Bill Cosby is at it again - talking to the black community about family. This time, however, the comedian managed to avoid the “scolding” tone that angered black leaders in the past.
According to the AP, Cosby was in Baltimore recently - urging parents to keep their children close. “Your children got no business going to the street for love. There’s no love out there,” Cosby told the crowd during a city-organized block party. “All that’s out there is lost young men looking for love.”
Cosby told the Baltimore audience to empower themselves by pursuing educational opportunities that lead to well-paying jobs. The legendary entertainer and advocate for education addressed a few hundred people Thursday in the struggling Park Heights neighborhood, according to reports.
Cosby was joined by Carolane Williams, president of Baltimore City Community College. The two promoted community college as a viable path away from poverty and crime. The comedian’s remarks were reportedly positive and free from admonishment, and the message was supported by Sly and the Family Stone song “You Can Make It if You Try.”
The even was organized to promote Operation PROTECT, a city program in which disadvantaged neighborhoods are flooded for a period of several weeks with city services and increased police patrols. Mayor Sheila Dixon said the purpose of the program is to familiarize residents with the many services available to them. But, she said, taking advantage of those services is a matter of “personal responsibility.”
I GOT SOEMTHIN TO SAY ABOUT DEADBET PARENTS!!
you suck dad!! lol
Eh Yo Prince….all that cuz u first nigga?
He ain’t lying…..
@ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE
I’m thinkin’ maybe Bill was talking ’bout yo ass in this speech….you need a hug or sumthin?
Why does Bossip have quotation marks around enlightenment? Do they prefer that black people get their moral compass from the numerous ass shots and trifling rapper stories on this site?
YOU TELL ‘EM BILL!!!
ALOT OF BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THIS!
ESPECIALLY OUR YOUTH.
ALL THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED BUT ITS GONNA TAKE EFFORT ON THE PART OF THOSE WHO NEED IT AND THOSE WHO CAN GIVE IT!!!
@Lauren, thanks for the copy & paste.
Bill needs a megaphone everytime he speaks. He does nothing but tell it how it should be and lazy ass Black folk get all aggy. Straight up, if even half of the community would seriously listen to Bill and put some of these obvious practices into play, a lot of stuff would change…
Lol @ Doagae
…
But anyway when is this man going to stop spouting empty platitudes and attempting to pass them off as amazing innovative ideas. You mean people shouldn’t go out on “the streets” (whatever that means, and wherever that is) “looking for love” (whatever that means, and whatever that is). NO! Revelation of the century.
And we should all go to college… wait a minute Bill where did you go to college? Oh that’s right your empty rhetoric only applies to those of us who haven’t made a fortune shucking and jiving for white people. My mistake.
DON’T FEAR THE TRUTH
JUST HEAR THE TRUTH
Good job Bill. Baltimore needs it.
Hey TJ. You sound awefully ignorant considering Cosby has his BA from Temple and MA from UMASS.
Maybe you’re defensive because you’re one of the ignorant trash that Cosby is trying to extricate from the Black Community.
Bill’s “shucking and jiving” has paid for the education of literally hundreds of black youth. So until you actually accomplish something in your life besides running your ignorant mouth on a website, STFU about Mr. Cosby.
FOOL!
Dear Common Sense
Extricate is not a word.
And for your information I have two ivy league degrees.
Personal credentials aside I never said what he was saying was incorrect. I merely questioned his motivations, tactics, and delusions of grandeur.

He is wise.

Thank you Truff. Extricate not a word…lol
And if TJ has two Ivy League degrees, then I am going to light mine on fire, cause clearly they’re now letting any buffoon in.
You my friend just made a bigger arse of yourself. Care to make any further foolish and incorrect statement? The world is flat? C-A-T spells dog?
Think before posting son.
also @ tj
HOWS THIS FOR EDUCATION, MOTIVATION, & TACTICS???
Bill Cosby has been a crusader throughout
his career for a better world and for better understanding between people. Besides his
involvement with a host of charity organizations, Cosby is also an active trustee of his
alma mater, Temple University of Philadelphia. As philanthropists, Bill and Camille
Cosby have made substantial gifts in support of education (most notably to
predominantly African American colleges and universities) and to various social service
and civil rights organizations.
In addition, Cosby earned a Masters Degree in Education (M. Ed.) in 1972 and his
Doctorate in Education (Ed. D.) in 1977 from the University of Massachusetts.
SEEMS YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS DELUSIONAL…
BILL COSBY LOOK LIKE AN OLDER DARKER JAY-Z. ANYHOW HE CANT TALK CUZ I WENT TO CAU AND I DONE PUFFED TREES W/HIS OFFSPRING. RUDY TOO.
What’s the problem BOSSIP? Cos has been an advocate for education & self-improvement since before there was even an internet.The fact that he does’nt sugar coat it to your liking speaks volumes about the lame brains in your “editorial” department.
@ Da Truff Hurtz!!!
@TJ almost made me question my own dang intelligence and have to break out a dictionary, thesaurus and do a spell check on them both! Ivy League doesn’t alway equal intelligence or the common sense of breaking out one of the aforementioned tools to look up a simple word before you try and blast someone about it. Hell, you’re on the internet! How easy is it to put that in your search bar and get the info even quicker? OOPS!
@ ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE
YOU CAN BE THE FIRST, WORST, & LAST NIGGA ON EARTH!!!
THAT’S ALL YOU KID.., YOU WILL GET NOT COMPETITION FROM ME!!!
I’M TOO BUSY BEING A GOOD BLACK MAN!!!
@TJ:
Feel free to pick up a dictionary every now and then.
See about a weave with bangs to cover that FIVE HEAD too.
@ COMMON SENSE
YOUR NAME SAYS IT ALL!!!
@ TAZ
SHO YOU RIGHT!!
————————————-
I DOUBT TJ WILL BE BACK..,
SHE’S ONE OF THOSE DRIVE BY POSTERS THAT DROPS A SMELLY PILE OF SHIT ON YOUR DOORSTEP…
THEN RINGS YOUR BELL, RUNS & HIDES!!!
TO ALL THE HATERS OF WHAT’S GOOD & RIGHT…
IF YOU GONNA TALK MESS.., STAY A DEFEND YOU POINT!!!
COWARDS
WHY DO THE MOST LIGHTSKINNED BROS. BE SO PROUD TO BE BLACK. LIKE U CANT JUST BE BLACK U HAVE TO BEEE BLACK
@ Dr. Funk, I agree with you 100%. I think Black fathers should take more responsibility in raising their kids. Too many of our youths are dropping out of school and getting involved in the street/street activities. Cosby was right the first time and now that Obama has done the same, Bossip is dick riding!!! Bossip, you guys are so fucking fake!!!
I love Bill Cosby and the only reason why people have a problem with him is because he speaks the truth and to many the truth hurts..so my advice to yall who are just not getting it, wake up and get real quick!
The problem people have with Mr. Cosby is that he calls out the faults of the black community without also blaming whitey. You can’t say that Black children are born out of wedlock without saying that institutional racsim is the cause. You can’t say there are too many black men in jail without saying that white racism is the cause. But please tell me, WHERE DOES THAT GET US?
It’s like we can’t take criticism without that nice spoon full of “remember, it’s whitey’s fault that we’re in this position” to help it go down.
What Mr. Cosby realizes (and what many of you need to grasp) is that Whitey has washed his hands of us. We can “explain” and “make excuses” for how unfair things have been, but that doesn’t change shit. Only WE can change our destiny. That starts at home,
and Whitey has no part to play in it.
I never heard anyone get out of poverty by blaming whitey, but I’ve seen some amazing brothers and sisters get out by taking responsibility and pride in themselves as Black men and women.
LOL @ T.J. And I love the fact that common sense called her son afterward. Intelligent but can still get hood.
@ TRUFF
Back at you fam.
And yeah, tj is suddenly very silent.
@ glok9n
HE ACTUALLY IS TAKING CARE OF HIS OUT OF WEDLOCK CHILD.
HE HAS ADMITTED TO HIS BAD CHOICES, AND HAS ALWAYS PROVIDED FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR HER.
THE WHOLE BAD CHOICE CAME TO LIGHT ONLY BECAUSE THE MOTHER WAS PISSED AT BILL FOR NOT COMMING UP OFF MORE “HUSH MONEY” NOT CHILD SUPPORT.
ALTHOUGH HE IS NOT IN THE GIRLS DAILY LIFE, SHE DOES HAVE A GOOD LIFE AND HAS ALWAYS KNOWN WHO HER FATHER WAS.

Why does Bossip have quotation marks around enlightenment? Do they prefer that black people get their moral compass from the numerous ass shots and trifling rapper stories on this site?
================================================================
I NOTICED THAT TOO! Like it’s not possible, so let’s put it in quotes.
I respect Bill for still putting in work.
Damn, why is it that we as blacks clown everybody who takes a stand or voices thier concern over a topic??
Bill is an icon not only in television but in the Black community. He speaks the truth to our plight even if it’s an “oldman” sort of way. Reminds me of my grandfather, he goes off but his his heart and intentions are in the right place.
@ glok9n(Check me out!)
FUK BILL COSBY! NIGGR TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN OUTTA WEDLOCK KIDZ MUH -FUKKA! FUK FAT ALBERT TOO!

LMAO
:-O
It is my interputation that if the same comments that Mr. Cosby made, would have been made by Weezy, Jezzy,and anyone who graces the set of 106 and Park no harm no foul. Malcolm, Martin and Fannie would be proud?
What’s up with that Bossip? Now you’re not gonna post my comments when I put in all that time and effort. I can’t remember what all knowledge and wisdom jewels I just dropped. I went slap off and you fools didn’t post it. That’s that bull****!!!! OK, I see how you wanna be!!!
Hmmm… let’s c the videotape:
Nas - Has a news conference in front of Faux news. Discusses his grievance by cussing every third word and standing there with his pants sagging off.
Celebrated for “calling it like he sees it,” “keepin’ it real,” and “telling the truth.”
Bill Cosby, whose personal and financial commitment 2 the betterment of black people r WELL documented, goes in front of black audiences and “calls it like he sees it,” “keeps it real,” and “tells the truth”.
VILIFIED 4 doing the same?
Chris Rock was right… AA’s r in civil war.
Black people wake up!!!
Everything Bill Cosby says is absolutely correct! Everything starts with FAMILY AND EDUCATION. If you have dumbass parents, you will have dumbass kids. If there is no strong family structure with two parent homes. meaning a father and a mother with education and family values, the youth will be SCREWED!!

Copy and paste has to be your best friend with this site. I’ve typed some BEAUTIFUL pearls of wisdom on political posts, and nothing saves onto the site.
@DA TRUTH HURTZ! HOW MUCH DO THESE CELEBS PAY YOUR SELF RIGHTEOUS AZZ!?? I SEE ONE OF YOUR CLIENTZ LOL! MZ BASSETT IF YOUR NASTY! BLACK MAN?
this is why I could never support reparations. As soon as white folks hand over those checks, they’re going to hang a big “Closed” sign on the complaint window. Then who are we going to blame?
Personally, I blame W.E.B.DuBois for pushing a neurotic assimiliation agenda over Booker T. Washington’s less glamorous self-reliance program. DuBois’s way conditioned us to look for our reflection in white people’s opinions of us. It also left us unable to tolerate much self-criticism much less practice it. And we’ve have had an unhealthy obsession with being “included” (read with white people)for generations now. As though we had very little actual selfhood to stand on that wasn’t conditioned by or dependent on our relation to white folks.
Maybe that’s why the race police (Jesse, Al Sharpton, Michael Dyson) are so quick to denounce the Cosbys and others out of hand: they’re very easily embarrassed, not by what we do, but by any dent in the shell of appearances they’ve made for respectability among white folks.
They must be forgetting that it’s only recently that white people have gotten too polite to tell us exactly what Cosby’s trying to tell us.
I guess at this point, everybody’s just waiting in polite silence for us to just die off already. Society’s probably gotten as many beats and slam dunks as it’s going to get out of us. Beyond that, we seem irredeemable.
@ Way 2 Grown
DO I NEED TO REGULATE, ONCE AGAIN???
JUS LEMME KNO…
When there are “folk” that think CONVERSATE is a word, I’m not shocked when someone thinks that “EXTRICATE” isn’t. We’re such a comical people.
Bill, keep preaching because we need it!
Anyone who types in all caps and MISSPELLS ON PURPOSE IN HIS POSTS is a donkey and should be ignored.
glok9n, I order you to go back and get your Junior high diploma before you posts again here. You embarrass our people and reinforce all the negative stereotypes about us. You know what’s worse than an idiot? An idiot who embraces being an ignoramus.
Let me put it in words you might understand:
YOU UNDERSTANDZ THAT YO! U NEEDZ TO GET YO LERNIN ON FURZT B4 U PUT UP MO IGNANT POSTZ
Oh, @Taz and WhatsYours,
I feel your pain fam, always copy before you hit submit. Bossip has a penchant for deleting posts that make sense and “enlighten.”
@ lauren
I got lonely in here, it lead me 2 an unsavory place, i need boundaries
@ Dogae
I wouldn’t mind a hug
@ Da truff
Nigga please
Bill cosby talkin about parenting. Nigga wasn’t too on the ball when his son got killed. Where was u at bill? your son was tryin 2 score smack and got his ass shot, where was you William?
@Scooby Dubious
PREACH FAMILY!!! PREACH ON.
You got a fan here. That right there people is called dropping knowledge.
@ glok9n
I GET PAID… ENOUGH!!!
AND YES I DO TRY HARD TO CONDUCT MY(SELF-RIGHT).
GLAD YOU DID’NT SAY I WAS PERFECT, CAUSE I’M FAR FROM IT…
OH BTW: ANGIE SAYS “HI”!!!
REGULATE? AGAIN? WHA? WHY DOES A HIT DOG HOLLER? I USED NO NAMES HERE. JUST SPEKING GENERALLY. U KNOW LIKE THE GUY FROM THE BLACK PANTHERS.
@ Common Sense
Anyone who types in all caps and MISSPELLS ON PURPOSE IN HIS POSTS is a donkey and should be ignored.
———————————————-
DAMN.., & I THOUGHT WE WUZ COOL!!! LOL!!
@ ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE
Was that necessary? What does Bill’s message about AA bettering themselves have to do w/ his son? Does Bill’s family life take away from the message that he’s preaching? Does it somehow make it less valid?\
I mean I’m really trying to understand this ignorant mindset. It’s almost as if the messenger has to be perfect in every aspect before most AA’s will listen to the message. Unreal.
I personally think that Bill should keep on preachin because there are far too many ignorant people running rampant.
@ Commonsense
Puhhllleeezzzze preach!
@Illumnati-
Parents aren’t responsible for the decisions their children make as adults. BUT I do know people that went to Morehouse with Cosby’s son, and they said he was very rebellious. So, I think a lot of where his talk comes from his own hurt from his son’s waywardness/death.
But I do think he can come off like a hypocrite. When he was saying men need to get it together so black women will have someone to date, I was so mad about that graduation speech. I was like, you’re not together, you just have money. If you didn’t have money, you’d be a regular bum like the ones you’re discussing. Sticking your d!ck in anything just to get off when you have a wife at home, that’s just as bad as being a deadbeat, or unemployed man.
ha ha……My bad. No disrespect fam…….The fact that your posts sound thoughtful and intelligent makes me overlook it.
THAT, or I was too busy peepin the sweet chocolate to the left of you……
Well this is the point. Now Bill Cosby is finally listening and now MAYBE THE COMMUNITY WILL LISTEN NOW THAT HE ISN’T BEING A JERK ABOUT IT. See you will always catch more flies with honey….you can’t expect people to hear you out when you are coming off as a hypocritical attacker pointing the finger (like when you dumb a$$ dropped out of college on your FIRST try).
I guess the heat got to hot for TJ. He has “extricated” himself from the conversation. lol
@ ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE
NIGGA YOU ARE RIGHT!!!
IMA GONNA TAKE YO SIDE ON THIS!!!
BILL COSBY NOR ANYBODY ELSE WHO IS NOT PERFECT..,
IS ALLOWED TO GIVE BLACK PEOPLE ADVICE ON HOW TO IMPROVE THEY LIFE!!!
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD…
UNLESS YOU ARE PERFECT…
YOU CANNOT TRY TO HELP BLACK PEOPLE!!!
OH! LIFE IS SO SIMPLE NOW…….
@ Way 2 Grown
OK… I’LL FALL BACK!
PS: “LET SLEEPING DOGS LAY”
*glok9n* you are a prime target for indivduals like Bill O’Reily and his cohorts to justify cases like Bro. Sean Bell. Johnnie can save your he ran out time. My prayer is that you obtain a ferocious appetite for knowlege, perferable W.E.B, but in your case Booker would suffice. Wait one better “MASTER P” his book is an adventurous there is hope, anybody can change.**make em um say ummmm**
@ Common Sense
LOL!!! Alls Good!
I Am Gonna Go Easy On The Caps In Future Tho…
BUT NOT TOO EASY!!!

That’s what I’m talking about! Nobody wants to hear that type of message from a dude going thru messy child dna case his own damn self….or someone going thru date rape case…or someone who got a HONORARY degree but didn’t actually put in the class hours to get it. He can bring the message without sounding holier than thou when all of HIS mistakes and shortcoming have played out in the public eye.
DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!(Check me out!)
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD…
UNLESS YOU ARE PERFECT…
YOU CANNOT TRY TO HELP BLACK PEOPLE!!!

That being said..would it be okay if a man in jail for murder gave Bill Cosby the advice of keeping his d!ck in his pants? How do you think Ol’ pudding pop would take that advice? It is all about delivery people. If he had said, look my son was killed during a drug transaction gone bad..I know how these things play out, no one wins. Try to turn your life around so you don’t wind up like my son. THAT WOULD BE HELPING. Not going to a GRADUATION for Black kids doing well and making your commencement speech about how rotten Blacks are INSTEAD OF PRAISING THEM FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING.
OH! LIFE IS SO SIMPLE NOW…….
Bossip got their hater-blockers on like Creepa on From G’s to Gents! I tried copying and pasting and everything! That’s some more of that bull Bossip! I hate you ignorant bastards!! Choke on it!
“That being said..would it be okay if a man in jail for murder gave Bill Cosby the advice of keeping his d!ck in his pants? How do you think Ol’ pudding pop would take that advice? It is all about delivery people.”
Well- its my opinion that black people have ben talked to “nicely” long enough.. For everyone’s “nice” speaking - the black community has been in a constant downslide.. When whitey tries to talk nice, he’s being racist.. When the black man tries to talk nice, he thinks he’s better than. When the black woman tries to talk nice, she’s nagging.. Some element of our race would get pissed even if Bill did say it nicely.. All some elements of our race understand is destruction - and thye need to be spoken to and dealt with accordingly..
So lemme sound this out: Black male. please take care of your kids.. Black male, please stop killing yourown deadin the streets. Black male, please get an education.. I mean - really??
I mean c’mon now - how nicely do you have to ask a man to take care of the life he creates instead of looking for others to blame for him abandoning his children…
@ realwoman
YOU ARE RIGHT TOO!!! JUST LIKE ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE!
Only perfect people should be allowed to help others!
I like this world you live in…
Nobody is able to help me and I don’t have the ability to help anybody!!!
PERFECT!!!!!!!
“Well this is the point. Now Bill Cosby is finally listening and now MAYBE THE COMMUNITY WILL LISTEN NOW THAT HE ISN’T BEING A JERK ABOUT IT.

Sometimes a person who has been there is the best person to speak on it.. In the exact reverse of what your saying about hypocrasy - who best to bed the councelor to an addict but a recovering addict?? Sometimes the experiences one experiences in life makes them the perfect advocate..
Angel_Minded
I mean I’m really trying to understand this ignorant mindset. It’s almost as if the messenger has to be perfect in every aspect before most AA’s will listen to the message. Unreal.
__________________________________________________
U know what’s really ironic about the whole thing?
That only seems 2 b applicable unless the person in question is, say, Tupac.
Last I checked, he served jail time 4 rape, no? But his proponents insist that people listen 2 his “message”. “Only god can judge”, they say. “Don’t hate the messenger…” “He who is without guilt…”
Suddenly when Cosby speaks, he had better b squeaky clean in HIS personal life? WTF?
“Only perfect people should be allowed to help others!”
So according to this theory - if you have a group of young black males on a bad criminalistic path that could ruin their lives and its your job to get a speaker to speak to them in a assembley one day - are you gonna get someone “perfect” or are you gonna get someone who has been there, on that same path, but turned it all around?? Who do you think those boys are gonna listen to - theone with the experience or the person who knows nothing abouttheir experiences and has never walked a day in their shoes??!?!?!
@Da Truff Hurtz-
I think if he came at from a “learn from me/take it from me” point of view, it would be different.
He comes off like the dirty old preacher talking about sins and redemption, with his wife watching from the front row, mistress in the choir watching the wife, and mistress in the mission circle watching the mistress in the choir. All this sin floating around you, and you want to redeem yourself with words, and not actions.
They’ll preach it and teach it, but will they actually live it?
@COMMON SENSE !!! FUK OFF MY NUT SAK FAGGIT YOU STILL MAKE NO SENSE BYTCH NIGGA! MUAH …FOR ACTING LIKE A MAD ANGRY BLK WOMAN HOE NIGGA …CHANGE THAT TAMPON I CAN ALMOST SMELL YOUR PERIOD!
“Suddenly when Cosby speaks, he had better b squeaky clean in HIS personal life? WTF?”
And thats the problem with blacks now.. When you will get your advice from an uneducated rapper before you will an Ivy League graduate who both havesomething to say about experiences of the black man something is terribly wrong..
DA TRUTH HURTZ! YOU KNOW YOU MY BRO …IM JUST FUKKIN WITH YOU! TELL MS BASSETT I SAID….. HEY MA!
@ HF
LOL, You are speaking the truth, as sad as it is. I can’t believe how many people would rather hate on Bill Cosby and hold gangsta rappers up as role models.
“They’ll preach it and teach it, but will they actually live it?”
Bill Cosby could walk away and say nothing as so many black males in a position to he heard do… ALot of black males, once they are in a position of power, are so busy sucking out of whiteys ass that the ast thing on their mind is bettering their own in any way..
I give Bill an A+ for effort.. I say effort cause its not like he reached anyone who he needs to. If you agree with being scum then your gonna be scum regardless of how much Bill preaches.. I truly believe the only people who get mad at him are the ones who are perfectly content sitting around blaming everyone for their own self inflicted shit - and don’t want to hear anyone telling them that’s not gonna work anymore…
SMDH@ AN IVY LEAGUE OL BASTARD THAT DRUGZ HIS YOUNG VITIMZ AND MOLEST THEM …..THAT IVY LEAGUE NIGGA ….IM SURPRISED YOUR TAKING UP FOR THIS OL SWAMP APE LIKE YOU CALLEM!
@ realwoman
DID’NT SEE YOUR LAST POST…
——————————————
SO, why not say THAT in the first place instead of bashing Bill like he was a bum off the street???
You point out Anything & Everything negative about the man.., without acknowledging there is ACTUALLY A PROBLEM he is addressing in the Black Community!!!
If a PIMP is on the news & says Black Men need to LOVE, SUPPORT, & RESPECT thier Daughters..,
I GONNA SAY… “HE RIGHT!”, “HE AIN’T LYIN’!!!”
NOT “OH HE A PIMP, HE DON’T KNOW SHIT.”
“SMDH@ AN IVY LEAGUE OL BASTARD THAT DRUGZ HIS YOUNG VITIMZ AND MOLEST THEM …..THAT IVY LEAGUE NIGGA ….IM SURPRISED YOUR TAKING UP FOR THIS OL SWAMP APE LIKE YOU CALLEM!”
I stick up for him cause I believe he is a good man who has done very good for his community and he has a good, positive message to pass on..
I could care less what he does in his private life especially where none of those allegations were even proven true or even close to it.. Alteast he dealt with it instead of saying its cause he’s black..
And all the man is saying is for blacks, namely the black father, to get themselves together.. He’s not writing a book or anything…
You all will liten to rappers with blood and violence on their hands and who, as a group, play a huge role in the destruction of our race today..
What’s the issue with listening to Bill?!!?!
“You point out Anything & Everything negative about the man.., without acknowledging there is ACTUALLY A PROBLEM he is addressing in the Black Community!!!”
AMEN!! This is all I’m saying.. Why are people acting like this man made up a lie and started harassing innocent blacks over it?!?!? Damn, noone can give the failed black person any advice. They always have an alterior motive.. YEAH RIGHT!! And in the mean time our kids just continue to fail…
I often wonder what type of parents people who get pissed at Bill are or what type of parents they had…
*****************************************************
I don’t care to hear anything Bill “Uncle Ruckus” Cosby has to say.
******************************************************
Some people on here are just straight ignorant to the point where I wish I could see your stupid a$$ behind your comments….dayum shame. Bill Cosby keeps it REAL. I just had a conversation with a friend about how black people are always trying to blame someone else for our phuck ups….OOOH, we have cheating men and broken families because of slavery, our men can’t get ahead because of the white man….COME ON ALREADY. IT’S NO ONE FAULT BUT YOURS. Some of us have a B.S, MBA, Law Degree, are lawyers, doctors, teachers, writers, or a combination of them. Some of US CAME FROM THAT SAME HOOD AND MADE IT OUT. It’s a personal choice people. Tired of lazy ass black people pointing fingers! then want to be mad when someone makes it talking about “He making all that money and ain’t giving back to the hood” ….Get your monkey ass a JOB! Geesh!!!
EXTRICATE IS NOT A WORD - ahahahahahahah
@ SMDH
I WROTE THAT IN SARCASM….
We all know nobody is perfect, all people have problems, make mistakes & bad choices…
IT’S CALLED BEING HUMAN!
Anyway we both see pretty much eye-2-eye on this one…
As far as the at-risk group is concerned.., YES! A person who had been on the wrong path and got off to have a better life would be a great source of help.
BUT! THE MORE HELP, THE BETTER!!!
People need to hear it from all sides to gain perspective & insight as to what thier lives may hold!!!

I never knew that if a person wanted to help at risk kids and families that they had to have a criminal record or “black card” in order to “help” the community…this has got to be the most ignorant mindset that I have EVER heard of!
As long as the man’s intentions are good, WTF difference does it make how his child turned out? This is like the most illogical backward@ss logic EVER!
NOBODY IZ GIVING THESE RAPPER NO LOVE , CUZ THESE BASTARDS ARE DUMB AS FUKKING JUNGLE BUNNIES COONING ….RAPPERS LIKE DEAD PREZ,KRS,X CLAN,AND A HOST OF OTHERS!
@SMDH-
I’m not saying he has to be perfect for us to listen to him. No person is perfect. I’m not saying I don’t APPRECIATE what he’s trying to do. This last speech was better than some of his previous efforts.
As I stated in an earlier post, I think he speaks out on these things because of pain he’s gone through. He can just come at people a better way. Not everyone wants to hear this from anyone who’s willing to say it. Obama’s speech was okay, I didn’t want to hear it from him, BUT I had to remember he’s spoken like that before, and he speaks, and will say, that he’s doing it from his past and what he went through.
Cosby can be a leader in our community, a beacon for the COMMUNITY, but some people will never get over his personal demons to speak about raising children.
Just like Jon Voight’s op-ed piece against Obama. If you go to Huffington Post or any other political blog that posted it, people were BLASTING his background on family. He didn’t raise his kids, much like McCain, he abandoned his first wife and first set of kids. Jon Voight can speak out on fair pay in Hollywood, artist’s rights, etc. But no one wants to hear family talk from people who “appear” to not respect family.
This speech was better for Cosby. And you have to admit, if you saw tapes of his previous speeches, he seemed like a crazy old man. Not an enthusiastic preacher, concerned grandad, anything like that. He seemed like he was going to FIGHT someone in the audience.
THOSE RAPPERS I LISTEN TO! THEM BROTHERS BE KICKING THE TRUTH! THE ONES I JUST NAMED! BILL THE MOLESTER COSBY LIKE TO GIVE THE WHITE MAN AMMO TO ATTTACK BLK MEN ! THAT BITTER OL BASTARD GET NO LOVE …TALK TO YOUR PPL BILL BUT DONT YALL AT THEM IN FRONT OF OUR OPPRESSORS!
Coop,
What about Tupac and the rest of the Gangsta rap clan?
U think we should ignore what Bill is saying while we “extricate” the deep messages of Thugnificent and Gangstalicious?
WhatsYoursIsMine(Check me out!)
Who do you wanna hear it from?
BILL IZ SUFFERING FROM A DEMENTIA AND ITZ EATING HIS AZZ ALIVE AND HE TEAM UP WITH THAT TOM NIGGA DR.POSSAINT WHO IS USING HIM TO PROFIT OFF THE SALES OF BLK MEN … PROPAGANDA!
@ Coop
We are discussing when he is right. U know, instead of dismissing the message which obviously needs to be addressed.
OR we could make fun of his appearance….
ITZ ALL ABOUT MAKING MONEY OFF OF OUR PPL! AND BILL KNOWS HE CREATED AN ATMOSPHERE OF IGNORANCE WITH HIS CARTOONZ FOR COONZ …FAT ALBERT!…. I WILL NEVER FOR GIVE THIS HYPOCRITE!
@AYANA
The man talks blacks going to jail and bashes them and their parent, when he is a rapist was able to get away with what he has done because of his money.
The man has never spoken up for poor blacks. And in the past when he was ask he would say “I don’t talk about those subjects”
He only speaks about blacks on shows that are mainly watched by Whites and economically elite audiences. And in turn people like Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh us his self hating views to support their views.
***People wake up this man is causing more harm then good.***
@ Coop
YOU LEFT SOME GOOD PEOPLE OFF YOUR LIST!!!

Also.., I would rather listen to somebody who is ONLY RIGHT SOMETIMES…
Instead of someone who is WRONG ALL THE TIME!!!
I’m new to this site….which I’m lovin! But what is everybody’s prob with LiveSteez? Sorry, I just don’t get it.
COOP! YOUR A SMART BROTHA! YOU CAN SEE IN THE SLAVE HOUSE LIKE MYSELF, WHILE THESE HOUSE NIGGAZ ARE STARING OUT ! IM A FIELD NIGGR!
I mean, heck…
While we’re downing Bill Cosby 4 not practicing what he preaches, or not being real, then let’s also shut off Rick Ross and the rest of these fake-@$$ studio “gangstas”.
It’s amazing how folks have “selective” criteria 4 who can speak on black issues and who can’t.
Da Truff babes..where you been? Who doesn’t know there is a problem. Is it not on the news? YES…is it not in the paper? YES. Is it not in numerous books? YES. Is it not staring you right in your face when you go home, visit your parents, pick up your kid from school? YES YES YES. My thing is when are we going to start preaching it in a positive way instead of a condescending way ESPECIALLY if the person preaching is doing some of the same things?
All I did was what Bill did but I did it to him. Why is it bad when we point out his nasty ways but not bad when he points out the nasty ways of others? We run to talk about messy Jesse and permed up Al but all of a sudden the COS gets a pass? WHY?
WHY DO YOU ASSUME WE LOVE RAPPERS, AND THEY CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR OUR CAUSE …FUK A RAPPER MAN! WE DONT LOOK TO RAPPERS TO PLEAD OUR CAUSE ARE YOU THAT STUPID TO THINK A RAPPER IZ THE NEXT BEST THING TO BILL?.. GET THE FUK OUTTA HERE!
The few times he is right are greatly out weighed by his wrongs.
WE HAVE BLKS THAT KNOW SOLVING OUR PROBLEM DOES NOT TAKE A WHITE AUDIENCE APPROVAL! YOU NIGGAZ ALWAYS NEED WHITEY TO COSIGN ..FUK BILL COSBY FUKKING RAPIST, DEAD BEAT DAD!
Seriously..who over the age of 17 is taking advice from rappers? Are you kidding me? It’s kinda like what came first..the chicken or the egg. We HAD THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE RAPPERS CAME ALONG REMEMBER PEOPLE? They been rapping about everything from racism to unity to sneakers to coochie to skateboards to guns to drugs to boogers. Not all rap is bad and most of it isn’t even advice. Even I know this and I haven’t bought a rap CD in eons.
Also if you don’t think anyone should take advice from rappers..then why oh why should advice be taken from college drop out comedians who wore booty huggers in the seventies?
How bout this…YOU take the Cos’ advice and don’t worry your little head about who else doesn’t. Make sure to strap it up while you are stroking your drugged wrankly white women who will accuse you of molestation and fathering an illegitimate baby. lol
glok9n
ARE YOU THAT STUPID TO THINK A RAPPER IZ THE NEXT BEST THING TO BILL?..
_______________________________________________
If u r refering 2 me: No… thank god!
I am refering 2 how some folks know how 2 “overlook” people’s personal shortcomings and find their message… when the message seems 2 b 1 of victimhood or placing blame elsewhere. Yet, when someone says 2 take a HARD look in the mirror… if they’re not Mother Teresa, they get shouted down. That’s all I’m saying.
If that doesn’t apply 2 u, then as u were…
@HF
There is difference the size of the universe. The rappers are not acting as if they are better ethically then the people that are at a lower financial level then them
Maybe you need to work on your criteria
@ Coop
Bill’s wrongs in his personal life outweigh the social ills that are destroying the black community?
What scale are you using? LOL

Seriously..who over the age of 17 is taking advice from rappers?

But he’s damning the personal life of others.
glok9n:
Son, what did I tell you. Go back and GET YOU SOME EDUMACATION. You still sound like an ignorant buffoon. No one here takes you seriously. You see how many people are agreeing with me?
I have yet to hear anyone say anything about glok9n other than he’s a fakeass internet gangsta who happens to be illiterate.
PLUS, we know deep down you are a frustrated white boy from Iowa. BECAUSE NO SELF RESPECTING BLACK MAN WOULD EVER RESPRESENT HIMSELF THE WAY YOU DO.
Quit embarrassing our race. We are ashamed of you and your ilk. Since you are such a hip-hop fan, peep NYOIL’s new song. IT’S ABOUT YOU
@ Coop
He is trying to prevent the bad decision making of prospective parents in the black community. Talking about it helps awareness and changes the mindset of the next generation.
@DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!
Well I’m sure David Dukes and G W Bush Jr. are right sometime.
@Coop,
You know what, when you’ve done all that Bill has done for our people, you get an F-in pass. OK?
He can f-up in his personal life because he put the first respectable portrayal of black folk EVER on tv.
He can f-up because he’s paid for hundreds of black kids to go to college.
He can f-up because he came from nothing AND MADE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF.
He doesn’t have to be the d*mn pope to have a good message. OK? And yes, he is better than the people he’s talking about because he’s not poor and out of work. He doesn’t kill other black men. He doesn’t sell poison to our children. He doesn’t perpetuate negative stereotypes about our people. Before his show, we were coons and mammies on TV.
So for a people that give NAACP awards to R. Kelly and gangsta rappers, I think it’s safe to say we need help and are in no position to question a man like Bill Cosby. But you keep waiting for that Perfect Negro to come along and give you the right message.
damn bossip didnt even post up my comments. all i said to scoobie doobie was that booker t washington is all of what i see in Barack Obama. and W.E.B. Debois had “crabs in the barrel syndrome” to counter what he did.
sooooo you were right on point. Bossip Cocksuckers pissed me off by the day censoring me.
@ts combo
He is promoting black self-hate and classicism.
@ realwoman & @ others
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO: DON’T SHOOT THE MESSENGER???
So basically you are more interested in tearing down Bill instead of tearing down the problems in the Black Community???
TO EACH HIS OWN…
PS: I don’t run
