To hear some here,...

...it would be believed that Bill Cosby is little more than an Uncle Tom. Thing is, these remarks don't sound like Step-n-fetchit.

1. My favorite quote from that piece...

"When the hurricane struck, it did not turn the region into a Third World country … it revealed one," actor and activist Danny Glover said in a speech with Harry Belafonte in which both criticized the government, not only for the response to the hurricane but for the conditions prior to it."

People are people, people! I'm sick to death of all the social lines.

2. I heard his complete statement. He was pretty dead-on...only one

misstep, early in his remarks:

Bill Cosby played it straight as he called on the American people to hold government accountable.

"This happened to the people. The constitution says of the people, by the people, for the people," he said. "But the people who got the office, got into office and forgot about the people."

No, that phrase isn't in the Constitution. That's from the Gettysburg Address. Tempers and emotions running high excuse the confusion, though.

He was awesome to listen to that night. :)
