Bill Cosby does not have to speak out on the issues facing the largely urban (black) underclass. He is wealthy and influential. Mr. Cosby has built up enough goodwill in the entertainment business to be lauded for years -- even if he doesn't make another sitcom, or host another children's program. Self-appointed "leaders" in the black community deride his activism. However, he, unlike many of his detractors, cannot be ignored so easily. His critics call him cynical, elitist and out of touch. I believe that he is disapointed in the lack of pride exhibited by some of our people. An absence of pride that too often manifests in degenerate behavior with generational implications. And "there can be no great disapointment where the no great love." Soldier on, Mr. Cosby -- and thanks.
