That pound cake speech is why he’s in there, the judge is on record saying it.

Try and expose or disrupt the scam and they’ll definitely make an example out of your ass

I am not sure what put a target on his back but pound cake was over a decade past when this started happening. They could have got him back then. Not sure what he was doing recently.

Can you briefly elaborate on this. I see people in here referring to Bill as a c00n or a sellout for telling black people to tighten up whilst ignoring white supremacy. Do people really think Bill calling out white supremacy would change anything?

Wouldn’t it be more impactful to tell your people first to clean themselves up starting with how we treat and refer to one another? All my life, I’ve seen Bill put on for black people. From his early films to Fat Albert to the Cosby show and beyond.

Seeing this man serve time in an institution is a tragedy but it’s also a testament to his moral character that he is still doing well and in great spirits. Keep strong Bill.

well here's the link to what I was talking about, the judge used that speech as a reason to call cosby a "moralist" who deserved looking into or whatever:
Bill Cosby's 'Pound Cake' Lecture to Black Parents Made Judge Unseal Court Documents

Also, no matter what people think or feel about that speech, that shyt sparked discussions around the country in our community for well over a decade afterward

no speech in my life given by anyone has ever done that. not even jesse, al, farrakhan and Obama can say that.

Now people are talking about his rapes and not that speech - mission accomplished :francis:

So black folks have 0 accountability for the rickety that goes on in a lot of lower income black communities? Also, is that all you got?



ohh we do but go back and listen he pretty much deflected and dismissed any idea of white supremacy been the main culprit for the overall condition of black folks... that is buck dancing...we have 600 pound elephant in the room but we looking at the everything in the room except the obvious

Speeches should be brief when addressing your community. Imo focus should be on what you offer, it’s successes and how people can get involved. Chastising in public has little intended effect and even if it’s tough love it won’t be received well.

White supremacy is responsible for a helluva lot when it comes to our plight.... and Bill Cosby has addresses white supremacy dating back to the 70s..... how does someone sum up the totality of a 68 years old man based on 4 minute poorly executed speech.... shyt is foolish.....

He does that why in one my post i said i wont disrespect him out of what he suffered and did but u cant tell me that waging his finger acting above folks was gonna go over well ,specially after he gets hit by dubious sexual harassment charges by white folks.

he regrets it huh ?:francis: better late than never, but this is the way it ends for folks that buckdance for white supremacy , they get thrown under the bus after they no longer have use for u :yeshrug:



Hope other blacks in position of influence learn from this, but i doubt it
Who’s to say he didn’t regret it before? When has he been asked about that speech since he made it? It was over 20 years ago.

People forget Cosby actually did a nationwide TOUR talking to Black audiences and meeting community leaders to help find solutions and hone his message. He said back then in community meetings he wished he had exempted Blacks doing well from the pound cake speech.

This is why he isn't a c00n. Most Black people will spout this nonesense on FOX or something and then bask in the glory. He didn't want their daps, he actually wants shyt to change.
