Chris Rock Stopped Performing for Students Because Everything Offends Them

There's plenty to dissect in Frank Rich's comprehensive interview with Chris Rock. The comedian covers everything from Bill Cosby (he hopes the allegations are false) to the federal bailout of the auto industry (he was against it).

I found Rock's remarks about why he no longer performs at college campuses most illuminating:


What do you make of the attempt to bar Bill Maher from speaking at Berkeley for his riff on Muslims?

Well, I love Bill, but I stopped playing colleges, and the reason is because they?re way too conservative.

In their political views?

Not in their political views ? not like they?re voting Republican ? but in their social views and their willingness not to offend anybody. Kids raised on a culture of ?We?re not going to keep score in the game because we don?t want anybody to lose.? Or just ignoring race to a fault. You can?t say ?the black kid over there.? No, it?s ?the guy with the red shoes.? You can?t even be offensive on your way to being inoffensive.

When did you start to notice this?

About eight years ago. Probably a couple of tours ago. It was just like, This is not as much fun as it used to be. I remember talking to George Carlin before he died and him saying the exact same thing.

Provocative comedians avoiding the college scene? The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education's Susan Kruth explains why this is a lamentable development:


Just as college campuses are meant to be ?marketplaces of ideas? generally, they should be places where comedians and other performers are especially able to play with new acts. It?s disappointing to see that this is not so, and that the atmosphere for freedom of speech and comedy in particular on campuses has gotten bad enough that noted comedians are avoiding student audiences altogether. That is a real loss for them?after all, everybody could use a laugh.

Anyone who thinks that there are no consequences for trigger warnings, speech codes, free speech zones, crackdowns on taco night, or general feelings-protection at the modern American university should consider Rock's comments. University administrators are teaching students that it is proper for them to crave insulation from contrarianism and controversy. The result is a kind of de facto censorship, where someone like Rock?a worthwhile speaker, whether one agrees with him or not?has little incentive to share his perspective.

What better way is there to drain universities of their intellectual potency than to dissuade all interesting people from setting foot on a college campus?

What is the opposite of diversity? University.

Universities are becoming cesspools of group-think and uniformity of thought - all of it toward the left-wing/progressive end of the spectrum. They are churning out wave after wave of "progressive" drones who are incapable if independent critical thought.

Black comedians are the new intellectuals.

They get much respect for their remarks on education because they dropped out of high school and blamed it on white bullies.

Harvard better listen up, Chris Rock is talking.

:uhoh

traditionally the left has always held the press and the universities... the left did in fact cause WWII

That's a massive crock of shit you just shat.

You obviously never hear of the Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Mormon ... Universities.

You think that's "the left"?

The right is actively running to the left because "the right" has been taken over by disturbed idiots.
There is no "right" anymore; just looney tunes who took over the banner.

So you might wrongfully think some of those institutions are "to the left".

I just found this image on the internet and found it very distasteful. I figured that it needs to be pointed out.

Disgusting. *SMH*

This is really what people think about serious issues like this in this day and age? :disgust

I don't entirely get the picture. Obviously it's a Photoshop. Wasn't he older than 3rd grade? Seems a little stupid to me. Or was he a 3rd grade kid? :helpme

because gfy members are university students?

nobody has issue with comments or jokes, your constant race bating threads, in disguise as balancing other morons around here, is though.

I was considering making a post about how right wing talking heads have turned "college" into a dirty left-wing word, but then I just kept reading and didn't have to.

Now you see how much did the PC brainwashing machine did it recent years? That even comedians started noticing like that.
Fucking disgrace and thumbs up to Mr. Rock.

hah, i be pissed about having maher as my commencement speaker at all, regardless of his muslim jokes.

Chris Rock is getting older is what the problem is. His audience has changed, while he hasn't. I am not saying he isn't funny any more - he sure is - but society has changed a bit in the past ten - twenty years.

So Chris Rock got his GED because of white boys bulling? :1orglaugh
Write that one down black america

seinfeld reruns are still funny.

its so bizarre to watch as an outsider how people get offended and use the watermelon crap...there is absolutely nothing wrong with watermelon or chicken...its like saying "you like lemons haha" and the other person gets pissed off...so strange...I would wear that watermelon suit and hat and not give it a second thought...

SAME HERE BRO!!!! :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup :1orglaugh:1orglaugh :winkwink:

what the fucking god damn fuck.

Racists suck :2 cents:

I wonder if Asians or Indians get this seriously butthurt when someone mentions rice or curry around them?

Don't worry about Asians or Indians; just worry about why you are so butthurt over Brassmonkey.

:1orglaugh

:2 cents::2 cents:

Now, I know you could've come up with sumffins better than this. Why would I remotely care about sigwhoring boy living in a fantasy land? I think you the one gets butthurt when someone points out that you two are like siamese twins sharing iq of 120.

Wait is this the same kind of offended as old white people whom bitch about "dim dirty hispanics who don't speak English" in their beloved country?

Despite the fact this country has no "official language": and that nearly half of it was colonized by Spanish speaking people? Not to mention parts even spoke French..

Any US "citizen" should have a working understanding of English. English classes should be free and enrollment encouraged. :2 cents:


.

Actually German was #2 language in 1700. There was even some fuzz to have government documents in English and German back than

Shit, that would easily exclude 3/4 of ghettos and some parts of Louisiana and Alabama from maintaining US citizenship

i'm still lolzing over "gfy fucktards and crybabies".

gold.

OP is a fucktard crying like a baby

:1orglaugh

English is not the offical language of the U.S. it's spoken by the majority of the people here but it's not the offical language because we have none. FL the state you live in, was colonized by Spain (ie Spanish speakers). The only reason English is the main language spoken in the US, is because the original 13 colonies spoke English and as such the govt delt in English.

However once we started expanding past those 13 colonies, we started accepting states in which English was not always the primary language. Due to this there is no "offical" language and it's also reason why Spanish isnt completely legitiment as English in this country. Much the same as French in states like LA.

Interesting. I didn't know that about Germans but I guess makes sense.

Bla, bla, .... This is the US, we speak English and so should our population. Those that don't automatically become second tier citizens.



.

So you are one of those old white people whom gets offended.. Here perhaps you should read a bit...

Do You Speak American . Sea to Shining Sea . American Varieties . Spanglish . USA | PBS


A little tidbit for you.. I hate to break it to you but it wasn't English speaking people whom discovered America...

Also you know that place about 40 miles north of you?


Umm yea... Spanish..

No, I'm an "old white person" who is practical ...

Try to get a good job or education without being able to speak English.

I know you'll spend 20 minutes looking for exceptions but be practical. If you don't speak English you might as well hang out in front of Home Depot to get a job.

think him and bm are the same guy

Only 2 topics for me are off limits when it comes to fucking around, that's rape, and child abuse (either physical or sexual), anything else is fair game mostly, depending on my 'audience'. There's a difference with taking the piss out of a person directly eg

"haha your dad died of cancer I hope it hurt" and "lol child abuse cracks me up"

which are obviously very shitty things to say and aren't amusing in the slightest, and eg the old derek & clive sketch which included the cancer song (and yes I know the back story on that) which is here and starts at around 2:40 (WARNING - if cancer is close to home for you and there is NO situation in which you can laugh at the subject matter, do not watch/listen). I'm not saying cancer is funny, I'm saying their routine about it is (to me anyway, though I get not everyone shares the same humour) - make sense?



I think most things are about intent/context, especially comedy, and it's too easy to decide to get offended over everything you can. Kinda like how a close friend can say almost anything, and if you know their intent isn't nasty, they get away with saying things that would have you breaking jaws if a stranger said the same. If you see/listen to a comedian, you need to realise it's like he is talking to a room full of his best friends

I have heard several rape and child abuse jokes.... however that is very different than promoting rape and child abuse.... once here at gfy guys were talking were talking about how clever the comedy movie made about the killing felids was.... I don't think that's funny at all

things have changed and not in a good way :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

It depends where you are. In many places in the US knowing both Spanish & English is often a requirement to move into management. It depends on the local population.

You are just an old white guy whom thinks MERICA is getting taken over by the Hispanics all the while they have been here longer than the whites and Spanish has been spoken here longer as well. Right along side of English, since we started adding more states than the original 13 colonies.

Fuck you, again you're twisting the discussion to fit your flippant comments. And knowing English AND Spanish to advance into management just makes my point.

Did you know the Federal Government, EEOC allows only one employment discrimination factor? Guess what it is? Yea, speaking English. If you don't speak English you can and almost always will be turned down for a job.

So yes, everyone in the US should learn how to speak English. Why you would argue this fact is stupid.

Yes the good ole days... It was so much more tolerant of people's differences and needs..

Unfortunately the reason the laws become so restrictive is because assholes ruin things for everyone. You know like assholes in right wing govt making laws to allow discrimination of people, which in turn empowers hateful people like this pizza shop owner whom thinks it's ok to discriminate against people in the name of their religion..

So when you wonder why we have these laws and restrictions or why colleges over react.. Look no further than what is going on in IL right now with their new "Religious Freedom Law".. The haters make their own problems and as a result they have to be smacked down and then things are once again made more restrictive because some asshole thinks it's ok to discriminate and yet another layer of bureaucracy has to be added to make sure they can't.

It wouldn't be like this if not for assholes whom discriminate. :2 cents:

It still doesn't change the fact that English is not the official language of the US because we have none and that Spanish has been spoken in the country far longer than English..

Who cares .........

It's the language you need to function in our society.

Obviously you care, because you got all outraged when I mentioned the Spanish was spoken here long before English..
