While Americans were watching fireworks displays and enjoying barbecues, Chris Rock was stirring up some fireworks of his own with a controversial July 4 tweet.
“Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren’t free but I’m sure they enjoyed fireworks,”Rock tweeted.
Reactions came fast and furious, with some fans telling the actor/comedian they were now swearing off his films for what they considered an unpatriotic comment.

*lmbao*

It's the 'elephant in the room' truth....
Of course, we all have bar-b-ques. It's a day off from work for many... but 'The 4th' really isn't about any that isn't white.
It was their war. Their fight.
*shrug*

Indeed. Plus, he says things like this all day on stage during his routine's so it's not like they've never heard it before....

Half the people upset about his comments probably don't know the half about this wicked holiday.
