You are very vocal about loving and respecting black men. Do you ever feel that black men have not done enough (on their own) to earn the respect of black women who are holding the family down solo? Do you ever feel let down by the choices some of the black men that do achieve success make (I am thinking Kobe and his infamous crime of 'adultery')?
Also, what was your initial reaction to Bill Cosby's criticism of poor and lower middle class blacks? Has that changed at all because of the follow-up comments Cosby has repeatedly made?
