My dad forwarded an email to me containing Bill Cosby's speech, and I never knew until then that I would have so much respect for Bill Cosby. I remember a couple years ago, some black kids were listening to a "comedy" CD where some black stand-ups were bashing Bill Cosby. Apparently, they think it's funny when someone tells Bill to "suck my dick." And that's the kind of degenerate attitude that Bill is speaking out against here. I would think that a black man would be able to get this point across to the black community a lot more effectively than even the most reasonable white person on the planet, and I hope the black community takes these strong words to heart. (C'mon, now, if Jesse Jackson agreed with him, it's not a liberal-conservative thing--it's a common sense thing!) In this event, no one will be able to play the race card either.
