“I cannot believe something that fucking stupid came out of someone’s mouth. Even for a white man, you are fucking stupid. Why in the fuck’s sake would you ever say something like that?”

"The hell they do. I don’t know it. But I do know I’ve never seen or heard of someone taking a bull whip to a fetus, or make a fetus pick cotton, or beat a fetus for eating or attempting to run away. I don’t think anyone has ever branded a fetus with a branding iron, or ripped a fetus away from its country of origin and sold it to the highest bidder in another country. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a fetus being pummeled for trying to learn how to read and write, or starved for weeks to discourage their attempts to escape from captivity.”

“What do any of those things have to do with slavery? Or abortion.”

Chris Rock

“See that’s what I mean. Despite what Jon Stewart says, you are one dumb ass motherfucker. Those are things that have absolutely nothing to do with abortions. Those are some of the things that happened to slaves, you stupid cracker. Don’t act surprised, either. You’re from fucking Arkansas, so we know your great grandfather probably owned a fleet of slaves. There is no comparison between abortion and slavery, no how and no way, so stop saying it. You are only making yourself appear more stupid and ignorant than we already know you to be. That’s what this world needs: one more fucking white man saying some ignorant shit about something of which they know not one motherfucking thing. If you want to manage a crusade against motherfucking abortions, leave slavery the fuck out of it, Huckaboo.”
