Chris Rock on the Tea Party and Racism

Posted By on Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 2:30 PM

The entirety of Scott Raab's interview with Chris Rock in this month's Esquire is worth reading, but this particular quote was worth a specific mention:

You got kids? Kids always act up the most before they go to sleep. And when I see the Tea Party and all this stuff, it actually feels like racism’s almost over. Because this is the last — this is the act up before the sleep. They’re going crazy. They’re insane. You want to get rid of them — and the next thing you know, they’re fucking knocked out. And that’s what’s going on in the country right now.
