Cosby on Parenting 3

[samdunaway0496]

what a good spokes person !

[dinahany2000]

Thanks for the info..



[stevaoify]

Great speech

[Jeannenyc57]

Love, Love, Love HIM! BILL COSBY FOR PRESIDENT! 2012!

[107Ryebread]

Pure truth, neighborhood watch programs are great ways to start this kind of parenting.

[sprimusp1]

The same people who got mad at Bill Cosby for telling the truth about the problems he sees for his people would do the same to Martin Luther King if he was still alive today and spoke the truth to his people.

[thisgame2]

i saw what he says and they call me racist, no im a realist. i think theres a weird hatred for a strong man black or white. If your spines not broken and you have morals they think you are a caveman living in a by gone era

[Juggalomayone1988]

THE BEST! BRAVO BILL!!

[Juggalomayone1988]

THE BEST!

[MakeAGameWithMe]

Its so true what Cosby says, and i can so relate to that he who made the gameboy had to studied hard to be able to make the gameboy. I have wanted to make games since i was 4 years old, now 20years later i will soon reales my first one and it feels great and i worked hard to get here!=)

[thisgame2]

@MakeAGameWithMe MAZALTOV  on your hard work ,

[MakeAGameWithMe]

@thisgame2 Thanks=)

[berlinbrownin]

bravo!this is what should be flooding tv and radio.

[Flianzd]

BRILLIANT!!!!

[blkplaguelmc]

Man is a genius

[MondoBeno]

Cosby's message is for whites too. I see white kids doing terribly at school, and the parents do one of two things;

1. scream at the kid, scream, scream, and scream some more.

2. say "oh, I just wish I could find a school that could handle him.

[xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx]

@MondoBeno the message is for everybody. it doesn't matter what your skin looks like we all have brains and we all have the ability to use them

[kickboxer92000]

Now that's how an old man suppose to talk.. Bill Cosby is a FRiend..

[Zeplinsofcake]

Ye SEE, I though Bill Cosby was just a crazy guy with a funny voice but after listening to this I realise he's just a good man, who has a postion of influence trying to make a difference, he's a good man. Kudos.

[holyghostchick]

WOW!!!! Such powerful words of wisdom coming from such a wise man - Bill Cosby really hit the nail on the head and looked at every angle, and turned over every stone!!! Spoken so freely and so truthfully - well done!

[49jubilee]

This filth is causing early puberty, in my opinion......people are starting to develop as early as 9!! My daughter didn't hit puberty until 13.....i supervised what she WATCHED

[Tiramees]

That was beautiful.

He is so much like my father, down to the way he speaks.

[saaieshithier]

Much respect for this man. A true person.

[level242]

I just finished reading a biography on Bill Cosby and Dr.Cosby said that ANYONE who drops out of high school who is capable of graduataing from school yet don't graduate from school are commiting a mental sin.

[bunnybaby811]

The whole world has gone to crap... Every where you go theres twisted views on sex and life and love and everything people are so confused....:(

[COVENTRYSUCKS]

Great Man, and a great comic, come to England Bill and sort out the kids over here, they're just as bad!!

[ficeboldnice]

seen all 3 n its a great video

[ministerkareemc]

parents should start being charged with the crimes their children commits... this would bring about better parenting...

[Oreoreogirl]

kids, my age, im 14, are all ready going insiane. foul language, speaking with contempt talking back to their prrents, being lead away from what is right! i try to lead by example, being a good person. and im not speaking bad language, im not begging for money, im tellinh my parents i love them, i listen.

[davluc1]

unfortunatly kids nowadays are learning the fowl language from the parents. i have seen many parents curse at there children while beating on them thru the super market. to many parents say do as i say insted of as i do, such as cosby that will say "damn" in front of children while critisizing it if the child says it. the hypocracy must stop if we are to set examples for our children.

[TheKurtChaney]

bill cosby is a great roll model. damn isnt a bad word.

[guidav123]

so you would be ok with your three year old using often? if "damn" isnt a bad word then why do most schools suspend children for using it?

[TheKurtChaney]

whats worse. damn.... or cocksucker motherfucker cum cock and pussy.

[guidav123]

i see your point but where do you draw the line? im just saying dont do anything in front of the children that you dont want them doing. lead by example.

[TheKurtChaney]

yeah thats also good.. you have to use all sorts of diffrent methods. but a spanking is always beter that a time out in my book.. and im not talking about a beating . just and old fashioned whoopin. i didnt like when i was getting it but didnt grow up to hate my parents. i learned to respect them and love them more becaues they didnt try to buy my love .

[guidav123]

I disagree, a old fashioned whoopin is also a hipocritical double standard. if whoopins are a symbol of love then if you love your parents whoop them for there own good. after all if its really only harmless discipline then there will be no harm done.

[TheKurtChaney]

thats retarded... the parents have alredy went through their learning stage. so they dont need a spankintg... come on really. their isnt anything wrong with spanking a child if they are misbehaving.

[guidav123]

i guess if your a stupid child that fails to see the hipocracy in it. but as a child i never thought about what i did wrong i was to busy analyzing the parent for handling the problem through such a violent manner. instead of learning from the spanking i was to busy asking whats wrong with this idiot, why are they so out of control with there emotions and actions. they clearly need more guidance then me.

[TheKurtChaney]

o my bad i thought i was commenting on a diffrent message... id say damn is about the worst a person should say infront of a kid . but its upto the parent.

[Atilaurakiss]

Where? My daughter was assisting kindergarten when she was a senior. The child swore at her and the teacher did NOTHING.

[guidav123]

when i was in school the teachers would swear at the students and of course the students couldnt do anything about it.

[MondoBeno]

Are Black people taking Cosby's message to heart? If so, it seems like White people are going the opposite way.

White towns are becoming infested with cristal meth. In the corn states, you have towns where every house stinks from the "rolliing meth labs."

[lotsandlotsofbubbles]

bill cosby=infinite wisdom

[dovie2blue]

This is indeed, Satan's finest hour.

[TruSciencePro]

What a great man. Ive always loved Bill Cosby. A great family man, comedian, and role model. The degeneration of our culture is coming faster and faster. I hope the people who watch this take a lesson from it.

[sukoutoshindo]

I don't know why he hasn't ran for some political office yet. He'd easily win, but then again, people don't like honesty and logic. I'd probably vote for him if I could, even though we might be on completely different sides of the political spectrum.

[utubeissad]

George Carlin did a great routine about the audacity of Americans who claim that they want "honest" politicians. He said if politicians really WERE honest, and we REALLY knew what their lives are or were, the country would collapse. So true. I think Cosby is the greatest. What he's saying isn't rocket science. We know it's true. We've just gotten unbelievably lazy as a society. Cosby running for office? Because of his past, republicans wouldn't allow him to get past first base.

[aryonas]

I find what you said interesting, but what did you mean about his past hindering the political aspect? Simply because he was only a comedian or..? thx

[utubeissad]

Cosby was accused of fathering an illegitimate child during an extramarital affair in the late 70's. He admitted to the affair, but not the child. There were never any tests done to prove whether or not the child was really his. The girl who claimed that Cos was her father was arrested for extortion about ten years ago. That would probably keep him from running for any public office. I still love the man...

[aryonas]

Ahh, thank you very much. Tragic, that he chose such a path, but none the less I too adore him.

[Atreus21]

I'm a hardcore republican, and I've vote for him before the second coming of Reagan.

[dovie2blue]

Yeah, what if HE ran for President??!! Can you imagine the State of the Union Address? He'd have everyone rolling in the aisles and he'd have everyone working WITH him.

[RancidBlowfishNews]

what a crock of shit.

I was with him up until the point he started advocating censoring your kids from the world around them. you do your kids no service by stunting their understanding of the world.

[sukoutoshindo]

Then all the stupidity in the world will help them? Like he said, help them grow. So that once the grow they can be smart enough to understand how idiotic the world can be. I don't think that is stunting their understanding of the world.

[Griever0510]

You do your children a disservice by ignoring what they have access to, allowing them to gain harmfully close-minded cynicism so prominently displayed all around the world. Without a solid baseline provided by the parents, the children will not be ready to make their own opinions and decisions on life, all they'll do is reenact what they have seen, which, more often than not, is self-centered and harmful to society and themselves.

[Ramzee93]

My god! If this will help you understand then I hope it's worth my time:

Children are like a computer connected to the Internet, but without a firewall and vulnerable to the rest of the huge network filled with everything ranging from good to bad.

The parents got to step in front of the computer, and put up their firewall, until Children's are sophisticated enough and advanced enough to protect themselves.

I hope you understand or else I don't wish you good.

[joel2540]

BILL COSBY FOR PRESEDENT

[huttwigley]

This is great! Thanks for psoting this, Bob! Cosby is a pelethora of sage-like advice!

[AnimeTalk]

hes a wise man

[Mesuni]

My god I could never be a teacher! The crap they put up with. First week of school-every year I see the same thing. The trouble making, annoying kids always prod at the teacher the first week and if that teacher doesn't push back for the rest of the year that student will do as they please. I sit back in class and I watch everybody go about their business and Bill Cosby pretty much hits the nail on the head. Things ARE like this and it IS ridiculous. It's not racism-it's the honest frank truth.

[MondoBeno]

Yes, schools are a mess. But there are ways to deal with it. We need to see more teens using birth control. Keeping abortions legal is great, but not enough. We need to see more girls using Norplant, Birth Control Pills, and IUD's. A teenage girl who gets pregnant loses opportunities.

[Mesuni]

*to MondoBeno* (in case it puts it ahead instead of as a reply)

Eh, really it should all start at the parents like Bill Cosby says. That's like, my mom has always taught me don't have a kid unless you're ready to take on the responsiblility of raising another life and doing it right...just my opinion! ^.^

[MondoBeno]

You're right, the parents have to be the ones reading the riot act.

But we can't make that happen quick enough. I could never persuade parents to take care of themselves or their children.

Birth control is quick and long-lasting relief, just in case the parents can't do the right thing.

[Nigerianborn]

WHAT A GREAT MAN!

[Igetpaiddaily]

It's always good to see good videos...

[MondoBeno]

Finally he makes a comment about White kids. He's right on about Columbine. How come those parents didn't know their kids were playing with weapons? How come they didn't know they were collecting firearms? Why were they so oblivious to their kids' lives?

[LifesaGardenDigit1]

What about every 'hood in America where black kids are shooting eachother daily over stupid stuff like gang colors, money, turf wars, drugs?? Did their parents know they were playing with weapons, robbing and slinging dope?? Were their parents even around? Do their parents care? Does not matter what color one is. It is what is in your heart and what you live and die for..

[FiRsTClass101]

Youth Needs To Come To Church More, That's Why They're "BORED" and do drugs,crime,and all other sorts of violence, without an enemy you have no future, defend yourself when you are put down, SAY NO TO VIOLENCE, What's So Cool About Raping,Killing,Cursing,Abusing­, and Discrimination..Laughing About It Is Not the Answer..Unite As a Nation..Love and Respect Each Other..Atleast RESPECT

[JeremyForest]

I agree with you 100%. It is very sad about this epidemic. Try living in Chicago, where there is a gun violence epidemic in the Chicago Public Schools. Where you have after school programs taking away, a lot of foreclosures, unemployment, poverty that is high, and the school system one of the worse in the country.

[Noob1335]

Sure, churches used to be good places.

But now, it's the big playground for rapists and pedophiles.

It's the truth.

[BigOldScout]

Where do you get that experience from? The side of the media that only wants to report bad things? Have you been to a church? I started going to church when I was 16. (My parents never went.) It was nice. I never got bored. I even found my first real steady girl friend. She was considered the prettiest girl in our school.

[Vremedon]

Wow, that's incredibly witty, clever and original.

How's that routine on airline food coming?

[LifesaGardenDigit1]

Yes you are correct. It is not uncommon to find sinners in church.

[kmlipe]

bill cosby has nailed the nail on the head get your bible out you will see if you read it hes talking about biblical teaching on child raising

[Pam4Rob]

Bill could not be more correct int the things he says, Back in the 60's people were worried about Drugs, and Elvis being satan, well back then they didn't have to worry about sending their kid to school, and having some kid who has shitty parents that come in Blasting all the classrooms with AK 47's Hes right, People need to pay more attention to their kids. and watch what they do. Things are only going to get worse.

[10fDemdays]

Pam4Rob Bill Cosby should have stuck to what he did the best which was make us laugh for 30 years, He never talks about how his son was murdered by the same people he bashes and criticize us for on there behalf.

[FRANCESDANIELL]

how could parents help their kids grow to their potential without sheltering them?? i have a child on the way and plan on telling the realities of life in form of preparation..street smart in my life has benefitted me, i dogded rape attempts like 4xs as a teenager and yet still kept my book smart..of course there are things i choose to do diff but i believe those situations i were in not doing what did could easily have caused rape, badly beaten or even death.

[bekkynixon]

Yes, there's being 'real' and there's traumatising! It's finding an appropriate balance between having your child educated and having your child know too much, because kids these days really do know far too much and it's very unhealthy.

[ruithil]

Don't know about y'all, but in my opinion this man has done so much to heal racial wounds. Has brought Americans back together because he believes in a person being the best he can be and in succeeding no matter what his position, disadvanted and poor or rich and privileged. His support of the family and integrity in the family unite is pretty much unmatched. Mr. Cosby, I salute you.

[pati253624]

Mr. Cosby is rigt names like shanika, shanannai whatever, why put that opsticle on your precious child and give them these names? will they succeed with that name? Famous person with Shannani, Comedy show MAD TV. Come on People!!!

[pati253624]

Mr. Cosby is rigt names like shanika, shanannai whatever, why put that opsticle on your precious child and give them these names? will they succeed with that name? Famous person with Shannani, Comedy show MAD TV. Come on Peopl!!!

[FRANCESDANIELL]

no the issue at hand is not the name but why is that name thought of this way and that...i will name my child as i please and he will be judged on his character not his name...again you white ppl want other to change to your standards bobs and sarahs

[michaeldc2b]

francesdaniell, us white people and you black people have always embraced names like bob and sarah. granted, the black bob became robert, just as the black jim became james, etc. what happened that made these differences in names no longer 'enough' of a differentiation or distinction?

[manbearpigdg]

I don't get why people are complaining about this man. Nothing of what he said in this is racial. It's not a black/white issue or discussion.....it's PARENTING!! Last I checked, parenting is not done by any particular race, and this man has some pretty good points!

[ketket1]

The main people that are offended by what he is saying are the people that he is talking about...Most of the black people that are doing what they should be doing agree with him

[lorrainegate]

Man speaks the truth!!!!!

[lifelikelite]

Great talk!

[lifelikelite]

i really like this! great talk!

[happycatpanda]

just messin with ya people HIS SHIRT DOESNT SAT ASS but seriously this guy speakes the trouth!!!

[docbeepsjb]

Who could have said it better? :)

[happycatpanda]

HIS SHIRT SAID ASS!!!!:D

[chewbacca328]

NO.......

[Omegax9000]

lol your stupid man lol

[Themba88]

Why has it became so fashionable to DISS a person who is talking the truth. All Cosby is asking for is that SANITY should prevail. Is that a BAD thing? Come on you'll!

[headbaboon]

Whos truth?

[Themba88]

The Universal Truth!

[headbaboon]

And you honestly believe this...does that make it true?.A good education may make it easier for a subpar or average whiteboy Reading and writing to the degree that is considerd educated is overkill and at least 50%b.s. and before you or anybody else tries to grammatically correct me Know This I Can Still OUt THInK u

[Themba88]

What are you on about? You must be a genius because I cannot understand a word you say!

[saintee1000]

But knowlege is power and if you are lacking knowledge you are missing half of the puzzle. You may be smart but if you have nothing to back that up with who is going to respect your opinions?

[headbaboon]

Why is it that all white people think biLL is Sooo GREAT.Here are some facts that you can dispute but you cant disprove.Black,african africanmerican,negro or whatever else they that call the shots chose to call us ARE STILL THE MOST POLITE FAIR HONEST GROUP OF PEOPLE WHEN IT COMES TO HOW WE TREAT OTHERS...But remember this however messed up you think we are we aint as messed up as BILL.

[sigsegv11]

He's not talking about how you treat others. He's talking about how you treat yourselves.

[lazarus0202]

@Themba88 You are right. 110%. I am proud that I graduated fom the same education dept. as Dr. Cosby. He's very perceptive and honest.

[cobrabase]

@Themba88

People DIS the truth because they fear it or needed it previously, didn't learn it, and wish they had.

[blackmoses75]

And I guess your parents can do the same thing PrettyRonnie90? That's ashamed that you said that. He's trying to wake parents up and these kids of today.

[PrettyRonnie90]

bill cosby can suck my dick!!!!!

[originaldna]

hmm,wonder why you want a man to suck your dick.

I guess either you or your kids will be someone's bitch in jail.

This is long over do; parents are to lazy now a days.

[Omegax9000]

sounds like one of yours does.

[happycatpanda]

hey thers no need to be rude

[Pharoahbuddaswife]

did you happen to read what you wrote..because your comment is unintelligent and simply juvenile. If you don't have a solution...hmmm you're probably a part of the problem. Bill Cosby is talking about an epidemic in the African American community because if something positive doesn't happen soon we will revert as a people..and times will be worse than pre-1950s. If you can't say something intelligent than shut the hell up! We have anough negativity as it is.

[maribelle777]

You're a moron

[Omegax9000]

lol eddie murphy said the same thing i agree with sum of this but not all bc not everyone is playing fair and getting real is the only way some times

[jduggie]

this man is soo deep. always love a lil cosby

[rebharath]

thanks for posting this.

[fffffffffffffuuuuuuu]

This is great stuff. Could I possibly get a copy of the whole thing?

[davodeky]

i like this guy,i think he represents the best of the comedians we have so far had.

[justkeesha]

We are all potential..

[Arctic2]

This is about neither black nor white parenting, rather ALL parenting. As A kid I can say I agree with him. I can note whole "bribary" aspect that parents use these days. Can't say our house is any different. Oh well.. me and one of my brothers are turning out all right.. the other is a poster child for what bill is talkin about.

[MrC0pt3r]

The people talking about white parents not 'disciplining' their kids, come down south for a while, seriously, I don't know where you're seeing that, but it's different here.

[dltabor]

It's not a black or white issue, I live in a predominantly white community and the poor parenting he speaks of abounds. I agree this message is universal.

[mohawkstrip]

so damn true

[Machetazo1]

Cosby is REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, there IS a difference in white parenting and black disciplining.

[bongiwe]

Poor parenting is one of the greatest downfalls of any decaying society. It's a slippery slope, when parents top being being parents.The decay of the family starts the decay of the community, and the society suffers.

[generalnazor]

This is exactly what I was looking for!

[RatkoUSA]

Amen, Bob, great lecture. A lot of us have had our chance, made our contributions, or lack of contribution, times about up, and I just got to say I'm ashamed of my generation. The kids are the only hope now. God bless you Bill Cosby. Thank you Bob Parks. God bless both of you.

[octavio247]

Cosby is A smart man not only does he know how to teach our kids and their parents what life & parenting is about. Not too many people in show biz have the guts to speak up about what society is turning to.

He is a wise man. Good advice.

[TeeJaiMcGee]

Listen

[gtojuice]

I wish the Latino community had a leader like this.

[TeeJaiMcGee]

you do I know him, his name is George Lopez.

[CutterXYZ]

Why should he be the leader of one or another "comunity"? What he says is universal and applies to anyone.

[Machetazo1]

Yeah but the white community is too busy firing up their grills and secluding their yards from each other to actually have any direct impact on the american pie-type things their boys do and the "hooking up" their girls are doing.

[bongiwe]

his message is universal

[Machetazo1]

Yo I'm not white nor black, but one thing's for sure... my white friends walked all over their parents, had sex in thier house and BEDS, and stole from them. My black friends' parents, I never wanted to mess with them!!!! They were no joke.Their wrong side is a bad place to be!!

[ParadigmShift302]

True that! Sounds like my parents and neighbors! :-)

Peace!

[TheKnightWolf]

Cosby speaks the truth.
