Two Big Reasons Why White Liberals WON'T Come to Chris Rock's Defence

Many non-Jews are socialist and liberal. Many Jews are conservative and capitalist.

Even as a leftist, I have no problem having a rational conversation that criticises liberals as an entity, but the moment you bring in racist/anti-Semitic and other ethno-nationalist bullshit, you've lost ALL credibility and respect.

Many of the white libs Chris Rock was referring to are no doubt white gentiles (I could give you a list if you like, but for example, there's Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Rian Johnson, Kathleen Kennedy, Jane Fonda, Ben Affleck, to name but a few). The moment you start bringing ethnicity into this, you make it so much harder to castigate these people.

Maybe I'm more liberal than *you* seeing that I have *some* sympathy for Will Smith, and I certainly don't think he should have been strongarmed to the sidewalk, nor am I willing to call his wife 'ugly'.

Look, I despise the GOP with a passion, but I'm not going to give white libs a pass for their hypocrisy just cos I despise the GOP *more*. It would be akin to saying "Yeah, Stalin was an okay dude, cos he helped us defeat Hitler." No, the enemy of one's enemy, can still be one's enemy, so to speak.

Maybe I'm being unfair in saying 'white liberals' seeing as I am one. Maybe I should say 'white liberal elites' or the 'white liberal establishment' (i.e. rich and powerful people in the media and entertainment sectors - and just to be clear, in case any anti-Semites get the wrong idea, I don't mean 'Jews' when I speak of 'elites'; some of them may be Jewish, but they are not defined by Judaism, and a large number, likely the majority, are white gentiles).

But the truth is, with his jokes at Jada's expense, and his questioning of Harry & Meghan's narrative, as well as his history of making jokes at well-to-do white liberals' expense, Chris Rock has probably not endeared himself to certain groups of people (although I suspect a lot of working and middle-class left-of-centre, but non-militant, Black and white men *do* sympathise with where he's coming from).

Hah, not anymore anyway! ;-)
He could have used a helmet and some brass knuckles or a piece at the time.

Many Black people, besides Chris Rock, have complained about mistreatment within Hollywood. All industries tend to have issues with racism, although, I won't deny that post-BLM, things have started to change (bear in mind that Rock made his charges about Hollywood 'sorority racism' a few years before the killing of George Floyd/BLM really took off).

And I certainly didn't say that liberals were *worse* than more egregious right-wing racists, but they can be more hypocritical about it, and since many sectors are now controlled by seemingly reasonable, professional, polite people who *say* the right thing, it's quite clear to me that it's not *just* some right-wing yokel operating a three-man garage in Alabama who is holding back Black people. It's the heads of media companies, film production companies, colleges, big technology companies, pharmaceutical companies, law firms, and so on (i.e. people who often identify as 'Democrats', or at least say the 'correct' things in public). If it were *just* MAGA-cap wearing, Confederate-flag waving nobodies who were the racists, you might still see acts of physical violence against Black people, but you wouldn't see Black people *still* being held back systemically when it comes to jobs, careers, academia, and the law.

Which libs and blacks are being killed by the right?
