Bill Cosby and Dr. Alvin Poussaint was recently on Meet the Press this past Sunday. Mr. Cosby was there to promote his new book Come On, People: On The Path From Victims To Victors. I must say Mr. Cosby had some pretty interesting things to say. I am pretty sure Dr. Michael Eric Dyson is not going to agree with the things that he was saying, but I have to admit that I agree with him. I think Mr. Cosby has paid enough dues to be able to say pretty much what he wants to say. Although I might not agree with some of the things he has done or allegedly done in his personal life it doesn't take away all the positive things he has done in the black community.
I also like what Dr. Alvin Poussaint had to say about the N-word. It was very enlightening and one I'm sure will be the topic of many conversations. So please watch the following videos and tell me what you think. Do you agree or disagree with Mr. Cosby?

i have nothing but the utmost respect for mr. cosby. i am so glad that there is someone who has the nerve to tell us about ourselves without sugar-coating. the truth hurts but we need to hear it.
airing our dirty laundry? no. it's not about exposing us because it's no secret - we need to be more concerned about what we as a people think rather what other racial groups think.
lastly, mr. cosby is from richard allen projects in north philly ... he has come a long way. he is our elder and has the right to school these younger generations. if he can't/shouldn't - then who can/should?
HSW-I agree with everything you said. I think the main problem of my generation is the fact we don't have any respect for our elders. Instead of always becoming defensive we should sit down and listen to some of the wisdom they have to bestow upon us.
