I NEVER thought Dr. Cosby's criticism of the Black community was wrong or controversial. He was right then as his views still ring true today. We are NOT pitiful as a people. We just have TOO MANY of us who act pitifully.
Would think people would get that message and DO BETTER.
The mainstream has been working overtime since 2010 to eradicate the Black Avengers that speak truth to mediocrity. They've even disparaged Dr King post mortem. I wonder if Denzel Washington is next.
Remember there's always employment in strawbossing.
The only advantage we have today is that whites in America and Europe are racing each other to the bottom so fast that those of us in the shallows may find that we're soon the only ones afloat.
@@STho205 Damm "Racing each other to the bottom" now that's one way of putting it and spot on.
@@tonytay4320 Too busy being grossly disrespectful to our elders, petty, angry, hostile, dismissive, divisive, neither listening nor learning. Just stylin', profilin'.
Me neither bro. It's sad that so many did.
You can't be mad at what he said. That message did not start with him and it won't end with him.
Seems like the message died, no one on Cosby’s level is trying to do what he did
@@LOSTGPS That's the issue. Back when Cosby spoke (at least in his earlier days) he had alot of respect from the black community. When it pertians to term of "level", a level is only given when the people potray to it. There are plenty of influencers or leaders now that have potential, but we refuse to recognize and empower them as black leaders to truly give them a "level".
Raper
I was a classroom teacher when Cosby went on the tour to discuss accountability in the black community, and I agreed with most of what he said. I was shocked he received backlash for saying things that were said to me as a child being a Gen X woman. I knew then, the black community was in serious trouble. Holding people accountable for their actions is now taboo and we see how the violence and the debauchery has ravaged the black community. The only way things will change for us as a collective is if we change it. If we still think someone on the outside of our community is going to save us, we are insane.
I felt the same way! He wasn't saying anything different than your moms or grandmoms... "PULL UP YOUR DAMN PANTS!!" I was shocked that black folks where mad at him for that speech. We always tend to say, "They do it too!!"
Thank you. You are spot on. My parents were uneducated or under educated but they taught me and my siblings to work hard, to be honest and respectful to everyone and stay in school. My siblings and I are all successful. Just be responsible. If you make a mistake own up to it. My mother passed away two days after Christmas five years ago, but her spirit lives in all of her children. Thank God for the values she instilled in us that continues to live on that is scarcely seen today.
I remember ppl saying "he need to mind his business, he talking down to black ppl" and some of these were smart professional black ppl. I was like how we supposed to grow like this. If black ppl can't tell black ppl anything, how do we expect this to pan out? What we see now is the result of it and am saddened by it.
@@characterchange6793 We see how things are now. 😌

Mr Cosby is right and was always right on these topics. Sad that most people have to age to see the truth.
he is wrong. The reason he seems right because this country culture is to be cruel and indifferent to other people pain or suffering.
USA culture even hates the notion of giving something FREE to someone else? AMERICA IS RULED by sociopaths and sociopaths occupy the top 10% of wealth or class distinction.. All the CEOs are. Police, Top Doctors, top military, top politicians, the top students, the top actors, the top comedians.
............................. HE GOT WHERE HE IS BY BEING INDIFFERENT................. his success prove to him he is correct.
but people in hell really hot.. 🔥🔥?
People are more complicated than any parents abilities on the planet. He blamed grieving parents; that it was their fault. SAY NO TO DRUGS, how hard is it?
era. The welfare queen era. His speech sounds right because it reflect the American value on "you are on your own" .. pull YOURSELF up, dont ask me
___________ which is weirdly anti Christian. infact all 3 major religion teaches charity and showing kindness. Which is why i mention that x-factor in the culture of abundance of sociopaths in this culture. They move the goal post of acceptable behavior more than faith.
COSBY WIFE dont know her husband's own fetishes; and look how long they live together. You dont know people's trigger.
I do believe many parents when they say: "I did not know my son/daughter would do that". because you cant gauge that crime of passion. " you cant write your child diary" you dont know all of them. We all wear mask temporary or permanent ones.
MY PARENTS | LOVER | WORKER | CHURCH | UBER DRIVER | CASHIER | BANKER = cannot describe me equally.
This is why people in generally make the news. because we all assume that wasn't them. The truth is they never reveal that side to us.
Cosby knows what Im talking about. because his mom would not have recognized him in court.
Selfishness rules this culture. Envy jealous and indifference to emotional giving = goes back to it. For this country to give up racism it has to give selfishness and dont big-up sociopaths CEOs who fires 1000 employees to save stock prices. the CEO should not be praised for strong decision-making. its wicked behavior. anyways
hot.. 🔥🔥 it is, then.
@@cinnamonstar808 We can't keep making excuses for our poor performance. Whining about injustice, whether real or imagined, isn't going to ever produce any results. That's the bottom line. Nobody cares. And life isn't easy for anybody. We can already see that whining and protesting will not get us any results. Embracing ignorance and frivolity will not ever strengthen us or prepare us for the persistence, dedication and hard work that it takes to succeed. Until we make those solid, positive values a cornerstone of our culture, we'll continue to lag behind everyone else.
@askella A Lionel Hampton created the best thing in this world. 10 minutes of listening to his band gives me more joy than any of the cars I've ever owned. And nuclear missiles?

Are you nuts?
@askella A You are illiterate.
@@DDye-kh4ii Your eloquent Truthful statement is PERFECTION. Thank you.
As black ppl, we slowly became allergic to accountability. It's about to be 2022 and ppl are still afraid of conversations like this. When are gonna finally look at ourselves in the mirror as a ppl and cut the BS?
I'd say a political convention is a good start. Ask the average black person in the street what is agenda for blacks in America, you going to get crickets. Got to get together to hash out a agenda. Everyone won't agree but we need some consensus. In the civil rights era....Jim crow had to go PERIOD. What will be ours in the 21st century
@@jman1562001 No. No mass movements. No leaders. No more constant searching for messiahs to save us. We need to do the absolute basics like every other group of people. Get educated, get married, have children. IN THAT ORDER!! Without an exponential increase in the number of intact black families, absolutely NOTHING changes for our people as a whole.
@@Roccofan that's on an individual level I agree, but collective level I do think a political convention to hash out an agenda to solve some structural issues is needed to. But I agree on your point tho....cover your basics before anything else.....tbh we def don't need black leaders imo, never needed them to progress or move forward, we just went out and did something. That's black history in a nutshell.
@@jman1562001 I think ultimately yes, but we have some work to do as a collective before a convention would really be beneficial for black people.
@Mira M Who are the Indian leaders? Who are the Korean community leaders? The level of freedom in this nation coupled with a lack of cultural, religious, or political unity amongst us means that our collective racial image is our currency. That currency increase with family and education.
I'm white, I'm 55, I grew up with Bill Cosby.
Saturday morning cartoons, Fat Albert all the way through The Cosby show. Bill Cosby was someone to look up to regardless of color.
*DioScuri Mas* Color is *always* regarded in white society.
Just like most white people, he is the embodiment of the American dream - UNTIL YOU FIND OUT THE TRUTH !!
@@apacademyNo one on this earth is without flaw. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Bill Cosby will always be revered as a Great man.
@@apacademy
Could you elaborate? What exactly is the truth?
@@omokaroojiire
Cosby NEVER EVER challenged white supremacy like others did. He asks of black parents, normally in ghetto church type settings, "Where were you when he was 5 or 10 yrs old" ? Where was HE when HIS daughter was 5 or 10 ? Oh yeah raping white women in Hollywood. His daughter ended up going to jail for attempting to blackmail him. Great parental relationship, and example for the world. Of course NEVER does he ask white parents where they were when Johnnie Jr. was building bombs in the basement, and assembling and packing up an arsenal to take to school to kill all his classmates. Fuck Coz
I'm afraid Dr. Cosby's message falls on deaf ears even more so now than it did when he originally delivered it. As a people, we just seem to not like being corrected, especially by one of our own.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 💯💯💯💯
Most honest assessment I've heard in a long time.
We don't mind being corrected but by people we respect. Cosby is a lowlife who mistreated young black entertainers because they didn't meet his standards. Remember the time he disrespected Wanda Sykes, when she was hosting a show. He would tell young black comedians, how their humor was buffoonery. Cosby used his TV persona to hide, who he is for real. They say the worse people in Hollywood, never want to play a diabolical character, they always want to play a character in good light. It's just another way of fooling the public, brainwashing them public into believing they're this upstanding citizen, when they couldn't be further from that.
You said a thing here sir. We just don’t like to be told what we’re doing wrong. Smh.
@@williamshoven you’re wrong because Cosby was respected and the truth is we don’t like to have our dirty laundry aired we don’t like to be told what we’re not doing right but we need too cause Cosby was right all along and his philanthropy will shut any naysayer down. In fact the naysayers can’t touch this philanthropy with a 10 foot pole. Had some black folks learn to separate the man from the message and then take heed to what was being said some of us would be a lot better off. Cosby was trying to encourage comedians to try to curb the profanity and to tell you the truth I find that over excessive use of profanity takes away from a comedian’s routine.
Regardless of how anyone feels about Mr. Cosby, no one can ignore the knowledge he was dropping and yet here we are as a race still competing amongst each other vs helping each other to stay ahead.
Respect.....
Nasty!
I agree Mr Thomas. We need to cut out this crab in a barrel mentality. This zero sum game mentality about competing against each other (If u lose I win) instead of cooperation (I win, u win we all win).
We need money at the bottom to ensure it stays that way. It’s a capitalist society. It’s dog eat dog and that’s what Cosby knows and knew with reparations we wouldn’t have to step on each other’s toes to get ahead we will all be at the table to brainstorm but we all can’t get there without financial backing. How the hell do you think these politicians get into office. 💵💷💴💰💶💸
Oh, I can ignore the 'knowledge" he's dropping. He's part of a selfish Black American mis - leadership class bent on blaming poor Blacks for all the problems of the Black race. People like him are all about the come up for themselves and their own families. This class includes Obama, Kamala and nearly all other Black politicians, businessmen and "civil rights" leaders.
True
The reality is black people don’t want to hear it no matter who it comes from. Look at the backlash Monique got for the bonnet situation and she ain’t drugged nobody. Our people are perfectly content with being behind cause it’s way more fun to be rebellious. In fact, the more “by the book”, or “straight and narrow” you are, the cornier and “white” you’re perceived.
That’s why you just gotta worry about yourself and do your own thing
This!!
Facts
Big time facts
Monique's comment is immaterial,a group with power can make anything fashionable no matter how ridiculous it maybe or may perceived to be. Brazil,the U.S and South Africa are good examples of population size and race conflicting at showing how a organized group can be successful maintaining dominance over small or large population. Brazil has the largest African population outside of Africa then followed by the U.S,most may not be aware because of Brazilian census. The point is,these places have the same societal and economic outcome for Black folks because of white people.

@@wendellknight2072 Right! The govt and those lying ass skanks attempted to sabotage him with their lies. BILL COSBY is STILL STANDING! "Still WE RISE!",
The only problem I’ve ever had is that we are not a monolithic people. Meaning I can ride out to 50 cent while going to AP English, watch Eddie Murphy raw while my kids are sleeping and get myself to work the next morning. Mr Cosby dropped so many gems and gave us a lot of free game but feelings got in the way of accepting the info he gave. He’s a great man who loves his people maybe we should love us more too.
Well put indeed.
But we're monolithic when it's convenient for when black people need to argue with white people for example NOT all of us come from slavery but that's a narrative black people love pushing on everyone. 🤦🏾♀️
@@Katlady001 I agree 💯👍
I applaud your statement 👏👏👏👏👏, our ppl need to stop wanting & waiting on a hand out, or freedom fighters to it for us, when our very own ppl can be the change we seek, that's what the cry babies who got all in their feelings missed
@@paulacross3086 They stuck on reparations instead of learning how to seek restitution.
Cosby was correct about the state of Black America today.
My 3 favorite movies in the 90s that Bill Cosby played in are, Ghost Dad, the meteor man, and Jack, staring Robin Williams.... those are some childhood classics right there 💯
I remember those, especially Ghost Dad! I loved that movie!

You gotta be careful out there; folks will set up the scene for you! Frfr
He fell right into that trap! 😒
It also helps to deflect the attention from them.
He was sexually assaulting folks since the 70’s. What you do in the dark ALWAYS comes to light. Be mad at what you chose to do
@@dinkyboss - Not all the crap done in the dark comes to light. Millions leave this earth with their own deep secrets.
theyre getting in trouble for pedo shit all the time in the government, and were still fighting about dumb shit. yo, people fucking kids.
Bill Cosby, Dolores Tucker and many of our elders told no lies. They saw back then what many if us shake our heads at today.
Facts!
Ok Delores Tucker picked an extremely weird way to jump into a fight because she started attacking rappers and their music when none of what she was doing was necessary
Yeah, but Tucker was a "picked nigga." She and the so-called Black Congressional Congress are---to this day---the ones picked to drive the current narrative(s) to blacks. Other picked niggas include the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Maxin Waters. Not everyone is for us, even if they look like us.
Cosby been on point with the message. Not harnessing that message is why we as black ppl remain in last place and will continue to do so.
This is SPOT ON! KEEP CREATING MORE THOUGHT PROVOKING CONTENT.
"Throwing money at a fire will not put out a fire." Too cold bruh. Poignantly Trenchant. BARS!
This was so dope! Great information and very well narrated!
I believe well after he’s gone history will show and prove a greater side of Mr. Cosby. ♥️
I hope you are right. But it depends on who controls the narrative. A lot of low information people out there. Plenty of people in history who were scumbags are celebrated and vice versa. History is written by the victors
It's sad that we as black have what wait when this GREAT MAN DIED. TO DO SOMETHING TO SAY SOMETHING IT NOT RIGHT. IT WON'T MEAN DAME THING WHEN HE'S DEAD. AM I RIGHT? SAY SOMETHING DO SOMETHING WHILE HE STILL ALIVE!!. DON'T GIVE ME FLOWER WHEN I'M DEAD BECAUSE THE DEAD DONT NO NOTHINGS. GIVE THANKS TO THIS MAN WHILE HE STILL ALIVE THAT'S HOW YOU

GREAT COMMENTARY. BILL COSBY HAS ALWAYS EMPHASIZED EDUCATION AND GAVE GENEROUSLY TO INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING. ALSO AS FAR AS ACTING, HE HAS ALOT OF CLASS.
He was competition and a threat. That’s why they trying to finish him. He was holding the black community accountable, trying to make us better. This can’t be allowed. They need us to be rappers, drug dealers and ball players.
Why are you yelling
Apparently you did not attend any of those institutions of learning.
Maybe that's one of the reason, amongst others why.... czcams.com/video/rbQTFUl6POw/video.html
I agree with every word Cosby said, and so do actual stand-up Black people.
What you didn't mention, is that Murphy hates his old stand-up routines, and said they make him cringe.
He, upon maturing, totally agrees with Cosby and wish he'd listened.
Thanks for that info. I didn't know that about Murphy. Sometimes it takes maturity to stand up to the 'bullies' (i.e. Hollywood). They know what sells and their bottom line is money and it can be hard to say no to. Have to wonder what goes on with celebrities who realize later in their career, the earlier things weren't them and they wish they did things differently.
When did Murphy say that?
Bill Cosby is a man of integrity, and I’m thankful for his influence.
no. he uphold the sociopath culture of this land. which is not to give "physical, monetarily or emotionally". What he was doing was robbing the honest grief of those parents or people in that situation. why cant we be sad as they are sad? how much would it cost us to understand their situation or feel for it for 3 sec?
He is asking the parents "where were you" but where is he in reaching out in solidarity to understand someone's pain. HE BLAME THE PARENTS so he doesnt have to share the community pain.
The human response is "sorry for your lose" - You kid goes to jail is a divorce. irregardless of innocent or guilty.
this country response to racism the same way... "that aint me"
drug abuse "that aint me"
Health care "that aint me"
poverty "that aint me"
crime rates "that aint me"
covid rates "that aint me"
THIS COUNTRY is all about that. which is why covid is lasting 2+ years instead of 2 weeks. "pull yourself up" " you are on your own"
it sounds good.... because ITS THE CULTURE. he is successful like all the other people who things that way.
His mom would not know him. in court
I would be that MF who ask MRS COSBY " where were you?"
Integrity? Bill Cosby? I wonder the more than 30 women he sexually demoralized believes he has "integrity"? What does he has to say about this? He seems to have a moral compass for everyone except himself.
Thank you for this tutorial Bill Cosby is a great influencer; I was young parent with three children, I got the courage in my heart from watching a different world and all the sitcoms Bill Cosby was in to go back to school.I couldn’t read and I graduated from high school I was lost so I went back to a school that had literacy programs and it took me 10 years to learn how to read on a college level. through prayer persistence I gain my confidence I am proud to say I can read.
Dope video. Great take on Cosby and the black struggle in America. These are complex subjects.
The man is a legend to me. A flawed legend, but a legend.
I agree wholeheartedly 100% that Mr. Cosby MAYBE "FLAWED;"(who isn't these days) HOWEVER, HIS MESSEGE IS INDEED, "FLAWLESS" AND ONE WHICH NO ONE CAN IMPUGN NOR SAY IT IS "IMPUISSANT.
flawed? what did he do wrong? accused by ho's?
And he's no rapist. Those women were just groupies
Yeah, being a serial predator is a real character flaw...
@@MrKingoverall There is a Documentary out called we need to talk about Cosby or Bill something like that you should watch it it highlights all of his achievements but then it dives into the accusations and has several interviews with the women I think it’s very important that we all watch that because he did that shit
Cosby is correct about the negative effect Hip Hop has had on Black Culture, I have now come to understand that which is why I no longer listen to it. We have underestimated the impact the influence of music has on the subconscious mind. YT people understand this which is why it’s their record labels dictating the content and producing the music. Our youth are now mirroring the music they listen to, which is why crime in our communities continues to skyrocket. We have to take accountability, face these challenges, and make the necessary changes and rebuild our community from within if we are to turn things around.
But how? That's a big challenge...
@@rainbowofsoups8570 Responsibility. That is it. Just start with yourself and then be an influence to your kids. Literally all you need to do.. Stop letting media tell you how to live your life and who to blame for you not being among the 1%. Stop thinking that your people are your color, but rather think your people are your fellow countrymen.
Certain hip hop or rap.not all.bad in every genre.
The "culture" was jacked up before HipHop lol
@@AO-pn2uo There we’re some issues prior to it and mainstream hip hop is not the catalyst however, its not helping and it sure is speeding up the downward decline. Back in the 90s I used to think that music couldn’t persuade people to do anything. But I was naive and didn’t take into consideration of the amount of impressionable people in society. Also, if music can illicit a happy or sad emotion it can definitely illicit a angry and violent ones. Social engineering is what is being done to us via the music. Decade after decade of over sexualized and hyper violent music has hypnotized several generations to glorify BS. Mainstream Hip hop is now a soundtrack to ignorance. And the powers that be know exactly what they are doing that’s why all the “hood” music is everywhere and the positive, political hip hop is intentionally pushed to the way side and not promoted. So Cosbys idea of positive representation 100% has merit!
Geesh!! This is gold!! I will be sharing this with my entire network. Good work.
The harsh truth always hurts more than a lie. There are many things holding us back that are a direct result of our own actions.

Thank you for this video. It is needed in our community! 🤗🙌🏼❤ I was always down with Dr. Cosby and what he said about us as a people. I sort of understood the backlash because *some didn't like his TONE when he said it.* But most people were just trifling and did not want to hear the truth!
📢 Imagine you're at war in a foxhole. The soldier next to you who has been lighting up the enemy suddenly screams *"I'm outta ammo!!! GIVE ME ANOTHER CLIP!!!"* What is your response? Well, that's what Bill did in 2007 and a huge chunk of the Black diaspora started whining and crying *"Bill, don't YELL AT ME!* 😭😭😭" and left him exposed to take fire from the enemy AND Black people.
After what Cosby had already done for the community, was he just frustrated and letting off steam?
You're so right. Dr Cosby book "Come On People" is a must read. Peace and blessings family 🙌🏾
Right On! Beautifully said.
Excellent analysis. People don't realize that a lot of the flack Cosby experienced (before his legal problems were known) came from whites who didn't like his portrayals of educated Black people, and upper middle class life.
The pushback from behind the scenes were of people who wanted to see the usual portrayals of buffoonery and struggles attributed to Blacks as seen at the time on shows like Sanford and Son, Good Times, What's Happening etc. In addition when Cosby made a play on taking over NBC, the powers to be really got ruffled, making him persona non grata in some quarters.
Unfortunately, unsophisticated people (who are playing checkers in the 3D Chess game of life) were used as pawns to attack Cosby as being a sellout, corny, out of touch, mean etc. Cosby has his faults, but he was trying to help the Black community. Some of them are too simple minded to see that.

But didn't listen to his people of where investments would create the most and best results.
*HE GOT TAX WRITE OFFS FOR HIS FUCKING DONATIONS, AND CHARGED PEOPLE TO HEAR HIM SPEAK! Fool.

Cosby tried to bullshit people to vote Republican during his book tour.
He wouldn't listen when he was told the white people he loves so much is going to get him.

People that win the lottery usually don't keep the winnings long. That's not a black people thing, that's a poor people thing. Everyone that wins the lottery does one of two things: they either spread the wealth within their community amongst family and friends with the intent that they are paying it forward when in reality they're generally giving other people money that are also bad with money. The other thing that happens is what others call: "letting the money change you." You keep the money, educate yourself on how to invest and grow your fortune. Spend it wisely and look after your own friends and family on your terms because after all, it's your money and you want others to respect what you're doing for them. Sometimes, that doesn't work, and now everyone around you sees you as selfish and you forgot where you came from. It's not exclusive to the black community, nor is it exclusive to poor people. People that live in poverty that are suddenly given money and lose it all again will be the first to tell you that money can't replace the family and friends that molded you growing up. It doesn't by happiness.
So true. People will be calling u who havent called in years. Then if you dont give your money away you will more thsn likely have a target on your black. Poor/lazy people love company and hand outs. Especially black ppl you cant have anything in the hood without someone trying to take it
@@alizehustle9385 the people that say "money can't buy happiness" usually haven't had enough money to ever be happy, secure, or content with their finances.
You know what really doesn't buy happiness? Poverty.
Poverty doesn't buy anything.
Mr Cosby was right about Murphy and gangsta rap. Cosby didn't condemn all of rap just what painted us in a negative light.
No matter what ppl think of Cosby he's been right the whole time. He's always stated that media was the way to grasp our attention to make the changes that are needed. Negative images of blk folks has definitely not helped us progress. It's worse now bcuz all I see on tv shows and commercials is single blk women, gay blk men. Strong blk male role models our needed badly in our community in media.

Thank you for this!
Keep the information flowing .
This was a great video. I wish it was up to an hour long.
Good take. I appreciate you guys still being willing to speak to the complexity of Bill Cosby as opposed to mainstream media making him a simple villain and laughing stock. He isn’t a perfect person, even pre-incarceration. But the absence of any prominent black voices speaking to any of the ills of black culture is a problem. Outside of white supremacy, there are things we can do to elevate.
What is Black culture? Who sanctioned it? I didn’t know all Black people had the same world view, values, and culture. Learn something new everyday I guess.
@@adofominka8767 That’s a great question bro. I think when we talk about culture, in any context we are speaking about the most popular and predominant trends in a given time frame. I don’t think any person, or group holds the same x from person to person, but I don’t think that precludes social trends amongst a given group. I think that’s the best response I could give. It’s a great observation though. I don’t think individualities should exclude what I think are very real and telling realities that reveal themselves in generalities.
@@adofominka8767 Right. WE are worldwide of various cultures. WE aren't all cut from the same Kente Cloth. Some shackled slaves had to learn to communicate in their different languages to bond, kill their captors and escape.
White supremacy only exists to people who put others above them based on some perception.
@@simplesimon5739 Exactly! Thank you for saying it! So, it only exists in their minds [perception]. Because it isn't true. There is no such thing as WS [I won't even type it! Laughing!] in my mind/life.
I grew up in the ghetto, mom and dad separated with violence all around me. Because of great influences like Bill Cosby I am the man I am today. He gained a son in me
That's the biggest issue. Trying to get rid of elders in the black community. Cosby is more useful now. Publicly destroying his image is a direct attack on his community.
Great content! Very needed.
But when he first said these things, before the scandal, black people said he was attacking the black community. If anything this is when he was giving gems and trying to elevate our thinking as a collective group.
To the black community: it's all love when he (or anyone else) says: pull your pants up, stop twerking everywhere, stop wearing bonnets outside, respect your bodies, respect your elders, get educated, stop fighting your people, etc. And it's all love when we are held accountable for the BS. It's not elitist or disengaged. It often comes from a place of seeing both sides of the coin.
It’s interesting that folks like Boosie hated him when he was telling them to pull up their pants, read a book and take care of your kids but when he’s found to have assaulted women all of a sudden he’s a hero to black community and the only positive representation of black folks to ever exist. Accountability is a dirty word to some folks
@@dinkyboss Exactly!
The only "black community" that was upset about what he was saying, was the same community he basically help build.....the black entertainers.....
@@williampresley4945 No, there were people who I knew personally and people online talking about how Cosby was out of touch and wrong. The sentiment flipped though, once he was accused of r*.
One of your best videos to date Comedy Hype. Kudos.
I'm so glad you have made this video. :)
Great commentary! ❤
I ❤ Mr. Bill Cosby. He tried to tell Blk people before we got so far behind. Illiteracy and poor grammar plaque Blk community like name brand clothes. We cannot keep making excuses for lack of education and repeated poor decisions that leads to vicious cycles. All we want are other people's names on our bodies and overly priced tennis shoes for false sense of feeling good; yet cannot read and comprehend. Let's not forget those overly priced iPhones; yet cannot communicate appropriately or write. 😔😔😔😔
It's sad 😥 but they put there! 🧏🏾♀️
WE NEED TO UNITE AND STOP HATING EACH OTHER.... DON'T MAD DOG ME WHEN WE PASS EACH OTHER IN THE STREETS BROTHERS . WERE ROYALTY ACT LIKE IT!!!
@@nave37 now this I agree with. I HATE living in the hood because that's all we do. I get more ugly stares and fight attempts from my own than any Karen in the city. I've seen us smile at "others" Then literally turn around and MAD DOG our own SIMPLY FOR EXISTING!! It's disgusting and sad.
@@anelbre0904 it's crazy how we had a few black wall Street's in the past but can't produce one now and we have way more money today but that's a whole new topic
@@nave37 seems like you need to expand your mind as well as circle there are more than several black owned towns. Do your research never believe what anyone tells you its surface
That impression of Cosby chastising Eddie Murphy for using profane language was spot on and hilarious....lol...
$20M back in the 80s is like giving over $100M today. Most so called “celebrities” ain’t giving away $100M like Dr. Cosby. I can only imagine the impact that money made to help the school carry on and helped a lot of people get an education.
Wow. This. Was. Eye. Opening.
Great piece y’all. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This was so influential and very well stated. Thank you sir for the content
I never gave up on mr Cosby
Glad that I stumbled across this while looking for something else. Excellent. Thank you:)
This was a great video
The truth hurts and for the fear of pain we choose to live a lie
Fantastic insight. Those five categories: Employment Ratio, Per capita income, Household Wealth, Higher Education and Home Ownership are the cornerstones to one's success. I'd include self-respect in that equation.
I agree...
Thank you for this, fam. Please keep going!
Really appreciate the information that you guys put out there
Competing against our one always destroy black wealth, most black people will go out and buy the most expensive things and never thinking about the next day or the future . Black we spend too much on things we really don't need. I hope 2022 be the year black people gain more and spend less , it's OK to treat yourself one time a month but don't over do it . Blessings walk good beautiful black people
It’s people’s money they can do what they want.
He’s still one of my favorite’s
Nasty!
@@karegairegi9071 how?
Thank you for saying it. They want you to trade him for Constand? What is she worth to the community?
Great work!!
Keep up the good work!
Amazing commentary! One of your top best. Thank you for sharing. I have always had mad respect for Mr. Cosby. 👍🏾
Those who speak truth are not honored or respected till what they said is finally revealed as truth in our lives.
he doesnt. he speak of inhumanity being cold and emotionless about caring for others in a sad situation. ITS FAILED CULTURE
he speaks American. where they have 1 billion f's and dont give you 1.
Excellent post!
Excellent commentary!
This was Brilliant thank you for this. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I’d be more interested in why Cosby lost to NBC. I’d be more interested in why Cosby didn’t work with Dr Claude Anderson on implementing his his economic blue print Powenomics. Theirs was a sat commentary and highlights the failures of the black power movement. Those who have more should do more to build an economic infrastructure for black people. Cosby failed to do that.
Now you talking he not going to work with Doc bcus he really not into helping the BC end of story. He send some kids to college ok that good but he did not talk about generation wealth. I never heard him talk about this. Never heard him talk about what the BC need to be doing. Fatherless kids, crime, killing of blacks in the community. Dr. Claude talks about this in his books and podcast. Bill just talking now bcus white has thrown his black butt to the streets. They done with him
Great work J
Great commentary, what beat is that from?
Great video and the message is spot on. The problem with Cosby was surprisingly his timing of these speeches and talks. He didn’t reflect those concerns onto a crowd that needed to hear and absorb the message. As an example, he would go off on a tangent during a college commencement speech amongst young and successful black graduates talking about welfare and problems in the hood.
He never went back to the source and tried to enlighten the youth. He might have started there in his Fat Albert days of social commentary. But post-Cosby show he would appear as a ranting and senile lunatic because of his improper choice of forums. 💯
I see now why Cosby's words resonate with most of yall on here... he said he wasn't writin no checks, wasn't gonna invest in the hood. Most of yall on here feel exactly the same way, took yo college degree, divested from the Black community, turnt yo back and ran away as fast as you could to the White community to claim all the ownership and sovereignty you have over there.
I love anything with cosby in it he gives you a laugh and he's real no cap
Good stuff!!
Great video well done
I'm not gonna blindly follow him after all the trouble he got himself in, but I am gonna agree with his message.
He always got my respect for what he put out. The cosby show helped shape me in fatherhood.
He never said anything wrong in his message to the black community. Preachers actually have said the same thing. Cosby wasn't the first or only.
This video is dope
Need to see keep it bbn up comedy hype
Appreciate this take!
I'm glad you decided to do this story. Bill Cosby will always be legend on leading people to do what was decent in the entertainment world.
Wow almost forgot about all the great things this man stood for and did for melenated people! Great video thanks! Reading between lines to see truths..
This was sooo good!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for this content
Typically, a Philly native retains respect if they improve life in the city.
This honor is also passed to athletes and others who moved into the city and contribute to Philly's success.
As of this afternoon, it is evident that the words of Bill Cosby ring true.
Pfft lmao as a young 21 year old born raised, an residing in philly. I can wholeheartdly see that it isnt the case anymore. My gen an most after will not hold ur idols up fuck em. We dont need em anymore. Cant wait to see cosby lose to the reaper. The world is not so black an white anymore. Hasnt been for over a decade now
@@mondayinflux1062 - your opinion. Right now, I am worried about the rampant (and UNNECESSARY) violence that is plaguing Philly.
I refuse to return home...even to pay respects to my late mother. (I stopped the family tradition after my mother died on Valentine's Day 1992.) No excuse or offer to think it over will convince me.
Cosby will die...fine.
Will is a cuck...not my problem.
Athletes get traded or shamed for something...whatever.
I won't be food for the viscous wolves.
I don't care if I am called 'Lame,' 'Uncle Tom,' Coon,' Etc. (I got called EVERY name during Marine Corps Boot Camp, so it bounces off me.)
@@Blktxdom2004 i cant say much about the violence. As far as i know an remember its always been this bad
As a guy who loves Philly and visits there often ; it's gonna be hard to fix Philly lol. That place is nuts but what kills me is 95% of PA is actually nice but when u get to Philly, dat mug is like Gotham city
Earl Lewis what tradition...and do you ‘vicious’?
I had no intention of going to college until the Cosby show. I was Theo. His legacy still lives on in my success! Don't believe the hype. They tried this same ish with malcolm and martin. Divide and conquer.
awesome, Jay!
This video was a good nugget of valuable information. Thank you
Cosby is a legend, and like always we can’t stand correction specially when it comes from our own.
I am pleased with his honesty and being forthright on this issue. It’s time for the blame game to stop. We’ll spend our last paycheck to buy our children the latest fashion tennis shoe or Xbox and no time to ensure they get a quality education. Our grandparents and great grandparents would’ve loved to have the opportunities that we have today. They fought their way from slavery and now we are enslaving ourselves with in our communities because of missed opportunities, bad choices, irresponsibility. We are better than that!
Very inciteful Great post
Thank you for this video! Thank you
