Bill Cosby addressing Jesse Jackson’s PUSH conference in Chicago this week:

It is almost analgesic to talk about what the white man is doing against us, and it keeps a person frozen in their seat. It keeps you frozen in your hole that you are sitting in to point up and say, ‘That’s the reason why I am here.’

It’s all good:

Stop beating up your women because you can’t find a job.

Let me tell you something, your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it’s cursing and calling each other n—— as they’re walking up and down the street,” Cosby said during an appearance at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition & Citizenship Education Fund’s annual conference. “They think they’re hip,” the entertainer said. “They can’t read; they can’t write. They’re laughing and giggling, and they’re going nowhere.

Dogs, water hoses that tear the bark off trees, Emmett Till. And you’re going to tell me you’re going to drop out of school? You’re going to tell me you’re going to steal from a store?
