- The Pound Cake speech was given by Bill Cosby on May 17, 2004 during an NAACP Legal Defense Fund awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision.
In the speech, which was subsequently widely disseminated and analysed, Cosby was highly critical of the black community in the United States. He criticised the use of African-American Vernacular English, the prevalence of single-parent families, perceived emphasis on frivolous and conspicuous consumption at the expense of necessities, lack of responsibility, and other behaviours.

It's probably not YOUR 🤑 money. 😂
I think Cosby was proven right.
The Thug is in jail then got out he became what he preached aganist i follow GOD not man and certanly not imbecile like you
He was a disgusting predator!
Look what the Politics of Respectability got him.
I’m from “the hood” as a black man growing up. Through education and determination I was able to become a registered dental hygienist . Education helped me escape poverty. So Bill Cosby was right.
Hey that's awesome. Glad to hear it!
Bless your heart! Thanks for sharing your experience. May Jesus bless you and yours, always.
🤣🤣🤣
Congrats dude!
Can we as black people hold ourselves accountable? We are talking about the same issues now and it’s crazy that nobody wants to listen to these things
It’s because most of us have been programmed to fight one another.
@@TrunxKraft3000 It's funny how you would mention that because I said the same thing "Yesterday." We fight and kill each other more than any other race on "Planet Earth!?..." Mr. Cosby has the right to his opinion; rather some folk like or not!..
No, U N I T Y☹️. But naturally, dependents dnt control their environment. This African American culture is not even really ours, a lot of what we call out culture is a by product of circumstances we didn’t create…. So down the line to not be in a place of peace or even power or control, isn’t surprising. Quite frankly.
@@mopreme3605 Everyone is, in part, a product of their environment. Black culture needs to embrace hard work and savings more.
@@mopreme3605 That is because the media has promoted it.
He's telling the truth but they don't want to hear that.
He is only telling his truth there's 1 million stories in a naked City his is just one of them like they say never judge till you walk a mile and a man or a woman 👠
@@garyflythe1362 There are many examples of people who grew up poor and dug themselves out of it.
What he said applies in 2023 even more than it did then.
He only told the truth
If he told the truth about himself, he wouldn't be in jail though.
@@mr.o2342 he's innocent
Cosby was aiming these speeches at the wrong Black people.
He was always giving these speeches to middle class Blacks who are doing ok. Cosby should have given these speeches in the hoods of various cities. He should have went to some youth prisons and penitentiaries to give these speeches.
If he lectured like that in the hood, they’d beat his ass down in a heartbeat.
Black Lives Matter are doing the same....
@@Purple_911 BLM is a giant scam.
@Steven Yourke They are brilliant scammers. Use the death of a black man by cops to fuel their own personal agenda of Duping free shit and unearned advantages from the self loathing ass kissing fake white leftist allies.
WTF. Being poor and from the hood don't mean you need a lecture from someone that's not your parent. My parents bust they ass and raised me right and they never went to jail also some of those middle class spoiled brats would do crime to try to be cool not to survive. You talk like you better than poor people. I grew up in the hood and played in the projects non of my friends went to prison or are unemployed stop playing to the white man stereotype. Cosby helped alot of people but he wasn't shxt. He drugged woman at the same time he talk down on Eddie Murphy for using profanity.
Cosby is 100% right.
Now he’s thanking Lil Boosie for supporting him
Exactly
But what he was saying was the truth sometimes not even the Devil can take the s*** that Black people are doing to themselves in America
I didn't hear him thank him just smile while his money talked.
So! Did he walk out on a Boosie song?!
2 losers.
My God Bill`s Comment is to inspire not to degrade embarrass or shame our race ,sometimes being direct is the only way to be honest, straight forward without any any regrets. Kudos`s Bill
Whatever Cosby said is what most well meaning and intelligent ppl who see facts would agree.
Him saying it at a college is like a weight loss coach yelling at everyone at a gym
@Stone Decatur There is still a mindset that can help young people in college. That they can be responsible for their own future, and don't need government assistance to get there.
The doctor is very honest about race and not blaming racism. He is high educated and sees the truth differently than the ignorant and uneducated.
A "man" that drugs n assualts women is in NO position to tell anyone any damn thing!🙄
Hes kind of right
So right he went to jail
@@kornellkest4064 forget that issue ,this message here is still a good message
@@kornellkest4064 So, because he went to jail, he can't make a true statement?
Your comment reminds me of the people that constantly attack my "icon", whenever they disagree with something I say; all because they have no intelligent argument to make in response.
It's the typical "deflect, deflect, deflect" tactic. It's called a "smokescreen". Anyone with even an ounce of wisdom understands this.
Bill Cosby was absolutely right I’m sorry but he was. You can’t say anything to black ppl without unnecessary push back. Regardless of what their names are they aren’t learning a damn thing and super disrespectful.
Push back = whining
" My name is Tulip! My son's name is Sah'fah-rhee! Whah whah whah!"
Bill's always been right about these subjects.
Bill's flaw is not his message about education, but that he is a serial rapist
Man.... I remember this yo!!! Awesome upload brother!!
You may not like his delivery but you can't argue with the message.
This what got him targeted...
Umm no, it was the rape...
💯% agreed.
He surrounded himself with Yes men who had no morals. He saw all these other Famous Rich White men abusing their power. He didn't realize his privelege came from making White men rich. He stopped doing it for 2 decades. Then tried to make a comeback. His victims saw an opportunity to get their justice.
nonsense
and he went free today...
Went right over our heads the head of the record labels had another agenda totally went backwards I feel rap music is a major factor
I mean he wasn't wrong!
Tough love from one of the greats. Free Bill!!!!
This brother Mr. Coats is highly intelligent.
If only he could come to terms with how the Obama presidency set back Black America.
He might be but the pill needs to be swallowed.. no pun intended.
Check his books out. Just announced, he's at Howard with Nicole Hannah-Jones!
@@WithoutRemorse12 Just Obama lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's funny
@@frahman7485 More White millionaires were created under Obama then any presidency before him. Black and Latinos lost half their wealth that was in their homes.
Nearly 20 years later, do Black kids, teens, and young adults value education more? Did parents intervene and fight to improve their children's schools? Do Black Americans feel a greater sense of pride in their community?🤔Or, did Cosby eventually talk to young pople and try to understand their point of view?
Nowadays student loans are a huge problem in America meanwhile they are educated without a job 🤦♂️ make it make sense to me
At least we ain't raping though
I wonder why he hasn’t been asked back to ‘Real Time’?
And you got the white press capitalizing on Cosby's comments. That's the BS here.
Cosby was very right and it's still relevant now . Forget the pills ,the message is deep
Forget he raped more than 60 women?? He was a predator no different than R.Kelly!
@@ileanahernandez1709 no evidence. Get out of your feelings
I HAVE A MUSLIM NAME AND I NEVER BEEN TO JAIL, MR. BILL COSBY. THANK YOU 🙏🏿 VERY MUCH!
we don’t give a fuck pussy
@@dondrebrown1147 That's ignorant.
Great job to you sir.
That’s a normal thing not to have went to prison,…. Imagine a world where that’s an accomplishment. (Sarcasm by the way).
There he is! Mr. Hassan B! It's Muhammad in the Comments ✌🏾 You been recording new music?
The brother with the glasses was being way to passive on the situation, and he deflected a lot.
That is the Dubois Elitist anointed crowd ideologist type.
Can’t be giving your kids $200-$300 pair of sneakers and video game systems and they are making D’s and F’s on their report cards, cursing out teachers, and skipping class.
I see no problem with what was said🤷🏽♀️
He said "pull up your pants" he should have taken his own advice
@@stonedecatur6602 man stop that bullsh*t name me one flawless person outside of Jesus? What he said was right, so if a crack head told you doing drugs is wrong, you’re not gunna listen because he/she is still doing drugs? black folks gotta stop with this “the person speaking has to be perfect”, MLK cheated, Malcolm was a x convict, David (from the Bible) murdered a man for his wife, Solomon the wisest man fell to his own ego, so does that mean everything they’ve done or said is untrue?
@@kingk719 I just said that he should have taken his own advice. Who was his target audience when he made that speech.
@@kingk719 BOY had a history but had a bold message he wasn't following
A Harvard University Prof is debating a comic book writer who got the job because he is black. Well done 👍🏿
Ironically Coates is a college drop out arguing with a Harvard professor
I'd like to ask this guy what does he think about Bill Cosby comments today
U know….as I become older and more mature, and being a black man in this nations understanding Malcome X, Im beginning to wonder if Cosby actually did what he is being accused of, for the simple fact that many of the things Cosby has said, I find myself saying the exact same thing.
He said nothing wrong
He is a hypocrite
No, no. He’s got a point.
Damn, we should have listened.
I wonder what Hezakya Newz thinks of music, movies, social media...an entire billion-dollar industry of 'entertainers' and 'influencers'.all selling degeneracy, decadence, destructive and irresponsible behavior.
Folk got in their feelings about what he was talking about back then and now look.
The truth is now controversial?😂😂😂
Right message wrong messenger
He had a point with some of the things he was saying tho
I see nothing wrong with his comments.
He’s telling the truth, but he needed to put in context.
This is anger is a pondering statement
Wise words from the serial rapist.
😂😂 bruh im black and this shit got me hollering 0:30
Class !!
The problem is everyone thinks you have to choose a truth. Both sides (Cosby’s perspective vs the black lower economic class) are true
Why does 2004 looks so old. That was just like 5 years ago...
That's the 00s love this recorded from vhs that's why sweetheart
@@TheBulletzgottishow20
I'm not talking about the video quality I'm talking about the style of clothing, the set, etc.
@@TheBulletzgottishow20 me saying it was 5 years ago is how many people still feel who were teenagers during the early 2000s. Meaning....time flies once we became adults
@@Purple_911 you it do look old i can't front queen happier fun times the 00s
truth is the underlying message yes and how can we equate the message with the messenger?
He's an elder with a lot of wisdom. Love him or hate him, he is still a legend with a huge legacy. Love you King ❤️
Reading!!!!! There is NO SHORTCUT.
COSBY FACTS!!!!
Here we are decades later and the statistics are worse than before...
&&&& everything bill said was the truth . . . 💔💔💔💔💔💯
You see
He was right
Leave poor old "COL" alone. "COL" Billbsy is always being attacked for no reason.
Hey....don't knock Hooked on Phonics....
…
Ta-Nehisi Coates, a joke then and a joke now! This dude is absolutely delusional!
Now. ironic!
Sad what Dr Cosby went through. But he should of talk with the Black family not in front of our open enemies
Dr Cosby forgot what this system has done to us
So white people are your enemy?
Im white and Bill Cosby didn't say anything new that white people didn't already know. Its not hard for white people to observe what goes on in the black lower class.
Slavery, drugs.
Platform for a lot of self hatred unfortunately!
7:50 Coleman Hughes has mentioned this several times, that black names have gotten "blacker". It's an indication of something, but I'm not sure of what.
Tried to play bill for a sugar daddy he hit and ranned call police scream rape sound like a average call girl
Congrats, that was ALMOST a sentence.
❤
Is he wrong though? Even if he was a rapist, his words are right. Truth hurrs but it is the hurt.
Kewn
Didnt know Tal Nahesi Coates has been without a brain for this long of his life. Situation has gotten 100x worse & he still believes what he said here in 2004.
Dropping out of school and/or going to jail has absolutely nothing to do with a man's desire for education or higher learning.
Unfortunately, a lot of middle aged African Americans that made it in this hostile society turn around and put down others not as fortunate and make put down judgements instead of realizing the fact that they have been blessed.
This still makes me angry, not everyone black came from a lucky background like Bill.
@@1trucxhondamov589 You know he grew up poor and in the projects in North Philly.
@@MisterB2eternity If he ACTUALLY grew up poor, than he should know better.
Frustrating reality being an African American in the US.
Just because a brother may have some money in his pocket doesn't mean he's not a lowdown n....
Cold world!
@@1trucxhondamov589 And that's true. However, as a culture, we have idiots out here putting down Black males who went on to get higher education and working 9 to 5 gigs. Also, we have to stop glorifying the criminal life because we all know it's bullshit. You even got dudes over 56 years old talking crazy to guys younger than me and doing the things I have just mentioned. They just mad because they fucked up.
@@1trucxhondamov589 He lived under Jim Crow.....
Don’t beat your women..meanwhile he nvm
He still was not beating any woman, plus all those were false rape allegations.
@@mauriceschaeffer5070 never said he beat women smart one. Of course you would say they were false. smfh
@@nishaprice1731 Were the charges not dropped?
@@mauriceschaeffer5070 not because he was innocent. You know that right?
@@nishaprice1731 Because of what? Let me ask you this, do you think someone like Bill Cosby who everyone was trying to get locked up miraculously got his charges dropped?
He was only guilty in the public opinion case not legally. He should have never served time anyway.
Mashup much?
A set of lips will say anything! Clearly the same system lock him up 😂
Two words for Mr. Cosby: Heal Thyself.
Ta-Nehisi killed it. His critique of Cosby is the difference between the Black intellectual and the bourgeoisie Niegreau. Most so-called Black ppl in the U.S. are in fact colonized Niegreaux, so Cosby is a wealthy Niegreau discussing poor Niegreaux. Black ppl should steer clear of Niegreaux of any class, as Cosby has shown he is the type to "Talk Black and sleep white." Typical Niegreau behavior
Cosby didn't speak truth.
This sealed his ultimate demise. Just like what they did to Brother Malcom but w/o the bullets and blood.
