True. First of all, I agree with many of his statements.
HOWEVER, I think that Mr. Cosby unfairly pointed a finger at the "lower economic people". They are not the only group guilty of bad parenting (Mr. Cosby is well aware of that). Also, I just disagree with the venue. I just don't see how choosing this venue will HELP the situation he is speaking about. We will not improve the situation by marching and making speeches. Most of the people who need to hear his message, are not listening. As someone said, this is a grassroots effort. I applaud his philanthropy at the college level...but so many of our babies will not even make it there.
