Paul Mooney Says Bill Cosby Got His “N***** Wake Up Call”

Bill Cosby is taking blow after blow now that the ins and outs of his ongoing multiple rape scandal are hitting front pages right and left. Fellow comedian Paul Mooney recently weighed in on Cosby’s controversy, noting that it hearkens back to a concept he went over in his stand-up…basically no matter how rich and famous you become, as a Black person, the media/powers that be will remind you where you really stand. Via HuffPost:

What are your thoughts on Bill Cosby and his legacy moving forward?

The only thing that I can say about that is that he got his “N****r Wake-up Call” [Editor’s Note: “N****r Wake-up Call” is a reoccurring joke that Mooney uses in all of his comedy routines.] What’s new? Does it surprise you? It goes to show you how much power he didn’t have. They took off all his reruns – TV Land just took everything off. Do you see his stuff on TV now?

Do you think it was fair for TV networks to pull “The Cosby Show” reruns?

No. But that’s white America. But you know the old saying, he “don’t have the complexion for the protection.”

In case you were wondering what exactly a “n***** wake up call” is, let Paul walk you through it in his stand-up:

Hmmm…looks like everyone decided it was time for Bill to shake off his Quaalude coma and wake up to reality. What do you think of what Paul said?
