One of the greatest comedians of all-time made an appearance on the show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last week to issue his support for President Barack Obama in the coming election. It was not a typical endorsement either. Rock appeared in a PSA-like video on the show, making a plea to white voters. Rock’s plea was that Obama has plenty of white cultural influences in his life.
“Let’s take a look at the facts,” Rock said in the video. “For the first two-thirds of his life, Barack Obama was known as Barry–which is the third whitest name on Earth, right after Cody and Jeff.”

Rock is a supporter of Obama, who said, “Barack Obama supports gay marriage. Most black men don’t even support straight marriage.”
In the video, Rock provides viewers with footage of Obama performing some ‘white’ activities such as wearing ‘mom jeans,’ dancing on Ellen’s show and playing golf. Rock even goes on to say the following, “Barack Obama supports gay marriage. Most black men don’t even support straight marriage.”

Today, equity partners almost always have to prove that they can contribute their share to the firm. So what does this mean for associates and how can a two-tiered partnership track be beneficial? With a two-tiered partnership structure, associates get more time to prove themselves and also more time to determine whether partnership is the right goal for them.

Hello Sargent Major, Chris Rock of the all color troop of comedians and our white officers who support us (SNL). If y’all let this election die and not milk it for all it’s worth…?! We should look for the 8 million white voters that can’t be found?! You can start at the cemeteries around the country, some said, Hey I’m gonna vote for the black guy… (The next morning) He won?!
