What, you thought they would actually let a Black Man into the White House?

Sorry. I dig Chris Rock material. I don't care what color your skin is.

...that was UNTIL they hit the play button on the video!!


I bet most of them almost broke their mouse-clicking finger in attempt to hurry up and play the video so that they can have it quickly forwarded into Hanity, Rush and Levin and the other BOZOS on the radio to show how an African American wants the "white guy"!!


Good stuff Chris Rock!!

^^^No doubt.


I actually wouldn't be half surprised if these shows up as the headline on Drudge. Nine times out of ten the super-hardcore conservative loons don't even bother to read the articles, watch the videos, or check the sources anyways. I cannot count how many times I've seen ATS posts w/ outrageous headlines making incredible claims which then cites a "source" which says the exact opposite. The nuttery surrounding Benghazi right now certainly comes to mind.

Hey Now, I am very familiar with Chris Rock and his schtick. I don't really find him that funny to begin with. I'm all for the mood to lighten, I'm just saying — if this was flipped a whole lot of people would not think its so funny.


Really? I thought it was hilarious when Romney was pretending to be an orange Mexican.

Just sayin'.

Funny, yes. Politically relevant, no.

I think the message was more for non white voters the anything. Just because Chris Rock, a black comedian, supports Romney, must mean he is real progressive.

That is the real joke

LMAO you totally didn't watch the video...



OH WOW!!!

As if to prove my point in this post... www.abovetopsecret.com...

You can't make this stuff up, people. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

LOL...that was hysterical....some very funny observations......but I also think he was trying to use humor to show how absurd this whole 2 party, there's a "difference" system is.......it would have been interesting had he actually endorced a canidate...in my dreams Gary Johnson....


One more day my fellow Americans, and we see how this all unfolds...we all know the likely "rigged" outcome....sure hope a strong showing for a third party will be represented in this election.....but I'm an optomist......thanks for the laugh.......

If Chris Rock was white, would this video be perceived as racist? just saying....

It is more socially acceptable to make fun of white people because of history. Black people suffered from legal discrimination up until ONLY 50 years ago. There are many black people still alive who were part of the civil rights movement. The USA is still a pretty racist place.

Chris Rock makes fun of all everyone anyway.





It's called comedy.

To be fair there aren't many comedians black or white who could pull off this kind of humor without coming off as being racist. Chris Rock happens to be one of the few. One white comic I can think of who could get away with a skit like this might be Jon Stewart of the Daily Show. IMO

I would like to point out that racism has nothing to do with the subject. Which as far as i can discern is politics!

I said i would like to point it out.................... but in America race allways seems to come into play! Same in my own UK.

Why cant it just be funny??? LoL

If it was funny, it should be viewed as comedy. I love racist comedy and I hate racism. To me for the most part, the comedians don't seem to be really racist.

Everyone is different. I was with a bunch of friends, I have a lot of white friends, watching Louis CK, the room got quiet when when he got to his N-word bit. I ways the only one laughing.

My belief is that just about anything can be funny, if done correctly.

Here is an example of CK's humor.

Thats the problem with "white folk". They are too serious. Lighten up! Thats why they call it "comedy". Levity and humor.

Thats why there are wars and riots and poverty. If you can't laugh about the injustices then you aren't "human"istic.

But Neocionservativechurchbotrepublicans don't get that. They are mostly afraid all the time that someone is going to get them or their stuff. Just look. They started a war on "terror".

Lions and Tigers and bears... Oh My!

Yes, Chris Rock is "funny". Obama, all the way for him. Don't like him, but, i giggled. Cos i know, as others, it is a lose lose situation in the end.

No difference, no matter whom you vote for. Only difference is color, with the same outcome. Not¿.

Obviously you didnt look at the vid if you think that Chris is endorsing Romney. The "White" guy he is endorsing is Obama.
