"I was raised in a Democratic household," actor Joseph C. Williams told me. Williams, who appeared on the "Cosby Show," "General Hospital" and "The District," was the co-chairman of the "African Americans for Bush" steering committee. "The Republican values are the same values that are in most African-American homes. This party reflects those values much more than the opposition."

That's Joseph C. Phillips, not Williams!

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I was wondering about that too, especially after my IMDB.com research turned up Joe Williams of Cosby Show fame having passed away in 1999!

Joseph C. Phillips

I'm curious about your response to Bill Cosby's comments at Howard University?

I actually don't think he went far enough. Would love to hear what you have to say. I think Bill had better be careful lest he be labeled a conservative. I find 2 things fascinating. First the lack of outrage expressed by everyday blacks -- in fact the number of voices from the community that signified with the Cos, gives truth to John McWhorters thesis of the black silent majority. Most Black peopel recognize that the time has passed for laying all of our problems at the feet of the white racist power structure. Proof of the second part of McWhorters thesis -- that of a black double consciousness -- is to be found in how quickly Cosby began to tap dance after his remarks. There was a sense from the elite and the victocrats that while he may have been speaking truth it is better not to acknowledge such things in front of whitey. Cosby had to dance away from his remarks (the media distorted what I said etc) in order to keep his street cred. God forbid he find himself on the same side of the fence with guys like Shelby Steel and Thomas Sowell who have been saying the same thing for years!

Yep. I was just about to post that. I was kind of hoping he played Elvin. He had charisma.
