Chris Rock Tweets With Sneer: 'Happy White People's Independence Day'

By Tim Graham | July 04, 2012 | 12:27

Perhaps Chris Rock should consider following Alec Baldwin out the Twitter door after this sneering Fourth of July tweet at all his white fans (and patriotic people of every race):  "Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren't free but I'm sure they enjoyed fireworks".

This is the same guy that compared the Tea Party to bratty racist kids who act insane before they go to bed:

“I actually like it, in the sense that—you got kids?” asked Rock. “Kids always act up the most before they go to sleep. And when I see the Tea Party and all this stuff, it actually feels like racism’s almost over. Because this is the last—this is the act up before the sleep. They’re going crazy. They’re insane. You want to get rid of them—and the next thing you know, they’re f—-ing knocked out. And that’s what’s going on in the country right now.”

Well, Chris

Rock, I'm sure there is a fine thatched hut ready for you somewhere on the continent of Africa. I know I am not the only white person out there who wishes you would relocate your ungrateful self. And, for the record, you are about as funny as cancer.

Yeah, I've never noticed that ANY of these racist punks - who love to flap their gums about what a terrible country this is - packing up and moving back to Africa..................and I also don't ever hear them shootin' (Obamaspeak) off their big mouths about all of the other countries who were more heavily involved in slavery than we were, including the mooooooooooooooooooooooslem countries, who STILL engage in slavery.

And unfortunatly for us, we've got a big-mouthed African in the White House right now who is bound and determined to put us in the same economic and political category as most parts of Africa........................although you can bet your last hard-earned dollar that he will never move back there either!!!

Moving back to Africa

Submitted by Tugboat Phil on Wed, 07/04/2012 - 2:19pm.

There was a reporter for some major media outlet about 15-20 years ago. He decided to pull up stakes and move to Africa. He figured that being black, he'd fit right into the "homeland." As in any geographical relocation, the natives viewed him as just an outsider, but a "rich American" at that.

I'm not sure if he lasted a year or two, but he realized that he was an American and came home. He wrote a book about it but I can't remember the title. I heard him interviewed on the radio when the book was first printed. He had a good story to tell.

President Obama is a Muslim (from his own lips), Kenyan (read it from his publicist) a homosexual (read it on a news magazine cover) and a Socialist (I'm alive and can see it for myself)

I recommend Darfur

Submitted by OhioHistorian on Wed, 07/04/2012 - 2:17pm.

I recommend a place in Africa that practices slavery today. I understand Darfur is such a place. Chris, I will contribute toward a one-way ticket.

Maybe Chris could also recommend that US people get off the Government plantation and quit being slaves to the Executive Branch. I would very much like to get off the healthcare plantation myself. I used to have freedom there; not now. Massa tells me what I have to buy, that I have to buy, and has control over what I pay.

Does Chris Rock even comprehend the number of "honkies" who died or were maimed so that his ungrateful, black ass could be free? My great grandfather, RIP, was one who fought and lived through it. Had he not survived, I wouldn't be here typing this. People like Chris Rock, Al Sharpton & Jessie Jackson PERPETUATE the racial divide in this country. F*** them all.

The first legal SLAVE in America

Submitted by dmacleo on Wed, 07/04/2012 - 4:18pm.

was "owned" by a black man.
iirc there were more white people as indentured servitude than black people.
Northern states outlawed it in 1775 or so, import/export of slaves outlawed in all of US in very early 1800 (1806 maybe?) we fought bloody war over it in 1860's yet us white people are to blame.

To round out Rock's "history"

Submitted by celator on Wed, 07/04/2012 - 4:57pm.

To round out Rock's "history" of Black slavery, Arab Muslims were in the Black slave trade for over a thousand years before the "white man" engaged in the practice, and, in fact, still practice Black slavery (check Darfur). The Arab Muslim slave trade numbered about 11 million humans bought and sold on the black slave market. Some put the number as high as 28 million.

Currently, Orthodox Muslims do not consider Black Muslims as real Muslims and they believe Farrakhan is basically a fool. Their word for Black person or Negro translates to "slave". How's that for the freedom you refuse to acknowledge, Chris?

That explains a lot

Submitted by jon_torlin on Thu, 07/05/2012 - 11:24am.

That explains a lot of things, look at how Obeyme was standing next to the King of Saudi or whoever that was and there were dignitaries that were shaking hands with the king but most pointedly ignored that guy standing next to him who was the bogus potus.  They must have mistaken him for a slave.

As for Rock himself, well, every time he opens his mouth, he sinks lower than he has before in what makes him a scumbag.

There are some movies I'll watch even though there might be some actors I can't stand or just do not like, but there are some movies I won't watch unless their character gets killed.  Last movie I saw with Rock in it was Dogma and I thought that was a pretty funny movie and I liked most of the actors that were in it.  But knowing Rock's standing, just having him in the movie totally ruins the movie for me.

Funny how these dumn sonso'b!tches shoot themselves in the foot though.

Look It Up

Submitted by Utherpend on Thu, 07/05/2012 - 2:49pm.

Chris needed to pay attention in school better and perhaps he would understand that before the first Caucasian set foot on the Americas soil there were already slaves and slavery in practice. Almost every major Native American tribe in the continent of North and South America had been capturing, buying and selling slaves for a thousand years. The practice didn’t stop until they lost their numbers in the late 1800's and were forced onto reservations where the practice was outlawed.
