I am not saying you should stop publicly condemning him or not (I am not disclosing my opinion in anyway), I am simply curious as to what you see as more important? I sincerely, want to know would you bite your tongue in order to ensure that he continue to financially and publicly support our schools if he told you public condemnation would cause him to stop? Do you feel that your public condemnation is more important than his support of schools? Is that "selling out"- is it sacrificing the trivial for the life-changing?
Just curious.
BILL COSBY HAS NOT SAID THE THINGS I REFERENCE IN THIS POST- I AM SIMPLY ASKING A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION!

Hypothetically, Cosby's says, "Since you guys are publicly bashing my private life I'm going to stop giving back to the community". You are wondering if I should say, "oh wait Cosby, your giving is much too important, I'll keep my opinion of your private business to myself"?
Umm, nope. If he did something like this, it would prove his intentions weren't genuine to begin with. I would think he'd want to follow his own advice by taking the constructive criticism and improving himself and those within his community.
Why is it he can air our dirty laundry but no one can air his?
For the record, I'm not disputing any comments he made about our community.
