I'm not really taking sides, because you both have a point...but I think it is unfair how certain people can say certain things and get away with it...
Why is it that Oprah can have a show about black men living on the downlow and she is praised? Correct me if I'm wrong, her target audience is WHITE women in their 30's. Bill Cosby is both praised and criticized, but mostly praised. Buuuuut if any common black person shares their opinion about situations in the black community (that aren't positive) they are condemned.
