He said he regretted not praising Blacks doing well a couple years after the speech when he was doing his tour to talk about the issues.
That’s what I’m saying. I never thought Bill Cosby was a c00n. Any black person has older black people in their family who might talk the same way. Not because they have disdain for black people, but the way they grew up, they had it worse and made no excuses.

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.
Yes I own the accompanying book to that tour:

It really upsets me when I see people my age and younger saying “fukk Bill Cosby, he didn’t care about black people anyway.” Bill did more for black people in one year than all these people talking shyt have done in their lives.

Bill gave heavily to HBCUs and singlehandedly shifted Black entertainment from pimps, poor people, and criminals to positive role models in the 1980s. He paid his dues more than 99% of these so called 'woke' entertainers. When did any other entertainers give tens of millions to Black schools or the UNCF?

Bill cosby wasnt doing anything that a bunch of rich white men havent been doing. I'm not saying that makes it right, but it's also not fair he's the scape goat.

Where's Harvey Weinstein again?
He's in New York with an ankle monitor on a $1 million bail awaiting trial that starts in January.

The first police report against Weinstein came 15 years after the first police report against Cosby (and 12 years after the second independent report). It was a Black man who made the allegations against Cosby well-known and public a good 3 years before the allegations against Weinstein became public. So it's no surprise that Cosby's trial came first.

But Weinstein is just as screwed. No matter what happens in New York, he has another case waiting in LA and police in London are investigating 15 different incidents against him.

I think Michael Jackson also gave millions to the UNCF, but yeah agreed. “Funny” how white media has essentially tried to turn black society against these two major icons in our society. While I’m at it, fukk a Marc Lamont Hill too. He was one of the main people speaking against Cosby. He’s from Philly and Bill is the reason he’s in the position he’s in today. He owes his life to Bill.

free Cosby

dude is a legend forever based on everything he did for blacks globally.

How could nikkas turn on Bill Cosby out of everybody, he didn't sugarcoat shyt and often presented his ideas in a polarizing fashion, but dude put his money where his mouth was when it came to caring about the progression of black people.

Dude should be deified with other great black figures, and this is how his legacy ends.

He got railroaded.

Meek Mill or Boosie had more support than Cosby. :francis:

I think Cosby's guilty, but that doesn't make anything that you said not true. I grew up with Fat Albert, The Cosby Show, and A Different World. NOTHING came even close to comparing in terms of positive portrayals of Black life in the mainstream media. The fact that Fat Albert was about inner city life, The Cosby Show was a Black doctor with a strong Black woman, and A Different World about an HBCU is just mind-blowing to think about today. That was groundbreaking and he deserves praise the rest of his life for that even if he did terrible shyt and deserves to be in jail as well.

Imagine living to be 83 years old to only serve a prison sentence. I'm unsure about his innocence but I'm glad his presence has a chance to make a difference to the inmate population.

He's guilty but that not the reason he's in prison

So what convinces you of Bill Cosby's guilt?

What happened to Bill Cosby is really a parable. A parable that respectability politics will never work. Cosby was a man who embodied respectability politics. White America called him “America’s dad” for God’s sake. Cosby was probably the most respected black man in mainstream white society at one point in time because he wasn’t like the other negroes. :mjpls:He destroyed stereotypical depictions of black folks on the Cosby show. He hBut his whole image was built on the shoddy foundation of respectability politics.

When black folks and other minorities get a good “education” and an upper middle class white collar job and marry a white person and move into a white upper class neighborhood, they get converted to the religion of respectability politics. And the Pound Cake speech was respectability politics 101 for that ass. :usure:Bill was talking out his ass and the white supremacy he tried to say was an invisible boogie man eventually betrayed him and swallowed his ass to rot in the same place with the same disenfranchised black folks he was chastising.

But Bill is ultimate proof respectability politics don’t work. They had zero physical evidence that man raped anyone. Zero. He gave women qualludes to come down from coke at parties in the 70’s. Qualludes are not roofies and don’t have the effect of roofies. Bill didn’t have to rape anyone. He was the fukking man.:leostare: Look at those pictures from the 70’s, those white women were all over him and he looked indifferent. :mindblown:

The Cosby trial is proof that when enough white people say something is true in Amerikkka, whether it is actually true or not, it becomes a fact regardless. This is how white supremacy works. They locked Bill up for allegedly raping white women with no hard evidence the same way they would lock up broke ass Daquan from building 115 on the seventh floor for the same type of allegations with no real evidence except crying white women. :what:Even though he was “America’s dad”, he was still a nikka. :picard:
