NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Entertainer Bill Cosby urged New Orleans' black population on Saturday to cleanse itself of a culture of crime as it rebuilds from the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina last year.
Cosby, whose criticism of some aspects of modern African-American culture has stirred controversy in recent years, told a rally headed by black leaders that the city needed to look at the "wound" it had before Katrina struck.
"It's painful, but we can't cleanse ourselves unless we look at the wound," Cosby told the rally of about 2,000 people in front of the city's convention center.

Which issue will explode first? Illegal invaders or NO?
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Let's see who follows.
I wish Cosby would come to Houston and have a little talk with the New Orleans transplanted blacks about cleansing themselves of a culture of crime since our crime rate has risen 20% since their arrival.
Got to hand it to the Coz on this one. A voice of reason was needed --- but will it be heeded? Geez, I'm rhyming like Jesse Jackson ... need more coffee!
not many.....
"New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who is black and faces 21 challengers in his re-election campaign, said not enough was being done to guarantee a fair vote."
Translation: If I don't win, it wasn't fair..
Bill Cosby is right. And everybody knows he's right. Staying away from politics makes him bulletproof.
I would like, to talk to yooohooo...
He might want to deliver the same message to the Louisiana politicians.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you had the highest murder rate, unto each other. You were dealing drugs to each other. You were impregnating our 13-, 12-, 11-year-old children," he said.
"What kind of a village is that?" (Cosby)

A village of idiots, Mr. Cosby, A village of idiots led by Idiots.

Nice to hear such truth for a change. Unfortunately if Bill was white he'd be labeld a racist and a bigot.
Don't worry. The welfare pimps have their investigators out and about to find more damaging info about Cosby. You don't think these stories about sexual harassment or out of wedlock kids appear by accident?
Fortunately, Bill Cosby isn't white. I'll applaud whoever speaks the truth, whatever their color.
There are tons of jobs available in the NO area and Biloxi.
They pay $100 a day, plus $35 for food, plus free hotel.
That comes out to about $40K a yr.
How come these hurricane "refugees" aren't down there working?

Because they're getting more that without working from the govt for being "victims"? (sad but true)
