Road To The White House - Black Men, White Women, Guiliani & Pitbulls (http://dogpolitics.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/03/ya_gotta_love_c.html)
Ya gotta love Chris Rock - always tellin' like it is. That is until now.
In the video "SNL Special Report - Road To The Whitehouse", Chris Rock sums up the field of candidates gearing up for the 2008 presidential election.
Chris Rock comments that John McCain was old even 8 years ago - and that former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani is,
"great in a crisis, but in real life, Giuilani is kinda like a pitbull. He's great when you have a burgler, but when you don't, he just might eat your kids".
Well, Chris - them jus' may be fightin words, but let's go the videotape:
Chris Rock goes on to discuss the Democrats. He says, "Hilary or Obama - a black man or a white woman. It's so hard to make up my mind - it's like a suffering contest!"
Chris asks, "How can you compare the suffering of black men to white women? It's not even close!"
Well, Chris - I'm inclined to agree. But calling Giuliani a pitbull is kinda like calling a black man a white supremacist.
But Chris - if you want to there - then let's compare the suffering of black men to pitbulls - that probably a better comparison.
Ok - so let's see - what kind of silly reasons to do black men and pitbulls get shot for? How about:
He looked at me funny
He moved "aggressively"
He was gonna shoot me
He was gonna bite me
He was gonna attack me
He had a funny look in his eye
It was a black man - they are all criminals anyway
It was a pitbull - they are all criminals anyway
Because I can get away with it - he's only a ..................
It's not like black men and pitbulls have anything in common, right?
It's not like the media and polticians think that the only people who would own a pitbull are "gang members, drug dealers, crackheads and criminals", right? And it's not like those word are code words for "black" or "Hispanic" men, right?
Hey Chris - you got it all wrong, darlin'. As NYC Mayor, Giuliani wanted to ban pitbulls. Or was it that he wanted to ban the people who owned the pitbulls...... get it???
Here's the 411, Chris. As a black man, you just engaged in the kind of discrimination and negative stereotypes and marginalization that you fight against as a black man.
Not only did you insult the thousands of innocent dogs already fighting to say alive - you insulted the thousands of people who own innocent pitbulls who are discriminated against, stereotyped, and even have their civil rights marginalized and violated because they own pitbulls.
Chris, baby - I'm still a fan. But Giuliani ain't no pitbull - in his eyes you are the pitbull. And - don't look at me funny - 'cause they won't hesitate to shoot you either.
