Last month Chris Rock created a stir after he posted a meme of Betty White pursuant to mass shootings in El Paso, TX and Drayton, OH:
Chris Rock has come under fire for posting a picture of Golden Girl actress Betty White as part of word-play joke about the skin color of last weekend’s mass shooters.
The comedian, 54, received mixed feedback from fans and the internet after the Instagram post was shared to his 3.4 million followers on Wednesday.
The meme he shared featured the words: ‘The first thing people say when a mass shooting is announced.’
It then had a picture of White, 97, and played on the pronunciation of her name, ‘Bet-he White.’
The mass killings were orchestrated by white men. There may have been some truth to Rock’s joke. However, the joke was ill-timed given that many people lost loved ones during these events. That said, it was Shock Exchange and not Piketty that predicted (1) the economy would falter despite trillions in stimulus and (2) mass shootings and domestic terrorism would soon follow. Rock’s joke also correctly explains why the fake news has promoted Piketty incessantly and ignore Baker, Shock Exchange and inner-city kids from Brooklyn.
