Chris Rock: My Kids Are Not Allowed To Listen To Beyonce...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.celebrity-babies.com/2007...rock_does.html

"At home, [we play] a lot of Disney stuff -- Raven, High School Musical soundtrack. My kids love Beyonce, but there are a few songs I can't let them listen to -- they're so materialistic! They're all about chinchilla coats and BBS Slims [cell phone]. I'd rather have them listening to a protest song!"

BB123,

If that's what Rock actually said, I might have to applaud his parenting.

I wouldn't applaud his parenting or anything else about Rock quite yet. But it is interesting to hear him say this (allegedly), I applaud that.

He's delusional if he thinks he can control what his children are exposed to (unless he controls their movements 24/7 or keeps them locked down). I heard a "song" on the radio the other day - the Hoochie Momma song - they were singing about masturbating and ejaculating. On the RADIO. During the day. I wouldn't want a grown person to listen to that stuff. How the heck do you keep your children isolated from the radio???

By him being so rich, he can afford to keep his kids occupied with other things.

Well, I hope Chris also makes sure his daughters never see any of his obscene stand-up comedy specials. He also might want to keep them away from his last movie which encouraged adultery and - tanked at the box office.

I agree with a prior point you made, Abm. Learning how to comprehend first might be more important. :-)

While it may be "delusional," it is still laudable that he acknowledges that he needs to protect his children from the bs, as well as find better alternatives.

BB123 & Tonya,

If you're not reading, learning and growing for and within yourself, then you might fool yourselves into thinking what Beyonce's doing or wearing really matters.

abm: right. nurturing intelligent, independent thought can empower children or young adults with the necessary weapons to combat materialism, unprotected sex, etc....of course, no one is perfect, and children, as are adult, are likely to slip...but i tend to think those with that voice in their heads telling them "dummy, I told you not to do that," are the same ones likely not to misstep again.

Abm,

Two separate questions:

1) "If that's what Rock actually said, I might have to applaud his parenting."

If he said it, why would it matter, and how would it make him a good parent?

2) Isn’t the self-esteem of young Black girls and boys a HUGE part of your reasons for choosing Obama...

Thats actually quite interesting seeing as how Chris Rock is in the same business as Beyonce and some of his material is not only harmful to Black children but to Black ppl as a whole.

How dare he tries to "down" Beyonce! Shes doing the same thing he is. And that is acting like a "Coonish" Negro just to entertain White ppl and make money.

If he was truly concerned about his daughters he would "check" some of his own material.

Tonya,

Tonya: "If he said it, why would it matter, and how would it make him a good parent?"

It's suggests he's involved in monitoring what his children are exposed to. And that's a sign of good parenting. I don't know if that's what Rock actually does. Now do I know what else he does as a parent. But if he is watching and checking what his young daugthers see (and possibly internalize), I give him props.


Tonya: "Isn’t the self-esteem of young Black girls and boys a HUGE part of your reasons for choosing Obama..."

I'm not sure I follow your question here. But I believe Rock's children are only 4 and 2. I can understand why he wouldn't want his TODDLER children being exposed to how bootilicious Beyonce can (mostly pretend) to be. When they're older, maybe Beyonce will be age-appropriate for them.


Okay. I'm sure I can often appear sexist. But, for the most part, I'm good natured about it. :-)

How dare he tries to "down" Beyonce!

(Hey! She SUCKS! All that fakeass horsehair she's always wearing--

And how about how you are always yelling about "black" names. What the hell does "Beyonce" mean, anyway? Nothing. Just a bunch of good sounds some coons put together.

Part of the problem with black people. They have nonsense names.

If I wanted a white woman I'd get a REAL one--

You're just hatin' cause you wish I'd allow a part of me to 'grow' within you.


Tonya: "You should thank me, bro."

Just like a chick to solicit unearned thanks/credit.


Tonya: "You're still a HORRIBLE bullshitter..."

Takes being it to know it.

That's what I'm gon' keeping on hopin' for you, Tay Tay
