Bill Cosby takes aim at Hurricane Katrina victims!
Bill Cosby was in New Orleans on Saturday, April 1. He had some harsh words for the black residents. I would hope they listen!
Now, I am sure that I will hear that Cosby is a hypocrite for the affairs he had, but he has never blamed anyone else for his actions, nor did he deny the charges. This is a man that has earned the right to address the crowd in this tone. He fought in the trenches during the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s. He marched in the marches. He rode in the back of the bus. He drank from a separate water fountain. He has paid his dues!
Entertainer Bill Cosby urged New Orleans’ black population on Saturday to cleanse itself of a culture of crime as it rebuilds from the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina last year.
Cosby, whose criticism of some aspects of modern African-American culture has stirred controversy in recent years, told a rally headed by black leaders that the city needed to look at the “wound” it had before Katrina struck.
“It’s painful, but we can’t cleanse ourselves unless we look at the wound,” Cosby told the rally of about 2,000 people in front of the city’s convention center.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you had the highest murder rate, unto each other. You were dealing drugs to each other. You were impregnating our 13-, 12-, 11-year-old children,” he said.
“What kind of a village is that?”
