You'd think that guys like Jackson , Sharpton and Cosby would have learned their lesson after this bitch and Tawanda Brawley .
Cosby did learn. When the Tawana Brawley story first came out, it tugged at everyone's heartstrings, including Cosby's. But as the story unfolded, or rather fell apart, he quickly and quietly backed away from it. Cosby's taken quite a bit of heat from the black community for going off the plantation and stating very plainly that blacks have problems within their communities, and those problems aren't whites or racism or any other such nonsense. IIRC, two of the problems within the black community Cosby identified were the lack of respect for education, for thinking that educational achievement was 'too white', and the fact that black men have to take more responsibility and quit being 'baby daddy' with multiple women, that is, marriage needs to make a comeback within the black community and child rearing needs to become a focal point in black parents' lives. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Bill Cosby for telling it like it is.
