CHRIS ROCK'S MOM CLAIMS RACIAL DISCRIMINATION

Filed in archive CELEBRITIES & GOSSIP by jim on October 22, 2006

Source:www.news.sawf.org

Rose Rock, the mother of one of my favorite comedians, Chris Rock, claims she was the victim of racial discrimination.

The incident occurred at a South Carolina cracker links

Barrel restaurant.

Ms. Rock said that she and her daughter were the only Blacks in the establishment and endured a wait in excess of 30 minutes after being seated before a waitress appeared.

Cracker Barrel, as a chain, has had problems along these lines in the past involving Blacks, and other minorities, as well as gays.

The Reverend Al Sharpton has lent his support to Ms. Rock and it appears that a lawsuitwill be filed.

It's hard to accept that this form of despicable behavior still exists in America. However, if the recent racially motivated, public remarks made by Senator George Allen of Virginia are an example of what our "role models" are capable of, how can we expect "ordinary" citizens to act with proper demeanor?

Add your response to CHRIS ROCK'S MOM CLAIMS RACIAL DISCRIMINATION: Response from: Don Jones (10/22/06 7:17am) Any road warrier will tell you waiting twenty min or even thirty (twenty feels like 30) is not too uncommon. Is it about time for Mrs. Rock's book to be given a closing act such as this. I believe it is "From There To Here. Cracker Barell has been a hot target I am certain for Mr. Sharpton, the bottom feeder. Who need's him? Rose and her son could file their own lawsuit but maybe she would not get on the authors ideal show Larry King. Great place to launch a book. Response from: Jan (10/24/06 9:35am) I am a 56 year old overweight white lady. I am constantly being discriminated against by sales clerks, bartenders, wait people, etc. who favor young, slim white/black/asians customers. Who should I start suing first?
