True, and thank God that some are responding to our moment in history with whatever personal courage they can muster.
Sounds like Cosby has got right to me.Them race baiting bozos aren't going to like him.
It was a pretty good role model for white families too. Who wouldn't want the life of the Cosby's? (I loved that show!)
He's very liberal. But I always thought he was one of those blacks that voted reflexively Demo, because so many of his thoughts are conservative thoughts.
I remember when he talked about how his parents would get paid off, and get picked up in a car to go vote on Election Day for the Democrat. He said everyone would wait for their dollar (they would get a dollar each for voting).
I thought, hmmm, a lot of people probably don't want that voiced.
"Add one more to the Republicans-who-live-in-Hollywood list. (How many is that now? Five?) The ever-shrinking Lara Flynn Boyle tells Us Weekly that Democrat John Kerry ain't her man. "I'm Irish Catholic, so a Democrat by blood," Jack Nicholson's former flame reveals, "but I'm 100 percent for Bush. I want my president to be like my agent: Not afraid of people, but wants my best interest."
Good for Lara! She is one hollywood's so-called "bad girls"..smokes, party's and doesnt care what anybody thinks about it.
That can't be easy to pull off.
His television show was a bit canned and dull, but it was good at heart. My grandmother used to go to tapings. My dad went to school with him at Temple for about a year.
Incorrect. That post was completely true.
Nothing scares a black guy worse than being arrested or confronted by a black policeman. The black police exhibit a certain intollerance of their own's doing's. They tend to go heavy on the club like it's some sort of redeeming therapy settling a score with those who do their race a disservice.
Yup, it aint exactly a real degree. Not Batchelor's, Not Master's and not Doctorate.
Still, an Ed. D. isn't like a law degree, where getting one makes you dumber than when you started.
"He won't come near smoke 'n fire and Jello!"
"You've got to have baby-coach wheels"
"ya' put a bullet in the furnace, it'll explode"
(tink tink tink tink BOOM tink tink "snicker" tink tink)
Thanks for sharing that story. I think we've learned here is "a little bribery goes a long way." LOL.
This I must give Cosby credit for - If he can have an audience in stitches without gross out shock "humor" with frequent use of obscenities, he is far more intelligent than most of the other "comedians" out there.
We have a summer theatre-in-the-round in our town. Cosby appears virtually every summer to sold out crowds. My former neighbor managed this place for many years and got to know the celebrities pretty well. She said that far and away Cosby was the WORST. Rude and very unpleasant. Coming in a very close 2nd...no surprise..Diana(don't dare look at me) Ross.
If he was a common liberal, his show would have had one of his daughters getting an abortion and the son coming out of the closet and bringing his gay lover home to sleep. No liberal could produce a show that had such good family values --- those kids weren't being handed money by their parents or encouraged to seek a life of welfare handouts. It's like deep-down he is a Conservative.
'Not practicing law' is one of the highest callings a person can have.
