Sorry, but I think if you are a person that is trying to better our community and society in general you can comment on it.
And seriously, at what point will we stop waiting on a person to get things started? I think the black church should be at the heart of fixing a lot of the ails of our community instead of waiting for someone else to do it. We should be the one's running after school programs (to keep kids productive and off the street), mini-health clinics in our church basements, drug/alcohol abuse support groups, etc. We need to be the ones to show the love of Christ in action everday.

Everyone has their opinion about this conversation that is why I posted it to see what everyone thought not to bash folks. Have and have had my fair share and will continue to have my fair share in giving back to the community. I work with kids no one else would so I know about going where the need is but his discuss seems more like judgment and not strategy. I don’t see folks who are not doing anything to listen to his speech and be like oh man lets get out there and teach these kids or go up again these drug dealers. The problem is that if that is happening, its just one person and how do you move people, not by bashing them. I don’t have the answer but I don’t many people starting to get their hands dirty because Bill Cosby is now speaking out. I appreciate his efforts just not the way he is going about it.
