Shut Your Bone Hole Bill Cosby!
Sheesh! I just watched the lip flappin’ Cosby visiting recent flood victims. He was talking to an old woman devastated by recent tornadoes and floods in the south. He actually said in the most patronizing, paternalistic tone, “You know God does what?” Come on finish the sentence…” “Come on…” Finally someone, maybe the woman herself said, “helps themselves.”
Okay, let’s set the record straight: God did not say that! There is no scripture in the bible as we know it that even implies, much less directly states, that “God helps those who help themselves”. While we are on the subject, “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” is not biblical either. Um, “God don’t like ugly”. Nope, not there.
Anyway, what the hell is Cosby on a tear about. I know that he is frustrated with various ‘elements’ in black America. Aren’t we all? There are all manner of things I’d like to change but ultimately we all have to walk our own walk and talk our own talk.
Antagonizing people usually does not promote change. Denigrating people usually is not helpful either.
Good for Cosby that he can afford to support his lifestyle including his infidelity or infidelities. The have is talking smack to the have nots or those whose gain is ill gotten (his outburst about baybay’s kids and sagging). Really? Shut up Bill Cosby. Your credibility is on the line too! The difference between you and ‘the elements’ is money.
