Comedian and actor Chris Rock told New York magazine he stopped playing colleges because they’ve gotten “way too conservative.”
Writer Frank Rich asked Rock about some of his recent, controversial jokes about the Boston Marathon, 9/11 and the World Trade Center, and whether the backlash could hurt his career. Diving deeper, Rich asked Rock about his thoughts on students’ attempt to block Bill Maher from speaking on campus due to his comments on HBO about Muslims. That’s when Rock said college campuses in America were too conservative, though, not necessarily in a political way:
"Not in their political views — not like they’re voting Republican — but in their social views and their willingness not to offend anybody. Kids raised on a culture of “We’re not going to keep score in the game because we don’t want anybody to lose.” Or just ignoring race to a fault. You can’t say “the black kid over there.” No, it’s “the guy with the red shoes.” You can’t even be offensive on your way to being inoffensive."

Just ask some racist people that you might know or go on playstation or Xbox and listen to the kids thats under 14,you will utterly be amazed at the stuff they have been taught about black people...truly amazing and until you do that,until you ask that question to atleast 100 plus racist people then you will never know how seriously deep it has gotten.

I have asked over 500 white people in my studies why you hate black people.
Because they eat watermelon.
Because they stink.
Because they have beards.
Because they sell drugs
Because they just sitting on welfare and collecting food stamps.
Because they have big lips
Because they eat all the fried chicken
Because they spending food stamps on shrimp
Because they animals and they do not deserved to be liked
Because I pay taxes
Because they look like monkeys
I'm just casually jumping in at the end here. I dont know what you've been saying, but after that I dont believe anything you say.
NO WAY!
No way white people HATE black people because of beards, chicken or watermelon.
Most any man dons a beard from time to time.
And I dont know anybody that doesn't like chicken; I've only known one person that didn't like watermelon.
Sure fried chicken & watermelon is a stereotype that amuses many people, but it isnt a CAUSE for HATE, nor if such a stereotype does amuse people it does it inherently mean they HATE them as a group.
And NO WAY you've asked people 'why do you hate us' and gotten any of those 3 as answers. No way in hell.
Peoples inability to take a joke is the real problem here, as demonstrated by the fact most big comedians wont even play college campuses anymore.
