Back when The Cosby Show was on my mother related to me that she had read that one of Bill Cosby's demands when staying at a hotel was to have two white women brought to his room. At the time I dismissed what she told me, cuz hey, Bill Cosby was the man who never swore on any of his albums or at his concerts and he did the Cosby Show as a response to all the crap TV that made Dad's look like fools. Plus, he went back to college and got a Phd in education. How could he actually be so low class to make such a demand?
Cosby is just like OJ. White people came to know and respect both of them just after all the race riots of the late 60s. Hey, most of us did not really know Black people, but Cosby and OJ helped us around that.
It is nothing but a damn shame.
OJ and Cosby really did fall VERY far. A lot of fame and fortune can allow the worst in people to be tolerated too long. It is a shame that what were thought to be strong, good black male role models ended up poisonous criminals.
