Remember when the legendary actor/entertainer/philanthropist Bill Cosby said...

I don't think so.

Nothing changes ... when I was in college in the 60s/70s .... the cry was "whitey has kept me down" yet if a black person 'made it' it was because they were a sell out.
Any attempt at stands were considered 'white'.
I scrubbed toilets and waited tables to earn money for college, big deal it took me five years instead of four ... I did it.
The blacks I went to school with seemed to think it was beneath them to work for a college degree.
Ok, I know there must be some who did not feel that way, but .. I never meet any.
When I was in high school in the 60s, the kids I went to school with (very poor community - black and white) did not act as though they had a sense of privilege / entitlement... I do not know what happened in such a short time.

In my opinion Cosby is a living legend, and I enjoy his work.

"I don't think so."

Were you in a coma during the 80s?

Mr. Cosby had the most popular sit com of the decade and mainstreamed the comedy concert film with the presentation of "Himself"

I feel sorry for the fact you were either unconscious or have no sense of humor.
