Chris Rock on supermarkets

[Byker]

"White people have nice supermarkets. Inviting supermarkets. In the white
supermarket, the nice doors slide open, you step in, and cool breeze hits
your face. It's lovely. The whole place says, "Come on in."

"All the white people reading this...: next time you go to the market, kiss
your grocer.

"In the black supermarket the doors are always fucked up. Your have to jump
on the electric pad two or three times to make them open. Now and then the
doors will hit back and smack you in the head It's almost as if they know
you're broke. When you get in, a hot, hot breeze hit you in the face and
place is dark. Half the lights don't work. Some markets don't even have
lights -- only skylights. When the sun goes down, the supermarket is
closed.

"There's nothing fresh in a black supermarket, unless you count "fresh from
the can." There's no red meat. The meat is brown. And if you do get some
red meat, you better cook it THAT day because it's gonna be spoiled tomorow.
You'll wake up and locusts will be having a convention on the meat -- and
all because you wanted to shop black.

"All the fruits are nasty, too. Flies circle around the fruit and even the
flies aren't new. Sometimes the grocer sticks in plastic fruit to try and
fool you -- and the flies. If you can get an apple, it's got a worm in it.

"And the worm is dead."
