What do you think of Bill Cosby and what he has to say about the black community?

I agree with what he is saying, but my issue about Bill is that all his life he made a career out of comedy and acting silly/stupid which influenced black people to be the same way, but now that he's older he wants to turn around and be serious and play the role "what the hell happened?".

Also, it was HIS GENERATION that dropped the F***** ball!

All those worthless black babyboomers who had sired kids all over the place and abandoned their kids (unlike ASIANS or EUROPEANS), partied til 40 years old out in the streets, and got involved with drugs (don't give a F*** where it came from!) and alcohol left no businesses for their kids, no capital, no property and no resources to develop anything.

In other words, as a gen Xer it's not my F**** fault that the black communities are all F*** up. It's the fault of the babyboomers so Bill can go pound sand!!!!

Cosby got really grumpy after his son was killed by some thugs.

Cosby's right, I'm sick of hearing "you know what I'm saying?"

First, try to get out of the habit of using the misnomer of black community. Black America is a population comprised of various communities that are often very different due to class, region, culture, etc. To consider us a community is a farse that tends to understate the differences between us.

Pertaining to Cosby, he is generally on the mark although sometimes he is too easy on folks for fear of whipping up too strong a backlash. Black Americans tend to hate the truth being told about them.

You are very right. I meant to say Black America instead of the "black community".
