Chris Rock has once again found himself in the spotlight following the controversial incident at the 2022 Oscar Awards.
The renowned comedian has been making waves with his remarks on the ongoing controversy.
In a recent Netflix special, Rock didn’t hold back as he took a swipe at Meghan Markle.
Let’s delve into what he had to say about the Duchess of Sussex.
Both Chris Rock and Meghan Markle have been dominating headlines for different reasons.
While Meghan has been embroiled in her own family drama within the royal household, Chris Rock needs no introduction after the infamous slap incident.
However, the comedian light-heartedly poked fun at Meghan’s claims regarding comments made about her son’s skin color.
During his stand-up special titled “Selective Outrage,” as reported by Entertainment Tonight, Chris Rock humorously addressed Meghan Markle’s allegations of racism within the royal family.
Referring to the interview with Oprah Winfrey in April 2021, where Meghan and Harry disclosed concerns about their child’s skin tone prior to Archie’s birth, Rock quipped, “Oh, they’re so racist, they’re so racist.
Some of that sh-she went through was not racism.
It was just some in-lawsh.”
Rock went on to dismiss Meghan’s accusations as mere family dynamics, stating, “That’s not racist, ’cause even black people want to know how brown the baby gon’ be, shh, we check behind their ears.”
Furthermore, while discussing Meghan’s interview with Oprah, the comedian humorously criticized her, saying she acted clueless and questioned her knowledge about the royal family, exclaiming, “It’s the RoL family.
You didn’t Google those, mother.
What the f- she’s talking about?

In his scathing commentary, Chris Rock didn’t spare the royal family either, labeling them as the “Sugarhill Gang of Racism.”
He boldly declared them as the original purveyors of racism, attributing the invention of colonialism and racism to them.
Rock likened them to the “OGs of racism” and the “Sugarhill Gang of Racism-like.”
Adding another layer to his performance, Chris Rock also took a playful jab at the Kardashians and shared insights on being embraced by white in-laws.
Reflecting on the struggles of being accepted by one’s partner’s family, Rock humorously suggested, “Meghan Markle, I know the dilemma.
