You people are not getting my point at all. Bill Cosby's anger is not going to change the hearts and minds of children in todays society. If you want real change without turning this into taking children from their homes or creating booty camp like orphanage then we must explain why they are the way they are.

No one can keep you down but yourself. a generation did let them down it's called their parents who allowed them to slip into this gansta bullshit.

[diversitytvnet]

Yes, I would say the same thing to them. If the allowed what we see today..

[LeelaDebris]

speak on it!

There's a phrase that young people like to use now that goes "keepin' it real" and I've also heard the term "real talk". That's what Cosby has been doing. You can't get to some people any other way. Another way to put it is "tough love". No body wants to hear that they've been f'in up, but sometimes that's exactly what you need to hear.

People have been talking to black people like the commentator has said, and it hasn't worked either. Bill Cosby when he produced A Different World proabably did more to change young black kids perception of higher education than any living human being,

Hats off to my brothers and sisters leaving all the posetive and intelligent comments in suport of Bill. I am so proud!

Bill is mad and pissed just like my parents who love me to death get pissed and go off on me when I'm acting a fool. He's mad and angry because he cares about what we are doing to ourselves. Those who don' t speak up vigilantly, don't give a crap about our self destruction. There are plenty of blacks celebs in big houses and limos who never speak out because they don't give a rats azsh*! about us! Why not down them instead of the man who's trying to help? You're a Fool!

@SAMLLC67 How 'bout both approaches working in tandem? A lot of these kids do need a history lesson and a lot need a good kick in the backside as well. Many DO know HOW they got there but are using that as an excuse. Keep blaming the white man and the system. Yeah there is a system in place but why aren't you something about it? That's right, you need a sobering message like Mr Cosby is delivering. There are too many black leaders feeding this victim mentality in black people.

@murphyferret69 YOUR THE MORON....

@carl1095 I find it hard to believe some of the responses. Carl, Bills methods just isn't going to work with the kind of kids and families he is referring to. People in these kinds of situations must understand HOW THE HELL THEY GOT THERE, to ever go through the process of healing. Bills tough love approach is just going to piss them off and may get him SHOT...

Troy Shaw, you are what's wrong with people today. As soon as a black man tries to be pro-active in doing something for himself or for the plight of black people, you get black individuals such as yourself bringing him down instead of supporting him. You Troy Shaw are exactly like the kid who calls the other kid who is studying, "trying to act white". Bro, just shut up & go crawl under a rock. You're useless to black people.
