Analysis: In a way I applaud Chris Rock for speaking his mind and making his point clearly on World Wide Television. What is the right time to say what he wanted to say? Maybe not maybe it was and he may be thrown into the fire of many after his comments but he knew what he was doing and meant what he said. In conclusion i don't see a problem with it.

(Angelique Flores 9th) Chris Rock gets into racism debate during Oscar monologue
Summary: During the 2016 Academy Awards Chris Rock walked out after the opening of the awards and said “I counted at least 15 black people on that montage. I’m here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the White People’s Choice awards. If they nominated hosts, I wouldn’t even get this job.” Chris being the guy he is didn't just stop there after looking around the room and seeing some of the audiences shock at his comment he then said pointing out that African-Americans didn't protest similar “white-outs” in the ‘60s, because they were “too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematographer.” some laughed not really catching onto the jokes point. If it wasn't for Chris kind of biting his tongue he probably would've gone even further and just called all of Hollywood racists considering some of the points he made and others have made during many award shows.

I did my blog on this also. I admired how 'no filter' his speech was and I think that was the best way to keep the audience entertained while also honestly discussing the diversity issue.
