but is it universally funny? are white folks supposed to laugh at it? it's like the blackpeopleloveus.com site. loved it ever since college and i love how there are black folk who are OFFENDED and others who get it off that bat. so will white folks get it or be offended/uncomfortable as a result of it? just wondering.

you haven't posted all day and this is where you decide to make your debut?

are you so desperate for attention that you have to follow me around like a bitch in heat?

you are obviously the product of redneck inbreeding. so let me guess...GED? got knocked up under the bleachers at 17? barefoot and in trailer park by 19?

satori, i dunno. it's sorta like "good hair." it was the opposite of what i thought he would address. he does have a socio-political point of view but i'm not exactly sure if it's just that i don't agree or i don't get it?

another take on the vid

4thwall - yeah, i remember that sketch and that's just my point. i know his comedic style so part of me is like, i know where he's going but where both whites and blacks could laugh at chappelle's comedy, i'm not sure if this video has the same universal appeal.

also, i wouldn't put it past her to stalk the shit out of a stranger. she's clearly unstable. it's not act. it's not "oh, having fun on the internet." she's "not right." "touched" as the old folks say.

Frenchy and i were talking about racism the other day. i think i will send him the vid to see what his perspective is as white male born outside the US.

4thwall, all of my posts are about women related issues/concerns, why aren't you questioning that? 😛

4thwall, people who try to play smart annoy the hell out of me. not all my posts relate to race and if some of them do...surprise, surprise, i wonder why? why don't yours relate to race, culture? is it because you don't care about the world around you or do you prefer homo...geneous situations?

frenchy's reply is...

Racist———? Noooooooooo

Offensive? Nooooooooo. Not to me anyway.

Funny? Made me chuckle ... Pity i couldn't catch alot of the lyrics

you couldn't get my attention earlier today (yeah, i noticed) so now you're going to post incessantly and type incoherent...stuff.

and yes, i'm a geek. proud of it!

@jade...i had to ponder that a bit. i'm not sure his intent was to offend. knowing some of his previous comedy, i'm wondering if it's merely a joke gone too far? like michael richards? race in comedy isn't new/not funny. i think it's a case of not taking his audience into consideration.

waaaaaaaay back when, andrew dice clay would do sexist comedy. men would laugh but women...not so much. he went to far at one point and it was downhill from there.

TOC - you are required to answer the topic before going into scatterbrained libra mode

foreigners are weird. americans are sensitive. i mean, half the crap yall show on tv would be an fcc violation here.

frenchy didnt get the offense at all. the entire discussion about it lasted like 5 min 😛

satori, i haven't watched it. i saw him on oprah and the chicks on my forum were hating on it so i didn't want to invest money into it. will catch it at some point i guess. from the interview, he said he made it for his daughters and all he focused primarily on weaves. i dunno, maybe he was trying to use humor to show how ridiculous the practice of chemical processes/weaves are? if so, i totally missed that from the previews.

Lol...

Shake em like they called you a nigga. Chris rock is stupid. Lol

I wouldn't take him too seriously tho lol...

Those women on oprah who were offended by good hair were just dumb. So not that serious..
U
I enjoyed the movie for what is was worth.

Ms.P - the sad part...i didn't want to laugh, but i couldn't help it 🙂 but if i were white, i'd be pissed.

and i take my hair seriously. i have VERY strong opinions on the subject. relaxers = mutilation. there, i said it.

Chris rock would probabaly agree with you.

I can see why ppl think that but at the end of the day...I'm not giving up my perm lol

yeah, black women with relaxers are the primary contributors to the downfall of the African descendants. but hey, that's just my opinion 😛

satori, yeah, i blame their momma's. it's a damn shame but it is what it is. michael jackson wasn't a fluke. color wise he's what some black folk the world over aspire to.

oh and i wasn't sure if you was negra. thanks for the confirmation 😉
