As long as you're white
And a man.
And lived in US
And cishet
And able bodied
And secretly homosexual
And resemble a wasp
When you are white the sky is the limit. When you are not the limits the sky. -Chris Rock
Chris Rock must have been high as a kite when he said that then.
That or I'm having a stroke while reading it.
This is from his bigger and blacker stand up from early 2000 after saying this line. He also said that there is a one legged white bus boy who would not switch places with me and I’m rich because the bus boy would say nah man I’m gonna ride this white thing out and see where it takes me.
Cool, but the quote is still giving me a stroke.
The limit is the sky?
