Chris Rock Slams Woke 1 Advocates for Forgiveness While Likening Era to Salem Witch Trials
Rock says wokeness has become unforgiving and should not be institutionalized, while comparing the culture to the Salem witch trials.
- Comedian and filmmaker Chris Rock appeared on Saturday's edition of the New York Times podcast 'The Interview,' hosted by David Marchese, to discuss his new film 'Misty Green' and his views on forgiveness.
- Characterizing the movement as 'institutionalized,' Rock argued that 'quote, unquote, wokeness' creates a world lacking forgiveness, describing the current cultural era as the 'Old Testament.'
- Offering an irreverent analogy, Rock compared 'wokeness' to the Salem Witch Hunts, suggesting institutions eventually require lies to justify their 'overhead' and 'witch hunters' pensions.'
- Defending personal loyalty, Rock described maintaining a friendship with a 'nameless' and 'canceled' individual, recalling his assertion: 'If you're only friends with your friends when they're good, they're not your friends.'
- Acknowledging the positive impact of the 'Woke 1.0' era following George Floyd's 2020 murder, Rock noted it amplified marginalized voices, emphasizing that advocating for the marginalized remains necessary.
