Chris Rock Talks Moose Hunting and White Ladies
4:11 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · US Presidential Race 2008 · Comments Off
23 Sep 2008The following video is definitly very funny. I laughed at all of it. At the same time, I was just a bit uncomfortable with the assertion that Hillary Clinton didn’t lose the election because of sexism. Which is odd, because on the whole, although I do feel that Clinton was subjected to sexism and sexism was 100% a part of the coverage of her bid, I also, for the most part, don’t feel like she *lost* because of sexism.
I think the thing that makes me uncomfortable is a man dismissing sexism. It’s offensive–men don’t get to tell women that something did or didn’t happen because of sexism, just like white folks don’t get to tell people of color that something did or didn’t happen because of racism.
But in the end, Rock’s point is really well made: why does slaughter of animals get a black man prison time and a white woman the Vice Presidential nod?
How is whiteness invested in ‘protecting’ animals even as it uses the destruction of animals to define itself?

What would you expect comedian Chris Rock’s mom to be like? Funny? Straight talking? Keeping it real? You’d be right on all three counts based on Mama Rose Rock’s book just released by Harper Collins. Mama Rock’s Rules : Ten Lessons for Raising a Houseful of Successful Children, written by Rose Rock with Valerie Graham is a comprehensive parenting book. Besides raising a successful son, Mama Rock brings the experience that raising 10 children in addition to caring for 17 foster children gives you.
The result is a practical, easy to read book, that gives hands on advice that parents can begin to implement right now.
The advice given is stuff that we’ve all heard before, but that deserve repeating, for example the importance of family meals and following through with consequences when rules are broken. Also included are more controversial positions on parenting.
