Chris Rock always been on that funny but true tip

Yup.

When he talks about the license to be bad and learn and come back.

I think about Head coaching jobs in college and professional. Lionel Hollins sat home for a whole entire year after just barely missing the finals the previous year.

A black head coach gets one chance, meanwhile Mike D'antoni can't fuck his way up OUT of money. He sux here, they give him a bigger contract there. Shit is astounding.

Always heard this story from my parents, not sure I will use it moving forward as I sometimes feel it as a limiting effect.

I "think" Black people can demand excellence from within, without always setting the plateau of success relative to a group of people that constantly change the rules, everytime we reach the highest level of any field .

I don't want to be anything other Black, and I don't really want to ever devolve into the ill nature that has allowed a oppressive group to dominate the world stage post 1500.

Chris Rock is mostly on point, but sometimes he seeks a comedic view, to lighten the load of the listener, on topics that really require serious attention and less giggling .

Hollins would had to win a title (knock'em out). his last year, to stay with Memphis, but I think he was setup to lose. Memphis played their worst game that season when it counted the most.

In corporate america or in high paying jobs you cannot suck at all. White people suck all the time and get promoted.

I remember that black guy who finally got on at the beer plant as a driver and was so thrilled. The only black person at the entire facility. He was proud of himself. He had landed his dream job. Only a week or two in he got caught "stealing" a case of beers. Did he do it... Fuck yeah he did. They fired him... He came back Locked and Loaded. Postal Rampage style and murked a dozen or so racist crackers and then offed himself, one shot to his own head.
Crackers on the internet had a field day on why they should not hire black people. "Called him ****** this and ****** that" Sounded feasible to be critical (not racist) until you look more closely. Did he take the beer??? YES he stole a case of beer. The reality of it is that ALL the drivers pilfered beers and had been for years... Case loads would be "borrowed" Right out in the open right in front of management by white drivers who bragged about it. Never a word is said. As soon as a black man takes a single beer he gets fired. Shamefully dismissed prosecuted and reminded he is not as good as everyone else and never will be...He probably felt stupid for being proud he landed his dream job. All that hard work and perfect behavior for nothing. His dismissal meant he let his family down. Not only did the white people not care they ruined his chances of ever even driving again, starved his family and laughed at him. I am not saying he should have killed those people, I am saying worst things have happened.

BGOL... How would you handle that situation???

This reminded me of the final lines of hidden colors 3.

Also his special where he says in his neighborhood his next door neighbor is a regular dentist, but the black folks are Eddie Murphy, Mary J Blige and some other black celebs and athletes. Moral being blacks have to be the best of their profession to live there while the white dude just had to be an ordinary CAC:smh:
