I didn't say his actions caused the ills of our society or compare him to Jesse Jackson. My point was don't think extramarital affairs (Cosby or whomever) are immaterial and have no effect on the family unit. How do these actions affect the views that a son may have toward commitments and respect for women or a daughter's trust in men? Yeah Cosby and his wife are both college educated and their kids were raised in a two-parent home, but this and similar households don't make life fine and dandy. That's what I was alluding to.

We can call it a private matter, but as with any public figure your business is prone to scrutiny. We can have a ball talking about someone's relationship, weave or outfit, but let's not discuss Cosby's indiscretions, it's private. The only thing alleged in this case is her being drugged since he admitted he touched her inappropriately.

Cosby should be praised for his educational endowments; he's doing what the alumni won't do. But I'm not questioning his credibility as far as giving back or saying he's going to hell for his actions. Whether it's Cosby, Jesse, R Kelly or a crack head preaching "do as I say not as I do", your credibility to your audience will be judged and your effectiveness can be hindered.

my thoughts exactly...
