In his most recent Netflix special, Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, comedian Chris Rock made fun of the royal family and Meghan Markle’s allegations of racism. The comedian mocked the royal family, referring to them as the “OGs of racism,” and criticised Meghan Markle for “being all dumb” during her appearance on Oprah’s chat programme.
Chris roasted the royal family along with Meghan Markle and said: “Sometimes it’s just some in-law s—, because she’s complaining, I’m like, ‘What the f— is she talking about? ‘They’re so racist, they wanted to know how brown the baby was going to be…’ I’m like, ‘That’s not racist,’ cause’ even Black people want to know how brown the baby gon’ be. S—. We check behind their ears… Black girl trying to be accepted by her white in-laws. Oh, it’s hard. It’s so hard, it’s very hard — but it ain’t as hard as a white girl trying to be accepted by her Black in-laws. Now, that s*** is really hard. If you are Black, and you wanna be accepted by your white in-laws, then you need to marry a Kardashian because they accept everybody. Kris Jenner is like the Statue of Liberty.”
Chris Rock was alluding to the allegations made by Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry two years back
Chris Rock was alluding to the allegations made by Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry two years prior when they went on Oprah Winfrey’s chat show and publicly accused the royal family. The pair also made some stunning statements on the show, like that the royal family allegedly wanted to know “how dark” their child would be or their differing views on how to live. Prior to getting married into the royal family, Meghan said she knew nothing about them.
Chris Rock labelled the family as racist in his new special and said that Meghan was “acting all dumb like she didn’t know nothing. Going on Oprah, ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea how racist they were.’ It’s the royal family! You didn’t Google those motherf—–s? What the f— is she talking about, she didn’t know. The f—? It’s the royal family, they’re the original racists. They invented colonialism. They’re the OGs of racism. They’re the Sugarhill Gang of racism. Like, ‘a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie to the hip hip hop-a don’t stop — the racism.'”
Archie and Lilibet are the children of Prince Harry and Meghan, who were married on May 19, 2018.
