The Racism Episode...

When that woman said there were "good" stories about slavery, I had to shut it down. I am so embarrassed for these people who talk there way further into the pile of *beep* they already live in because of these world views.

I actually had the same reaction, except I was more outraged than anything. It was completely disgusting to hear, and that entire segment of her being in South Carolina with the confederacy whatever's was hard to watch. They seriously sat there and tried to downplay slavery as if it was nothing more than just a job for these people and they were well taken care of. And the tractor comment. Lord.

I think the hardest part was them showing the murder of Walter Scott. i live in America so of course I know what is happening, but in a way I sheltered myself from that because I simply didn't want to believe that it was real. That it was really happening in this day and age. And sadly it is. And to have seen it so abruptly, and to see his family and their reaction. I mean, you could just see the pain in their eyes and I just broke down. It's absolutely atrocious. And don't even get me started on the white guy who has half-Mexican grandchildren. Being a Hispanic male with an immigrant mother, it hit entirely too close to home. To see the fervor in his eyes, and to hear the passion in his voice and how adamant he was on his position on immigration just broke my heart. There are people out there like him. And like those moron confederate re-enacters. It's depressing.

Overall, I think Chelsea did a fantastic job on her docu-series. It gave us a much more in-depth look at her life and allowed us to see her in a more vulnerable way. She always has this really tough exterior on, so to see her really look within herself and come to terms with some things in her life was refreshing. I can count on two fingers the times I've seen Chelsea Handler get emotional, and to see someone who's usually that tough be so raw and open like that....it was hard not to go on a feels trip with her.

Am I the only one who's pissed off that the first real interview part of the whole episode (and the person the documentary cuts back to most often) was with Al Sharpton, a racist black man??
I mean, honestly. If you want to have a balanced conversation about race, you don't start with a guy who would probably kick a white man into the gutter just to help a black man stand up out of a chair.
He definitely talked the talk in his soundbite, but puh-lease. Those words don't represent how he lives his life at all.
I'm not a fan of Chelsea, but I had high hopes for this docu-series.

She's also a disgraceful representation of the Jewish people. She should definitely go to that Jewish museum and learn about her heritage. Gosh.

I hear you inceptionisthebest. And unfortunately, not only does this view exist pertaining to race but to women as well. It creeps me out when I think about innocent women being brutalized and forced into a sex slave trade. How do we police and correct ourselves when we as a species can be predatory and hateful?

This episode is by far the most interesting and serious of them, and after watching it I don't think that could be a better public person to talk about it openly than the way she did. Most of it also shows Chelsea herself that she was also unaware about how much some of her jokes and humor become mean when analyzed in a wider scope. This episode is not only important for audience but also to herself who can obviously self claim not racist, but makes clear that racism is so absorbed in our culture that we don't even notice when we are. And so doesn't she. But of couse that her vision about people and races and religion and cultures are a lot different from those ones who are obviously racist and prejudice. She tries to avoid judge them openly as she could because her purpose was to give people oportunity to express their thoughts doesn't matter if it's good or not, but her sarcasm over those ones that are completely neglecting human rights is like knives cutting their throats. I laugh and I cried a lot of times. I laughed because of her comedy relieves, and I cried because she did show the worst of us in a very pointed and clear way, chosing the right people to talk about it in the easiest way as possible, a way that even an eight yo kid would understand. She did an amazing work.

I was laughing when the woman was arguing that some slaves had it good and came back to their owners after freedom, and Chelsea was like, "Okay, have you ever heard of the term "Stockholm syndrome?"" and the lady was like "I get the feeling that your line of question here is aggressive and condescending" and ended the interview. The upside is that all of those people willingly announced themselves as racist trash for all of Netflix to see.

This episode made me mad. One mostly because of having the most racist piece of garbage on- Al Sharpton. Nothing he says is meaningful. And her comments on bringing in more illegals in... Just makes me mad and proves that she is probably a Hollywood liberal. I like her, she is so straight forward and funny but this episode was not good. Also showing those stories of some of the blacks killed by police, most of whom were criminals!
