Thanks for the link.

An Ed.D. is what people who aren't up to Ph.D. work earn. Colleges are full of them.

[AmishDude]

Thank you for responding. I remember when writing at the time that I would get some responses, but I got none. Ed.D. is a pointless degree and yet they are in charge of education schools.

The problem with education today isn't teachers, it's those who teach teachers. A Ph.D. often spends time justifying his existence and his research choices. For an Ed.D., this is a disaster. They constantly "discover" new and useless "theories" of education -- the more outlandish, the better.

Ah, I guess Coz forgot about HIS illegitimate daughter, huh?

And I just read that he donated money to that black congresswoman from CA......the one that was the only one to vote against..............shoot, now I've forgotten what she voted against......was it something about the war or the flag?

Somebody will be along to tell me. But he did donate money to her SINCE that happened.

I'm glad I scrolled all the way down before responding. Now all I need to say is

"What you said."

[FryingPan101]

Mr. Cosby is a racist. I've been privy to many interviews he has given and I came away thinking not that he was a proud, accomplished Black man, but rather...a pompous a$$ who approved of many activities such as those of Al Sharpton's. I wish they (entertainers) would all boycott themselves out of prosperity. None of them appreciate anything.

The mayor of Cincinnati is also a RAT. Why do all real problems have a RAT in the center?

Cincinnati needs a Rudy Guliani. In fact this "racial" strife all started because Cincinnati was pursuing the same program of data-driven, quality-of-life policing which has slashed crime rates dramatically in New York City, and undergirded the revival of intercity neighborhoods there.

This Coalition for a Just Cincinnati has little to do with race. It represents the pro-crime elements (and their symbiots, the poverty pimps) who opposed this program of community oriented policing, and started the riots last summer. Their program is to ensure that depressed neighborhoods in Cincinnati remain that way, so that the denizens thereof remain dependent on the (unskimmed portions of) the handouts that black "leaders" like the Rev. James. W. Jones extort from Whitey.

Excellent analysis, this should be printed in the local paper.

[OldFriend]

He's a hateful hateful person, bitter as is his wife. She spewed some amazingly anti-semitic things when the murderer of their son was caught.

Fact is tho, the paternity test was never taken and it has never been proven whether the daughter is his. He did send money ever since she was born tho. Guess it was money to keep them quiet!

e?
u?is definitely a "monolithic racist". The man has prospered beyond belief yet such behavior and attitudes only fan the fires of racism. As for the city of Cincinnati, the racism is fueled toward whites. Let them boycott, sounds like it will be a safer place to visit when the hate & race-baiting blacks take their "show" somewhere else.......The great Oz has spoken......

I heard the mayor say on the radio this morning that this cancellation means less money in the pocket of a waiter at a nearby restaurant, less work for parking attendants, etc. Some of these boycott-pushers complain about lack of jobs for the inner city, then tell moneymakers to stay away. Can't have it both ways.

Won't do no good to tell them that, or to try and persuade them or appease them as this wimpy, PC, hand-wringing excuse for a mayor is doing. The only effective policy is ZERO TOLERANCE for those who condone, enable or provoke the destruction of the citiy's neighborhoods and their productive human and physical infrastructure. The very first thing Rudy Guiliani did on assuming office was to hang a sign on his door saying AL SHARPTON NOT ALLOWED.

Agree with you wholeheartedly. At the college where my husband works, there's a woman with an Ed.D. who is called director of institutional research. No one knows what she does, but she's able to go all over the place presenting papers on whatever the Sam Hill her research has shown. Once she was taking a survey on a class breakdown of who was eating in the college cafeteria. It's not apparent how that advanced the mission of the college, to-wit, educating young heads full of mush.

If he had a contract they need to sue!

I live in the Cincy area and still can't see any sense in the boycotts. The resturaunts that first closed their doors thus parking the whole thing, did so for financial reasons. The people that normally patronized those establishments decided to stay home as the evenings activites weren't their 'cup o tea' and they didn't feel safe, so the first mentioned resturaunts lost money. As these resturants closed their doors, more followed suit and the activist hit the town!!

“I think it's evident that Bill Cosby is an independent-minded person who makes up his own mind on matters,” Mr. Brokaw said

Tawana Brawley/Al Sharpton Fraud - Bill Cosby put up $25,000 reward in this case. He also "helped" Sharpton.

That was a long time ago. That is when I lost respect for him.

Methinks you would have lost respect for him before today if you knew his partiscipation in the Tawana Brawley/Sharpton Fraud.
