I'm a bit of a fan of Cosby (but not too much ;), however with comments like this:

Quote
telling a room full of activists that black children are running around not knowing how to read or write and "going nowhere."
I agree, but shouldn't that apply to all people, and not just black people. (obvious)

Where I live, black people are no more likely to be illiterate than caucasian, and caucasion no more likely to be illiterate than Asians, erm... etcetera.



I do like his attitude, though! :-)

One more thing. I wholeheartedly agree with this:
Quote
Cosby denounced some blacks' grammar and said those who commit crimes and wind up behind bars "are not political prisoners."
