Bill Cosby Criticizes Black Community, Again

(Chicago, Illinois) During an appearance at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition & Citizenship Education Fund's annual conference, entertainer Bill Cosby lashed out at the black community for not blaming themselves for many of their problems. He criticized the foul-mouthed behavior that permeates black society, the inability of children learning to read and write, and the brutal relationships black men have with women. This latest upbraiding follows harsh criticism he directed toward blacks in May.

Bill Cosby's prominence and celebrity will undoubtedly put these important issues at the forefront of the national dialogue. Only good can result. With adult guidance, the black community can turn things around.
