Chris Rock - Finding the “Ask” of Today’s Racial Justice Movement | The Daily Social Distancing Show 

@LaMortEtLamour , so, I've noticed that all people who mention Epstein, are Trump supporters... and 100% of them ignore that Trump did a whooooole bunch of stuff with Epstein, and was under the watch of Trump's DOJ lapdog when his "suicide" happened... your thoughts?

@LaMortEtLamour lol, "kicked them out of his estate"... funny suff. Citizens protesting are barbarians, but the PA to the pedo gets "I wish her the best"... you keep up with that shrewd sleuthing!!

@Johnny ...and yet, he still wished Gislaine well... not sure how you breathe with you head stuck so far in, but I wish you luck

@Johnny , got a video of Biden partying with Epstein?... there's lots of Trump with Epstein

@Johnny , you mean like Trump numerous times telling people in interviews he'd love to bang his daughter? like just after she was born being curious how big her tits were going to be?... you have those videos of Biden doing the same?... because it's like Trump's Epstein-is-my-buddy videos, lots of them out there. Trump and Trumpers are all the way openly pathetic.

Sherral, Love what You as saying here. As they say, some people get it, while other don't or won't.

It reminds me of Chris Rock's bit about not giving a father a pat on the back for doing the bare minimum of what a father is supposed to do (i.e., "I take care of my kids." Fool, you're SUPPOSED to take care of your kids).

YES. Sherral S good point. A lot of us as black folks protest because we want white folks to say, "OK BLACK FOLKS WE ACCEPT YOU AS OUR EQUAL----BULLSHIT !!!! So when white folks accept black people does that mean we are going to stop the protest. We as a black community needs equalization and equity within our own , and stop wanting what white folks got because most WF don't have as much as we think!

😢❤️

@Johnny Johnny, the more you post this the more apparent it becomes it's how you feel about yourself and nobody cares. ...poor thing.

I'm too uptown for this shit! Is what I used to say 😉💪🏾💯

@@jashanestone but that’s actually kind of elitist. Downtown people deserve to be treated as equally as you.

So true 😂

You sound like a teenager. Chris Rock is a comedy legend.

we in Russia love this cartoon. Still.🦓🦓🦓

YES, he does look at lot like that zebra

True that,,Chris was deep

I pick it up when he said "powers that be"

That was deep

@LaMortEtLamour "climbing in his ass" 🤣🤣🤣 Tell us how you really feel!🤣👍

this shows more of what the media is trying to carve out for us. Chris Rock is doing nothing but speaking unfiltered common sense. Most folks DONT actually even have the same fight as the media is saying we do. People who REALLY grew up in racism see today as almost a cakewalk. Back then , folks were mistreated while doing nothing or something positive. Today, most media publicized racism is based on some kind of wrong doing by the victim at the core. However since that reality isnt popular these days folks ignore that and make up a huge cloud of mess. Todays hurdles are almost nonexistent in common place. Unfortunately, the ones with pure common sense ALSO learned to be quite if it dont involve them or theirs. So these other folks get to run amok with the "dangerous times in 2020" story

Nothing more than a racist.

@@ShogunnxYT There is no cakewalk🙄. That isn't anything related to what he is saying. He is saying the messaging and the ask MUST be clear, as it was in the sixties. He is NOT saying that racism isn't real. He is saying we need to organize better and to be clear about demands. MLK and Malcom X were very clear. Today, nobody is leading well.

@@franklyspeaking4480 Not Chris Rock....he's not racist, just speaks ''Truth''.....or perhaps...whatever he does, he does it well... Truthfully....I love the man...he's brilliant,, and rich, and handsome..... and black...and honest...and empathetic, who are you to judge him?...🤡.NOBODY?😇

This aged well

Yeah, Chris said Like, 12 Deep things this great interview- but that one struck me too- a real Concept changer

🤯

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Right???

TRUTH TO CHRIS ROCK! The great Josh Gibson hit a ball OUT of Yankee Stadium at top speed, BUT his thing was that he wanted Joe DiMaggio to notice him.......WTF!!

It's the therapy. Stress is a mother. So he's feeling better, looking better😉

Yes, he looks fabulous! He actually looks 20 yrs younger. 💜☮️💜

@@KDSlady1 You're so right, I think that's what it is.

@@KDSlady1 I agree! I'm going through the same. Two years ago I lost a lot of weight and had a mental shift after visiting Thailand. Got hit with some 'life' and now I'm back where I started... but I'm going to transform again. Sounds like I need to check out Tambourine!

Good point Tareene. I see the same in most of the countries which has diverse nationalities as citizens & the system is still per quota basis & etc.

Could not have said it better

@Morgan Brandy great minds...

Ok! Those hair lines are full and healthy looking. I think I'm little jealous.

I love that we were thinking the same thing! 😍❤️

All his interviews were damn good!

You should look up his recent interview on the breakfast club it’s soooo good

The Ask should also be compensation for what was stolen from us...and that shouldn’t really be an “Ask”

Love Love Love to this comment. I wish there were more freds.

the ask is just stop the bull s/. its been 60 years for petes sake. we've contributed to every part of this nation. just stop the bulls/

i saw this comment as soon as he said it looool

@@evelynmooney6467 Acts?

Right? Chris Rock looks amazing here!

he's really in his 50s? Or is that just the part he played.

@@dianeodify he is 55yrs old!

Preach!! I'm 41.......only children call him old....lol!!!

Technically in the art world, it is just over the border into old although he doesn't look it. The seasons of life are divided every Myriad, 10000 days. But there is a certain wisdom with him.

@Henry R. What differences? They don't have differences....And what's to reconcile? They're two black men...with lots of ''Love''....and admiration, for each other. Don't speak of a difference, when there is none! Un.....less...you're referring to their ''COLOR''......about a difference. Forget it Henry. Both of their mothers' are.. Black...That's more than ''Enough''.... You're probably, the only person in the World...who thinks like this...Evil!

@@vivianclaiborne7653 philosophical differences. They were openly expressed in the interview. Nothing wrong with that, people can disagree.

Those were the issues of that day. Sitting at food counters when you're hungry, staying in a hotel when you've been driving for hours. Sitting wherever you wanted to on a bus, drinking from any water fountain, going to any school. It was necessary for the times.

@@vickiepaul8258 I'm totally aware of that. So the "ask" was to treat black Americans as Americans. And that's exactly the point. It wasn't asking for anything that should conceivably be considered difficult or unreasonable to white people. Yet somehow, it was.

yeah, but also they gave only what they had to. For example the reply you got with regards to hunger. They could have dug deep and made sure all loans to poc were fair and just and made sure there was nothing to impede a poc from starting their own business any where and every where, but instead of giving them that power to provide for themselves, they let the black man eat with the white man. I think that is what the issue is. I know people will look at the letter of the law and say name one thing a black man can't do, and i will never debate with people like that. i'm not disagreeing with your comment, merely noting where i think the confusion lays with other replies. They don't understand the difference between being equal as a society and being allowed to eat the same scraps....

I disagree. Chris is simply wrong. Everything we are asking for now -- equity -- was exactly what we asked for back then. If it's simple and basic back then, then it's simple and basic right now as well. Nothing has changed in the ask. It's the same ask. To paint it as a simple ask of "sitting at lunch counters" is to show an ignorance toward what was actually fought for and demanded at that time.

@@candacen7779 IMO you think it "ignorant" because you took the "lunch counter" analogy literally, rather than as a representative of mundane acts that today, we take for granted. I do agree when you say that all of it boils down to "equity". But I must restate the point that the "ask" should never be hard for white people to swallow. Not then, and not now.

He looks better than ever! Beautiful smile.

He aged very well

❣❣❣❣😘 yes

Enterprise1701J Never been attracted to him but I was like , ‘wait a minute. Intelligence is sexy.

It's just you lol

Yes. Imagine every Batman villain another race. Interesting

@@Webbgurl2000 It's literally kid comics. Relax lol. You're not a kid anymore.

@@EpicFandomVogue we are! We are proud of it. Guys are kids the whole life! I'm still gaming and watching animes and reading mangas. And I love it 😁

YESSSSS

❤

ignorance is a product of greed. Greed should be included in the DSM-6 as a mental illness. Because it is. irrational hoarding that hurts others *(like not funding schools to reduce ignorance by channeling money to the already sick hoarders)

@@clumsiii I agree with you there!

@@clumsiii interesting tidbit: one of my psychology professors told me that there's discussion about putting racism in the DSM. I think that's fascinating.

@@sonja4164 indeed! I should read more academic papers to see how this is coming along. The pathologies are so clear..*and i'm a layperson : studied enviro science, don't know much besides hearsay on psych studies

We first have to recognize that there is a problem and work on building character and self love. when a people have been beaten down since slavery they come to believe they do not deserve better but they have to realize that and do better with themselves and in their communities.

LOL- right ???

Actually “equity.” It’s an important distinction.

@LaMortEtLamour: So you mean that people should hold you liable for the things your friends do?

Pookie

...with better teeth

I might be assuming here, but I think he meant to express that he didn't think people pushed hard enough in the 60s. More than just voting rights, I think he was saying black people at the time settled for less than the bare minimum. The result is on paper they might have "equal" rights. However, in reality, the discrimination and lack of access is still there. Banks were still giving higher rates for loan for black people, black kids still don't have equal access to education, black neighborhood still live in poverty and can't afford access to many basic living standards. Black people have thrive regardless, however, the root of the problem were never truly address. Of course the accomplishment they achieve back then was great, but it was barely the minimum. I think black people have been mistreated for so long that the ability to achieve that minimal level of control felt like something to celebrate and the momentum sort of fizzle a lot after. As significant as that time was, I think what Chris Rock tried to express more or less is it's really nothing worth celebrating to achieve less than basic rights, bc the systemic issues were still there. That's why decades later and we are still having to have a debate over why killing a black person for walking too fast is wrong, why we are still in awe when a black person get a seat at the table. True equality is when it's no longer a big deal when a black man succeed because all black people were able to afford the same quality of life and baseline as any white people in America. It takes more than the government can "allow" in the 60s. I understand what he's getting at. Obviously without the changes in the 60s, we won't even be where we are at today. However, society got complacent and convince themselves that racism is dead, when in reality that is far from the truth. Everyone celebrate a bit too soon and too many injustices done to black communities were normalize. Of course it's a bit of a pessimist view I think, bc it's important recognize any level of progress. However, I get what he is trying say

@Morgan Brandy i don't think he's disrespecting the people put in the work to fight. I think he's commenting on the lost of momentum of the movement itself. It's more of a commentary on the nature of social movements that get started with all its gusto at the start and that gusto wasn't continued through to the end to solve the root of the problem. I mean you can take it how you want but, he grew up as a black person struggling financially and was discriminated against and bullied to the point he had to drop of out high school. He's commenting on what he wants to see from the movement that can create sustainable stability to black communities this time around. I think he has the right to express that opinion. You don't have to agree, but he is allowed to feel how he feel, not all black people feel the same. The main point he's trying to get across is the lack of real capital invested into black community to truly bring up black lives and help them afford the basic base line in education, healthcare, financial stability, etc. that any white American does. He used a controversial comment on the Civil rights movement in the 60s as a springboard to get to his main point of racial injustice today. He's a comedian. They tend to do that a lot. I know he's not performing, but it could just be how he's used to talk. I don't see the point of nitpicking the surface while missing the really true point he's trying to make. I don't agree with that part of his comment either, but I can agree with the point he's trying to make.

I already voted a week ago but if I would have heard this it would've reassured me that I made a good decision. BTW, if early voting is available where you are, do it as fast as possible. You get to avoid crowds, you get a 2nd chance if something goes wrong at the voting station, you get to avoid possible future obstacles like weather, suppression, location changes and etc.

😄😄😄

Trump is %100 better than this lame...

Is like voting for the devil vs satan.

@@ranmashin No it's not. I dislike when people act like both candidates are evil and one is just the lesser. Trump is on a whole other plane than anyone else. He is the exception to the rule, in a bad way. This is clearly a vote of crazy vs stable. Y'all pulled that trick last time with Hillary and Trump and you see what that got us. Stop with the false equivalence.

all without freeing willie at unsuspecting women.

@@vienogola1421 Women who all consented.

Thank you! Chris is normally so educated when he talks, but there was a lot of arrogance in this interview. We aren't asking for anything now that our parents and grandparents weren't asking for then. It was never just about lunch counters, but it's important to remember that they were willing to lynch us just for demanding to be treated equally enough to sit at the same lunch counters they sat at.

Agreed. They assassinated Dr. King shortly after he started a movement for economic equality.

They did the best they could with what they had at the time. Appearances do matter. We can learn the lessons and take a step up without denigrating the efforts of those before us.

Thank you!!!! Black communities were actually stronger back then!!!!!!!

What the f*** does he mean what are the asks?! Didn't Dave Chappelle literally say people shouldn't be hearing from celebrities? This is why. The template for the revolution was written in the fifties and sixties. Copy and paste. Update for language and changes in laws. Also, BLM I'm pretty sure has its mission statement pretty well-defined at this point as do local leaders and representatives of sister and brother movements. Some m************ just like to hear themselves talk

Right. As a black man, I will never get a check from the government that will lead to any change in status. An advancement in opportunities changes my life and future black lives.

@@evelynmooney6467 just a heads up, I'm going through all the comments and reporting yours, since you spammed everybody with this message & link.

Excuse me?? What about his appearance makes him look unintelligent?? What does that even "look" like

Chris is literally the most intelligent comedian of his time and it shows it all his stand ups.

True, but there was more that needed to be done. Only they killed the leaders that would have pushed for more.

civil rights? forget. America is ruled by anarchy.

@Simon Johansson Chris Rock focused too much on the lunch counters and I think you're taking liberties in assuming he was using it as a metaphor. The "ask" was the vote and if it was really so much nothing, why was it even withheld? People love to come down on the Civil Rights movement as though the Black people then didn't value themselves enough. But they understood something that many now seem not to, that there are stages to progress. No single movement is about to solve everything, there is no magic, only hard work. The "ask" back in the 60s was no small thing for where the country was then, as evidenced by how much violence had to be endured. And if Chris was truly using lunch counters as a metaphor, it was weak and lowkey insulting.

Mip

Is it really equality or equal opportunities? I could care less if the other races look at me as an equal or not. As long as I am not oppressed and attacked, I can make it. I just want the opportunities. You can call me any racial slur out the book in your head as long as it don't stop me from getting that business loan or my people getting into colleges with top teaching.

@@kevonwalker82 I believe it's "equity" with opportunities.

Roma Erb a lot of countries just figure out a way to provide health care to everyone, without the insurance companies as middlemen adding their profit margins of the cost.

Money is the ask. Capital. When you have the money you can sort everything else out on your own. You don't need to come to the table and ask for anything when you have the money. I don't give a damn about the healthcare government officials have. I don't want the crumbs. I want the cake. I want damages for the hundreds of years of wage theft my predecessors suffered. The US federal government locked Japanese people up then paid them. The US federal government stole Native American land then they paid them. The US federal government has had its boot on the necks of black people for centuries and you want healthcare? Psh. You sure you listened to the interview?

Good point. Can I challenge it a bit? Sometimes in life, there are people that just don't care or bother to get to know you, to offer you an opportunity... they made up their mind about you. Sometimes the only way to change their opinion is by action, you not letting their opinion drive you, and just doing you. With having access to the same education, resources and opportunities you are on that path. To do you. I agree sitting at the table is important, for decency, for growth for mutual opportunities, but I don't think it needs to be the first thing.

Not really. You can be "given" a sear at the table, through legal and social pressures, and immediately sidelined. You can be paid a lot of money to show up on a board of directors as the token black person, and it's basically hush money "be seen, be paid and be quiet".

@@puchi1388 Yes, I don't deny that access to education is more important, I agree on almost all your points. The only difference (as I see it) is that I don't believe that equal education can happen if you can't even sit at the same table. It's like pretending to work together with someone who you think doesn't deserve to be working with you. That said, I personally think that they won't change their minds. Not by legislating, not by sitting at the same table, it just won't happen. However, you will have a new generation growing up with people of different skin colors around, naturalizing diversity. And that is, in my opinion, why this gains are more important than they make them sound in the interview.

@@alvaromoe I totally agree!

Everything a psychopathic society, with no conscience, does is cosmetic. Only a delusional person, brainwashed by that same society, would view superficial "progress" as actual, meaningful advances.

If there are no taxes how do you propose to pay for the infrastructure you are demanding?

Come on...you can't have anything if people don't put money in the pot. A country, a city and even a household have to run on a budget and the money has to come from the participants. That's where libertarians and the Trump's of the world fool you, that talk gets THEM out of paying taxes and gets us to pay their share and our share of taxes. No taxes SMH.

No taxes? How about equal percentage of taxes for corporations instead?

It costs somebody So shut up about all this free stuff and work for it your self I am not responsible for you or your choices any more you for me
