Thanks for the FACTS, I heard that 50 percent nonsense fall out of Cosby's mouth during his FIRST rant in DC. It turn my stomach to listen to a educated man spit such nonsense. It was just as bad, f not worse, as frat (Paige) calling the teacher's union a terriost organization. It's sad when we take "made up" stats and pass them off as truth only to belittle our respective races.
