Cosbys commentary is also strikingly similar to the words of a younger, hipper cultural critic: comedian Chris Rock. In Rocks Niggas vs. Black people routine from his breakthrough 1996 Bring the Pain tour, Rock contrasted the values of middle class blacks with lower-income blacks who had succumbed to a kind of gangsta despair... There's like a civil war going on with black people, Rock announced. There are two sides: there's black people, and there's niggas. And niggas have got to go. That Chris Rock routine is hysterical, and also very insightful.

Have you seen Chris Rock's new HBO special.
He's flipped 180 degrees and now blames all of black americas problems on white folks.
Just like everyone else
