- Synopsis
- Cosby's stance against poor African American people was brought to the attention of the public during a speech he made at the 50th anniversary comemoration of Brown V. Board of Education, the Supreme Court Decision which desegregated the education system. In that speech, and many speechs since then, Cosby has accused poor African Americans of being uneducated; he blames the parents for not ensuring the education of their children and sees the pop culture of young Black people as an indication of their lack of education. Dyson provides facts, contraditions, and his own opinions in response to Cosby's standpoint, using quotes from the 2004 speech as a springboard.
