If you want to sum up the messages of the "Rev." Jesse Jackson and the so-called "Poverty Pimps" (a name given to them by right-wing folks that I think is very descriptive), yes, that is fair. You don't have to look very hard to find examples of Jackson taking the side of a "victim" who is clearly not the victim.
How about the messages that pop culture sends to our young people? Modifying their speach patterns, etc. to be different than those of successful people?
Do I think that Jackson is a speaker for the entire black race? Nope. I don't think anyone really is. Do I think Cosby's message is more positive, empowering and uplifting than Jacksons or what you'll find on MTV/BET? Yes.
