Six black lawmakers Wednesday called

Florida official ripped for airing Rock video

February 24, 2005
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Six black lawmakers Wednesday called for the removal of the head of the state's juvenile justice department for showing a Chris Rock video at a meeting with NAACP leaders.

One lawmaker called the 4-minute skit -- How To Not Get Your A-- Kicked By The Police -- ''absolutely racist.'' An NAACP member at the viewing last July said no one complained.

The comic's skit was shown in the office of Juvenile Justice Secretary Anthony Schembri -- the former head of New York City's jails who was the model for the 1991-1995 TV show ''The Commish.''

Rock's tips for young blacks include driving with a white friend, and turning down loud rap music when pulled over. The video also shows actors dressed as police pretending to beat up blacks. AP

Talking

Don't know if y'all saw the bit - it's a real hoot!

I always did think it silly when a group screams 'Racial Prejudice' on one of their own . . .

Actually, it makes some good points - one of which was to "use common sense!"

Yeah they scream & yell about your own people putting you down and being bad role models...most black comedians have a majority black audience - it's supposed to be sarcastic/silly. If you don't like it, don't listen to it.
