Denzel Washington; “I’m not a movie buff…I would’ve been out in the street looking to rob you”

Reminds me of that interlude in Aggravated Robbery by Project Pat.

Pat: “A baby where you headed to ?”
Girl: “Just leaving the club, What’s the business ? ”
Pat: “ Let me get your number”
Girl: “ ok”
Pat: “ AND THEM RINGS AND THAT PURSE, RUN THAT SHIT BITCH!!! “

Who gives a shit what the inferior faggotry mutant race that the world hates feel about the superior species black man
Unfortunately, millions of Black people have been harassed, stalked, and killed over what that mutant race feels about Blacks. Mutant in NYC just got acquitted for killing a superior Black man because he felt a 140 lb Black man was too dangerous, and a jury agreed.

So obviously we not the problem… yet you care to be accepted by individuals who never will

I'm not saying anything about being accepted, I'm just pointing out that Washington saying he was a thug before becoming an actor reinforces stereotypes.

Name an ethnic group or country of people that don’t have some individuals that rob ? If he was white or Asian would you say he reinforces stereotypes or would you say that just happens to be a man that was in to criminal acts

I think if Ken Jeong joked about getting into a lot of car accidents or Rosanne Barr joked about being the worst Karen in her neighborhood, they'd be reinforcing stereotypes. Remember how Ben Carson wanted to convince white folks that he was violent like all Black people until he found Jesus?

I wouldn't necessarily say a thug but someone who did what he had to do to eat. A snatch and grab and run isn't armed robbery.

Who knows if Denzel is being real or if he is just messing with the guy. Denzel's past is a mystery, something he holds on to intentionally. You don't know what's true or what's really real

All Washington did was reinforce what many whites already believed, no matter how intelligent, cultured, or refined a Black person may appear to be, they all started as wanna-be criminals, it's in their blood.
"Respectability Politics" is what you're really advocating for here.

So, because White people feel Blacks are violent, we MUST suppress their fears by being passive and non threatening.
- Be a "good negro" and not a "bad nigga".
- Always make White folk "comfortable" in Black spaces.
- Black women can't be pissed off or objectionable for fear of being labeled an angry Black woman by Whites.
- Be Urkel. Not Michael Evans.
- Be Larry Elder not Roland Martin.
Meanwhile, they all enjoy the luxury of being seen as individuals through the sociopolitical lens as good REGARDLESS of their history of atrocities.
It's also interesting that at no time did you CHALLENGE THEM to change their way of thinking about us. But Denzel's statement is the problem?

Nah, my man...
That's an issue YOU can wrestle with.

...implying, to me, that Chris Rock was a demon or, at least, making that association.

Nah, I take that to mean that "the devil" was testing Will, by putting him in an uncomfortable situation......

I would say the test would be regardless if Chris was the one telling the jokes or not because behind the scenes there was already so much drama, tension and what not. They could've been out together somewhere and if the right person said/did the wrong thing, Will may have reacted similarly "in the name of saving (face or their marriage.)"

Not necessarily that Chris was sent/ used by the Devil...... the devil is in the details and the details of all the behind the scenes shit is what lead to the slap....

Will has been the butt of the jokes before and seemed to be able to let em roll with no issues..... but in that moment Jada gave the signal that it wasn't OK so Will reacted and then she threw him under the bus once the heat got hot.

Every time I try to purchase "MENACE TO SOCIETY" during those CRITERION "50% OFF" or "Flash Sales", it always sells out.
I have tons of CRITERION discs.

Hell.
I still have CRITERION LaserDiscs that I absolutely refuse to part with.

But since I subscribe to their Streaming Channel now,
My Physical Media collection has lessened a bit.
