COSBY TAKES THE EASY WAY OUT…

I used to have a great deal of respect for Mr. Bill Cosby. I thought he was the funniest guy on the planet. But with age, it seems, has come the need by Mr. Cosby to morph into just one more high profile black who seems to put race above all else. He’s one more black who sees as being Barry’s most important qualification for his being president, his race. It seems to matter very little to Mr. Cosby that Barry is quite literally destroying this country, what seems to be the most important thing is that Barry is black, and that he’s the president. All else is completely irrelevant.

During an exclusive interview this past Friday regarding the Trayvon Martin case, two words, “The Gun”, repeatedly flowed from the mouth of this former comedian now self-professed social commentator as he discussed what has been called by some the most high-profile, citizen-on-citizen U.S. slaying said to be facing the Barry “Almighty” administration. Trayvon was killed Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who told police that it was a confrontation with the unarmed 17-year-old led him to shoot in self-defense.

With us still not knowing all of the facts, Cosby chose to take the easy way out, saying “the gun” empowered Mr. Zimmerman, whose actions have since been seized upon by the likes of Al Sharpton to create a firestorm of debate and protests and even brought some idiotic remarks from Barry. We’ve got to get “the gun” out of the hands of people who are supposed to be on neighborhood watch, said Mr. Cosby, whose remarks were the first he has made publicly about the case. I disagree with Mr. Cosby’s idiotic suggestion. And for Cosby to suggest that without a gun, Mr. Zimmerman would not have approached Trayvon by himself is nothing but conjecture in his part.

Cosby’s rationale is that the power-of-the-gun mentality had him unafraid to confront someone. And in a complete distortion of what occurred here, Cosby said when you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody. Sorry, but I just don’t think that is anywhere near to being an accurate statement. I know several people who have a license to carry a concealed weapon, and not one carries a gun because he wants to, in Mr. Cosby’s words, “harm somebody” or God forbid, “kill somebody”. I think that it’s really a stupid statement for him to make and for him to say something like that exposes his willingness to ignore the real problem here while using Zimmerman as a scapegoat.
