I think Chris even came out later on and expressed regret over this joke.

[...]at home, his mother raised Rock to believe he was better than everybody else. "My mother can be a ghetto snob," says Rock.

"She thought she was better than everybody else," says Bradley.

"Yes," says Rock.

And how does that play out in his comedy?

"I guess a routine like 'n------ and black people' is something a ghetto snob would write," says Rock.

This controversial routine on HBO's "Bring The Pain," made Rock a star back in 1996: "There's, like, a civil war going on with black people, and there's two sides. There's black people, and there's n------. And n------ have to go."

Why does he think it got so much attention?

"I think a lot of people were thinking in those terms and hadn't been able to say it. By the way, I've never done that joke again, ever, and I probably never will," says Rock. "'Cause some people that were racist thought they had license to say n-----. So, I'm done with that routine."

What's so bad about it now
And don't say anything about white people

There's no other reason to use that term other than being racist. You have hundreds of terms you can use- ignorant, trashy, stupid, low class, etc. These are terms you can use for any person of any race that fits them.
Ignore Rock's leather jacket and raw delivery, and listen to his message. When he uses the term, he's basically just saying that some blacks make all blacks look bad in the eyes of whites. Dude was straight c00nin'.
