Bill Cosby Tells It Like It Is

Just finished reading a barn burner of a speech given by the elder statesman of comedy, Bill Cosby. I don't agree with all the points made in the speech, but it is a very good piece of rhetoric, down to earth and speaks in language we can all easily understand.

Here's an excerpt:

I’m talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve? Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don’t know he had a pistol? And where is his father, and why don’t you know where he is? And why doesn’t the father show up to talk to this boy?

And then they stand there in an orange suit and you drop to your knees: “He didn’t do anything. He didn’t do anything.” Yes, he did do it. And you need to have an orange suit on, too.
