Bill Cosby's Real Shit
"Men, if you want to win, we can win," Cosby said. "We are not a pitiful race of people. We are a bright race, who can move with the best. But we are in a new time, where people are behaving in abnormal ways and calling it normal... When they used to come into our neighborhoods, we put the kids in the basement, grabbed a rifle, and said, 'By any means necessary.'"
I love that for the third act of his career, Bill Cosby has become an angry old man (which should not be confused with a grumpy old man) who doesn't care who he pisses off--black or white--with his furious rabble rousing. The Pound Cake Speech was four years ago and he's still swinging. I'm not saying I agree with everything he's been saying (ie. Why should a woman be automatically embarrassed to be an unwed mother in this day and age?), but it's good to see one of my favorite all-time personalties rage against the dying of the light.
"Just because he was selling pudding pops for the last 40 years, people forget he's a nigga from Philly and the projects, and he might say some real shit from time to time." -Dave Chappelle
