About this Quote

This quote by Chris Rock is a funny yet poignant commentary on the racial divide in America. It suggests that there are 2 kinds of shopping malls in every town: one that is often visited by white people and one that used to be often visited by white individuals. This suggests that white individuals have the opportunity of being able to pick which mall they go to, while individuals of color might not have the very same luxury. It also implies that white people have the power to choose which shopping malls succeed and which ones are not. This quote highlights the disparities between white individuals and individuals of color in regards to access to resources and opportunities. It also serves as a reminder that racism is still a prevalent issue in our society and that we must continue to work towards developing a more fair and just society.
