Rat: If you're talking about the "I love black people, but I hate..." bit, I think the key difference is that Chris Rock was a comedian speaking in the context of comedy, trying to incite people to laugh. Bill Cosby happens to be a comedian, but was saying what Chris Rock said in the context of cultural insipiration. The fact that Cosby has a PhD does help, but Chris Rock could have set a straight face, said the same thing and gotten at least a somewhat similar reaction of making people stop and think.
