Let’s Not Forget

Let's not forget. Let’s not forget. I've never met Bill Cosby, so I'm not defending him. Let’s just remember that he has a valuable legacy that I can't just throw away. I remember that he's the first black man to ever win an Emmy in television. I also remember that he's the first guy to make a cartoon with black characters where their lips and noses were drawn proportionately. I remember that he had a television show that got numbers equivalent to the Super Bowl every Thursday night.

And I remember that he partnered up with a clinical psychologist to make sure that there was not one negative image of African-Americans on his show. I'm telling you, that's no small thing. I've had a television show. I wouldn't have done that shit. He gave tens of millions of dollars to African-American institutions of higher learning, and is directly responsible for thousands of black kids going to college. Not just the ones he raped. Here comes the kicker. You ready?

Here’s the fact that I heard, but haven’t confirmed. I heard that when Martin Luther King stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and said he had a dream, he was speaking into a PA system that Bill Cosby paid for. So, you understand what I'm saying?

The point is this: He rapes, but he saves. And he saves more than he rapes. But he probably does rape.

Thank you very much! Good night!
