From Cosby’s Facebook page:

I agree with President Carter that racism is playing a role in recent outbursts against President Obama. During President Obama’s speech on the status of health care reform, some members of congress engaged in a public display of disrespect. While one Representative hurled the now infamous “you lie” insult at the President, others made their lack of interest known by exhibiting rude behavior such as deliberately yawning and sending text messages ….

Its racism that got him in there. (97% of the black community voted for the skin and not the man, and he aint even black!)

Now there is a huge marxist infection in the Whitehouse which coincidentally is not white.

I had hope for Cosby but this takes care of that. 'AJ in Houston' knows what's going down.

I know some security people at Kodak who told me that one of the reasons E.K. dropped Cos as spokesman was that he refused to let white people on the set when they were filming the ads.

I don't believe it. We don't know who's on the other end typing out that stuff. Bill Cosby deserves the benefit of the doubt here; everything he has demonstrated, both in words and actions, shows that in spite of race, he knows the possibility as an American. BO goes against the very philosophy that has put Bill Cosby in ‘hot water’ with the black community. OK there's my naivete’ again......

Bill,

You have been one of the few sane voices out of the black community on this topic, I’m sorry to hear you buying into this crap suddenly.

“guess I better go starch my sheets!”

No! Don’t starch your Klan robes!

They must flow freely as you ride on horseback through the Southern night!

However, the pointed hat will definitely need heavy starch to withtstand the windstream as you gallop along.

From later in Cosby's Facebook entry, per Breitbart:

Various polls prior to the election indicated that between five and ten percent of Americans would never vote for an African American president. That number, of course, only includes those who actually admitted to their prejudice. How many others harbored such feelings but did not respond honestly when asked the question? And how many people oppose Obama’s plan because the President is African American?

We would be dancing in the streets celebrating the dawning of government control of our health care if only Barack Obama were white. It would be just dandy if government bureaucrats rationed health care for our parents, as long as the president is white.

I remember Hillary rolling her eyes and yawning during W’s state of the union address. I guess this was acceptable behavior.

Wish I’d recorded the Democrats when Bush was trying to make a speech.

Was Cosby racist when he told black kids to stop listening to rap, pull up their pants, and do homework.

What a tool. Shame on you, Bill.

So, is yawning, too, a censurable offense? How about playing solitaire on your computer? How about picking your nose? Scratching your butt? So, the only really allowable response is adoration?

Ahhh, I get it now. String me up too, then.

Bill, Democrats used to show disrespect all the time during Bush’s speeches. What else is new?

"And very sadly I must rebuke Dr. Cosby."

Don't be so sad. He lost me after he cheated on his wife.
