A COMEDIAN SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN A ROLE MODEL FOR OUR PEOPLE ANYWAY. No other ethnic group I am aware of uses comedians and talk show hosts (Oprah) as role models. Have we forgotten about Malcolm X, Medgar Evers etc.? We didn’t want to believe Michael Jackson molested kids. We didn’t want to believe Eddie Long of New Birth was a homosexual predator, but I read the transcripts and the police reports. We wanted James Brown out of prison even though he beat his wife. Popularity should never be a free pass. I believe Bill Cosby is guilty of many of the accusations. I also believe some of the women were whore-like opportunists back then who simply did not get what they wanted.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR BELIEFS HAVE BALANCE

I believed most of what Bill Cosby said when he addressed the problems within black communities. He could/should give those speeches more often b/c not many black leaders/role models visit black schools.

There’s one thing I’m gonna disagree with about what Bill Cosby said: “Emulate the Black Panthers.” He said some other things about them but I can’t remember. There’s no way on God’s green earth should black children imitate these militants. Anybody w/ good sense wouldn’t go 5-10 feet within them. Especially children. Even Bill Cosby should know that.

THE people that love us will tell us what we need to hear instead of what we want to hear; I don’t agree with everything he say’s ; but I understand it’s from his heart; so just as a grandparent or any elder speak’s we should listen with respect!

Great article. Bill Cosby is absolutely right. It’s time to stop blaming racism, it’s Us that keep us down. Entertainers, pro athletes can’t hold on to wealth, wealthy black people don’t build foundations, Gangster Rap has polluted our kids minds, therefore we are in a perpetual downfall with really No hope in sight for the foreseeable future.
