TelevisionChris Rock Jay Leno The Jay Leno Show
Chris Rock on Roman Polanski, Dogs, and Good Hair
4:34 pm Friday Oct 2, 2009 by Stelios Phili

Chris Rock has just convinced us to watch the next episode of The Jay Leno Show. As last night’s guest, Rock came on to promote his new documentary, Good Hair. Along the way, he gave his thoughts on the Roman Polanski scandal (“People are defending roman Polanski because he made . . . good movies 30 years ago. Even Johnny Cochran don’t have the nerve to go, ‘Well did you see OJ play against New England?’”), dogs (“dogs have never been good to black people”), and the potential for Leno-Rock wife swapping (“We switch up, c’mon!”). Check out the hilarious interview after the jump.

And for those who are curious about Rock’s documentary, below is the trailer for Good Hair.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!! This is one subject that should not become a documentary, black women have it hard already as it is. Putting there business out there like that is humiliating, giving people an inside look into what measures we go to to look European or have "good hair" will only result in more discrimination and assumptions that other races are better because of hair types.
