Agreed honey! Thank you so much for writing. I was on a binge readig tons of articles about the Chris Rock special and yours is delivered with so much grace and honesty that it brought tears to my eyes. I now feel more comfortable in my own perception of the whole Chris Rock vs The Smiths issue, as I have long felt like Chris Rock is pretty white supremacist in his leanings whether he's aware of it or not, and the Smiths are more pro-black. I hope Chris Rock is able to heal some day and not be so resentful towards his own community. It's very sad to witness.
