Chris Rock Mocks Meghan Markle's Skin Color Accusation in Netflix Special
BORNEOTRIBUCOM - Chris Rock roasted Meghan Markle's skin color accusation in his Netflix stand-up comedy special, where he joked: "Didn't she hit the light-skinned lottery?"
Rock is the latest comedian in a growing list of U.S. comedians to mock Prince Harry and Meghan, and his Baltimore show was broadcast live on the streaming platform on March 4.
Netflix has a multi-year deal with the couple and was the home of their docu-series Harry & Meghan, which aired in December 2022.
Chris Rock Roasts Meghan Markle's Skin Color Accusation in Netflix Stand-Up Comedy Special
South Park, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Saturday Night Live have also mocked Harry and Meghan.
During Chris Rock LIVE: Selective Outrage, the comedian remarked: "Everyone is trying to be a victim. Who is this girl Meghan Markle? She seemed like a nice lady, just complaining.
"I was like, didn't she hit the light-skinned lottery? Hit the f***ing light-skinned lottery and still going off complaining. Acting all dumb like she didn't know anything. Going on Oprah like 'I didn't know, I had no idea how racist they were.'

"It's the royal family, you didn't Google these mother f******. What the f*** is she talking about she didn't know. It's the royal family. They're the original racists. They invented colonialism. They're the OGs of racism. They're the Sugar Hill Gang of racism."
"That's like marrying into the Budweiser family and saying, 'they drink a lot'," he added.
Prince Harry denies Meghan Markle's accusation of racism over concerns about baby's skin color
Meghan's remarks in March 2021 were widely perceived as an accusation of racism, but Prince Harry later stated that "neither of us believe" it was racism.
During her conversation with Oprah, Meghan shared: "So we have in tandem the conversation of 'he won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title' and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born."
Oprah sought clarification as to whether that meant "too brown" and whether "that would be a problem," to which Meghan replied: "If that's the assumption you're making, I think that feels like a pretty safe one."
Prince Harry denies Meghan's remarks as accusation of racism, calls it unconscious bias
Speaking to 60 Minutes, Prince Harry stated: "The way the British press reacted to that was fairly typical. There was like a hunt for the royal racist. Neither of us believe that that comment or that experience or that opinion was based in racism. Unconscious bias, yes. But I think that if you speak to the majority—maybe not all—but the majority of mixed race couples around the world, the white side of the family would wonder, whether talking openly about it or amongst themselves, what the kids are going to look like."
Rock said, "Sometimes it's just some in-law s--- because she's complaining. I'm like, 'What the f--- is she talking about?' 'Oprah, 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 gonna be. S---. We check behind them ears."
"I know her dilemma," he added. "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--t is really hard."
Rock's reference to "victims" came hours after Prince Harry told a Q&A to promote his book Spare that he has never asked for sympathy.
"Well, I certainly don't see myself as a victim," he said. "But no, I do not and I have never looked for sympathy in this," he added.
Similarities between Meghan and Harry's victim narrative and South Park parody
The victim narrative being perpetuated has similarities to the South Park episode that also poked fun at Prince Harry and Meghan, featuring a parody version of Harry's book titled "Waaagh."
The episode also included a brand management expert who referred to Meghan as a "sorority girl, actress, influencer, victim."
In the days following Harry's publicity push for the book, he was ridiculed on multiple comedy shows.
During The Tonight Show, Fallon joked about typing "how to return" into Google and receiving the autofill suggestion: "How to return Prince Harry to England."
In January, Jimmy Kimmel Live featured at least three parodies of the book, including a satirical reenactment of Princess Diana from beyond the grave recommending Elizabeth Arden cream for Prince Harry's frostbitten penis.
Saturday Night Live took a playful jab at the couple in December 2022, shortly before the release of their Netflix show. Guest hosts Steve Martin and Martin Short bantered about being like Harry and Meghan, with Short joking: "You know Steve, we are like Harry and Meghan. No one's rooting for us but you'll tune in to watch anyway."

Corrected: Netflix stand-up comedy special "Chris Rock: Selective Outrage" showcases Rock's intense anger towards Will Smith
Chris Rock at the Hippodrome Theater Saturday in Baltimore. |
US - During his live performance in Baltimore, Rock revealed his resentment towards Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, stating that Jada had hurt Will more than he had hurt Rock. Rock dedicated the last eight minutes of his special to express his feelings about Smith slapping him during last year's Oscars ceremony. He hurled a series of profanities and criticism, claiming that Smith had slapped him because of the backlash he had received for Jada's affair becoming public.
Rock criticized Smith for his "selective outrage" and accused him of attacking him instead of his wife, who had been unfaithful. The comedian also joked about Jada's request for him to quit hosting the Oscars in 2016 because of Will's snub for the movie Concussion. Rock admitted to messing up the joke, which he originally attributed to Will's snub for Emancipation, not Concussion.
Rock acknowledged being a huge fan of Will Smith before the incident, but after the slap, he found it difficult to watch Smith's movies, including Emancipation. Rock stated that he now watches Emancipation just to see Smith get beaten.
Smith had publicly apologized for the incident, but Rock's side of the story had not been revealed until his stand-up special. (*)
