Bill Cosby stepped off the liberal plantation and has been outspoken about the value of family, education, and so on

I wish people would stop pushing the myth of Cosby being some sort of conservative hero. Cosby was and remains a vocal supporter of Obama, very much on "the liberal plantation." Even Jesse Jackson occasionally tells black youth to pull up their pants, stay in school, and stop running in gangs. That's about the extent of Cosby's "conservatism."

Exactly.

True, but that is not what the other poster said.

I don't think anyone is claiming Cosby is a hard core conservative.
