I just saw an outrageously shameful clip from The Jay Leno Show with Chris Rock, Oct 1st segment.
Here are the specific quotes if you don't care to watch:
Jay Leno: "It's amazing to me that you mistreat a dog and you lose your career and go to jail for two years."
Chris Rock: "What the hell did Michael Vick do, man? A dog, a pit bull ain't even a real dog. A pit bull, that's the white stuff. Dogs are white mans best friend - dogs have never been good to black people."
I cannot believe that a public personality like Jay Leno, who knows he is a role model for all people, would make a flippant comment about justice being done on behalf of those who don't have a voice. Those dogs that he cluelessly talked about were cruelly mistreated, beaten, abused, and injured in staged dog fights for the sake of betting by heartless humans. As for Chris Rock, he sells himself as a bitter has been grasping at the lowest of low on the show. So the words were not surprising coming from him.
Shame on Jay and shame on Chris for condoning criminal acts of Mike Vick. And even Mike has come out and said he was wrong and paid for it. I hope Mike calls them out for that, because it belittle's nature's life, justice and the price that he paid. It's not just jail time but humiliation and having to struggle back with his career.
At issue here is that Jay has no respect for life - for animals. He also has no respect for when a fragile justice system like ours in America, finally works in favor of the victims. In this case, dogs who cannot defend themselves. And more shame to Chris for his comment that dogs have never been good to black people. This is just simply pandering to an audience at the very lowest level as well as building more on the racial divide.
We don't need people to build more prejudicial walls. We need people who break them down. It's people like both Jay and Chris who do nothing to help society move forward but instead pull society back into the dark ages.
It's a wonder that Jay's relevance is slowly revealing itself in lower ratings. He's marginalizing himself. As for Chris, after his comment, he's no longer relevant as far as I 'm concerned.
On a cheerier note- check out the dogs who were saved from Mike VIck's dog fighting facility and their second chance at life.
