All of that is usually true, but what annoys me is that two of the richest entertainers in America believe that they are right to tell black folks about themselves simply because they are black and rich.
Both need to be a bit more humble.

I agree. While some of what he says is true, its not like he's led a stellar life himself. His preaching to the choir is more than a little hypocritical.

When Walter "Sweetness" Payton, rest his soul, was making public appearances before he passed, he also wore really dark sunglasses. He did so because his eyes were jaundiced from his advanced liver disease. I wonder if Bill has a similar problem.
Yeah, he's definitely drifting towards the type of old guy who stands on his porch, shaking his fist and yelling, "You kids get off my lawn!" - even when there are no kids around.

I'm a Chicagoan and a Bears fan I teared up when you mentioned Walter. But back to Mr. perfect . . . someone mentioned a couple of posts back that his eye was red. He was probably just hung over.

Anyone else freak out during Bill's "Himself" concert when he does the bit about his son's haircut and he imitates Camille saying "I want you to go upstairs and kill that boy"? Or basically when he says anything about his son? I just lose it. Such a tragedy. He gets a pass from me for that on a lot of stuff...but I draw the line at rape. All those allegations are scary.

I remember doing just that when I first watched that standup. Hysterical laughing the whole time and then just a sudden drop. I have a hard time reconcilling that man with some of the rumors, but if they are true then shame on him.

I am surprised at how inarticulate Bill Cosby is. And, he has a doctorate??. He seems to have a hard time putting a full sentence together and seems to have flights of fancy where he begins a sentence and then forgets what he is saying and then discusses another topic without context. It is really hard to follow him. Perhaps it is old age?

Thank you, luthia. He obviously possesses a mail-order doctoral degree from Temple because he cracks more verbs, murders more nouns and pronouns and just stammers and changes the subject and loses his train of thought more than any PhD I've ever known. He is just a total grammatical mess. He was on Larry King Live with his good friend and co-(ghost?) writer, Dr. Alvin Poussaint, who is still a professor of psychology at Harvard and, I declare, Bill drove me absolutely insane such that I couldn't follow a word he said and I just gave up. So now I'm doing the curmudgeon rambling just like Bill. What I want to tell y'all is that even Dr. Poussaint, his good friend, couldn't decipher Bill's gobbledy-gook, and even gave him strange looks on several occasions. Bill was totally pathetic and needs a script written for him before he appears anywhere. ETA: Oh and Bill had surgery on his eyes a couple of years ago; one was wandering around all over the place or drooping or something, so he got it fixed. Since then, he's been wearing sunglasses when inside especially when he's exposed to bright lights on studio sets.

Nusan, there's a part of Cosby's old show, "Himself", where he talks about his wife telling him to kill thier son after he got an awful haircut. The son was murdered a few years ago, and it's very strange to watch that show now and think about it.
