I've said it before and I'll say it again for the RECORD
There was not an OUNCE of c00ning in that speech
Cosby was attempting to appeal to blacks through exposing the ridculousness of the situations that a segment (not everyone mind you) ALLOW ourselves to wallow in.
He basically gave you the real life version of Aaron Mcgruder's Dr King Speech from the Boondocks.
He wasn't speaking to white people to get props for "respectability politics" he was speaking DIRECTLY to US as black people to first and foremost RESPECT OURSELVES enough to NOT shun education, enlightment, and knowledge of self.
People gonna call you a c00n and try to beg you, but you right. Look at how people who shytted on Cosby since that speech, lives have been. The OOW birth rate is insane, people openly clown our would-be engineers, politicians, and doctors; destroying their potential before it forms, music has gotten even more negative, and so on.
But Farrakhan amd Dr. Claude Anderson made speeches that were worse than this by far, but no one said a word.
