Unrepentant old rapists aren’t funny. Nor are they good media investments. Karma has caught up
with Bill Cosby, who slandered the Black poor as amoral criminals, but “will never have another
television show or book on the best seller list and that is as it should be.”
“Looking at the incarcerated, these are not political criminals. These are people going around
stealing Coca Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! Then we
all run out and are outraged, “The cops shouldn't have shot him.” What the hell was he doing with
the pound cake in his hand?” – Bill Cosby
“He really only cared about pleasing white people.”
No one is more deserving of public scorn and ignominy than Bill Cosby. The poisonous words he
directed at black people make him unfit for sympathy or protection from the group which he has
dedicated himself to slandering.
The now infamous speech and Cosby’s recent disgrace are worth remembering in light of the death
of Michael Brown. Brown didn’t have pound cake in his hand when he was shot to death by a police
man, and he was a small child when Cosby said those words, but he is certainly one of those whom
Cosby found unworthy of regard should he be killed by a white man wearing a uniform.
