I'm old enough to remember when there were no black quarterbacks - there were no blacks on TV. I hope my son or daughter doesn't have to be as fixated on race as I am, because he or she will grow up in freer times.
Chris RockKids raised on a culture of โWeโre not going to keep score in the game because we donโt want anybody to lose.โ Or just ignoring race to a fault. You canโt say โthe black kid over there.โ No, itโs โthe guy with the red shoes.โ You canโt even be offensive on your way to being inoffensive.
Chris RockOnly black people in the whole neighborhood, so let's break it down: Me, I'm a decent comedian, I'm a'ight. Mary J. Blige, one of the greatest R&B singers to ever walk the Earth. Jay-Z, one of the greatest rappers to ever live. Eddie Murphy, one of the funniest actors to ever, ever do it. Do you know what the white man that lives next door to me does for a living? He's a f*****g dentist.
