How did Chris Rock do last night?

[Mosiah]

There were times when I just didn't get it.

I didn't have a problem with him making the mostly white Hollywood feel uncomfortable, but having white people laugh at lynching jokes...haven't they laughed enough about such things? Felt weird. Can't picture anyone laughing at Auschwitz jokes without getting a major lashing from Jewish organizations.

As for the Stacy Dash joke...is it funny having Stacy Dash mock black people? I get the irony but, just didn't really find it that funny.

Overall, I liked his frankness and his perspective.

I'm happy he threw in the words, "black lives matter", towards the end as clearly Hollywood doesn't believe black movies and acting performances matter. And the show wrapped up with Public Enemy's Fight the Power.

Nice!

I didn't watch the entire show, just when he came out. Personally, I had no problem with what he said. He had a valid point, black folks back then didn't have time to worry about the Oscars ... he is a comedian so of course he is going to push the envelope. I found it funny. There were times it was clear he made some in the audience uncomfortable.

[Assasin]

from all reports 10/10 and he was been himself.

I have to see it

[Islandman]

The Stacy Dash thing fell flat. She is really an idiot.

I'd suggest we have real problems to protest these days as well. Law enforcement killing unarmed black men on a weekly basis, it seems, is not something to be taken lightly one bit. And that's just one thing.

but didn't he make that point as well? I am almost certain he did.

[Mosiah]

Perhaps. And I would agree that those days were worse than today but still, they are all bad.

Like Lazie, I had no problems with his shtick. He was funny and he had many squirming in the audience. I think this whole issue will see more diversity in Hollywood in the near future. The flop Gods of Egypt, with its all-white cast will see to that.
