Chris Rock, explicando como o racismo afeta nossas vidas até hoje:
I live in Alpine, New Jersey, in a $3 million home. There are 4 other black people that live in my neighborhood. So it's me, a fairly successful comedian, then Mary J. Blige, one of the greatest R&B singers of all time, Jay-Z, one of the greatest rap artists, and Denzel Washington, one of the great actors today, right? Everyone else is white.
You know what my neighbor does?
He's a dentist!
He's not a superstar dentist. He's not the best dentist in the world. He's not going to the dental hall of fame. He's just a dentist!
You know what it would take for a black dentist to live in that neighborhood? If a black dentist wanted to live in that neighborhood, he would have had to invent teeth!
