Big Hollywood posts excerpts of Bill Cosby's comments on Jimmy Carter's disgraceful statements about race being at the heart of opposition to Obama.
Cosby's full comments, from his Facebook page:
I agree with President Carter that racism is playing a role in recent outbursts against President Obama. During President Obama’s speech on the status of health care reform, some members of congress engaged in a public display of disrespect. While one Representative hurled the now infamous “you lie” insult at the President, others made their lack of interest known by exhibiting rude behavior such as deliberately yawning and sending text messages.
Health care reform is the most important domestic issue facing America today. Disease does not discriminate. African American, White, Asian, Latino, Republican, Democrat, no one in America is immune. So it seems obvious that a debate on health care reform should not include views born solely of partisanship or bigotry.
Various polls prior to the election indicated that between five and ten percent of Americans would never vote for an African American president. That number, of course, only includes those who actually admitted to their prejudice. How many others harbored such feelings but did not respond honestly when asked the question? And how many people oppose Obama’s plan because the President is African American?
In "Birth of a Nation," D.W. Griffith used white actors in black face to portray black legislators as having low intelligence and acting like fools. Today, we have a band of real life congressional fools seemingly bent on blocking any meaningful reform of the health care system. But if we allow even one American to die simply because he or she cannot afford treatment, we are creating a shameful scenario that could aptly be called “Death of a Nation.”
It's a shame that Cosby, normally a proponent of personal responsibility, has chosen to play the race card.
It's a shame that Cosby is selling the very misleading Dem party line that Republicans aren't interested in passing health care reform.
Why did the country rise up against HillaryCare?
Americans didn't want government-run health care then and we don't want it now. I don't believe sexism played a role then and I don't believe racism plays a role now.
Good grief.
Why didn't Hillary get the nomination for president? Was it because she's a woman?
I guess Cosby must think so.
I have no doubt that some people in this country are opposed to Obama because he's black; but that minute number doesn't begin to account for the majority of Americans now opposing Obama's health care plan.
Why slam those of us in genuine opposition to ObamaCare as racists?
Cosby disappoints me.
Oh, well. Maybe some JELL-O pudding will pick up my spirits.

OK, now I know why I dislike Obama so much - it's because I'm a racist.
So why do I dislike Carter so much?
Subject: Murderer in Washington State
Dear Denise Revels Robinson of Washington State former, Director of the Bureau of Milwaukee Child
Welfare. I don’t want my grand daughter Shayna to be murdered like infant, Christopher Thomas Jr. in Wisconsin or beaten and tortured like his 2 year old sister. Ms. Robinson you placed the two siblings in a sub-standard home of mentally ill foster mom, Crystal Keith. Agency caseworkers were incompetent, not inspecting the home surroundings properly, which was unsuitable. The caseworkers were negligent in during their home visits, lead to abuse, such as burn marks on the sister from her head to feet. She had ligature scars on her back, chest, neck, arms and legs. She had many broken bones, and severely undernourished. The foster mom scalded the toddler with hot water, her scalded feet had been covered with bandages, with blisters seeping through.
Why! Why!! in God’s Name your case workers didn’t notice this abuse? The foster mom repeatedly slapped little Christopher in the face for not eating. The foster mom, choked and him upside down, pressing his little head on the floor. He stopped breathing, she then stuck the handle of a hairbrush down the child’s throat, in order to revive him. The boy suffered blunt force trauma to his head, had a broken right arm, bruises on his thighs, throat and neck. Multiple scope injuries an a lacerated tongue, he died. Susan Dreyfus. stated, “Deaths can happen even when social workers have done everything by the book and taken every allowable precaution”. Precaution!! All you had to do was, LOOK!!! Ms Robinson you have over 40 year of experience with Child Welfare Agencies‘, that is not much to brag about, how much time will Christopher have? You Murderer! You enjoy a fine lifestyle, beautiful home, expensive cars, friend and family. Little Christopher rots in a coffin, deep in a grave, in the Cemetery.
His sister endures the loss of her brother, living with the trauma of mental and physical abuse. The case workers and you, didn’t noticed the way these siblings were abused, torched and murdered? The foster mom stated she had been abusing the two sense they have been crawling. What!! The worst infant death in Wisconsin history, State officials’ replied. Didn’t notice the abuse?? You, along with the case workers, should have charged Murder, Child Endangerment, Involuntary Manslaughter and Gross Negligence. After being relieved as Director of the Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare, you ran to Washington State, like a thief and a chicken with it’s head cut off, hiding from the Wisconsin News Media. Ma’am you now head the Washington State Children Administration. I guess it true it’s what they say, F%@k up and move up! Get my grand daughter Shayna out of that abusive, boyfriend, girlfriend foster home, allow us to adopt her in Ohio. In the Name of Jesus Name!! Don’t let this happen again, Enough! Give us our grandchild!!
