I respect the whole "comedian" thing but, sometimes their rhetoric is just ignorant! Chris Rock had this to say about Barack Obama winning the presidency and black women, "I don't think a black woman can be first lady of the United States. Yeah, I said it!" Rock cackles in his cover story in Rolling Stone. "A black woman can be president, no problem. First lady? Can't do it. You know why? Because a black woman cannot play the background of a relation ship. Just imagine telling your black wife that you're presi dent? 'Honey, I did it! I won! I'm the president.' 'No, we the president! And I want my girlfriends in the Cabinet! I want Kiki to be secretary of state! She can fight!' "
As a black woman I say we can! Does he discredit his mother in such a way? What about his two daughters? What about his wife? Perhaps that's why he was laying down with woman of the caucasian persuasion! Chris Rock, just shut up!
