Chris Rock and Nia Long with Matt Zaller Talking Race with a Baby Doll

Chris Rock has a new film called GOOD HAIR, which discusses the culture of hair within the African-American community. The film is a funny and informative snapshot of the subject. Matt decided to bring an African-American baby doll to see what, if any, stereotypes he could dispel.

Justin Timberlake is so 2002...he's no longer on the VIP list.

And he would never date a black girl in public, are you kidding me. He said in 106 and Park he had a "weakness for the sisters" yeah right. That's why he sold Janet Jackson out...please, I see right through that 'man'.

please, Im sure there are some people in Memphis who would string a Black person up without even thinking twice, so Im not sure that saying he's from memphis says anything.

Either way, as a Black woman we don't need Justin to "love us". That kind of love can be damaging to our health, we just need to love ourselves.

@mercylyn19 - Chris said won't be too hard to find. LOL!!!

Big ups to Nia and Chris on this one. Perfectly handled the entire situation.

@mellaLee21 Right on sista!!!!

I don't know why black women fall head over hills for artists when they sing "black music." Taste in music does not define taste in lovers lol. As a black woman, if I were to be a indie rock singer, does that mean I'm into white guys. No, not necessarily. It's like this validation/desperation thing that makes no sense. I mean, if you fall in love with a white guy, cool...and hopefully it's not for superficial/stereotypical reasons.

@MeccaEvil Well that's US Weekly. Tabloids make up stuff all the time. Did they name who that "friend" was? Justin keeps a very short list of people that are very close to him, and they don't talk to rags and spill about his personal life.

And wow, I made that comment a year ago lol.

@thefloacist I agree, and I feel he said that for their audience, because the same week he was on TRL and his whole attitude was different for their audience. I remember reading this in a magazine: "A friend of Justin's swears she's not his type: 'He's into athletic tomboyish white girls.." US Weekly when he was rumored on cheating with a black waitress

[sosweetyumii]

He said wont be hard to find

[mercylyn19]

what did chris say at the end that made them laugh soo hard?

[liacashmere58]

@BohemianLeaves I think he means blk women like him. 

[BohemianLeaves]

What did he mean by 'certain white guys with black women on they're V.I.P list?' Did it mean Marky Mark likes black women or black women like him?
