In 2004 Bill Cosby gave a scathing speech condemning much of what is going on in Black culture. Bill pointed to such tings as the drop out of school rate in the Black community, the higher level of violence in the Black culture, the lack of pride in how they present themselves, the higher use of drugs and the higher rate of fatherless homes, etc. to communicate that the majority of suffering and pain within the Black culture is self inflicted. You can blame whitey all day, and there may even be some truth to those feelings, but at the end of the day Black homes within the Black community are not going to escape such things as poverty with a fatherless rate of about 70%. It does not even work for whites.

Naturally, there was a backlash from the Left like the article above. The response from the Left was not to consider if Bill had any good points at all. No, instead the article above simply dismisses every point Bill made,. especially on some statistics he may have had wrong, and dismisses Bill as a Black and even dismisses him as a human being by pointing to him doing jail time for drugging women and then molesting them. Therefore, Bill should just drop off the face of the earth and die because of his past sins. Everything he ever said and did has now been negated for all eternity, even the money he had generously given to the Black community to help.
What I don't know, however, is if the reason why Bill is in jail is because of that Pound Cake speech. Is the Left so diabolical, so evil, that they engage in efforts to destroy people like Bill who oppose them publicly? Am I saying Bill is innocent? No. Am I saying he is guilty? No. What I am saying is that I think he opened himself as a target, and as such, it could be that the Left will either find something in a person's past that will condemn them, or if they can't find anything, will make it up. And as Bill was recently released from jail, it appears those who were out to get him went about it in an unlawful way.
