So? what about the 1950’s? He was exactly living large then, and he didn’t confirm himself to only integrated areas. Even in 1966 there were places like hotels he was not welcome.

Actually he was doing great in Philadelphia in the 1950s.

Some of you, mostly young, have been taught that what it was like in the deep South, was what it was like throughout the United States.

If Cosby and his wife are the racists they are accused of being, that is their own character flaw, it wasn’t imposed on them.

“”As a student, he described himself as a class clown. Cosby was the captain of both the baseball team and the track and field team at Mary Channing Wister Public School in Philadelphia, as well as the class president. Early on, though, teachers noted his propensity for clowning around rather than studying. At FitzSimons Junior High School, Cosby began acting in plays as well as continuing his devotion to playing sports. He went on to Central High School, an academically challenging magnet school, but his full schedule of playing football, basketball, baseball, and running track made it hard for him.””
