Bill Cosby----Who the fuck really cares what he thinks?! Seriously.

Now I have to rant. Besides having issues with the OP, him/herself, who posted the article on BC's thoughts on Obama's comment last night about Mr. Gates horrible situation, found here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8546290

I have to wonder why when Whites want to defend their position they bring up Bill or BC has something to say. This man is one of the guys who fits the role of a Ron Christie like guy...the kind of guy who's paid to diss Black people. When he talks about race it's always always always to disparage Blacks and/or marginalize Blacks. There is no understanding or seeming to care about the past issues we have faced and still face. The Civil Rights seemed lost on him from time to time and I'm wondering why people consider him so worth while.


I personally loved and appreciated Obama's comment. The man showed his ID with his address, at that point there's no arrest needed. That's the whole thing, if he does or says anything you need to apologize and move on. His ID was proof enough----every damned White Person on this site this happened too would have acted the same way if he yelled or not. Why, because they would say, "I'm in my home, I showed you proof." But I see idiots on this site defending the arrest...fuck that shit.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I was too young for the Civil Rights movement and as a First generation Haitian American I benefited for the struggles of my forefathers (Not Washington) in this nation. Ditto in Haiti, but we had been experiencing freedom in degrees for years. In any event, because I have reaped many of the benefits from the struggles of early Black Americans I am grateful. However, I am also fully aware that their struggle still lives on; despite a Black President I have seen more racism in a period of hours over one topic than I have in my full years on Earth. And living in New York City I have had my share of racism. The South is not exclusive to racism. When candidate Obama came on the scene I was given a crash course into the Civil Rights movement, post his election I'm given a crash course into segregation.

Obama will always be questioned on this and it's better he answers it rather than evade it. I saw nothing wrong in his response and basically everything points to the cops in the wrong anyway.

like he played it off. Simply saying that he would not have commented despite pressure from MSM, the number of versions of the story that he's heard and nobody was there to verify anything (which is what Obama said last night, too). I realize Cosby is the white man's favorite negro and I DID have a problem with him airing our communities dirty laundry for all the nation to hear. Don't get me wrong. His message was on point! It was the forum in which he chose to convey that message that I criticized.

That's all I have to say about Mr. Cosby's comments. Ugggh.

Something has happened to him. I think all of the accolades he got from white folks for making The Cosby Show did something to his perspective.

If the RW rabid racists are agreeing with you, you're doing something VERY WRONG! :banghead:

To borrow from Eddie Murphy, he should have a coke and a smile and STFU!

:rofl:

He's been on my shit list for awhile now.

to cover for their racism ... if he says something they agree with, they automatically point out that Bill Cosby agrees with them ... in their minds, if a famous black person agrees with them on a certain issue it validates their bigotry because they can tell themselves 'I'm not really a bigot because Bill Cosby agrees with me.'

I remember during the election the bigots were spreading around this OpEd that Bill Cosby supposedly wrote calling Rev Wright un-American and that Obama couldn't be trusted because of his association with Rev Wright. In their minds, it validated their hate because "Bill Cosby thinks like I do."

Well, when I read it, I knew Bill Cosby never wrote such a thing! It was so obvious that Bill Cosby would never write the nonsense that was being attributed to him, so I did some fact checking to prove once and for all Cosby didn't write that ridiculous OpEd and even after I proved to them those words did not come from Bill Cosby they still kept posting it, and probably still do!

of Cosby's insane rants to draw from. :eyes:

So glad you took the time to check it out, PT--good on you, and thank you! :thumbsup::hug:

the other 'cosby' issue for me:
female rape apologists, and/or women that post incredibly sexist comments. i don't mean being critical of a female, i mean the myraid of other comments where people make it clear, they have no respect or concern for women.
:grr: :mad: :banghead:

and favorite go-to guy for the racially insensitive :7

Here are the key plays:

Bill Cosby
Duke Lacrosse Players
OJ Simpson
