yes because Bill Cosby is the type than make white previldge types like yourselves comfortable:
"Instead of taking the opportunity to discuss the ongoing struggles for educational equity, or to address the remaining barriers of unequal funding, racially-disparate tracking and discipline, and other obstacles to meaningful parity in our nation’s schools, Cosby spent his time bashing the black poor,"
"t was a truly classist diatribe, littered with inaccurate stereotypes, all of which proved that Cosby hasn’t known many poor black folks for a very long time, since only a small percentage of low-income African Americans commit crime, most actually place a high value on education, and only a small percentage get pregnant as minors, contrary to Cosby’s apoplectic rant."
"Black and brown poor folks are doing self-help all the time, contrary to the common media imagery. They have to; after all, they have enough experience with white institutions to know that such institutions have never done much to improve their situation, and nothing at all unless it was demanded and unless they were mobilized collectively to make it happen. But I see very little self-help or even self-reflection in the white community. Rarely do we spend time dealing with our own internalized racial biases and fears, or the discrimination that continues to plague people of color, and which only we have any control over, since the folks doing the discriminating are white like us. In fact, not only do we not reflect on it, we get angry when someone brings it up, which is why whites breathe a collective sigh of relief when someone like Cosby comes along and allows us to think our jobs are over."
