It didn't have to come up to have a discussion. Your question is insulting. What? Do you think people wouldn't have analysed his "words" the way they did had they actually read them.
Well, I read them and I was disgusted by his lack of analysis, especially given that his wife was perfectly capable of invoking the racism of this society when her son was shot.
All the things I just said to you were contained within the posts we have written to you already just never directly mentioned. Going after each point would have been a waste of time. They were Cosby's wild exagerrations based, at worst, a very tiny minority of blacks' behavior, behavior that can be found among poor whites. It's not a "black community" problem and they weren't words for the "black community." They're words meant to divide all of us by laying the blame for the so-called problem at the feet of people who, even if every last loving one of them were to speak correct English (like use word such as "impactful" or "knowledge leaders" or "incented"), wear the right clothes, and get the right kind of education --they would not all find "good" jobs. not to mention the feminist marxist argument that even when they do get "good" jobs, the mere fact of "those" people filling those jobs ends up making the job "no so good."
and on and on. we've already covered this ground. well, maybe you haven't. carry on. And try a different ratio of welch's grape with the sterno.
