Actor and stand up comedian Chris Rock, who recently got a new limelight after his infamous incident with Will Smith at Oscars 2022, is once again back to stand up comedy routine with his Netflix stand-up special, ‘Selective Outrage’. During the special, which aired live Saturday night, Chris Rock took a dig at Meghan Markle over her ‘racism claims’ against the royal family. Especially Meghan’s allegations about Royal Family’s comments about her son’s skin tone.
In his stand-up set, he addressed Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey that occurred in April 2021. In the interview, Markle and Prince Harry said that, while at Buckingham Palace, there were “concerns” raised about “how dark” their baby’s skin might be before Archie was born.
Chris questioned Meghan’s belief that she faced racism and brushed off her experience aside as simple dealing with “in-law s***”. “Oh, they’re so racist, they’re so racist. Some of that sh*t she went through was not racism. It was just some in-law sh*t.”, said Chris Rock.
He mocked her claims to Winfrey, saying “That’s not racist,’ cause’ even Black people want to know how brown the baby gon’ be. Sh*t. We check behind their ears.”
The comedian also roasted The Royal Family and described them as “The Sugarhill Gang Of Racism”. He added, “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”.
