Bill Cosby is Not the Cure
An Editorial on Social Responsibility
Embed:
A large part of me really hates Bill Cosby. He's one of the most recognizable, endurable and well-respected men in the entire country. He's funnier than Dick Gregory and has an evener temper than Spike Lee. He has a better smile than Tavis Smiley's and a more naturally human eloquence than Cornel West. But Bill Cosby and I are at odds ideologically: the man uses self-reliance as an excuse to preach at my generation about what we're doing wrong without finding ways to support what we're doing right; and he does this at the behest of the NAACP and the rest of the Baby Boomers who think we need a good whupping more than a good system by which to better ourselves.
