Chris Rock dished the big "problem with wokeness" is it turned its true believers into coldhearted prudes who are unwilling to forgive people for supposed transgressions, no matter how big or small.
The comedy icon weighed in on the "Woke 1.o era" during a Saturday interview with The New York Times in which he compared it to the Old Testament… or what Jews simply refer to as the Bible.
Rock said it was "great" that society became more concerned with how "marginalized" people are treated in recent years, but he said the movement has gone way too far and become ruthless.
"The problem with wokeness is we're in the Old Testament right now, okay," Rock said. "The Old Testament has no forgiveness. The Old Testament didn't work, so they had to write a remix called the New Testament."
The Interview co-host David Marchese followed up by saying there has been a lot of talk about it lately, especially after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared "Woke 1 was crazy!" back in August.

Elon Musk reportedly used his first dance with his then-wife to establish who was in charge.
"I am the alpha in this relationship," Musk allegedly told his first wife, Justine Wilson Musk, as the newlyweds danced at their 2000 wedding, according to her appearance in Alex Gibney's new documentary Musk, which was viewed by People.
More than two decades later, Justine says the comment wasn't an isolated moment. She describes a marriage in which Musk regularly criticized her, made her feel insignificant, and spoke to her as though she worked for him.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
"I learned the term 'gaslighting' through my relationship with Elon," Justine says in the film. "He was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking."

Miss USA and Miss America are often confused, but the pageants are quite different.
Women aged 18 to 28 can compete in Miss America. All women 18 and over can now compete at Miss USA.
Miss USA has a swimsuit round, which Miss America got rid of in 2018.
Do you know the difference between Miss USA and Miss America?
They're the two biggest pageants in the country, and both involve a sash and crown. But that's where most of their similarities end.
