📺Chris Rock’s Confederate flag bit still hits different 🔥🔥🔥🔥
In this late-90s segment from The Chris Rock Show, Rock goes to South Carolina and turns a heated political debate into pure street comedy. He listens to locals, then casually floats replacement flags — including one with Malcolm X in Confederate colors and another covered in cheese. The timing and deadpan delivery make the whole exchange feel effortless.
What stands out years later is how he manages to roast both sides without turning the bit into a lecture. It’s sharp, uncomfortable, and still funny in a way a lot of current commentary isn’t.
A reminder that good comedy can talk about charged subjects without losing the joke.
❓Does this kind of humor still work today, or has the culture moved past it?

When Dire Straits took the stage at Live Aid in '85, most fans had no idea why Sting joined them, but when he started singing the opening lyrics to "Money For Nothing", they realized it was his voice on the radio hit which widely went unnoticed til then 🔥 Goosebumps when Mark Knopfler finally plays that guitar riff and the crowd takes over for the drums.
Colin Montgomerie is getting fed up of slow play at the professional level.
With the first round at @TheOpen taking nearly six hours for groups in the afternoon, does the top tier of the game need to address the slow play issue?

Stephen A. Smith claps back at Trump:
“The brother wasn't awake. If it was that important for you to be there, why did you look like you were asleep? Didn't you call out former President Joe Biden, 'Sleepy Joe'? Well, what should we call you?”
