Chris Rock, like most comedians, used the same punch line, if you will, for a different though similar context. The thing about comedians mixing social and political commentary in their routines is that a rip-roaring laugh doesn't make what they say true or otherwise.
When I first heard of affirmative action (as a teenager), I was disturbed that after years of meritocracy even amongst ourselves in segregation, here we go with something even more ridiculous than forced integration. I never thought we needed it. As I said before, the most brilliant Black people I've met were products of the segregated south. I am not praising segregation, but , again, through honest competition and merit, the cream rises. I've no doubt that there are thousands of us who have prospered through AA. Probably a lot have failed being fast-tracked and not prepared. There must be a lot of stories of un-intended consequences.
In short, a contentious and wrong solution to a real problem.
