Bill Cosby, himself
We talked on the radio show today about Dr. Bill Cosby and his latest jeramiad against what he calls the poor values of poor Blacks in America. Inevitably, talk turned to his May, 2004 comments at the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, in which he complained about the poor speaking habits and misbehavior of many Blacks 'in the hood.'

Here's a link to those 2004 comments, and a link to a story about his latest comments, delivered both at the Spelman commencement, and to a CNN reporter. BTW, Cosby isn't just talking smack. He's taking his empowerment message on the road.
