Author’s note: Alas, my laptop is malfunctioning again, so I’m going to have to change up my blogging for the next several days until I get things in order. (Unfortunately, that may require the purchase of a new computer.) Here’s a short post based on some tweets I sent recently. MEM
True, and kind of sad, story from Wednesday night about Chris Rock.
It was trivia night at a downtown Durham, N.C., restaurant/bar. The crowd was largely Caucasian (as I am) and Asian.
One trivia question was basically, “Which comedian posted pictures of himself being repeatedly pulled over by the police?”
Several minutes later, the M.C. gave the answers to that round of questions, including the above-mentioned one about Chris Rock.
The M.C. mentioned that some people incorrectly answered the question with “Will Ferrell” — who, of course, is white.
I laughed heartily at the thought of Will Ferrell being pulled over repeatedly. It just seemed totally ludicrous.
