Star Parker: Cosby's message stings, as it should: "Bill Cosby should receive nothing but respect for his integrity and honesty. However, let's hope this is only the beginning. There is larger story that needs to be told. I believe there was justification for the indignity felt by many poor black parents who felt that Cosby was attacking them personally. He unfortunately did not point out that seven out of 10 of the homes that he says are irresponsible are also broken homes run by a single parent. This was not the case 40 years ago before Jesse Jackson and company started their campaign to sell political power and government programs as the answer for African Americans.
Maybe this is why the existing black political power structure is uneasy. They might be concerned who we will see if we do turn the mirror around as Cosby suggests. Cosby has got to be under a lot of pressure to back off. Let's hope he doesn't. "
