I think this kind of diversity is needed more in popular media. Look at the diversity of guests here. Comedians, boxers, politicians. All in the same panel.
I agree with Chris Rock's overall point, but he needs to be reasonable about it. It isn't slavery, and they are giving those guys a college education, which is something that a lot of white kids don't get either.
But it's true that those guys work their asses off, juggling sports and class, and they do bring billions of dollars in, which ultimately goes to giving white kids world class educations.
And then Bill seems to just have it in for athletes. I could understand pro athletes to some extent, but college athletes? Most college athletes never make it to the pros, and regardless of whether they do or not, they do not have the same allowances as pros when they are in college. They have even less than regular college kids do. They can lose everything if they mess up since everything depends on sports. Regular kids can do whatever and as long as they pay tuition it's ok.
chris rock seems to dominate shows he goes on by being hyper racially sensitive and being loud. I am a fan of him, but i can see my position changed if i see this trend continue. I searched for this episode for jon stewart and bill maher (and maybe anne coulter would through in some rediclous things), but i seem to have just see chris rock accusing colleges of slavery. How does breaking a rule in a game not disqualify you?!?!?! in any other sport? how is he missing that?
@kirtrevans please tell me how you reasoned your way from what i said to the remark that i "think blacks are equal now because of obama"? I can't remember what i meant 7 months ago and i dont feel like watching this again. The only thing correct in your comment is that i am white.
Me too. I just hope there is no bitterness between Jon and Bill because Jon has won so many Emmy Awards. This was the perfect panel for Politically Incorrect. I loved this show and Bill did a great job on it and when he left to go to HBO he has done only better. Politically Incorrect and Real Time With Bill Maher are the greatest political shows ever.

Lennox Lewis is a punk; he won the title of punk ass when retired right after winning the heavy weight champion of the world. He refused a rematch in a questionable fight of who really won personally I think he lost and he knows he lost and that is why he retired and was given the title of punk ass.

You say that like Bill Maher wanted to stop doing Politically Incorrect. He was fired.

I don't recall that. But I will say I'm glad he left ABC and went to HBO and he has since made an even better show with better guests.

The official reason was because of "low ratings", but it was really because of some comments Bill made after 9/11.
