JILL SCOTT SUPPORTS BILL COSBY

[spliz]

here's the actual article that the Gawker story is talking about:

I'll say this...

I wouldn't have done it like that, but I understand where Cosby is coming from.

I mean, he's one of the fathers of our community (like it or not ) and he's had his opinions of things; and the truth of the matter is, he's earned a right (obviously) to be able to publicly say his opinion and be heard.

I agree with a lot of what he says....... even if I don't always agree with the way he says it.

Basically Cosby was trying to tell the student that you should always strive to do your best, instead of just doing enough to get by... and he was trying to enforce in the students the fact that he was alive back in the day when black people couldn't even go to the schools that they are able to go to now...

and he saw many people die in the Civil Rights movement for black people to get to where we are

and then to see all that promise and hope result in the likes of Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim and Young Thug

can you imagine how disheartening that is? I mean, let's not talk about Jesse Jackson, James Meredith and ppl like that

Let's talk about those men and women that marched and were out there getting hosed down, arrested, dogs sicced on them

we don't know their names... but can you imagine how disheartening it is for them to see that they fought for all these things only for a generation of brehs with pants hanging off of them and girls that are emulating Nicki Minaj to prosper?

before their fans jump on me, hear me out

I mean, y'all may like to listen to these ppl's music (i like Wayne sometimes) but the truth of the matter is...

the culture of rap (what's being pushed out there in the mainstream) is destructive... it encourages you to get high, get strapped, think about getting laid all the time, hustling is okay, stripping is okay...

We had so much promise and hope and opportunity and the truth of the matter is, we've squandered it

We had the opportunity to build up great cities like Detroit, but we elected Kwame, the hip hop mayor

I mean, what did y'all think somebody that was going around calling himself the "hip hop mayor" was gonna do?

he was gonna get that money and get them hoes

I mean, let's be real.

ppl on here are mad at Cosby for calling black men and women out on their stuff...

but we do it every day here on the Coli

only difference between us and Cosby is that his voice and his reach are much larger than ours

can't fault him for that... he worked to get to where he is in life


The truth of the matter is: if our generation and the generation before us had the tough love that we should have been given, then our communities wouldn't be in the condition they're in today

And Cosby saw that and he did what he thought was the right thing to try to change that

and look at it his way: he can actually claim personal responsibility for a lot of these people even having the chance to attend college, cause of his LARGE (VERY LARGE) financial donations

so no one can ever say he doesn't care. He obviously does.

he's just a tough love kind of person... you can tell that he's the type of father that in his heyday, if his son started getting buck, he'd have body slammed him

I can't fault that... my dad had to bodyslam me more than once and I'll probably have to bodyslam my future son one day



tough love is better than no love

Cosby is a pointing fingers ass hypocrite fam..and I dont even believe he raped those women..but he been on some bullshyt for a minute now...

Cosby is a pointing fingers ass hypocrite fam..and I dont even believe he raped those women..but he been on some bullshyt for a minute now...

so because he dropped out of college, he can't encourage other ppl to do better than he did?




see, this is the reason why we can't get anywhere

any time somebody tells us that we have to do better, and they try to hold us to a certain standard, we get mad at them

let's be real, breh

you say Cosby's a hypocrite cause he's telling other ppl to go to college, get good grades & so on when he himself was a college dropout

but how many black men are gonna be able to replicate what Cosby did?

how many black men are gonna be able to be dropouts and get rich and famous and garner millions of dollars?

that doesn't happen everyday

Cosby is the exception to the rule, and he knows that

which is why he was telling everybody else that they had to do better than he did... they couldn't afford (figuratively and literally) to follow in his footsteps

If that makes him a hypocrite, then I don't know what to tell you

I've been in situations with my younger brothers and I tell them, "look, don't do that, cause I already did that and it's not the right thing to do"

they can take it as "this dude's a hypocrite"

or they can take it as I'm a concerned older brother who doesn't want my younger brothers to make mistakes in their lives

nikka theres a difference from encouraging and being on some "holier than thou" shyt..giving no solutions aside from blaming us of the stereotypes...shytting on people who are tryna better themselves and being completely unempathetic about their situation...people follow people who they relate to..who they feel understands their plight..not people who point fingers and ridicule..pass judgement..and criticize..ESPECIALLY someone who was young and dumb at one point..and didnt fully get his shyt together academically until he was an adult...yea..he did some good for the image of black people..yea..he's legendary..and yea..he's a hypocritical a$$hole...

well I don't agree with you. Like I said, I wouldn't have said it quite the way he said it...

but breh, men talk to each other like that

sometimes men tell you things in a politically correct way, and then sometimes they just flat out tell you what's on their mind

Cosby is the type that's gonna tell you what's on his mind

You say he feels he's holier than thou and that he's not giving solutions


tell that to these colleges that he gave $25 million away to

I mean, breh, you wanna tear down Cosby but I promise you, your favorite black actor or actress, or favorite black singer or favorite black rapper ain't done even a fraction of what Cosby has done for our community

you can hate on his methods or whatever, but one thing you can't say is that he doesn't care

he's shown that he truly cares and that he puts his money literally where his mouth is

I know ppl that were starting from the bottom, trying to get their business off the ground, and they wrote Cosby to tell him what they were trying to do

he sent them a check in the mail

so breh, you dont' know what you're talking about. You don't know the work Cosby has put in, and until you go look it up, maybe you should hold your judgment

Bill Cosby has proven to me that he truly cares about our community and truly wants to help us

and I'm not about to throw him under the bus for a bunch of white women

sorry not gonna happen

Son..whatever money he gave..good for him...never said he never did anything..what I AM saying is he's an a$$hole hypocrite..he is..nikka aint speaking to an INDIVIDUAL..dude is speaking to GROUPS of black people who he doesnt know from a can of paint and dont know their struggles...that nikka think cause he's a successful celebrity he can pass judgement on hard working and oppressed people?...fukk outta here...nikka aint special g...he dropped outta high school..went to the military..dropped outta the military..went to college...dropped outta college...became an actor..got some degrees..some honorary at that..and now he's the authority over black people and how they should act and what they should do?..people who busted their ass and actually GRADUATED and went the extra mile without giving up?..who the fukk does he think he is?..he damn sure aint better than nobody..and it's ALL in the approach when u tryna get someone to listen..when ur tryna inspire..and when ur tryna make someone understand...I don't know how "men" talk around u..but NO MAN is gonna disrespect me especially without knowing what im about and what ive been thru...he's too busy thinking he's peoples fathers...he needs to worry about cleaning his own mess up...lemme ask u something?..how u think he would react to just a normal u or me who had these kinds of accusations that he's having right now?..do u think he would be empathetic or sympathetic?..or do u think he would just write us off?..givin his history..im more inclined to think he would do the latter....and write us off as ignorant black people who got ourselves in these situations...like I said before...I don't think raped all those women...but he damn sure doesn't need my defense..and he damn sure isn't above criticism...same way he criticizes everyone else..

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

he damn sure aint better than nobody..and it's ALL in the approach when u tryna get someone to listen..when ur tryna inspire..and when ur tryna make someone understand...I don't know how "men" talk around u..but NO MAN is gonna disrespect me especially without knowing what im about and what ive been thru...he's too busy thinking he's peoples fathers...

can you prove the bolded part?

I'm not being facetious

I'm really asking for proof

breh, you say it's all in the approach

see, black ppl, we want ppl to come to us and tell us how great and how good we are and sweet talk us and what not

we want ppl to tell us what we want to hear

and then when someone comes and tells us something that we don't want to hear, we get upset

give me one example of this inspiration that you're talking about.

give me an example of this "better approach" that you're talking about.

show me how that's helped black ppl as a whole

cause I'm looking out my door right now, breh, and this "inspiration" that you're talking about, ain't happening

and ppl come in front of large groups of black ppl all the time, speaking nice, with these wonderful speeches, these good words for us

and our condition has largely stayed the same

so obviously "trying to inspire us" isn't working

breh, I'm sick and tired of it

if you want to turn down people cause they didn't kiss your @$$, then you do that

I'm interested in hearing what ppl have to say

if someone can show me that they're having more success than I'm having in my life, and they're telling me that they can point out to me why I'm not having the same success

I'm willing to listen.

even if I don't agree with everything they say, I'm still willing to listen. and then i'll keep the gems and throw everything else away

it's nothing to get mad about

just like I have the right to my opinion, they have the right to theirs

The proof is in Malcolm..Martin..Huey and a bunch of other black people who have inspired without having that kind of attitude towards the people they were addressing...son u have ur opinion of Cosby..I have mine..and thats that...

 

[illadope]

being groped is not being "drugged and raped"




unless you're a fakkit, (which you probably are one), most men have been in situations where they may have tried to push up on a girl that wasn't feeling them like that

I've been there once or twice

you invite these broads to your place and they come over

and then be shocked that you in a one bedroom apt with no chairs, no couch and just a bed

what you think you was coming over for, woman?









but that doesn't make you a rapist

Did you rape them though?

alright, breh, well no love lost

like you said, you have the right to your opinion just like I have the right to mine

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

[illadope]

Now you see how Cosby feels.

i'm tired of hearing about bill cosby
