Cosby was an avowed race man, who, like much of his generation, had come to feel that black America had lost its way. The crisis of absentee fathers, the rise of black-on-black crime, and the spread of hip-hop all led Cosby to believe that, after the achievements of the 1960s, the black community was committing cultural suicide.

And Bill Cosby would be right.

These Cosby rants are extraordinary -- and extraordinarily entertaining, too (because he hits the nail right on the head in a way that very few people can).

These are the words of someone who feels utterly betrayed by "his people" because he himself marched in the civil rights era and had rocks thrown at him for daring to think that black kids had a right to be educated, too . . . only to look around him and see a black culture in which education, literacy, and standards of decency are actually MOCKED.

Sportswriter Jason Whitlock (a black man himself) described black culture today as "counter-evolutionary."
