    In the wake of the Donald Sterling scandal, comedian Chris Rock gave a hysterical yet true depiction of wealthy white America in his opening monologue of the 2014 BET Awards.

    “Now let me get this straight. An 83-year old white man doesn’t like black people. Is that news? Come on. First of all, a black person couldn’t look him in the eye until he was 45. The first black man he ever met he got for Christmas.”

    Rock’s humor and enlightening of racial strife in this country had the audience in stitches but that didn’t change the fact that a multi-millionaire was forced to sell his business because of his beliefs.
