That's a shame. Because it's people like Bill Cosby, people who tell it straight and have accomplished things in their lives with sheer determination, who should be "role models". Not athletes or artists, that have God given skills that not all of us are blessed with or even politicians, who's personal success is based on telling the voters exactly what we want to hear, even it will turn out to be a lie.

Athletes, artists and politicians are, most often, shooting stars, destined to fade into oblivion, almost as fast as they burst into light.
But men like Bill Cosby, who has succeeded as an scholar, athlete, actor, philanthropist and now is attempting to act as a mentor to an entire race, will shine on, brightly, throughout their lives.

In my lifetime, 62 years ago and born in the south, Blacks could NOTeven drink form any water fountain, use any restroom, eat where they wanted....unless it said "COLORED ONLY". And lynching was not uncommon.

Just think about the progress ALL of us have made, Now we have the first African American president....And he does not speak in Ebonics, wean his pants half way down his butt, or complain about his lot in life. He worked very hard, studied very hard and now is a REAL role model for today's youth, not like some of the spoiled football of basket ball "stars", some of whom are always in trouble with the law. Dr.Cosby does have a lot to say, but some choose not to hear what he has to say.

I do not agree with THEM. It is men, with intelligence and bravery, like Bill Cosby that will someday truly eliminate racism. Mr. Cosby should be considered a hero to the Black community. Someone to be listened to and heeded.
But, in my racist opinion, as long as the Black race continues to blame racism for all of the ills they encounter, they will never have the backbone to accomplish one half of what Bill Cosby has accomplished.
Being proud of your culture is an important thing. But, when your "culture" holds you back, i.e. "axe me, I'll tell you.", you need to shirk your cultural differences and move on and up.

Bill Cosby is a brilliant man. Mr Cosby grew up during Rosa Parks time. He knows waht racism is truly all about. Not today's complaints of "I can't get a taxi". He obtained a college degree when Blacks weren't often allowed that opportunity. He has enriched many people's lives throughout his career. He is a man all of us should look up to.

But, the African American community has actually condemned Mr. Cosby for belittling his race instead of standing behind them. Black leaders have said he doesn't respect their culture. After all, Cosby's complaint about speaking English, that is officially Ebonics, you know. Speaking that way is a part of the African American culture and it should be respected. In today's world the N word is used indiscriminately by African American's, while it is grounds for dismissal from employment, or worse, if a White uses it. Yet, that word itself, is a part of the White culture. It was created by White's. If you axe me I'll tell you, dat ain't fair.

'They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.
I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be...
And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.
And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.
In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.
People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.
The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.
$500 sneakers for what ? ?
And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.
Where were you when he was 2 ? ?
Where were you when he was 12 ? ?
Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol ? ?
And where is the father ? ? Or who is his father ?
People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something ?
Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up ?
Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?
What part of Africa did this come from??
We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap ... . .. . .and all of them are in jail.
Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem. We have got to take the neighborhood back.
People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' - or men or whatever you call them now.
We have millionaire football players who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any longer.'
Dr. William Henry 'Bill' Cosby, Jr., Ed.D.

I completely agree with you.
However, your first sentence makes no sense. If they get rid of Jami Floyd it will be entirely impossible to watch the Floyd In Session segment in the morning. Won't it?
