I'm like, nope, that doesn't even register as like the top 100 upsetting things about this. Especially since he was allowed to hide it for so long. If society functioned well, we wouldn't need this.i was with him until "Shouldnt we be equally angered by the fact that his private, intimate conversation was taped and then leaked to the media?" because a private conversation is only as private as the combined privacy of all involved parties.
There also is this fallacy that we have privacy in this situation. Given this context, none of us have privacy, just anonymity. You can't share your thoughts with someone and expect privacy. And Kareem maybe have difficulty with this issue since he is a star with experience.
Had a good night. Saw Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby and Cosby stole the show. Just slayed the whole room. He didn't talk about kids needing to pull up their pants and I was grateful. I realized he needs better pr. He's going around and doing good civic work but the only story that is reported is how much he hates young people and the way they'd talk or dress. Talking about young people and their failures is relevant but hearing it from the older generation gets me worked up. Particularly from a guy with side pieces when our families are hurting and young, stupid behavior is a direct consequence of old, stupid behavior. Bill Cosby talking about young, stupid behavior is a little shallow to me.
Last night was just fun watching him perform. It was around 45 minutes and effortless. He had the story mode on 11 and it's probably just how he talks on a regular day. Like, he couldn't help being funny. He needed a little help getting on stage and his cross eye is a little more pronounced but he's very adept on stage. It was good to see for the first time, up close.
