Reply #172: I have heard his speech, but Cosby isn't a Republican

And has given alot of time and money to progressive causes. I'm not an African-American, so I don't think I have a right to comment on his speech. I do know that many prominent, liberal AAs have condemned it, and many have also praised it, or at least the intention of the speech. Your opinion about his speech is completely legit, but that doesn't make Cosby a Republican, nor does it negate everything good he has done. Just like Oprah's friendship with Maria Shriver, and her allowing Arnuld to come on her show, doesn't negate all the great things she's done. And I hate that she did that. And that's something I do think I have a right to comment on.
