I guess we are just shocked to hear it from Dr. Cosby.

I concur. I saw the snippet on the Today Show this morning as well and I agreed with what he had to say. I even agreed with the CONTENT of what he said previously regarding Afrocentric and made-up (for lack of a better term) names. I don't believe that discriminating on the basis of one's name is correct, but I am not so heavy in denial to believe that it does not occur.
