Jackson defended Cosby's statements. "Bill is saying let's fight the right fight, let's level the playing field," Jackson said.

The way I look at Jackson's quote, it took him exactly thirteen words to twist Cosby's words from their own meaning and to one more convenient to his own agenda.

Jackson and the others need no explanation, but a nice cup of "shut the fck up!".

Noticed that too.

"I think he voiced concerns of many of us in the African-American community," agreed Sharon Ransom, a Chicago public schools official who added that because Cosby "had the courage to make those comments, attention will be given to that segment of the community."

i think that The Reverend Jackson and this Sharon Ransom both twisted Mr. Cosby's words to fit their own agendas... what does she mean that "attention will be given to that segment of the community?" she still doesn't get it... it takes personal responsibility of the parents... accountability--is she willing to hold "that segment of the community" accountable? or does she expect "society" or the government to step in?
