Chris Rock Has It Wrong

Submitted by Al, Sep 17, 2008 13:13

Rock's comment is dumb. Not many people would change places with anyone else either. Even a 60-year-old woman with cancer would probably not swap with a teenager in perfect health. Swapping means abandoning all your friends, family, work, character, etc. Also, most of us believe that we each have a fate and it is our obligation to do the best with the fate we've been given. People like Lebron are hopefully the need breed of black role models. He made a comment one time that racism doesn't affect his generation as much anymore. It's true. Grievance over racism only holds blacks back.
