[@pleasepleasethebees]

Love what Chris is saying here, which I think is: don't expect us to pat you on the back for becoming baseline humane during the civil rights era. Don't expect a pat on the back when we finally get you to do what you should've been doing all along. That's profound and true. It's like being in an abusive relationship. Don't give the abuser kudos for not hitting you. Not hitting is the baseline for how humans ought to treat one another.

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).

[@KevinJohnson-sd3vv]

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!

[@ShogunnxYT]

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

Some people misconstrue what Chris was saying. The things being asked during the Civil Rights movement were simple and basic. Things that SHOULD have been a given... Not much to ask at all.

[@vickiepaul8258]

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.

[@gregfoles5480]

@@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.

[@dasmartretard]

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....

[@candacen7779]

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.

[@gregfoles5480]

@@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.

the 'ask' was different at the time, not only [as some of the commenters have mentioned] because there were different legal issues; but because people's minds and hearts were in a very different place. some battles can only be fought after other battles have been won. being able to have a dialogue makes a difference. I was a kid then, but I remember the psychological impacts of the civil rights movement very clearly, and I know that today's changes are rooted there.

[@elliesings9508]

Mr Rock, I love you but READ about the Civil rights struggles of the '50-60's. Legally, our civil rights lawyers both black and white fought for our legal rights (the right to vote, the right to NOT be discriminated against especially in employment, the right to access to equal education, the housing rights). It was SO MUCH MORE THAN eating at the counters. Many blacks, in the Midwest and West didn't live under Jim Crow laws. Smart black southerners that didn't want to go to HBCUs had to leave the South to get a college educations.

[@julie91295]

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

[@julie91295]

@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.

It wasn’t enough, but it was way more than just lunch counters.

@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.

Great convo! I love Chris' perspectives and happy for his ability to have access to professionals to learn more in life. I agree with his comments on the "Ask" and believe that in a way things were/are orchestrated to keep those in power there. And how we view & portray ourselves play a part...if we do not see ourselves as equal why should anyone else? We are our biggest advocates FIRST. Equality is STILL the problem cuz the colored population can list every inequality experienced related to who has access and who does not as well as access to information on access itself. Lol.

As a person who grew up reading a lot about the speeches of Dr. King, Malcom X, Mandela, the activities of the Civil Rights Movement and the Apartheid Struggle, I disagree with Chris Rock on sitting at the “lunch table”. For example, the CRM was only started with Rosa Parks in the bus just as a catalyst for the rest of the movement and the point was to eventually change everything including equal opportunities on education, jobs, etc. So sitting at the lunch table was just a symbolism to say we want equality. Black people never really wanted to sit at the table with people who hate us. Having said that, I watched that episode of Empire where Chris Rock was a prison boss. I just wondered why he would kill a part like that and only do one episode. We deserve to see Chris Rock as a villain in an entire movie. Hearing him say he finally did such a movie is great news indeed!

[@anotherpointofview222]

I think he made a good point. Didn't seem like a lot to ask. And it isn't if it wasn't for the reason it's an ask at all. But depending on who you were, it's a pretty big ask. In a sense you are asking someone, a (class of ) people, to give up its "identity." To deny themselves the status, the position, the priveleges, the beliefs that served to define who they were, and their superior position in society.

How about those black owned businesses actually contribute to the community to have our money recycle thru the neighborhood a couple times before leaving to white hands?

[@smokey5lbc1]

Reading some of these comments... I just don’t know where to even begin. I want to believe that people aren’t this obtuse, but the ability for people to take in information they don’t agree with at the outset and logically process it, seems practically lost. Anyone that has followed Chris Rock as a comedian knows that he is well informed and knowledgeable, particularly about the history of America and black Americans. If you’ve read or seen interviews with him, those are evidence to support what he does know and understands. The point he made (clearly, to me) was that asking for equality requires substantive change, not change in form. The substance was about equality. That all Americans have an equal access/treatment/experience. The form could be equal together (integration) or equal apart (segregation). What’s more important: that the symbols of inequality are removed (integrated lunch counters; no more “colored only” signs), or actually having REAL opportunities to succeed and being given equal treatment? In other words, does going from segregation to integration change anything if the people aren’t treated equally in either scenario? Integration, like segregation, does not define equality. Integration on its own can make people believe that equality exists, but it does not on its own establish equality. Segregation wasn’t just about being separate. The initial premise was “separate but equal.” The problem was about the lack of equality; the actual separation was secondary to that. Put another way, segregation itself did not cause or create the inequalities experienced by blacks in America. Everything designed for black people was either actually inferior or deemed inferior. Example: black engineer trained at a black college was not “equal” in qualification as a white engineer trained at a “white” or traditional college. Integration and civil rights said, in essence, that a “white” college could no longer deny a black person from attending simply because the person was black. What it didn’t address was whether or not the education being obtained at the black college actually WAS inferior. It didn’t set out to dispel the belief that blacks themselves were inferior, and therefor not really qualified to be engineers. Therefor, it isn’t surprising that it didn’t create any real barriers against schools using other “enrollment criteria” to disqualify a black student from attendance. At the end of the day, if a black person has the same (equal) financial prospects as a white person (access to bank loans at the same interest rates; compensation/wages), and is provided the same (equal) opportunities for advancement (education; jobs/businesses; property; etc.), then does it really matter if black people and white people are sitting together at a lunch counter eating? Shopping at the same stores? Banking at the same banks? That is Chris’s point. If the black lunch counter has the same menu, same quality of food, same prices, all things substantive are equal. The ONLY difference is who can eat where. What then are either the black or white patrons of the respective establishments missing? Whether you or I personally (in 2020 or 1960) want the “freedom” to eat where we want, is honestly secondary to whether or not we have equal access to the food we eat. Integration in America, at its core, presumed that the only way for blacks and other persons of color to have equality was to give them “access” to the same things whites had WHERE white people were having it. Just because you take a sign down, doesn’t change your attitude about whether or not “coloreds” are allowed or even wanted in an establishment. The Civil Rights Act says people of color can sue, but if you know anything about a lawsuit, you know it’s not as simple as strolling up to the court clerk and saying, “I want to sue because I was discriminated against.” The line between discrimination and one’s right to whom they associate with is not a bright one (a country club, for example, does not have to accept all applicants for membership). So again, the whole point with “what’s the ask,” is not to say that those who fought for civil rights did nothing or wasted their time. It’s about bringing clarity to what fundamentally has to change. And that includes making sure we are all on the same page of knowing WHAT we are truly asking for. As Chris Rock stated, integration destroyed many of the areas/fields where blacks in America had managed to become successful during segregation (e.g., the Negro Leagues). Equality doesn’t START with integration. It starts with saying the Negro Leagues are “equally” as good as what we now call the MLB. Jackie Robinson was so good, the white players where privileged to play with him; not he was lucky to get to play with them. What good was integration as a priority before equality? If we had truly been separate AND equal, would civil rights still have occurred? The way it did? If there was true equality, I doubt we’d need to talk about integrated vs segregated. That wouldn’t matter as much, because opportunities would still be equally available; supply and demand capitalism would still sway positions. It would truly be just an issue of choice. I don’t care if I never break bread with my next door neighbor, and we never step foot in each other’s houses. I do care if the city we live in is providing him with better services and infrastructure than it does to me. Our houses being separate does not impede our rights and privileges from the city being equal. And that’s the point. Equality has the priority. The form is secondary. (And my neighbor and I get along just fine.)

He makes it sound like "sitting at the table" is completely independent from equality, as if you can have one without the other. There can't be any equality where there's hate and division. Especially if that hate comes from the people in power. Sitting at the same table is a prerequisite for equality.

[@puchi1388]

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.

[@bridgebridgebridge]

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".

[@alvaromoe]

@@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.

[@maggiem.5904]

Chris Rock, I think you are posing a good question, but I think you are wrong in saying that the achievements of the civil rights movement were “cosmetic”. I know that for me as a white woman, traveling through the USA has been generally a pleasant experience. If you were traveling and there was no place that would allow you to stop and eat, or go to the bathroom, or spend the night because of your color, that is more than cosmetic. I understand his point that Jackie Robinson being allowed to play in the white leagues was the beginning of the end for the black leagues. But I have read how black teams often had problems like no place they could sleep when traveling. Don’t denigrate Rosa Parks’s revolutionary action - to sit down in an empty seat because she was dog-tired from working on her feet all day. You are right that what matters is how people feel about themselves, and if they feel good about themselves, it shouldn’t matter how other people feel about them. Shouldn’t, but it does, except for the most spiritually advanced individuals. Someone who grew up in NYC in the 1930s told me that white people did not sit next to black people on the subway. There was no written rule, nobody told her not to, it just wasn’t done. When I lived in NYC in the 70’s, everybody sat wherever there was a seat. You are right, it should not be a privilege to be respected and valued as a human being, but that it true of many essential things that have been denied to many, if not most, human beings over the centuries since we have had “civilization”. You said that the civil rights movement of the 60s didn’t do anything of substance because they didn’t ask for any money, just to take down colored signs and let you sit with white people. You are wrong. It was also about jobs and wages. It was about housing, health care, education. It was about black people feeling good about themselves and about community. It was about a lot more than you say. It was about integration, because even if people did have separate-but-equal lives, they would see the other group as “other”. It is easy to demonize and mistreat those who are “other”. The Civil Rights movement was about creating movement in the right direction. It was about white people joining with black people to create this. It was about breaking down rigid social structures that supported injustice. It was about reducing prejudice - not a term you hear now, but a good one. It was about creating possibility. It was a psycho-spiritual movement. It got derailed. Rap in the 90s became all about bling - rappers bragged about hanging out with Donald Trump - big money was their big ask. Some achieved that goal. Empty. Nonetheless, the progress that was made in the 50s and 60s created the steps on which you stand. Their achievements only seem insignificant to you now because they are normal now. It is a good question, what is the “ask” of the current civil rights movement. I think the big ask of the Black Lives Matter movement is for white people to understand the unending daily difficulties and dangers that black people face just because they are black, and to make a fundamental change in their attitudes. You are right, this is a bigger ask than changing regulations and overt public behaviors. You can follow the laws and allow a black person to sit next to you at the counter, but still let them know non-verbally that you don’t want them there. You can make racist jokes and expect them to laugh in order to be accepted, then brag about it to other white people. (This is different from non-malicious cross-cultural blunders). Or you could live in a community with no black people and feel like black people’s problems have nothing to do with you, or be fearful of their problems invading your community, or resentful, believing that blacks and other non-whites receive the lion’s share of government resources. The Black Lives Matter movement is challenging white people to understand that they are privileged. Most white people who are not rich do not think they are privileged - they say that the advantages they take for granted are just the way it should be - not a privilege - and if they are well enough off, that they have earned what they have. I think many white people misunderstand the name, Black Lives Matter. To them it means non-black lives don’t matter. They don’t understand that Black Lives Matter is meant to counter what black people encounter every day - the attitude that their lives literally don’t matter just because they are black. If these white people supported BLM, to them it would mean saying that their own lives don’t matter. They are frightened that their lives, their way of life, will be destroyed. That’s why they counter with All Lives Matter - which is then understood by some people to mean that they think that black lives don’t matter - which it doesn’t necessarily mean to the people who said it. Yes, the Black Lives Matter movement is asking to break down institutional racism, obviously focusing on policing. But beyond changing the rules and restructuring how our institutions work, we are asking people to change fundamental attitudes - to raise consciousness - another phrase from the 60’s. Because that is what will fundamentally change the multitude of negative interactions that impact black people’s lives, from minor to severe, including those that can’t be regulated. I think one attitude that needs to change is that people see race as a solid physical reality. Race is more of a cultural identification than a genetic fact. It is a spectrum of traits on which we land in a particular spot, an identity given to people by the society in which they find themselves. Look at the debate over whether or not Kamala Harris is really African-American or not. She was born in America. Her mother is Tamil. Her father is a black man from Jamaica, so she has African ancestors. Jamaica is in the Americas. But some people complained that she is not really African-American, she is Jamaican-American. Other people of east Indian ancestry were excited about her VP nomination because they identify with her as Indian. Caribbean people were excited because of her Jamaican ancestry. These are cultural distinctions, not genetic distinctions - her genetics don’t change depending on who claims her, or how she identifies herself. People don’t like it if they can’t categorize someone one way or the other. That’s why this is a big ask. We are asking people to reach outside their own sphere, to create room for empathy and understanding for others of different groups. That is the starting point - empathy. Then we can choose right actions. Such things do not change easily or quickly. They have been changing, but not enough - we need a quantum leap to a higher level now.
