... is a hypocrite.

Here starts that "holier than thou" shit.....so frickin boring

 

[LadyTY2Uall]

I must be missing something.........

 

[5hummer]

Cosby thinks he's holier than thou -- family values, religious, tells Comics not to do dirty jokes, blah, blah ...

In reality, cheated on his wife, told dirty jokes in his career, reinforced black stereo types (e.g. Fat Albert) , etc., etc.

That said, as a "Comedian", he deserves accolades as a Comedian -- that's pretty much it.

Bill Cosby is on David Letterman Show right now....

 

[shane.katz]

He wasn't funny at all on Letterman. Who canceled anyways?

 

[WoodPeckr]

Don't know. Just saw him on Letterman but wasn't watching it.

I haven't seen Cosby live in many years, but when I did he was fantastic..... also, all the old recordings (chocolate cake for breakfast, noah...) are classics.

OTB

Bill Cosby still makes a lot of sense....

Hm, I was not aware of any of that,,,,,I just thought he was a helluva funny guy.

He did achieve his place in entertainment by sucking up a bit here and a bit there.

He doesn't need to anymore, but still, he does.

His speaking on what Black society in the US needs to do has been very frank and brave..... he's been attacked by the black community pretty harshly for it.

While others in the black community applaud him....
