Quote of the Day
Posted by Bossip Staff
Bill Cosby’s daughter on being privileged:
“My own people used to say to me, ‘You speak like a white woman,’” said the youngest daughter of Bill and Camille Cosby at her chic new boutique, PB & Caviar, in Tribeca.
“What does that even mean, anyway? Everyone has their way of speaking and living their life. No one should be judging and assuming that because I’m black, I have to speak in that hip-hop way. That’s something I prefer not to do.”
“I always went to private schools – Bank Street elementary, Columbia Prep – so I was surrounded by people like me. Not so much African-American, but privileged. I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle. But my dad is very into helping people from his own community in Philadelphia.”
Wow, she sounds awfully ’sheltered’. SMH at “I have to speak in that hip-hop way”. Mind you, this broad sells those little newborn stillettos at this store too.

Bill is still the man.
Did she speak with proper grammar or LIKE VALLEY?
I mean I understand all of what she said. I grew up going to those elite schools in Manhattan…upper East Side at that, and I always got made fun of when I got back home to the BX…it is what it is. Why is she discussing this…she is not the only one.
GOOD MORNING BOSSIP FOLK!!
finesseyoswagger….
Errtime I see you I think Faith…..Evans
Not everyone grows up “privileged” and not everyone grows up “ghetto.” Open your minds people.
“I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle. But my dad is very into helping people from his own community in Philadelphia.”
No connection to others who didn’t have your lifestyle??? WOW. You would think her dad’s role in helping the black community would resonant to her…I soooo wouldn’t want to be you!!
IJM….
You are knida VALLEY
This ole, “Black people don’t like me because I speak white” argument is old, tired and worn out. As if saying this grants one some type of “pass”.
Now we all know there’s a marked difference between speaking proper english and speaking to SOUND white! And the latter is what most Black people who bring this up are refering to, not the fact that a Black person is speaking properly…
There’s nothing wrong with speaking proper English.
@ Dr. Nikki
lol
its standard english and thats fine but it sounds condescending. being brought up with money is great but instead of not connecting, rich ppl need to connect with less fortunate so that there will be more people exposed to greater lifestyles. attitudes like this is what keeps our ppl in bad situations http://www.girlfriendchurch.com
What’s wrong with what she said? She didn’t grow up in an urban community. She grew up around different races where they spoke like she did, so she didn’t stand out like she did once she broke away from her environment. Black folk are famous for referring to proper speaking as talking “white”. When you say talking white, I think the Paris Hilton/Clueless type.
Umm who is this and why is she getting air time? Black people kill me sometimes whether its the so called “uppity” ones or the so called “ignored” ones How and the hell do u speak hip hop? And who in the hell with times like they are has any spare time to critique the way someone else speaks? \

————————————————–
It may be old but it’s still very revelant. I see it happen every day.
She doesn’t sound white! She just sounds like a big ol’ BITCH!
“I always went to private schools – Bank Street elementary, Columbia Prep – so I was surrounded by people like me. Not so much African-American, but privileged. I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle. But my dad is very into helping people from his own community in Philadelphia.”
So what she is saying is that she is not into helping the poor because she does not feel a connection to those people! It’s because of this type of thinking that only 1% of people in this country have wealth. SMH
Good morning folks!
Only a small % of the U.S. population actually speaks STANDARD ENGLISH or even more of a rarity, the QUEENS ENGLISH. We’re a long way from England sis…FYI…as long as ur articulate…
What did this statement have to do with her opening a boutique?
If talking white helps you to own your business, I would like to learn more about it.
Also since she was around so many “priveleged” folks, most of them believe in being thin. I guess she only picked up their speach patterns.
She sounds like a retard…..
she lookin like Monique to me…
Shit, I can be proper within the drop of dime when need be..
But she had an upbringing to be proper at “all times”.. I mean, the Cosby’s were also talking Very Proper.. Ooh Well..
@ Mr. Florida…
Meet Mrs. Florida ((Tampa here))
and her statement was meant to separate…not very forward thinking. Education alone will not bring u 2 ur peak…aquired knowledge and deductive reasoning will…SMH
I agree that she sounds more unenlightened than “uppity.” It is ironic that her father has reached back to help others and she shows no interest in anyone outside her current social group. I feel sad for her because without her father’s work, she wouldn’t be standing there in her new shop, selling ridiculous clothes to people like herself. Is her father funding this little venture? So sad, so very sad.
When you try so hard to separate yourself from something 9 times out of 10 you don’t manage too. She said speaking in “hip hop” is something that she prefers not to do. So….does that mean someone has suggested that she step her soulja boy slang up or what? Or does she secretly have a desire to be in the next kanye west video? Does she really think that she is the only “privileged” black person ?
I think it is quite obvious that Ms. Coby did not grow up in the hood. However there are thousands of black people who also did not grow up in the hood and do not speak in that hip hop way. Ms. Cosby sounds very classist and elitist to assume that “black people in whole” do not like her because of her diction, is akin to being a racist. Racist people judge all people by the color of the victims skin instead of their individual actions. I think that the black people who openly dislike the young Ms. Cosby dislike her on the basis of her ego, aka hyping herself up in her mind because she is the daughter of a famous/wealthy man.
The day that Ms. Cosby is reminded by a white person of her caliber,she will get the realization that to some Whites/Blacks/Ignorant Fools she is just a “negress in a benz”.
Instead of worrying about who dsnt like her, maybe she should figure how why she dsnt like herself enough to just “be”. SMDH at her ignorance….
And no she didnt say “speak in that hip hop way”…
I know what she means. I use to get it all the time, but i ddidn’t live like she did though. When ever, i spoke proper, It was, “she talk white”. I hated dat shyt. Tehre is a time and place for everything, and i’m not gonna speak the same all the time. I talk diff wen i’m with my friends and when i’m at work n school.
I didn’t see anything wrong with what she said. It is what it is. And the argument isn’t old. Some people are just so use to one thing, that they dont’ realize you can’t be that way all the time.

Well her Dad is Bill “Uncle Ruckus” Cosby.

______________________________
You are so right her statement was not very inclusive.
She may speak white, but she don’t look white and she will never be white, In white people eyes she is a black woman. Although their is nothing wrong with blacks speaking correct english. And going to private schools.
Just like Tiger, he can run but he will be reminded he is black if he get out of line.
@MistaO & MIZZGAPEACH
I agree with you! who cares anyway what ole girl has to say, one would already figure, being Bill Cosby’s daugther that you “privileged & proper”, so who cares and whatever?!
correction, Although THERE is nothing wrong with blacks speaking correct english.
So this is how Bill wants black people to act, UNATTACHED….interesting.
Morning Y’all ! Happy monday.
@ teedy-exactly, she just sounds like a be-yatch. How she sounds is less of an issue than her attitude, which I’m sure is cocky and superior.
@ so much to say-how right you are: girlfriend is well-fed and well-read. Just the fact that she said ‘hip-hop talk’ makes me want to smack her. WTF is that???
I’m from Philly and I take offense to her comment: as if everyone in Philadelphia is struggling to speak and live day-to-day, without the help of her wonderful father. Please! I grew up in the inner-city. I went to public school and then spent several years in private school (I preferred the public school). I learned how to speak well because the people around me-at home were well-spoken. In addition, I read alot as a child and that contributed to the way I spoke/speak. Some kids accused me of speaking white too-it went in one ear and out of my ass. Because I know who and what I am and I can speak well and still respresent my blackness-proudly. Cosby’s daughter looks and sounds like she has some issues.
@ Soulwoman
I agree with you- there is nothing wrong with what she said! I am African and was prveleged enough to attend a private school, so i have a fucked up accent! no one can really place where am from and everyone comments that I dont sound African! which is bollocks cause I am 100% proud to be a Black African!
it is annoying becasue people think you’re being a snob or up your arse, when you are merely a product of political socialisation!
Nonetheless I dont know this chick other than she’s Bills kid, and if she sells those stupid heels for kids, then she is dead wrong in that aspect!
@Nikki…
…morning hun…ditto on that gravie name…
@so much to say (always late to the game…oh well…)
—–DEAD!—-
LOL!
Who cares how you talk, as long as it’s correct english when you are in a place of business (i.e work, school…)…otherwise, when you’re with you friends, feel free to talk like a slave, for all I care.
…Now, the only exception is if you talk like “Tom” from Boondocks…
@The Caps Lock button should be banned……
I swear, so did I… lol…
Anyway, she sounds quite ignorant.
i hear the same thing and you know what, when black people say you dont speak black they are insulting themselves. there is no such thing as speaking black. we all speak english. its insulting and extremely ignorant. how you speak does not make you who you are. get it together. why does she have to be sheltered? its so annoying that you have to stick up for yourself because you had something and others didnt. thats not that persons fault.
I sold coke to the girls at her school.(true story)…They would skip school and come to my part of the town. The Hood..Niggas would go crazy when I pulled up with 2-3 skeeted white girls..Stuntin like my daddy….Anyways she was corny then and she corny now…O.J. simpsons kids are fucked in the head too
I know what she means, people used to say that to me when I was in JHS. But as an adult…other adults compliment me on the way I speak now. Black women are sometimes shocked when they hear a black man pronounce all of his words properly without using any slang or cussing. Speaking properly turns a real woman on…but the hood rats still want their thugs that bring them drama.
Cosby’s daughter doesn’t have any connection with poor people…that’s fine…do you have any connection with the Billionaires that earn $800 million per year?
*and arrogant*
@Jman…but being poor and struggling is reoccurring theme in the black community unfortunately. So theres more people in our community that are poor..Power of the numbers..If we were majority wealthy, than poor people would be the target..Much like white people really dislike their trailer park brethern
“I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle.”
She sounds like an ass. Sorry. This was just her way of “bragging.” Did we really need to know the “elite” schools she went to? To say that she does not really have a connection to people who didn’t have her lifestyle just shows how truly ignorant that she is. Ironic isn’t is considering Mr. Cosby preaches against ignorance? I HATE when people think that just because of an accident of birth that they are somehow better than. Thank God that folks like Obama and Hil Harper who were privileged enough to attend Harvard Law do not share her backwards views.
Yeah I can feel her on the talking white I use to get that but I went to good ole public school.. However she could have said her second statement differently. I’m sure alot of people don’t have things in common if they grew up differently whether the rich or not.
I see all that privileged living, private schools, and proper diction didn’t keep her from the dinner table…She sounds really elitist and removed from reality if she thinks that black people only come in two forms either the really rich or the really poor…SMH at her ignorance…
Morning Bossip peeps!
Dr. Nikku: I thought I would need you Saturday in Htfd, Ct. Girl it was the wild wild west at a Jamaican Parade! WHOA!
Although I can’t stand it when people don’t talk proper that irks me with a passion.
The pudding pop doesnt fall too far from the freezer.
Nothig demonstrates her feelings of inferiority and insecurity more than the need to differeniate herself from blacks by the way she speaks. You rarely hear people speak about the nuances in the way blacks speak American English according to regional dialects. There is a marked difference between the way blacks in the North East, Deep South, and the West Coast, speak English. There is never any value placed on the way a white person speaks based on their regional dialect. It is always assumed that they speak that way, not because of their education or lack thereof but because of where they are from.
This isnt to say that blacks are especially charitable when it comes to admitting these differences.
But whatever.
“My own people used to say to me, “You speak like a white woman”
But she only feels connected to people that have her lifestyle so obviuosly her “own” people should really be all those “privileged people” and pretty much all of them are a bunch of rich white folks, so that’s her own people.
“But my dad is very into helping people from his own community in Philadelphia”
Exactly HIS own black community that you would never want to be part of.
This is more than just “OH I speak proper English so I have nothing in common with people who look like me”. A lot of us do actually speak proper english but we don’t share her twisted minded mindset. It’s so obvious that this woman wants to separate herself from black people.
Also since she was around so many “priveleged” folks, most of them believe in being thin. I guess she only picked up their speach patterns.

To Soulwoman and Vinandi….
“She grew up around different races where they spoke like she did, so she didn’t stand out like she did once she broke away from her environment. Black folk are famous for referring to proper speaking as talking “white”. When you say talking white, I think the Paris Hilton/Clueless type.”
And white folk are famous for shunning you and referring to you in a derogatory fashion once you are black period. They will feign surprise if you are Black and speak proper English as well. So let’s stop this whole ‘Blacks told me I talked white boo hoo’ crap when there are whites right within her own community who will make her feel much worse for her skin color, weight, and features alone.
You can tell she is a product of her father’s misery more than of any Black people in neighborhoods she claims to not know much about….
KZZME….
Hey!!! Just know I was there…in spirit….I had a WILD one Friday…went in the hood to kick it…WOW!
@Bossip Bloggers
the problem is we have got to differentiate “Black” from “crazy”….Working a LEGAL, hard job to provide for your family is something “Black” people do…
Selling crack and getting shot 9 times is something “crazy” people do..
Simple as that
she sounds stuck up!
She probably speaks english like Paris Hilton and her friends and that’s why her black people think she speaks like a white woman. I speak proper english but you can still tell that I’m black
Morning all….
Well huh?? I don’t even understand half of what she was saying. She was just mad because someone said she sounded like she was talking white? Who cares? Ignorant black people say that all the time, she’s not the only one someone has said that too…and ignorant black people will continue to say it…UNTIL they are refused ajob because they can’t talk “white” …SMDH
So when Pookie goes on a murderous rampage, because his EBT card expired, he has a suspended drivers license and high blood pressure and it gets national media attention..Every other race thinks that’s “black”..Nope that’s “crazy” people…We need to stop helping the “crazy” motherfuckers lol
You guys need to leave Monique alone.
L….
I LOVE the chubby cheecks…Ive been waiting for them!!!
@NIK: See that’s why I don’t like going 2 da hood! people are crazy, Nik, they shot babies and teenagers it was pure Kaos! HAVOC!
People should be allowed to talk like a slave if they want…to their friends. Just speak normal english when you’re conducting business, going to school…
ALSO the same way she can be offended by people telling her she sounds white is the same way people could feel offended about them referring to their speech as ‘hip hop’. Now go sit down little Monique Jr.
@Kzzme…
….my fellow Virgo…
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH SPEAKING WELL AND ASSOCIATING WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE…SHE WAS FORTUNE AND THAT’S GOOD..
I FOR ONE CANNOT STAND TO HEAR EBONICS IT MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL..I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW AFRICAN AMERICANS GO TO SCHOOL, THEY SIT IN FRONT OF AN ENGLISH TEACHER ALL DAY LONG AND YET THEY STILL SPEAK EBONICS..WHY, WHY, THAT SHIT DOES NOT SOUND GOOD AT ALL.. “THAT, IS BE DOING THIS, AND IS BE DOING THAT” HAVE TO STOP.. AND A BABY IS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 1 DAY OLD TO 9 MONTHS AFTER THEY’RE A YEAR THEY’RE NO LONGER A BABY, THEY’RE NOW A CHILD.. STOP WITH THIS BABY DADDY FOOLISHNESS, IT’S CALLED YOUR CHILDS FATHER OR YOUR CHILDRENS FATHER..YOU SOUND IGNORANT AND STUPID, WHY GET MAD WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO CORRECT YOU…AND I’M BLACK SO DON’T BOTHER TRYING TO TALK SHIT TO ME..I CANNOT STAND THAT SHIT.

Her parent talk her how to speak the “queen’s english”. Great! That’s always useful. Everyone should be so lucky. BUT with all that “learning”, you’d think she take a AA historty class or even music history to learn about the rich and powerful alternative uses of lauguages and music black people use.

___________________________________________________
Princess Aoki I co-sign fully…there are plenty of wealthy people who are just real…she sounds immature and inexperienced which happens to sheltered children wealthy or not. A time will come when her father’s money will mean nothing and she will get a BIG OLE REALITY CHECK! I am not mad at her just sad because her father and mother did not bother to teach her to be humble.
I understand what she’s saying because alot of times the other people in the world ( meaning non- Black) concept of Blacks are what they see on TV or only the one or two that they’ve met. So when your a well spoken Black, who isnt speaking like rapper on BET. Yet in this world to ve successful you HAVE to be bi-polar as an African American and I feel a sense that she (Cosby’s daughter)is not in touch with that urban side and thats sad. No matter what might be said about Mr. Cosby he had a way with connecting with all in his prime, even with the Blackest of the Black. I think sometimes in the process of people raising their kids that fail to realize that they have to instill in them the importance to embrace every aspect of who you are.
I have a huge problem with her statements, because it is what I hear a lot from other Black people who separate themselves from their own people. I grew up in a black neighborhood. It wasn’t “urban” or “the hood”. I’m from “down south”. However, my academic prowess afforded me the ability to participate in activities that took me out of my NEIGHBORHOOD and all across the country. I was always the only black person in my classes. I speak “standard” English. But my INTONATION is very much “black” (if that is what you want to call it). And I have never been accused of being or sounding or acting white.
From what she has said in that short little paragraph, she separates herself from other black people based on status. And she looks at black people as people to be “helped.” Not as equals who happen to live in circumstances other than hers. This attitude sickens me.
I am now an attorney. Building my own practice. And at no time will I think I’m better than the sista around the corner braiding hair at someone else’s shop. That’s the problem with a lot of us who “make it”. We think that our socio-economic status defines who we are.
Your children should know all types of people. Not just the ones in their particular neighborhood. And they should learn the value of different people and to respect and appreciate the people, not the lifestyles.
OH Paleese… She black enough to have that weave all down her back… I wonder if she even knows she has another sister that Bill won’t even acknowledge… Things that make you go humm…
Dr. NU…They are all 4 u hunny!
@ Kzz me…((hugz right back))….!
Growing up in the “Ghetto” does not automatically mean that you’re gonna turn out to be “ghetto”.
I used to get teased about this too-as far as I was concerned, being more educated didn’t make me less black. I take issue with the way she comes off as so elitist.
@ Diplomatic Immunity
Preach!!!
She sounds crrrrrrrrrrrrrrazy..It seems like all of the best money could not teach her the way of life
It is called Speaking Proper. My parents used to do it..When they were on Business calls..They would speak business like..It is nothing wrong with that, and Maybe this child should of got out there and worked and made something of herself Other than spending Mr Cosby’s money on frivilous shit.
I am not hating on her…and YES BILL is still the fucking man
Its true! Black folks always wanna say someone sounds “white” if they speak with correct english. I understand what she means. She doesn’t speak like a ghetto hood chick. She wasn’t raised in that type of environment. Why are people getting offended?
Growing up in the “Ghetto” does not automatically mean that you’re gonna turn out to be “ghetto”.
______________
Isn’t that the truth!
OH Paleese… She black enough to have that weave all down her back…

*******************DEADISH!************************
speak on it aunt viv…
I was teased about the way I spoke too by ignorent individuals of course..however I was far from priveledged I was born and raised in Bed-Stuy, it was all due to a good up bringing. I myself never took to slang
it has nothing to do with talking in the “hip hop way” Black folks been talking that way for awhile waaaaay before hip hop. She AND her father have a problem. Ain’t nuthin wrong with talking proper or White or whatever, but the both of them shit on Black folks who don’t talk like them, call them ignorant and hate them. What Bill and hi daughter need to see is that Black Americans aren’t meant to be the Cosbys, that was a fantasy that won’t be seen.
I can somewhat relate to her on that “speaking white” issue. I grew up in private schools, and if I attended a public school, it was only for a specific magnet program, not my neighborhood school. I never felt different from the other kids until I reached high school.
But I grew up in the inner city so everyone felt I was the exception, not the norm. There are some kids in the hood that can speak in complete sentences.
I am fortunate to have come from the ‘hood’…(some off you may concur) I have a better understanding of how the world really works. IMO to be born with money or to have some type of common sense…Id choose the ladder…money can be made…common sense CANT be bought…

————————————————
to go a little further on what I said..We have too many crazy people in our families, as friends and etc that truly hold us back And end up ruining us..I know Mommas of Mommas that lease cars and etc for dead broke ass sons and cousins…Fuckin their credit all up…We got to let go of the problems in our lives and homes..Get the crazy people out of our communities, so people of other races and I could care-less about some white people, but since they are in the positions of power, their opinions of us count.
I hate people like that, Is she saying talking in a “hip-hop” way or like a black person means your not intelligent? Her and Bill can go suck it.
Hi Cutie Pie
And I can’t hate on her too much..I’d rather she be an elitist bitch than a multiple baby-daddin havin welfare recipient
Please do not insult Monique by comparing her to this troll.
@ Sweet Cheeks….DUVAL COUNTY here! 904
My pet peeve is when you meet a black adult who grew up in a middle class or upper class background that acts insanely GHETTO to fit in. I think it’s a cop out for them. They couldn’t make it in their own social circle so they had to step downa notch to be the baddest b!tch.

I concur.
who cares about this fat ugly bish with her uncle tom/OJ syndrome people like her want the black community to surround them in times of hardship only, ala wesley snipes.
@ CHRISSY
All African American dont speak “ebonics”. The MAJORITY of us speak proper english at work and “casually” at home. ALL PEOPLE DO THAT. Racist dont go to most job calling blacks n*gger out loud, but they do in the comfort of there own community.
Your confusing society problem with black problem. Ignorance isn’t a black problem. And if you dont like those stereotypes used to define African Americans make sure you dont buy into them.
I’m trying to figure out what this whole “urban” side is. There are only a few “urban” areas in this country. That means there are more black people who didn’t grow up in “urban” areas, than there are who did.
People tend to buy into what they get force fed through the media and entertainment. Growing up poor doesn’t mean you grew up hood. Or “urban”. You just grew up poor. And your socio-economic status should not define who you are as a person.
@Chrissy… what does it mean to know the “right” people? Are the people “right” because their money is “Right”? Because I can guarantee you a lot of those people with “right” money, are as WRONG as they come. They lack any sense of character, values, or anything that speaks to who they are as a person as opposed to merely speaking to what they “have” as in possessions.
Because I can see from what she’s stated, that her “aptitude” is lacking…
All African American dont speak “ebonics”. The MAJORITY of us speak proper english at work and “casually” at home. ALL PEOPLE DO THAT. Racist dont go to most job calling blacks n*gger out loud, but they do in the comfort of there own community.

This is me right here! I like that i can switch it up at will. Versatile!
Alot of very good points all around this morning!
Fact-not gossip. She used to have a bad drug problem, I guess that is privileged behavior-not sure if crack is . She used to fuck with Mike Tyson- that is not the behavior of the privileged. Mike is so honest, don’t believe me Bossip just ask him. That hip hop way? If those hip hop concert walls could talk. A boutique in Tribeca, on whose dime? I like mine the hip hop way-self earned.
It seems that she is perpetuating the reverse of the same stereotype she is complaining about…she should think twice before speaking…no matter the dialect.
Hey Kzz..
Lauren.. Cute pic!!
Mr. Florida.. Thats what it is!!!
@NIK: Let me just say it was HELL! I feel sorry for those families in CT. 1 Killed and I don’t know how many shot, I was there with my cousins they live there but they said it’s never been like that b4! never have to worry about the kid going again!
I didn’t read all the comments yet so I don’t know if anyone said this yet, but she is write. As more black people become high income earners, there will be more black people like her who have little exposure to black culture. Which, by the way, is not necessarily hip hop culture. Even the children of the most hardcore gangster rap will be just like her if they live in wealthy neighborhoods and go to private schools. They will be more comfortable with “mainstream” America than black folks. As much as I love Diggy on Run’s House I see a white wife in his future.
I wonder do she sell Valtrex at her store….
Co-sign! I can speak “standard English” but can definitely switch to more casual language if necessary. I’m still black either way…
“I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle.”
She wouldn’t last 5 minutes in the ‘hood if she opened her mouth and started talking.
It would seem that her privileged background was wasted on her, because she seems to NOT have common sense, the ability to be humble and gratitude…
How unfortunate…
But why she look like Monique (comedian)?

Your father put NBC back on the map in the 80s. Bringing the network tons of cash and taking it back to the #1 spot. So when he tried to the buy the network and they turned him down was it because he talked in the hip-hop way in the meeting?
Your priveleged upbringing allows you to own a shop. Your father tried to own a media conglomerate. No amount of white talking would allow this.
This is why he is so mad. He knows that the images/stereotypes that whites and some priveleged blacks including his own children have about black people kept him from having true power in the television industry.
He feels powerless against fighting whites so he turns his anger on himself and the people and places that he comes from.
The same way when I got angry I slickly called you fat. I aplogize. No need to attack your appearance, your ignorant comments can stand on their own.

***************************************************
write = right is a typo, not a contradiction
As for the rest I don’t really know what you are talking about. It’s all semantics. You know what I meant. Or didn’t you? If you think black culture is mainstream then maybe just like Miss Cosby has not had a lot of interactio with Black America, you have not had a lot of interaction with white America which is just as bad…for you.
Well I bet Shaquanda in Bed Stuy does her weaves and I bet La Popeyes chicken caters her lunch. GTFOH and I won’t be shopping at her stank ass store.
I don’t know why people are coming down on her she is being honest and speaking the truth and I am sure she is not trying to offend anyone. What is so interesting about us(I use this term very losely) we come down hard on those that are not living the same lifestyle we live.
I mean what do you expect the girl is privileged.
And she is speaking the truth when she says that “hip hop” way because lets be honest a lot of the slang out today became slang or was reinforced as slang courtsey of hip hop songs. Leave the girl alone.
It’s really plain and simple, depending on where you are, when at work please be on your best english speaking behavior, I’m not saying suck up but speak properly at all times , especially if you are in the corporate industry, of course when we get around friends and family you will fit into the behavior of what you all do, but at the same time you can keep it real! Some of the best Educators have come from the HOOD! it’s not where you live! it’s how you live! and present yourself!
Ok, since others are getting on board let me say it another way.
I am black, not hip hop. I was raised in the hood, but forced to speak proper English and used to feel shame when people told me I sound white. Regardless how I speak I was raised in the projects of New Jersey on welfare by a single mother. Black culture is differant than white culture and even if a black person is speaking proper English most of the time you can still tell they are black if you speak to them on the phone and have never seen them before. It is the inflection in our speaking which I think is beautiful. Hip Hop comes from black, but it most certainly doesn’t represent all that black is. Come on now. Why you got to dog me out for nothing?
I GREW UP VERY “PRIVILEGED” AS WELL… GIVES A SHIT. THE CORRECT WORD IS.. BLESSED!!!!!!!
I’M GOING TO NEED HER TO GET ON KANYE’S WORK OUT PLAN AND SPEAK WITH SOME MORE SENSE MS. PRIVILEGE.
FOR BILL TO BE SO EDUCATED.. HE RAISED SUCH A NEADRATHAL.
SMH
I as most others I know did not come from a priviledged background. However, speaking English well is not a blight against my culture and my people. I feel its an elevation of our people and respect to all my ancestors who faught hard in order for all of us to enjoy the PRIVILEDGE of being educated. We should all correct our children and each other on grammer, manners, and on loving each other. As people of color we should stand together as one, remember, out of many one people.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE, KZZME, AUNTIE, LAUREN, EVERY BODY!!
IM EMPLOYED AT A PLACE THAT REQUIRES ME TO SPEAK TO PROFESSIONAL BUISNESS AGENTS ALL DAY MONDAY-FRIDAY. I AM ABLE TO SPEAK TO THEM PROFESSIONALLY, BUT STILL MAINTAIN THE NORMAL TONE, PATTERN, AND BASIC SOUND OF MY VOICE(SOUNDING LIKE A BLACK WOMAN). IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT AND SOUND PROFESSIONAL AND PROPER, WITHOUT SOUNDING WHITE. NOW I’M NOT CRITIZING BILL’S DAUGHTER FOR SOUNDING WHITE. BECAUSE SOME BLACK PEOPLE WERE RAISED AROUND SO MANY WHITE PEOPLE THAT THEY TAKE ON THAT WAY OF SPEAKING, AND VICE VERSA. HOWEVER, WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY “THAT HIP HOP WAY OF TALKING”? IT’S BEING THROWN OFF AS IF SHE IS TRYING TO SAY THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SOUND “BLACK” (if you will) IS TO BE GHETTO. IT’S ALMOST LIKE THATS WHAT SHE WANTED TO SAY, BUT TIP TOED AROUND IT. AND THAT SOUNDS IGNORANT.

Good Morning everyone.
I have always wondered what defines “speaking white”? I talk slang and cuss all damn day and I always heard all my life, that I speak white. I never understood what they meant, but i instinctively sneered at being compared to “them”. ugh
It doesn’t matter what school she went to or how well she speaks, in the eyes of many, she’s just another “jigga boo, spear chuckin’, niggra”…….You see it time an time again. America is so preoccupied with race. It’s utterly rediculous.
@BIRD: You cannot always tell a person is Blackk when speaking to them on the phone, I feel what you are saying 100%, but know your facts white people and blacks are only different by skin tone, they are know different than we are, they face some of the same problems we do especially in todays society, they just handle things a little differently that’s all! I know there neighborhoods don’t look the same as the hood per say! but that’s b-cuz alot of our people that live in the hood live by this mentality that it’s the hood “FUCK IT” and don’t care! I could go on but it would turn into a big debate and things will still be the same so why bother!
Bird…..
Slow downn…be easy…
All I was saying was (peep)
As more black people become high income earners, there will be more black people like her who have little exposure to black culture…(your words)
Ummm…but if more black people have more money then that means there will be more black people to relate to right?
exposure to black culture. Which, by the way, is not necessarily hip hop culture. (again)
But you said you agreed with her but then said the above…she spoke in Hip Hop culture…but that is not the only…just an aspect….
I do believe Black Culture has become more mainstream in past years….examples…
1.Obama
2. Every race wanting our features and attributes
3. SYTYCD a show on a MAINSTREAM (white network) embraces Hip Hop dance….
see thats my problem with black people..its a damn shame when you have to prove yourself to your own kind and I tell you this is the only race of people that are just so unaccepting of others that don’t fit the typical mold of a black person. Your either black or your not. You speak how you speak period..lets get off the high horse here. Pure ignorence and ignorence is really fatal. There is no white way to speak or a black way to speak thats the psychological prison people seem to be in… cut that sh** out for real!
my issue is that she would link Black culture with hip hop culture…they don’t necessarily go hand in hand…it’s great that she was exposed to many things that some of us (Black and white) have not been exposed to because she grew up “privileged”…but she doesn’t have to be obnoxious about it….
she sounds really ignorant.
Dawn and It Ain’t Really Nothin, But Noise
I agree 100%. I’m a little disappointed that Mr. Cosby has raised his daughter to be completely out of touch with her culture while he speaks down to our people who are trapped in circumstances beyond their control and many enjoy it and rappers claim it’s a good place to be.
and how well we forget the movies her father did with Sidney Poitier…where you were dipping and grinning and using slang and other street words….i wonder what his daugther thinks about that
@ Sweet Cheeks (we’re here!)
Who cares what she has to say. That’s why she looks like Mo’Nique.
she is so full of herself just to think that because your rich and you talk well and other black people think you talk white does not mean that most black people speak “hip hop” she should be shame to have a dad like bill and to not have his wisdom rub off on her get out more and learn more about peeople that don’t live your lifesyle if you don’t have a connection with them this bitch made me mad
Morning all…whoever said this made me snicker because I was thinking the same thing…
“I see all that privileged living, private schools, and proper diction didn’t keep her from the dinner table”

It is sad that black culture has to be linked to hip hop. but the reality is…if you don’t speak like they do on BET and you don’t know the slangs and terms….you are prejudged as being a sell-out, confused, uncle tom…ect. She is not making this shyt up….this is bullshyt that is thrown at her.

GOOD MORNING DANA!
I think I’m going to have to start logging on over the weekend. I read so many comments that I wish I could have posted on, but I always see them on Monday.
Now on to more pressing matters, what in the hell is that around her titties? I mean mammary glands. I spot different hair at the bottom , if those are tracks are they hip-hop ? If they are clipped on , are they white hair pieces.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS MONIQUE FOR A MINUTE STANDING NEXT TO BILL COSBY.
Most black kids who speak well, are mocked, folks just hat’in thats all.
http://www.NycCelebs.com
Dr. Nikki,
When I said I agreed with her, I only meant that you will be a reflection of the community you are raised in and very little can be done about that. I don’t want to lose black culture and I don’t like for our people to look down on it as bad. I don’t think people from other countries who move here should lose their culture. But the fact remains if you are not exposed to your culture you will not adobt it unless you do it on purpose, like Barack who was raised by white people. He intentionally sought out black culture as an adult and that makes me love him even more. He is totally well rounded and can see things from differant points of view. Cosby could have done the same with his children, but he was so busy running from niggras that he has raised a white child with black skin. How confused she must be.
I would think she could afford a nutritionist and a Bowflex being “privileged” and all…
~*Is wondering if I speak in the “Hip Hop” Way? Shoot I don’t know!*~
Prince
I agree!
That is what I was saying..ALL of the speeches that he gave and the positive tv shows that he put out..YOU would think that she sat back and watched a few and Grasp the concept that he was bringing..I guess she was to busy trying to suck on mom’s Breast, or I thought that she would grasp it again..when her brother was murdered..
I guess not
I THOUGHT THAT WAS MONIQUE FOR A MINUTE STANDING NEXT TO BILL COSBY.
@ Stefany–
I definitely did too!
“My own people used to say to me, ‘You speak like a white woman,’” said the youngest daughter of Bill and Camille Cosby at her chic new boutique, PB & Caviar, in Tribeca.
“What does that even mean, anyway? Everyone has their way of speaking and living their life. No one should be judging and assuming that because I’m black, I have to speak in that hip-hop way. That’s something I prefer not to do.”

A Men to that!!!

She sounds like an ass. Sorry. This was just her way of “bragging.” Did we really need to know the “elite” schools she went to? To say that she does not really have a connection to people who didn’t have her lifestyle just shows how truly ignorant that she is. Ironic isn’t is considering Mr. Cosby preaches against ignorance? I HATE when people think that just because of an accident of birth that they are somehow better than. Thank God that folks like Obama and Hil Harper who were privileged enough to attend Harvard Law do not share her backwards views.
@ Classc1
You took the words right out of my mouth. ***SMDH***
And also **SMDH*** at the people on here who are saying that they can relate to what she is saying. There is nothing wrong with the privileges she was given in life. It is how she comes across thinking she is better than others.
Sure, she went to a private school and talks a certain way. I went to private schools all my life too and then ivy league for Grad and undergrad. But i digress. the fact that you socialized and fraternized does not give you the right to think you are better than others, or feel too good to be associated with a certain group.
so looks like she ate rea privileged……..nothing wrong with talking proper…
@finesseyoswagger!…….beautiful pic..
We shouldn’t make fun of her. She made a dumb comment, but she’s right..We have been our own problem since 1965..
Anyways anyone who didn’t work for their money, shouldn’t have an opinion or a microphone to voice that opinion.

She has really irked me, since I know the silly chick -from a distance.Why didn’t she mention her university? TO mention ones elementary and secondary school , but no college or post graduate school is so demode. This little piggy is insecure, classless, and above all ungracious.
I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle.
***********************************************************
Wether this is true or not it sounds very sidity and snobbish. Why not attempt to help those not like you. That isn’t cute or good. She sounds very stuck-up and not like a person I’d want to be around. I don’t mind how people talk if I can understand them. She sounds like she looks down on people and that isn’t a good look at it. She sounds like she needs some type of self-esteem help.
And ILL, you nasty broad for selling those newborn stilettos.
Black people don’t like anyone. Learn it, accept it, and move on. You’ll die lonely looking for black acceptance.
Want more friends on myspace?? Go here!
@ Mandah I like their music also, but I must confess he is my grav because of that crazed look he has going on

What is wrong with what she said???
—————————————————
I don’t care how much money her Daddy makes, but she is offensive. And don’t assume that everyone who comes down on her is because they are not doing well themselves? Here are some quotes of what she said:
“I always went to private schools – Bank Street elementary, Columbia Prep – so I was surrounded by people like me.”
first she lists the schools… can’t you tell she is bragging? Pls i dont have to hate on her. I went to Cornell and Harvard and I am STILL offended.
Not so much African-American, but privileged.
(She is telling you that she is separate from most African Americans)
I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle.
(Meaning I only hang out with other wealthy people. What a snob!)
But my dad is very into helping people from his own community in Philadelphia.”
do i still need to spell out what is wrong with what she said??? ????
Are you a CUTIE pie or a STUPID pie???
Let her walk her “privileged” azz in a white upscale boutique or restaurant where her family’s “NOT” known. Bet she won’t feel so um privileged then. Very SAD and naive young lady!
Bird…
Im reading you. What the real shame is Bill was apart of the ‘ghetto’ and not to teach that to your children is some B.S….you dont have to live by it just remember it….
Verse One:
So I’m watchin’ her fine ass
Walk to my bedroom, and thought to myself
That’s the shape of things to come
She said, Why you in the club, you don’t make it precipitate?
You know, make it rain when you can make it thunderstorm
I’m like, Why?
The world needs sun
The hood needs funds
There’s a war going on and half the battle is guns
How dare I throw it on the floor
When people are poor
So I write like Edgar Allen to restore, got a cord-
Umbilical attached to a place that can’t afford
And the most she could so with all her privileged education is open a store that sells garbage. Yeah… Sure! Many uneducated people do that.

so looks like she ate rea privileged……..nothing wrong with talking proper…

lol i said theee saaaame dagggone thing!!!
what her store sell? bon bons and kishes? lol let me stop lol!!
And like someone correctly pointed out – She never menioned where she went to college. Did she even go to college? Being Bill’s daughter, I would imagine so. But the question is where?
Was her late brother Ennis that ignorant too?
“Black people don’t like anyone. Learn it, accept it, and move on. You’ll die lonely looking for black acceptance.”

“Was her late brother Ennis that ignorant too?”
———————————————-
thats fucked up…You should stop talking..He has nothing to do with this.
she looks like the product of Mo’Nique and Bill Cosby
She is just showing her own self esteem because only people with low self esteem would need to look down on others to feel good.
I am always offended when people say “You speak so proper”…how in the hell am I supposed to speak. Obviously when white people told her that it made her feel good and when black people said it it made her feel bad. Either way she should have enough sense to know be offended but she seems like it is okay with her as long as she is being “singled out”.
Cosby please get your daughter some help! She has some serious issues.
No matter how white someone tries to act they always have a ghetto name like Cornell Jr., a big ghetto booty, or no hair or something to bring it back to black. I thought she was Mo’Nique at 1st too. BUT if you ain’t ghetto, unmarried with 2 kids, slicked down hair, or anything outside of the stereotype po blacks hate you w/out knowing you…and white people mad cause you got stacks and live in a nicer neighborhood than they do. “What’s she doing w/that ring on?” “I worked all my life and I never had a _____”
she looks like the product of Mo’Nique and Bill Cosby

I thought that was Mo’Nique at first glance…had to look twice…lol (wow…my first comment ever on a blog…feels kinda strange
necessary* wow with the typos 2 day…damn manic mondays
Just not impressed. I wouldn’t want to buy anything at this thrift store that she is calling a boutique. I agree…all she could do was open a store. What are you doing for underprivleged like your father does or are you just living off of his wealth and his name?
@ beautiful soul
well then welcome to the pit of hell
I’m kidding…no I’m not
You know, some of these comments being made about her going into a white botique are true. In my “hood” I always get the best service when I go back home becuase of the way I speak and my manners. I can walk into Neiman Marcus or Saks(just to browse
) and have no problems.
Let me walk into one of these little boutiques ran by a rich white or asian girl who are burning their parent’s cash to say they’re entrepreneurs. They will follow you around and make crass comments the entire time you’re in there. Unfortunately, some black business owners who have shops in upscale neighborhoods will act the same way. I hope she won’t be one of those people.
What up Mandah!
How are you today? How was ur weekend?
…priviledged or otherwise, looks like she has no connection to planet earth in general…
…what a tool…
.
Kill yourself. Who says? I was with her until the whole “I don’t identify” with people that are not privileged.
BE REAL FOR A SECOND:
When she walks into those white owned boutiques they are looking her up and down in disgust thinking that she knows daggone well she cannot fit into anything they sell. Trust me…she may not speak like ghetto or whatver, but that should be the least of her worries. You may talk educated and proper but people are still thinking negative things about the way you look. Your European weave, your weight, your flat and wide nose, thick mannish eyebrows. You still don’t fit in….so what is your problem??? Who are you better than? No one, still bleed red blood monthly and sit to pee and poo like the rest of us ladies…just because your last name is Cosby doesn’t make you the greatest thing since sliced bread.
AND WHY ARE YOU SELLING THOSE NEWBORN STILETTOS? WHAT IS UP WITH THAT??
Bill Cosby is next to go

Well put.
This is so sad…..It’s not about where or how you grew up. It’s about connecting to all people. I grew up middle class……I can speak correct English, Ebonics, Valley you name it. I don’t want to be limited in who I can communicate or socialize with. That type of attitude is why there is so much separation and division among us.
Being Bill Cosby’s daughter had privileges all right: apparently all the jello pudding and coke-a-cola she could suck down.
Though I feel her on the way that some of us b sometimes, she sounds like she’s blogging on Bossip:
“I went to private school… I got my PhD in Nuclear Astrophyscs… and _________________________.” (fill in the blank)
a) “…the black men all dated ‘Becky’.”
b) “…hanging out on Bossip is how I make the day go faster”.
c) “…’extricate’ is not a word.”
I wish people would stop assuming that hip-hop culture represents BLACK culture in totality.
@ Preggo Her brother went to Columbia to become a teacher for those with a learning disability such as himself. Erin is like Lori Stokes ,s he has attended college, but never graduated. She is insecure. Bill and Mike tyson had problems because of her, she did used to fuck with Mike Tyson and when Mike thinks u r fucked up, well just eat yourself into oblivion.
She is fat-the rich YT’s do not approve.
She just sounds STUPID to be Bill & Camile’s daughter

Exactly!!
In actuality she is limiting herself. She is not a very well rounded person. Being well rounded doesn’t mean just flying to holiday in Switzerland, London and Germany or flying for dinner in St. Tropez and then again in LA. It is about relating to all people. Why do you think these presidental candidates go over the whole country, to blue collar and white collar neighborhoods, corporate buildings and factory run towns? They want all constituents to know they can related to anybody. Now I understand she is not running for president but it is so sad that she cannot even understand the struggles of the impoverished because she wasn’t around them. She is not well rounded at all and that is sad and truthfully I did expect a bit more from her, especially the way the quote started off.
Bill Cosby’s daughter speaks out
Monday, August 11th 2008, 4:00 AM
Evin Cosby can relate to criticism Sen. Barack Obama has to face about being a member of the African-American elite.
“My own people used to say to me, ‘You speak like a white woman,’” said the youngest daughter of Bill and Camille Cosby at her chic new boutique, PB & Caviar, in Tribeca.
“What does that even mean, anyway? Everyone has their way of speaking and living their life. No one should be judging and assuming that because I’m black, I have to speak in that hip-hop way. That’s something I prefer not to do.”
The presidential candidate graduated from Harvard Law School – which some people use as an excuse to say he’s out of touch with the African-American poor — even though he was a community organizer for years.
“I always went to private schools – Bank Street elementary, Columbia Prep – so I was surrounded by people like me. Not so much African-American, but privileged. I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle. But my dad is very into helping people from his own community in Philadelphia.”
The beauty also studied fashion design at F.I.T., and she’s put it to use advising customers at her comfy shop at 88 Thomas St., near the Odeon. Cosby carries such labels as Vanita Rose, Anna Sui, Sestra Moja and Interluid for women, as well as clothing for children – thus the “peanut butter & caviar” name.
Her comedian father encouraged her to open her own business, and it must be working. She opened the doors Thursday night and says she’s already sold 36 pairs of Heelarius high-heels for babies.

Well her stuff looks like stuff purchased from a local good will store. It isn’t quality at all. I doubt she wears anything from her store. She wants to fit in. I am sure she has no plus size items on her rack. Remember she is privileged. She wants to be like white and not like right. Being that is “all she knows” anyway.
F*ck that fat assed bitch.. forget her.. BUT did anyone peep how Camille has just let herself GO?? and please don’t even start on folks gettin fat passes cause they are old..

gurl im fine and it was short, lol, monday is yet another long day for me. and busy too, i couldnt even get on bossip untill like 10am
Wow, she really is making the black bourgeoisie look stupid as hell…”I speak well, not like those other Negroes, so I can’t relate to them” seems to be what she is saying.
I grew up in a working class/poor family and went to shitty public schools and yes, I was still taught to “speak well” at home regardless. Yes, I had to deal with being called an “oreo” at school because I “spoke so well” aka “like a white person” and was teased for doing well in school…luckily I had a group of black friends dealing with the same issues trying to do well and make it despite the nonsense. I went on to college while many of my classmates did not do so well. Point is, she’s not special for dealing with those issues, PLUS she grew up PRIVILEGED…so big f—ing deal! I’m studying medicine and I can say that Ms. Cosby represents what I DON’T want to be when I am successful…looking down on your people and not doing a damn thing to help them-oh, except selling HIGH HEELS for children. SMDH
NICOLE RICHIE WENT TO PRIVATE SCHOOL TOO. WHAT’S HER POINT.
@ HF
“I feel her on the way that some of us b sometimes, she sounds like she’s blogging on Bossip:
“…I went to private school… I got my PhD in Nuclear Astrophyscs… and _________________________.” (fill in the blank)
a) “…the black men all dated ‘Becky’.”
b) “…hanging out on Bossip is how I make the day go faster”.
c) “…’extricate’ is not a word.”
I wish people would stop assuming that hip-hop culture represents BLACK culture in totality.”

Co-Sign!!! 100% (”c” above was a funny day!)
Quite snobbish…..
But still black and fat.
Other than his son, I’ve never seen any of his children….This is a first.
Black people don’t like anyone. Learn it, accept it, and move on. You’ll die lonely looking for black acceptance.

that right there is a true statement!!
You shouldnt be looking to accepeted by ANYBODY but yourself and the Lord
@ Nanny
and so did Sanaa Lathan, not to mention went to Stanford or one of those ivy league tops schools
what exactly is her point?
To me it seems like shes just denouncing her race. Speaking hip hop, lol, wow!!
@ Mandah!
Oh I am sorry to hear that Momma. I have the day off tomorrow so I will be getting some things done. Other than that not much is going on!
WELL HER LIFESTYLE SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT HER A GYM AND SOME WEIGHTS TOO!!! LMAO
I understand her. Gut bucket negroes hang with gut bucket negroes. Middle class negoes hang with middle class negroes.
If you think different then ask yourself whne was the last time u hung out with a crack head.
She is very sheltered and I guess Bill wants all of his people to be whitewashed like she is and thats why he is always talkin shit. She should shut the fuck up and I dont know why anyone asked her opinion.
@ V
Very well said!!!
You can tell she had a lot of privileged donuts, ice cream, and high class milkshakes growing up.
“Black people don’t like anyone. Learn it, accept it, and move on. You’ll die lonely looking for black acceptance.”
That’s not altogether true.. We all know the black male would castrate his left nut for a white woman!!!
I feel like I’ve just read the rough draft of the Clueless movie.
I love being able to have an intriguing and eloquent conversation with someone and having a total slangfest the next minute with someone else.
Or better yet having both conversations with the same person in different situations.
bi-lingual
Coming from the mouth of Bill’s kid. Figures..
“Not so much African American, but privileged”
“his community”
“surrounded by people like me”
Hope she’s not pulled over late some night…
Might be in for a rude awakening…Not hating…Could’nt hate on such a classless and clueless individual. One generation away from sheer poverty and the bitch acts like the queen of Sheba.
@I’m Just Me
Sis… I thought your statement was funny as hell cause you know them boutiques for the most part don’t care stuff for plus size women….
It’s messed up, because she’s really out of touch with her own people/community via the last part of her statement:
“I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle. But my dad is very into helping people from his own community in Philadelphia”.
Seems like she don’t even got no interest to help folk out considering…
@Hot Sauce
MORE IGNORANCE TODAY AGAIN I SEE FROM YET ANOTHER INDIVDUAL WHO HAS A LACK OF COMPREHENSION SKILLS. “HOT SAUCE” OR WHOEVER YOU ARE, I CHALLENGE YOU TO GO BACK TO MY COMMENT, READ IT, TRY TO USE THE BEST OF YOUR THINKING WITHOUT DESTROYING ANY BRAINCELLS(IF THATS POSSIBLE) AND TELL ME WHERE MY COMMENT CAN BE TAKEN AS SIDITY. ACTUALLY IT WAS THE EXACT OPOSITE. BUT THEN AGAIN, JUDGING BY THE CONTENT OF YOUR COMMENT, THERE WAS NO WAY YOU COULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD, BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY LACK A FEW THINGS UPSTAIRS. SO AS FOR MY PREVIOUS REQUEST, SCRATCH THAT. DONT EVEN PUT YOURSELF THRU THE TURMOIL.(LOL)
Her father probably encouraged her to open a store because he knew she would not make it any where else because she is so immature.
As a parent you must feel bad about your child making comments like this when you are the image of the opposite.
I would not be surprised if he tries to clean it up with a press release tomorrow.
This is a good lesson to all parents “KEEP YA KIDS GROUNDED” OR they’ll end up like this
@Princess Aoki Lee(Check me out!)
I think it is quite obvious that Ms. Coby did not grow up in the hood. However there are thousands of black people who also did not grow up in the hood and do not speak in that hip hop way. Ms. Cosby sounds very classist and elitist to assume that “black people in whole” do not like her because of her diction, is akin to being a racist. Racist people judge all people by the color of the victims skin instead of their individual actions. I think that the black people who openly dislike the young Ms. Cosby dislike her on the basis of her ego, aka hyping herself up in her mind because she is the daughter of a famous/wealthy man.
The day that Ms. Cosby is reminded by a white person of her caliber,she will get the realization that to some Whites/Blacks/Ignorant Fools she is just a “negress in a benz”.
Instead of worrying about who dsnt like her, maybe she should figure how why she dsnt like herself enough to just “be”. SMDH at her ignorance….
————————————————-
My point exactly.
HI ALL! wanna date sexy and hot girls? i am pretty sure that i am just the one you want
i think i am special coz i am a girl in uniform…. iam just here wanna know some guys who respect girls in uniform. u can check out here ** Militarysoulmate.c om ** find me catch me!
I agree with Sxyqblondie there is a way to speak proper English and keeping your same voice the same. Some people change their voice altogether and you can not tell it is them unless you are looking right at them.
Now sometimes I change my voice at work just to be funny, because sometimes people are trying soooo hard to be professional and they think it means acting like white folks.
The grim reapor done came thru this weekend blazing taking some of our finest why is this babbling n*gga still here and we are forced to listen to him?
ok, i have met her and her bad ass kids and she is not a bad person, but she does act like she is up here and you are down there. there is nothing wrong with speaking correctly, but there is something wrong with looking down and saying things like, “No one should be judging and assuming that because I’m black, I have to speak in that hip-hop way”. proves your intelligence.
Let’s keep it real, most celebrities shelter their children and that includes hip hop artist. Also, I know where she is coming from. I am not sheltered or anything like that. But my parents are West Indian and very strick. I had to speak a certain way and conduct myself a certain way. Even if I am talking to my friends if I start using slang my mother corrects me and I am a grow woman! I knew people who were like you talk white. But what does that mean? I am a black woman in america trying to do her thing and the fact that my people can come down on me because I conduct myself in a proper manner just boggles my mind. I have never once wanted to be white or act in a manner that is contrary to who I am. I would not necessarily have said hip hop way like she did but I understand what she was getting at. Today we use so many ebonics and slang that sometimes the english language gets lost in their. Kids today do not know there is a proper time for everything. Just like I use slang to talk to my friends, if I am addressing a teacher or another authority figure I know to throw that slang out the window and how to talk to them.So while she is sheltered, she does make a good point and I can definetly see where she is coming from.
IT AINT REALLY NOTHIN BUT NOISE(sxyQblondie)
Fukk off you overly toasted dawn of the dead looking ho. You need to get some blush or something to soften yo features you rigid looking bitch.
All of that “privilege” and education and the best she comes up with is opening…
A boutique?!?!!??
*and* where’s her hair stylist?? a woman of such prestige and distinction ought not go around wearing Wendy Williams like wigs.
I can understand where she is coming from. I didn’t grow up in the hood either, and in high school I was constantly referred to as the “white girl” Primarily it was due to the fact that I spoke proper English and performed well in school. At one point I tried to alter my speech to sound more urban, but it would come off as fake. One day I woke up and said the hell with it, I’m going to be me, educated and all.

************************************************************
EXACTLY SLIDE. She just want to sit on her posh throne like she is something spectacular. Funny thing is if she knew that those white folks were really saying about her behind her back shed wouldn’t be trying so hard to act like she is more like them than she is. Apparently her pork shaped shyt doesn’t stink. She smells like roses? You didn’t know? Where you been? Sounds more ignorant that most of us.
Well Bossip, can we SEE some pictures of Bill Cosby’s daughter? Why are y’all bombarding us with all these images of Mo’Nique?
The same way some Black children tease some other Black children about talking ‘white’ is the same way that those same will tease them back with THEY SOUND GHETTO or ride the little yellow bus. Everyone got teased for one reason or another.
Also most blacks don’t walk around sounding like her father’s cartoon characters so if that is all she knows AND she hasn’t grown up around too many Blacks that is her parent’s fault for teaching her that most Blacks are like that.
SMH at this post… they told her she sounds white? What were they trying to imply?
Black people are being undermined everyday…not just by other races but also by our own. I still can’t help but to LMAO at this quote… ridiculous.
there is a difference when you are teased as a kid this is true…but i think the majority of us are not talking about being teased as kids..more or less as teens, in college and even now in adulthood lets be realistic and real we know it happens

Yall do know that it is possible to speak proper english AND still sound black? Why is everyone acting like the only way Black people speak is in ebonics or with bad grammar and whites don’t? Where I was growing up the whites used to talk like ‘Dude that rave last night was wicked pissa!’ or ‘Me and Becka were like so fvckin trashed last night that we like totally forgot who the fack we hooked up with!’ WTF? Who says that them mofos speak ‘proper’ english all the time???

Oh puhleeze! People stay right on this messageboard all day clowning people for typos and incorrect grammar as well so just stop. To suggest that some undereducated Blacks (who she claims she’s never really been around???) had some sort of bearing on her self esteem because they teased her for how she talked is just foolish. It would have been more realistic for her to tell everyone about how the whites treated her for talking like them (not meaning PROPER english as much as VALLEY).
@ jjj
Hey you!
Yep.., “undermined” is what is happening to us. Too much breaking down & not enough building up>
Why are some people attacking her size and Monique for that matter? Most cats will still hit. As a matter of fact, that’s probably what she needs, a n!gga to tear dat azz up, i betcha she’ll be a talkin’ that hip hop talk after that!!
This says it all “I don’t really have a connection with people who didn’t have my lifestyle”
At least she is keeping it real as opposed to her father who keeps swooping down into ghettos wagging his rich little finger at people.
I actually agree with her. Why would an interviewer ask her about poorer blacks, and why do poorer blacks have to control black culture. It doesn’t happen in any other culture. Mainstream America only wants to acknowledge black artistry so long as it is weak and socio-economically powerless.
Think about it: Nobody asks Angelina Jolie how she feels about the trailor parks.
@Hot Sauce
AS THIS WILL BE MY LAST COMMENT TO YOU STRICTLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE COMPLETELY PROVED MY POINT. YOU ARE APPARENTLY INCAPABLE OF INTELLIGENTLY DISPUTING SOMEONE. THEREFORE IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF VERY VALUABLE TIME EVEN ATTEMPTING TO BRING YOU TO THE LIGHT. SO TO YOU I SAY HAVE A GOOD AFTERNOON..(I DONT DO BLOG BEEFING) AND THANK YOU FOR SHOWING EVERYONE JUST HOW IGNORANT YOU ARE WITHOUT ANYONE FORCING YOU TO DO SO.
And I hate the notion of proper English in most cases.
White people use slang all the time with out derision but ostensibly black variations of the English language are always viewed under scrutiny
There is nothing wrong with being privileged but she sounds stuck up and bourgie…
I clicked on the link to read the full story and saw that Evin Cosby was sharing her experience in relation to some of the criticism being lobbed at Obama: “Evin Cosby can relate to criticism Sen. Barack Obama has to face about being a member of the African-American elite.”
While her tone may come across as a bit elitist or classist, it certainly is a reality that some blacks are accused by both blacks and non-blacks of talking or acting “white,” and there is a perception among some that academic achievement is a “white” or “uncool” goal.
@ preggo me
I don’t care how much money her Daddy makes, but she is offensive. And don’t assume that everyone who comes down on her is because they are not doing well themselves? Here are some quotes of what she said:
“I always went to private schools – Bank Street elementary, Columbia Prep – so I was surrounded by people like me.”
first she lists the schools… can’t you tell she is bragging? Pls i dont have to hate on her. I went to Cornell and Harvard and I am STILL offended.
Not so much African-American, but privileged.
(She is telling you that she is separate from most African Americans)
I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle.
(Meaning I only hang out with other wealthy people. What a snob!)
But my dad is very into helping people from his own community in Philadelphia.”
do i still need to spell out what is wrong with what she said??? ????
Are you a CUTIE pie or a STUPID pie???
………………..
I agree with everything you said except for that it is offensive. How come black people always have to be viewed as a unit. I respect her for keeping it real enough to say I don’t know anything about the struggle.
What she clearly doesn’t understand is that to whom much is given much is expected. But that’s just her own ignorance I wasn’t personally offended just amazed by her stupidity.
On a side note, Evin and her sister, Erinn, reportedly both went to Spelman. She has also been involved with charity work connected with a nonprofit named for her late brother:
Cosby’s daughter, Evin, said her mother and father were cleaning out a closet recently when they came across a batch of the sweaters her dad wore when he played Huxtable on NBC’s “The Cosby Show” from 1984 to 1992.
“I pounced on these sweaters,” she said Thursday, adding she figured they could help a charity named for her brother, Ennis, raise a substantial amount of money.
Now three of them are going up for sale on eBay, with the proceeds earmarked for the Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation.
The nonprofit organization, which raises money to benefit educational programs, is named in honor of Cosby’s only son, who was about to begin his doctoral studies when he was murdered in Los Angeles in 1997.
She sounds eloquently ignorant!!!
Well Bossip, can we SEE some pictures of Bill Cosby’s daughter? Why are y’all bombarding us with all these images of Mo’Nique?
____________________________________________
I honestly was thinking the same think you just wrote it! She has a very strong resemblance to Mo’Nique… LMAO!!
its dosent matter what school or area you grow up in. You can be well educated. i grew up in the hood in Watts, Ca. And I have a very prestigious job at columbia pictures..I the folks that I work with in this industry who are not african american do not talk proper.. They talk more hood than any hood nicca..she’s really just special..poor thang..

Whats good in the hood ysll?
Clearly she’s got a little more growing up to do.Should’ve just stuck to talking about her daddy-financed/closed in a year boutique.Cos should’ve bankrolled a CURVES fitness franchise for girlie.
Wow! I understand not wanting to be judged for speaking standard English. I can understand being more comfortable with one’s peers based on a shared social and economic bracket, BUT I cannot understand opening your mouth publicly to distance yourself and put down another group of people, those who speak “hip hop.” (Is that a language now?)
Some things are better left unsaid!
@hannibal
lmao!! u wrong 4 that!!
who cares how she talks. She looks like Monique….
maybe that is why she has all this hostility, too close for comfort
oh and “talking proper” does not equal talking white
Sheltered my a$$. She needs to go to church and learn a new word – humility – so she can learn to “relate” to the little people.
HEYYYYY M-DADDY!! HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND?
BILL COSBY IS OLD ENOUGH TO BE MY ANCESTOR!
I agree with her on one thing. Exactly what is “Sounding white”. What does that mean? I got that growing up as well. Sometimes I feel its sad that a few of our brothers and sisters subscribe to the bullshit that white people have told us for years – that we can’t be as educated as they are.
they don’t teach class and empathy at her private school…wtf is “hip hop way”
Why do we care what she says, she may be a Cosby, but does that give her instant credence?
who cares how she talks. She looks like Monique….
maybe that is why she has all this hostility, too close for comfort
u crazy
Evin Cosby is the epitome of privileged ignorance. She has grown up with all of the tools to become a well rounded individual but hasn’t taken hold of any of them. I’d rather be the kind of person that she looks down upon because the people who she considers to be “like her” are clearly out of touch with themselves and reality.
Evin needs to experience life outside of her little bubble, life in the real world. That’s all I have to say about her; her ignorance is astonishing to me.
WASN’T SHE ONE OF THE KLUMPS IN THE NUTTY PROFESSOR MOVIE?!
i speak the “hip hop way” all day even in front of white folks and i catch them tryin to speak the “hip hop way” also lol…it is what it is

Jeremiah Wright said the same thing at one of the functions he spoke for this year, I think it was the Detroit NAACP. He pointed out how no one told the Kennedy’s they were speaking incorrectly with their Boston accents, but people are quick to point it out when Blacks do it.

Speaking hip hop? Does that go with your hip hop clothes you buy, in order to say you are down, your badge of honor?
Look NIGS, there is no speaking white, because you can speak like trailer trash and that wouldn’t be cool.
You can speak like intelligent Black Folks, and Dumb NIGs would say you are speaking white, who cares what DUMB NIGS think?
LOOK DO YOU THINK JAYZ OR PDIDDY’s KIDS WILL GO TO SOME GHETTO SCHOOL, TO SPEAK LIKE DUMB NIGS?

You are the comedian of Bossip… LMAO!
Hi Da Truff Hurtz, SxyQBlondie, Amber, It’s Just Me, and anyone else I left off.
I use slang myself in certain settings (not at work) — I call it “code switching,” and I think many African Americans also alter their speech with different audiences. I do have my pet peeves, such as the use of the non-word “conversate.”
@Hannibal

What’s she’s saying is that she isn’t like those “other blacks”!

But she is. A really wealthy privileged person with REAL pedigree would never utter such nonsense, especially to the press. Children of the nouveau riche (1st generation wealth) tend to be arrogant and rather snobbish.
First of all, rich people have to understand that they are very lucky. Their good fortunes are accidents of birth. She was lucky to be born into a black family where her father made lots of money in the entertainment industry. She hasn’t worked for any money, but her parents have.
All of the great wealthy families do charity work to appease the poor masses.
During this recession, I predict that it will be “unfashionable” to be ostentatious about your wealth and privileges.

I can’t believe how quick people are to jab at someone’s weak point. Instead of pointing our her short comings and the fact that she is not a size 2, perhaps we can take what she said as short sighted and move on. I believe Karma is real, and negative energy does not bring peace and love. Remember words hurt and we may be able to say sorry, but we can never take the words back. One love : – )
She should take some of her money and join Jenny Craig, ’cause she’s fat!
I agree with whoever said she is more “hip hop” than she realizes having dated Mike Tyson and been hooked on drugs and having multiple baby daddies.
I also agree that her schooling should have nothing to do with who she relates to. I have many friends who went to Collegiate, Nightingale, Trinity, Stuyvesant etc. Some may even have more money than her father, and they do not behave as if they absolutely can not in anyway relate to someone who is of the exact same race.
JENNY CRAIG WON’T HELP HER FAT ASS, SHE NEEDS TO HAVE A MEETING WITH GOD!
I can’t hate on the women for speaking how she feels. Yes she’s completely out of touch but, what’s wrong with being privileged? I’d take Bill over my Dad any day since mine was what you call a rolling stone and Bill is what you call rolling in the dough. Bill could adopt me right now!
@ Sydney
Hey lady! I feel you on the “code switching” thing but I tend to stay in the center with my speech & not got to far to either side.
Has anyone read ‘Our Kind of People’ by Lawrence Otis Graham?
“He/she sounds white” is of the Dumbest things that we say about each other and trust me, there are a quite a few.
“Good Hair” for starters…
@ MistaO…….. You said: This ole, “Black people don’t like me because I speak white” argument is old, tired and worn out. As if saying this grants one some type of “pass”.
Now we all know there’s a marked difference between speaking proper english and speaking to SOUND white! And the latter is what most Black people who bring this up are refering to, not the fact that a Black person is speaking properly…
——————————————————————————————————-
Precisely!! One can speak proper English, and still maintain one’s blackness. They are not diametrically opposed. Even If you happen to be a black English professor in tenure at Harvard, without ever seeing you.
Over the phone, I should still be able to detect, that you are a black man.
Black people please pursue higher education.
However, never let higher education, evaporate your blackness, your flavor.
In other words, do not allow yourself to become white washed.
We all know there is absolutely no flavor, on the other side. ARTOFWAR.
@Aoki Lee
NOPE, BUT GREEN EGGS & HAM WAS ONE HELL OF A NOVEL!
I hate to hear people use that terminology (talking white) it means nothing. Talking Proper is what I generally assume they mean. And even worse I hate to hear people talk ignorant like saying “She always (be) calling me to come over” I hear grown men talking like this all the time they sound dumb like Plies for instance.

I am proud of the black man on the USA swimming team… he showed people like Cosby’s daughter, that we are great competent people who are making progress! lol
JUST BLACK WOMEN…
LOL @ sxyQ I HAVE 911 ON SPEED DIAL AND A STUNT GUN JUST IN CASE.(LOL)
YA KNOW!! I got a stalkerish chick in real life. Said she gon make my life a living hell. I’m thinkin DAMN, all that cause I dont want to be with her or hit anymore?!?! I know it aint cause I’m that thrillin she just got problems and dont wanna face em so tryin to make me a issue. SMH, I just pray for her and tryin to STAY FAR AWAY.
Hey Da Truff Hurtz
How do you define going “too far?” Is sounding like Carlton Banks (Fresh Prince of Bel Air) going “too far?” lol
@Aoki Lee
I’ve heard of that book, but I haven’t read it. Have you?
Aoki Lee
Nawww, but have you read the black womans guide to suckin dick, that way you can get and keep a man you lonely ho.
i remember your daddy making money off of black soul slang, and Jive talk, it was ok then, now we turn or backs on the less priveleged, tell that bitch to hit the priveledged GYM
Bill Cosby is no saint!! Just like the Kings and the Kennedys, great wealth and power come with a price tag.
Bill Cosby “bought” his children degrees at their colleges. Yes, I use the word “bought”. If your father gave several million dollars to your college, you’d get a degree with honors too. He bought access to a privileged world for his children.
m Daddy. Kzzy and sxyq.. what good this Monday morning.. how was the week-ends?… pretty sad news huh about bernie and Issac!!!!
Niggas think its cute to talk like kids -listen to The Dream, Plies and various other rappers talk like illiterate bastard kids, there a difference in slang and talking like a tot-tongued little project kid who’s parent won’t take the time to teach them how to pronounce the words correctly.
Bill Cosby started Ebonics that his great contribution to black america.
I UNDERSTANDS HOW SHE FEELS…SHE IS BEING DEFENSIVE BECAUSE US BLACK FOLK CAN BE GUILTY OF CRITICIZING NON ETHNIC SOUNDING, ACTING & LOOKING BLACK FOLK WHEN WE ARE ON “THE SOUL PATROL”. TO EACH HIS/HER OWN. LET HER BE ERIN..I AM MELISSA…I AM SELF ACTUALIZED TOO AND DON’T GIVE A #$%& WHAT PEOPLE SAY!
I have many friends who went to Collegiate, Nightingale, Trinity, Stuyvesant etc.

@Aoki Lee
I just came across a synopsis of the book you mentioned, and it sounds like a study of the so-called “Talented Tenth”:
“Stressing the importance of surrounding themselves with “like-minded people,” the black elite enrolled their children in certain social clubs, which were training grounds for the social graces and created the foundation of a black old-boy network. Graham stops short of offering an apology for behavior that is hard to characterize as anything other than snobbish (he himself had a nose job when he was 26 so that he would have a less “Negroid” look). But he does bemoan a dwindling interest in tradition, and he suggests that it wasn’t such a bad thing to grow up in the 1960s and ’70s without the “sense of anger and dissatisfaction the rest of black America” expressed in those years.”
Hot Sauce- Your ignorance amuses me you really have turd for brains!
She would look much better if she had her mothers nose…

@SHOMONDO
YEAH, I LEARNED EARLY TO DO SCREENING ON THESE FOOLS BEFORE GETTING TOO INVOLVED. NOT TOO LONG AGO I WAS TALKING TO THIS FOOL, AND 2 WEEKS AFTER WE STARTED TALKING, HE’S LIKE “I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL WE END UP BEING TOGETHER” THAT WAS THE FIRST RED FLAG. THEN HE CAME TO VISIT ME(HE LIVED IN THE NEXT CITY) AND WE WERE CHILLIN, EVERYTHING WAS OKAY AT FIRST. WE WENT TO DINNER, CAME BACK TO THE CRIB, SAT DOWN AND TALKED, ECT ECT. I HAPPENED TO DOZE OFF, AND MY POCKET BOOK WAS ON THE FLOOR BY MY FOOT. I WOKE UP AND HAD THIS WEIRD FEELING. I WENT INTO MY POCKET BOOK LOOKING FOR MY CELL PHONE, AND IT WAS GONE!! I GO TOWARD THE BATHROOM, WERE THIS IGNANT’ SUCKA WAS AT. ASKED HIM WHERE MY PHONE WAS, HE HAD GONE INTO MY POCKET BOOK, WENT INTO THE BATHROOM WITH MY PHONE, AND HAD STARTED GOING THRU THE DAMNED PHONE!! WE HAD ONLY BEEN TALKING FOR 1 MONTH, AND THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME LIKE GOING ON A DATE WITH THIS NEGROE!! I HANDED HIM DISMISSAL PAPERS IMMEDIATELY!! IM LIKE YOU GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE WITH YOUR CRAZY ASS!!(LOL)
Hannibal why don’t your ape looking self retire back to your cage?
AVERAGE WHITE GAL, WHY THE HELL ARE U IN BOSSIP, DON’T U FEEL A LITTLE LONELY?
trollllllllllllllllllllllllll
heyyyyyy hanibal?!!!!!
I can’t believe that people are still talking about this chick..Yeah yeah yeah she was sheltered..who cares if this bitch grew up with money..Money didn’t buy good looks or weight watcher meals..Who cares
Obviously, since money is no object and she has brains galore, why doesn’t she do something useful with her life……….like be a doctor, lawyer, astronaut, accountant, teacher or whatever!!
Who in the hell needs another overpriced clothing boutique for bored rich women.
WASSUP MS. SUGAR WALLS? U STILL HATE ME OR ARE WE JUST GONNA MOVE ON?!
@Sydney,
I digress…but the book is a interesting read. He talks about the normal stuff you know: The Links, Jack & Jill ect.. but then he talks about how the truly elite blacks categorize social standings by looking at the way one attains their wealth. They said someone like Bryant Gumble’s family would be accepted but Bill Cosby would not simply because he earned his fortune thru the Entertainment Industry.
It’s funny but some folks truly believe the only means of black folks becoming rich is either through sports or entertainment & there are plenty of wealthy black families who amassed their wealth thru other avenues.
Perusing the various comments on Evin’s statement. I believe some people make a distinction between being privileged and being black. The same goes for being “exposed” to black culture. I guess you first have to define black culture because I also believe many people have different thoughts on what black culture is and entails.
Nothing is wrong with her saying “I don’t really have a connection to other people who didn’t have my lifestyle.” That’s her reality. It’s the same for so many people. You tend to “get in where you fit in.” Why force yourself anywhere if YOU aren’t comfortable. It doesn’t make her any less black.
By the way, she wasn’t the one with the drug problem. That was one of the older sisters, I believe Erinn.
Sxyq… whats sup girl…not to good of a weekend.. losing 2 black brothers.. but i am chilling listening to issac’s old songs on you tube (i stand accussed) and mac man’s comedy on def jam!!

I think Hannibal is only making his/her/its comments to get attention… if he/she/it claims to hate black (beautiful) women so much, then leave. Don’t stay on a black blog where you are bombarded with post about black people/women.
Just a thought…

@Hannibal: Hi Hanny! What’s popping? the pimples on jjj forehead? LMAO!
Who REALLY takes ‘Hannibal’ serious?
I don’t…cause I know he’s really gonna vote for OBAMA…he just don’t wanna jinx the man…right Hannibal?
Bottom line is Bill Cosby’s family may have riches but they are NOT without the same drama & difficulties which plague most of us.
Erin Cosby has become a sort of an enigma at Spelman College. Where legend has it she was notorious for throwing the craziest drug fueled parties & was a known coke whore through out her undergrad day’s. She later accused Iron Mike Tyson of rape before her parents outrage lead her to seek drug treatment.
Bill’s one & only son was a homosexual man who spent numerous years getting by at Morehouse college before graduating. He later met his demise on the side of an interstate some may speculate a rendezvous gone wrong? who knows either way the Cosby parents know what it’s like to mourn the loss of a child just the same as the Jenkins,Thompsons, Johnson’s ect….
@KZZ
What happened at this Jamican Festival thingy and what’s this about a shooting taking place?
Oh yeah, good afternoon… I saw you saying what’s up earlier – Thank you
@Aoki Lee
Thanks, I’ll put it on my reading list. I think there are other writers who have explored the black middle-/upper-class as well. I agree with you that there is a perception that blacks mainly attain wealth through sports or entertainment-related fields, and I think popular culture encourages it. For instance, when you see well-to-do blacks depicted on TV and/or movies, it seems that many of them are either athletes or entertainers, IMHO. One thing I loved about The Cosby SHow is that it showed an upwardly mobile family headed by a doctor and lawyer, and there are a number of black CEOs, including a growing number of black women, scientists, etc. Our diversity is not always reflected in “mainstream” culture.
Hey sxyQ and Braided One!
What?!?!?! I have no pimples on my forehead it is just sweat!!
Hannibal I may sound harsh but I am here LMAO at your comments… I thought you were joking just wanted to make sure

Has anyone read ‘Our Kind of People’ by Lawrence Otis Graham?
=============================================================
I read it about 8 or 9 years ago when I was fresh out of high school and trying to figure out who I fit in with. My family is very pro urban experience so my mother raised me in the city, but I’ve been told I have “suburban” values. Whatever that means. That book answered no questions for me, it was more of a “social thing”, I don’t belong to Jack and Jill, didn’t finish college, I’m not light skinned, or dark skinned, yes, I have college educated ancestors, but that did nothing for us living in the back of the woods as teachers and factory managers.
It was a good “history” book to me, I’d recommend a child read it so they can know there’s more of out their achieving than what we’ve seen in the MSM.
Kzzy… hey girl… yeah i know you thought of me and Brooklyn m we always gave bernie’s joke a shot out, you know bernie never forgot his Chicago roots and Issac was the man Black Moses, i am going now to listen again to his i stand accused song.. its so sad!!
@SLides: Yeah I just typed what happened I wasn’t near it but I saw all of the Kaos! I went the opposite direction, then somebody had the audacity to scratch the side of my vehicle, I am 2 through with CT right now, my cousins feel really bad! but there is no need they do not have control over other folks craziness!

Hey Rozza, whats shakin?
@Sydney,
I watched a marathon of My Super Sweet 16 and the few times they showed black kids it was like mandatory that they “explained” what their parents did to attain their wealth. Usually the father was involved in the music business some kind of way, either by being an entertainer {Diddy, LA Reid, Gerald Levert ect} or by working within the music entertainment Industry.
What struck me as funny was the fact that NONE of the rich white kids ever had to explain what their parents did to attain their wealth not one of them!!
WHAT UP ROZZA?
@ DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!
Whateva! I am not bragging, I am just being honest when I say that my country Jamaica has the fastest men in the world! They are Asafa Powell and Usain Bolt (they are record holders); they specialize in the men’s 100 and 200 meter races. They are the ones who will be taking these American runner’s spotlight which they always do…Jamaica will get gold in the men’s 100 and 200 meters race at the Olympics! I also expect the best from them in the other races as well; and also from the other men who are also great.
Our women runners are also apart of the creme de la creme of fast runners in the world so most def can expect them to burn up the track as well. Some of these women are Veronica Campbell, Sherone Simpson, Sheron Stewart, Mrs. Foster…and the list of fantastic runners go on!
We also have outstanding athletes in other sporting areas as well…so you can bet your ass that you will keep hearing Jamaica’s national anthem at the Olympics.
Bill’s daughter is way too old to be claiming the sheltered life. She has been out in the world, and yes, she is a product of priviledge. However, she needs to stop trying to appeal by whining about her upbringing. She sounds like someone who made themselves feel better by helping out at a soup kitchen once in a blue moon on Thanksgiving.
I speak, read, and write proper English as well – what is her deal?
^^^^ @ Rozza that above comment was from me. BOSSIP IS F*CKING UP WITH ME AND SLIDES INFO AGAIN! DAMMIT BOSSIP…GET IT TOGETHER PLEASE!!
@ROZZA: ~~~~KZZ sends out (BIG HUUGGGSSS)! SHE DID NOT FORGET YOU ON PURPOSE IN ROLE CALL.LOL!
okay, who actually says they don’t associate with people from other socioeconomic backgrounds? Come on??! Obviously, she’s got no self esteem and she uses her wealth and her dad’s celebrity as a way of compensating or wearing a mask to hide the fact that she’s got issues. nobody would ever say that, especially if they were raised by a man who has devoted much of his life’s work to inspiring and encouraging African Americans. I’m sure he loathed this little sound bite. And the name of her boutique really couldn’t be more ghetto, huh?
@ DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!
You are full of comedy and laughter… are you sure you and Hannibal are not related?
M-Daddy and Slide! What’s up sweeties! Smooches to you both.

LMFAO @ DA TRUFF HURTZ!!! THRU DENTAL RECORDS HUH? LOL. FOOLS ARE CRAZY. THE ONLY THING THATS EVER COME CLOSE TO A SITUATION LIKE THAT HAPPENING TO ME, WAS WHEN I WAS 19. I WAS GOING TO ENLIST IN THE MILITARY AND THE MEPS CENTER IS IN RICHMOND. SO THEY HAD US STAYING AT THIS HOTEL ROOMS WHERE 2 ROOMS ADJOINED TO ONE DOOR. 2 GUYS IN ONE ROOM, 2 GIRLS IN THE OTHER. WELL, YOU DIDNT KNOW ANY OF THE PEOPLE YOU WERE ROOMING WITH, AND THE IDIOT GIRL I ROOMED WITH LAYED DOWN AND WENT TO SLEEP AND FORGOT TO LOCK THE DAMNED DOOR!! SOME WHITE GUY FROM THE NEXT ROOM, WALKS INTO OUR ROOM (THINKING THAT IM SLEEP) SITS DOWN ON THE END OF MY BED AND STARTS LICKING MY DAMNED FEET AND ANKLES!! I KICKED HIM SQUARE IN HIS FORHEAD!! AND HE CHARGED BACK INTO HIS OWN ROOM. PEOPLE ARE SUCH LUNATICS MAN!!

When it comes to American benifits you are all about USA but you want to claim Jamaica just so long as you don’t really have to be a citizen of Jamica. SMH

Well that sign is just as dumb because Jamaicans are considered West Indians, the last I heard so that would be either redundant or intentionally exclusive. Either way it is incorrect.
I hope you also never attend any other outdoor event again as most have had some sort of violence occur (summer jam, rap concerts, tennis matches, olympic events, funerals etc.). Just stay in your house and you just may be safe.

I noticed that too. I also noticed that I found myself waiting for them to explain it myself! Of course I’ve always wanted to know about the white kids but with the black kids it was like I demanded to know.

Ok, yeah I read it… Sorry to hear that
I’m glad that you made it out safe… But sad to hear about the tragic shootings and lives being loss and some fool putting innocent people & children in harms way…
I’m considering going up to the Carribean Festival thingy in Brooklyn… You know the Annual West Indian Parade that goes down Eastern Parkway around Labor Day Weekend… WAY TOO many police for somebody to try something stupid…
I went last year and it was somewhat ok… But most of the people said it was better the previous years before and I’m kinda thinking about giving it just one more try…
The problems that I had with last years parade was that it started ridiculously late (big surprise) and it wasn’t fluid = huge gaps in between the floats (30 minutes to an hour)… It was funny how even though the police tried as hard as they could to keep people from spilling into the street and joing the marches & floats they STILL did…
I’d love to see those costumes again though…
(*Translation = I’d have no problem seeing those half naked women shakin’ their a$$es, excuse me – dancing again though)
@Sydney-
Her name is Maritza Correia. She’s Guyanese and Puerto Rican. She also has world titles in swimming. I was like, GET IT GIRL!
But if she gets too big for her britches and lets Cullen go, then hey, I’m here to pick up the pieces.
There was a brother on the fencing team in the last Olympics, I don’t remember if he was a coach or a team member, but the a$$ on that man…. WOW! He might have been in HS, but WOW, the buns on that fellah….

@Sydney-
I also think Anthony Lee Ervin is cute, and you know how old black folks are, we saw him compete on TV in 2000, and they were trying to figure out if he was black, hispanic, or Jewish. When he got his gold medal, they mentioned he was the 1st African American to obtain gold in the swimming events, I was laughing at my grandmother saying, “I told you he was black”…. Turns out he is half Jewish, he’s not as cute as Cullen, but girl, I’ll take a swimmer ANY day.
@WhatsYoursIsMine
LOL! Ok, confession: I was in lust watching the parade of athletes — some of those countries have flawless, and I do mean, flawless, men.
I have to admit that one of my favorite parts of the Olympics — watching the stunning display of muscles and all, lol.
I just have to ask, is it just me or did the U.S. athletes’ outfits pale in comparision to some of the other nations? I wasn’t feeling the berets. . .

Morning Y’all ! Happy monday.
@ teedy-exactly, she just sounds like a be-yatch. How she sounds is less of an issue than her attitude, which I’m sure is cocky and superior.
@ so much to say-how right you are: girlfriend is well-fed and well-read. Just the fact that she said ‘hip-hop talk’ makes me want to smack her. WTF is that???
I’m from Philly and I take offense to her comment: as if everyone in Philadelphia is struggling to speak and live day-to-day, without the help of her wonderful father. Please! I grew up in the inner-city. I went to public school and then spent several years in private school (I preferred the public school). I learned how to speak well because the people around me-at home were well-spoken. In addition, I read alot as a child and that contributed to the way I spoke/speak. Some kids accused me of speaking white too-it went in one ear and out of my ass. Because I know who and what I am and I can speak well and still respresent my blackness-proudly. Cosby’s daughter looks and sounds like she has some issues.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I’m from Philly too…Mill Creek & Abbottsford Projects…the kids in my neighborhood called me white because of the way I presented myself…they had the upmost respect for me because I had it for myself…I had to remind a white co-worker who was talking about black people that I was black…she looked at me like I had two heads and said “your not black…” WTF…all day every day I’M BLACK!! and proud of it!!
Hey Sydney! How was your weekend?
@sxyQ: It does feel real good outside this morning, and afternoon. Hell – I’m unemployed, so I might as well enjoy it!
@Kzz: I am from Waterbury and I ALWAYS HATED going to Hartford and Bridgeport. THey trry so hard to be thugs, and front like they are from New York. A bunch of Buffoons! I am glad you got out okay.

ROTFLMAO…calm down, you sound like my granny. I am in Jamaica, the parish of St. Catherine to be exact. Why the hostility?? Jamaica is not perfect, no country is, but the Jamaican people are doing something positive representing their country; showing people like you that there is more to us than what you claim to be a country “in shambles”. I LOVE JAMAICA AND I AM JUST SHOWING MY SUPPORT. It is called patriotism. SMH
@Rozza
My weekend was good, girl, how was yours?
@ jjj
@ adriana lima’s #1
OK You must not be really reading what I write. Hannibal & I have little in common with our comments. We actually went at it a couple times back in the day.
jjj I give props to Jamaica & it’s Oly team.., I just think the US some gold medal talent too.
Anyway, I think that chick “tj” called you out!
I’m tired as hell
@I’m Just Me
Yeah, it just seems like there have been a number of deaths this year — it’s sad to me.
@ real woman
Wrong! The difference is I realize I am American. I don’t go around talking about how great Africa is when it’s not or say the Runners from my country are going to kill the runners from America. I picked a country and stick to it.
@Afiya: She sounds like someone who says “Eeeewww – what are those – chitterlings (not chitlin’s)? I couldn’t possibly eat something so…so…GHE-TOE. I’m just going to eat this watercress sandwich. Thanks.” Then she goes back at two in the morning for those same chitlin’s, and pork chop sandwich and an orange soda. Or red kool-aid. She will gobble it all down in a closet at the back of the house so no one smells it on her.
GOOD AFTERNOON SLIDE
@HANNIBAL
YOU DESERVE A WHOOPIN BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO ACT!!(IN THE VOICE THAT YOUR MOMS USED TO GIVE YOU RIGHT BEFORE SHE TORE OFF AND BEAT DAT AZZ…LOL) YOU GET FOLKS FEATHERS ALL RUFFED UP AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA THAT YOU DO IT FOR THAT PURPOSE.LOL
@M-DADDY

@ jjj
then chick why don’t you go on a Jamaican website. Matter of fact why don’t you go outside and start a charity or something with the way your fool country is acting. SMH Jamaica? GTFOH. Useless country and yes I said it.
@M-Daddy: What did you do this weekend that’s got you so tired?

Whats good Sydney?
I don’t think the chubby one is Erinn. Erinn is the cute one that looks like Camille, right?
WOWWWWW @SOME OF THE DISRESPECT IM SEING ON BOSSIP TODAY. WHOAAAAA

Thanks and I appreciate you always taking up for me, I appreciate it…
@Rozza♥
Thank you… I took me a while to think of a pic to use in my gravatar… Yeah that’s one of my favorite episodes too… The other character I was thinking about using was the “Tron” Character (Real World) = dude from “the Street”, who wears gold teeth, sunglasses and that Gucci Outfit that Gucci doesn’t make…
@Sydney-
I won’t go over the list of things I’d do for a swimmer. *wink wink* OMG: did I just admit that?!
Anywho- I didn’t get to see the opening ceremonies, but I love to see the Pacific Islanders, and the men of Sweden.
And girl, the Russians….. *fans self again* And the Japanese men. I think they are the hottest of the Asian delegations. Well, maybe tying with Korea….

@KZZ
Ok, yeah I read it… Sorry to hear that
I’m glad that you made it out safe… But sad to hear about the tragic shootings and lives being loss and some fool putting innocent people & children in harms way…
I’m considering going up to the Carribean Festival thingy in Brooklyn… You know the Annual West Indian Parade that goes down Eastern Parkway around Labor Day Weekend… WAY TOO many police for somebody to try something stupid…
I went last year and it was somewhat ok… But most of the people said it was better the previous years before and I’m kinda thinking about giving it just one more try…
The problems that I had with last years parade was that it started ridiculously late (big surprise) and it wasn’t fluid = huge gaps in between the floats (30 minutes to an hour)… It was funny how even though the police tried as hard as they could to keep people from spilling into the street and joing the marches & floats they STILL did…
I’d love to see those costumes again though…
(*Translation = I’d have no problem seeing those half naked women shakin’ their a$$es, excuse me – dancing again though)
_________________________________________________
Wow I haven’t been to that one in a couple of years but I used to NEVER ever miss it. A really good WI carnival to go to is Caribana in Canada. It is very organized neat and you can jump up behind the bands. New York has gotten very crowded and crazy the last few years I went but still fun. I really like the JA truck with the reggae artists performing live, the crazy a$$ Hatiain trucks and the live steel pan… too. I really love the unity of the ’spanish’ islands, french islands, and english speaking all celebrating and dressing up TOGETHER. Don’t even get me started on my trini bajan vincy VI guyanese st.lucia grenada (and there jumbie mas that scares me at j’ouvert). I’ve been traveling to different carnivals for years and there is always a shooting or someone getting run over by trucks. It is very sad when this happens.
The USA swimmer named Michael Phelps is one fine ass mofo! I think he may be the first white man I have a crush on.
The black guy named Cullen Jones on the swimming team is a cutey too.

That is maybe because I dunno YOU have no direct connection to Africa???? However I am sure when they ask your race you still check off AFRICAN American. At least jjj still has a connection. Why does that make you so angry? The only actual NATIVE Americans here are NATIVE AMERICANS. Every one else is Irish-American, Chinese-American, Italian-American and sometimes root for their hometowns or choose to go strictly American. If you are going to get mad at all of these people you are going to put yourself in the hospital for no damn reason other than you don’t think people with backgrounds from other countries should be proud of it.

You’d think with all that money and “privilege”, she’d have enough sense to hire a personal trainer, a good make-up artist, and a stylist who doesn’t make her look like a broke-down Miss Piggy.
For someone who’s so “privileged” her education didn’t give her the common sense to hire a PR rep who could monitor what she says and not make her sound like an ignorant, black person with money but no class. WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. I think people are aware that all black people don’t “speak in a hip hop manner”. Get your nose out of the hair, you plump twat.

response to the comments I just read
Why is it that some people make some ignorant ass comments??? It sound so pathetic and silly, I’m like come on… I think some people really don’t have a life and trying to start beef on bossip is there highlight of the day.
@Da Truff: You know it’s true though. She is in the closet about what she considers “Black”. She could never let her “cultured” Black or White friends know she’s that fat because she eats greens and hamhocks undercover, not parsnips and baked chicken. AND she eats it all with her fingers while sopping it up with some Jiffy cornbread.
@ DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!
Yes I wish the US all the best too… as a matter of fact I am honestly supporting them in every sport (except when they play against a caribbean country or Jamaica)
That tj person is obviously another miserable despicable bitch on Bossip… I am ignoring the trick… did she/he get robbed by a Jamaican or something? If so, I hope they trampled that ass.

@I’m Just Me
Naw, I’ma stick with this one for a minute – but those others ones are definitely funny though.
It’s funny how she makes that comment about blacks saying she sounds “white”…for one there is no such thing as sounding white…
i have heard poor blacks speak so called “white” it has to do where you are from…like if your from the westcoast your gonna sound different than someone who is from down south no matter if you are poor or not.
But I bet these white people see her as a big ‘ole black bitch anyway…lol
@6am
NOW YOU KNOW YOU ARE MY BOY, BUT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF INTEREST (in your response that is)I MUST SAY THE FOLLOWING. WHAT SHE IS INSINUATING IS TO SOUND “BLACK” IF YOU WILL, IS TO SOUND “HOOD” OR “UNEDUCATED”. AND IT IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE BLACK, AND WHOM YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE SOUND OF THEIR VOICE AS A “BLACK” VOICE, USE IMPROPER LANGUAGE OR SLANG WHEN SPEAKING. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE, ITS PITCH, TONE AND KEY, SOUNDING BLACK, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SPEAK WITH PROPER GRAMMAR. AND IT IS VERY INSULTING TO HEAR/READ HER USE THE WORDS “HIP HOP WAY” WHEN REFERRING TO A BLACK VOICE (sound), AS I CAN SPEAK FOR PLENTY OF US WHEN I SAY THAT YOU CAN STILL MAINTAIN PROPER GRAMMAR, AND STILL BE IDENTIFIED AS A BLACK AMERICAN WHEN SPEAKING. THATS NOT TO ISOLATE ANY BLACK PERSON WHO SOUNDS MORE WHITE WHEN SPEAKING, BECAUSE THERE IS A SUCH THING, BUT HEY, MARTIN LUTHER KING SPOKE PROPER EDUCATED ENGLISH, BARACK, OPRAH, MAYA ANGELOU, ALL INTELLIGENT SOUNDING BLACK PEOPLE. THEY DONT ATTACK YOU WITH SLANG, AND BROKEN ENGLISH. BUT WHEN YOU HEAR/HEARD THEM SPEAK, YOU KNEW IT WAS A BLACK PERSON TALKING. (love you 6 am…:-) had to play defense..lol)
What’s up Family!!
I’m late to the posting today. It’s alright to speak “proper” if there was such a thing. My problem is with her alienating herself from those who didn’t grow up like her.
Stay away from buffet table Lil Cosby, let your father do the talking. He earned that right.
6:am… hello there! whats good with you today and did you run smdh off the post or what?
Since she doesn’t have any connection with people who do not share her lifestyle, just wondering where she was at and what did she do for her sister who was the crackhead @ one time. I think it was. These people just sends me off when they start talking that “talking, acting or wanting to be like white people.”. Your sister was an ex crack head and your dad cheated on your mom, girl so no one is perfect and stop acting like u live such an outsanding and priviledge life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ jjj
we good…
@DA PRO
HEY YOU!! HOW ARE THINGS GOING ON YOUR END?
@ Mistao
Now we all know there’s a marked difference between speaking proper english and speaking to SOUND white!
————————————————————
You hit the nail on the head!! Good damn point!!
slides… i cant believe you didnt speak to me on here… i know you saw me on here.. dont have me get to speaking ebonics on you now. lol! or i will speak proper and say hello slides my dear wonderful friend and how might you be today sir! comr join me later for some tea and krumpets! i say speak how the hell you want just use proper language when others have to be on the other end like customer service, i did customer service once and spoke proper language and when i get home i use my slang… who cares i hear all kinds of people talking slang now days!!what the hell makes it a black and white issues?
Something a little off this topic – all you Bernie Mac fans:
BERNIE MAC’S FINAL MOMENTS: Sister-in-law says family was at bedside; funeral scheduled for Friday, friends release statements.
(August 11, 2008)
*A sister-in-law to late comedian Bernie Mac has opened up to People magazine about the entertainer’s final moments at the hospital with his wife, Rhonda, and their 30-year-old daughter, Je’Niece.
“He opened his eyes on his own and looked at Rhonda. She called his name, and he opened his eyes and nodded to her,” said Rhonda’s younger sister, Mary Ann Grossett. “She smiled at him and told him, ‘Don’t leave me … ‘I’m waiting for you to come back.’ He shrugged his shoulders, and she said that’s when she knew he was tired. He signaled to her that his body was tired.”
Mac, Grossett revealed, was hospitalized in Chicago on July 24, eight days before the date announced by his publicist. He was diagnosed with pneumonia and immediately placed on a ventilator. He died at 2 a.m. on Saturday.
The night before, “He struggled for his life. He couldn’t breathe,” said Grossett. The next day, doctors “were working on him. They tried to resuscitate him two times. One time he came back for about an hour. Then he went into cardiac arrest the second time.”
Grossett said the last communication between Mac and Rhonda took place on July 31, one week after he was admitted to the hospital. “He told his wife [non-verbally] that he could breathe on his own, and he wanted the ventilator out. He motioned that he wanted it out,” says Grossett.
Additionally, Grossett says Mac’s inflammatory lung disease contributed to his death. “He had sarcoidosis, but it was in remission,” she says. “But because he had it, his immune system was compromised. He had an infection … He was on a new medication that suppresses the immune system, and that’s where the pneumonia came from.”
She says that doctors kept Mac sedated, although he was conscious at times and he contracted a second strain of pneumonia while in the hospital.
Of her widowed sibling Rhonda, Grossett says, “She’s devastated. However, she’s at peace about his transition because of her faith in God. Her faith is what is sustaining her.”
A funeral for Mac is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 15, at an undisclosed location. The family requests that donations be made to the Bernie Mac Foundation for Sarcoidosis, 40 E. Ninth St., Suite 601, Chicago IL 60605.
Community activist Najee Ali says a candlelight vigil for Mac, as well as Isaac Hayes, will be held at 6 p.m. tonight in Los Angeles at 5th Street Dicks coffeehouse in Leimert Park (4305 Degnan Blvd.)
Some of Mac’s celebrity friends, co-stars and professional associates have issued statements expressing condolences and sharing memories of the comedian:
• Samuel L. Jackson, his co-star in the upcoming film “Soul Men,” says: “It goes without saying that Bernie was one of the preeminent comedians of our generation. He was also an attentive husband, a great father and loving grandfather. I feel blessed to have shared years of friendship with Bernie Mac, and I’m honored to have finally co-starred with him in what I consider to be his finest cinematic acting achievement. My sincere prayer is that his family will be comforted by the warmth of love from all of us who knew and respected this man.”
• Don Cheadle, who starred with Mac in 2001’s “Ocean’s Eleven” and its two sequels, says: “This is a very sad day for many of us who knew and loved Bernie. He brought so much joy to so many. He will be missed, but heaven just got funnier.”
• George Clooney, fellow co-star in “Ocean’s” franchise: “The world just got a little less funny. He will be missed dearly.”
• Brad Pitt, fellow “Ocean’s” colleague, says: “I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.”
• Chris Rock: “Bernie Mac was one of the best and funniest comedians to ever live, but that was the second best thing he did. Bernie was one of the greatest friends a person could have. Losing him is like losing 12 people because he absolutely filled up any room he was in. I’m gonna miss the Mac Man.”
• Cedric the Entertainer: “It’s hard to put into words just how I feel and what a painful loss this is. Bernie was a brother, a friend and one of the comic masters of our time. Sharing the marquee with him during the phenomenon of the Kings of Comedy tour bonded us like family, and created a unique moment in comic history marking some of the most meaningful, memorable and fun times of our lives. His comedic approach was his own brand and will definitely stand the test of time. The level of his talent always inspired me and other comedians to ‘bring their A-game.’ I promise you that you never wanted to be the guy who had to follow Bernie’s set! As a husband and father, he was THE MAN and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will truly be missed, but so well remembered.”
• Niecy Nash, who played Mac’s sister on ‘The Bernie Mac Show,’ recalls his knack for making fellow actors feel at home on the set. “When I showed up to work, he said something to me that had never been said to me on a set before. He said, ‘Baby girl, the script here is not the Bible. Do you, and I’ll follow. I got mine, you get yours.’ When he said that, I knew everything was going to be all right. I was happy to have the freedom to make up some funny with him. It was simply delicious. My working experiences with Bernie were so amazing, that from that point on, I wouldn’t have cared if he called me in the middle of the night to come and be in a scene where I didn’t have anything to do but sit in the background and eat cereal. I would’ve just done it because I loved him like that.”
• Jenifer Lewis: “Bernie’s style of comedy was bold, courageous and revolutionary—I never knew anyone who loved to be funny as much as Bernie. He will most definitely be very missed.”
• George Lopez: “He was one of those comics that was unique because of his approach, his look, his voice [and] the content of his material. Bernie fell into that category of people who were inherently different like when you saw them, you knew they were different and when they spoke, you knew they were different. As comics, we’re all brothers. and I’ll miss him a lot. He was a good friend of mine.”
• Luke Wilson, Mac’s costar in ‘Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle,’ told People: “He couldn’t have been a nicer guy. He just seemed like a real family man and just a nice guy on the set, just very kind of normal guy.”
• Carl Reiner, “Ocean’s Eleven” costar, says: “It’s a tremendous loss because of his age and the fact that he was such a vital, original human being. When I use the word ‘original’ I really mean it. He was like no other person I knew. He lived his life to the fullest, even when we were on the set of Ocean’s. He had his own little apartment and he cooked and invited people to lunch every day and he had food that was for everybody. He made very exotic things. His conversations were always different than any conversations I had with anyone else. They were very family-oriented; he talked about his wife and children with such love and it’s very hard to believe that he’s not with us anymore.”
• Kelly Preston and John Travolta: “We are heartbroken. He will be deeply missed. He was a wonderful, kind and gentle man.”
• Fox Broadcasting Company and 20th Century Fox Television, home of “The Bernie Mac Show,” stated: “Bernie Mac was a gifted talent whose comedy came from an authentic and highly personal place. He was a tremendous live performer and a wonderful actor. Fox was proud to be the home of The Bernie Mac Show, and all of us at Fox and 20th Century Fox Television extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, Rhonda, and daughter, JeNiece.”
• J.D. Hall, voice over actor who worked with Mac on an episode of Moesha, says: “He was a genuinely funny and nice guy. I say this because prior to working with him on the show, I had no knowledge of who he was and how well known of a comedian he was. But, unlike a lot of people at his level, he was very friendly, down to earth and accommodating. When our paths accidentally crossed about a week later at LAX airport, he greeted me as if I had been a life-long friend and I could feel the genuine warmth and sincerity of that greeting. May God have mercy on his soul.”
• Irene Mama Stokes: Bernie Mac will be remembered. I met him on the set of Bébé’s Kids, his words of encouragement helped me to continue to pursue my career in comedy. His comedy had an impact on our community and the world. He will truely be missed.”
• African American Film Critics Association’s Wilson Morales: “Bernie Mac had the ability to effortlessly make people laugh. He was an incredible talent with whom my colleagues and I in AAFCA always looked forward to covering. Bernie had a big heart and he will certainly be missed by the members of our organization.”
I GUESS SHE PICKED UP THERE SO CALLED VOICE, BUT THEY OBVOUISLY DIDN’T TEACH HER THERE EATING ORDER WAYS. FATT ASS MONIQUE LOOKING FOOL

@ 6am
YOU STILL IN HERE? I ASKED U A QUESTION IN THE ISAAC HAYES THREAD!!
Right now I don’t know what to think of this?……………! Why is it that black people that have money, feel that they are better than their own that don’t? Cuz you was raised in a privileged background, had the best education, no ever having to worry about a struggle in your life! She tries to make it like black people not her in situation are charity cases! To me it likes she is not even black!
If she really “sounded white”..she would sound ignorant as fuck, white people sound like fuckin hill billies.
sounding proper is not sounding white. Even white people dont sound the way they do when they are in an proffessional atmosphere.
what a self hatin fat biotch! I bet she wishes she was white
Is this the very same daughter that was a CRACK HO @ Spelman?!
@ SexyQ,
What Im saying is that speaking traditional hood talk is a perfect way to not get invited back for a second interview, most emplyers want you to speak the same way they speak especially if youre gonna be dealing with customers.
@ Braided,
I dont run anybody off, but SMDH challenged me to find those fake pictures, guess what, I found the first one and it’ll take me even less time to find the other. Maybe shes/he’s ashamed now.
@ It ain’t really nothing but noise.
I more hate the country of Jamaica. They are the most ignorant backward people, and like many third world countries in the western hemisphere all of their most talented people immigrate to the US. So having to hear “Jamaican-Americans” brag about a country and a people they literally abandoned peeves me off. If you like it so much stay there. And if you are there… do something.
ewww she’s fat.
6am! I love you all, but I gotta go make money now, bye!
It’s about to be a what???

*btw – last week when KZZ mentioned what she was doing over the weekend she said she was going to a Jamaican Festival, that’s why I called it that…
____________________________________________________
Oh the crowd is ENORMOUS. The biggest carnival in North America I believe is Caribana but the biggest in the USA is NY’s with Miami as a close second then Boston’s. I’ve been to all 3 and have had a BALL. But you must go to Trinidad for the real deal. Trust me.
No prob as far as the Jamaican Festival thing. I’ve just always wondered how that came to be. Honestly ALOT of my Jamaican friends don’t even listen to soca/calypso all that much nor masquerade. As big as Jamaica is (compared to other Caribbean islands) they don’t even have as much of a presence in the carnival’s mas and pan, but I am just glad that everyone gets involved now.
@6AM
I FEEL YOU, AND I AGREE(SMILE)
@TJ
I THINK IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO FEEL THE WAY THAT YOU CHOOSE AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT. HOWEVER, AN INDIVIDUAL OF JAMAICAN ORIGIN ALSO HAS THE RIGHT TO FEEL PROUD OF WHERE THEY COME FROM AND TO EXPRESS SO FREELY WITHOUT BEING CRITISIZED FOR DOING SO. AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT ATTEMPTING TO PUT DOWN ANOTHER COUNTRY OR PERSON OF OTHER NATIONALITY. ALOT OF COUNTRIES/DIFFERENT ORIGINS OF PEOPLE FEEL AS THOUGH THE U.S IS A CRAPPY COUNTRY, AND THAT WE ARE A TRIFLING BULK OF PEOPLE. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT WE ARE LAZY, WASTEFUL, DESTRUCTIVE, I COULD GO ON FOR DAYS ABOUT THE INSULTS THAT I HEAR CHINESE, JAPANESE, AFRICAN, AND MIDDLE EASTERN PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US. AND IN ALOT OF WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT US FOR, CAN OFTEN BE FOUND TRUE IN SOME OF OUR PEOPLE. YET WE ARE A FREE COUNTRY(or at least thats what they tell us) AND WE OFFER MORE OPPORTUNITY TO PEOPLE THAN ALOT OF COUNTRIES DO. ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO ORIGINATE FROM THE UNITED STATES ARE PROUD OF THEIR COUNTRY, AND OPENLY EXPRESS THEIR PRIDE. SHOULD THEY BE RIDICULED BECAUSE OF THEIR PRIDE? DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE U.S HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE A VERY F*CKED UP COUNTRY FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT REASONS? I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT JAMAICA PERSAY, BUT I THINK THAT “JJJ” HAS THE RIGHT TO SHOW PRIDE IN HER COUNTRY. JUST MY THOUGHTS
slides… oh ok . somtimes i dont know when to turn it off, but i no when to speak proper and when to slang it… but that speaking white is some crap most of them speak more damn ebonics than i do but they call it speaking ghetto… what the hell is that? I dont like labals thats my thing because you can find some slang talking folks in all races!! but i understand holla (oh wait) holler .. no please speak to me when you get a monent, if you will !! lol!!
@TJ
ALSO, ONE MORE THOUGHT, FOR ‘JJJ’ NOT TO EXPRESS PRIDE AND JOY ABOUT WHERE SHE COMES FROM, WOULD BE THE SAME AS A BLACK PERSON ASHAMED OF BEING BLACK. OR A WHITE PERSON ASHAMED OF BEING WHITE. EVERYONE MAY NOT AGREE WITH THE IDEA OF JAMAICA BEING A BEAUTIFUL PLACE, OR BEING THE MOST FRUITFULL LAND, OR WHATEVER HAVE YOU. BUT ‘JJJ’ SEE’S BEAUTY AND WORTH IN HER COUNTRY, AND SHE HAS DISPLAYED IT. IT SHOWS THAT SHE HAS A PROFOUND LOVE FOR WHAT HAS MOLDED HER, AND THATS BEAUTIFUL. EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE LIKES HER COUNTRY.
Sxyq… i agree with being proud of your Country, but like you stated its is a problem when some come here and say we are lazy , we eat too much fast food, they dont like the way we dress, act, and etc, its one thing to uphold your country but dont put others down b/c they will look at you and say why are you here and there are lazy folks in a lot of other countries! I had a Jamaican friend who use to get nad and say you people have too much things handed to you like unemployment and food stamps etc, well i mean can we help that??
Thanks for the Bernie Mac update, Rozza. His service is Saturday, right?
Also, did you hear about this new article coming out tomorrow in The Atlantic about some leaked memos from the Clinton campaign?
“The Atlantic Monthly is about to publish a story based on a pile of leaked documents from Hillary Clinton’s campaign. According to the author, the internal memos and e-mails help explain what caused her downfall as a presidential candidate.”
No, you’re thinking of Erin!
True words sxyQ… lol
Speak anyway you want You’re still Black/ African American or whatever the new flavor is today. Maybe you ask your Dad, what he thinks about contributing to the EBONIC side of things w/his Fat Albert Show & clown suit/pimp glasses in his earlier movies?? Bet you don’t mind that he made his millions from sounding like an uneducated/project kid every Sat morning did ya???? FYI there are hundreds of COMMUNITY schools that teach children to speak correctly (not white)DUH!! no such thing, and they are all a product of Black communities & today’s hip-hop community, but it doesn’t rule their being / it just is what it is….TRUE ARROGANCE W/OUT A CAUSE! BLESSED W/OUT HUMILITY, guess your school forgot to teach that..
@BRAIDED
GIRL AND SEE THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. LIKE I KNOW THE U.S ISNT THE MOST WISE WHEN IT COMES TO SOME OF THE GOVERMENT DECISIONS, OR HOW WE LIVE (SPOILED BY WESTERN CIVILIZATION) YET I WOULDNT CHOOSE TO LIVE IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY, AND IM SURE THAT ANYONE BORN AND RAISED IN THE U.S WOULD AGREE!! THERE ARE THINGS ABOUT AMERICA THAT ARE JACKED UP, AND NO ONE CAN DENY IT. BUT EVERY COUNTRY HAS ITS DOWN SIDE. NO COUNTRY IS PERFECT. I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE PROUD OF WHERE YOU COME FROM AND TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK IT. I MEAN LOOK AT PEOPLE LIKE JAY-Z, BIGGIE SMALLS, DR.DRE, THE GHETTO BOYS, TUPAC, NAS, I COULD GO ON AND ON. THESE PEOPLE ORIGINATED FROM SOME PLACES RIGHT HERE IN THE U.S THAT EITHER #1 WE WOULDNT HAVE KNOWN ANYTHING ABOUT IF THEY HADNT OF SHOUTED IT OUT, OR #2 SOME OF US WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO SCARED TO TREAD THRU FOR FEAR OF GETTING CAPPED OFF OR JACKED. THESE ARTISTS KNEW THAT THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS WERE DANGEROUS. KNEW WHAT TYPE OF THINGS WERE GOING ON IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. KNEW THE TYPE OF NEGATIVE LIGHT THAT COULD OFTEN BE SHED ON THEIR HOOD. BUT THE STILL EXERTED PRIDE IN WHERE THEY CAME FROM. DESPITE THE DOWNSIDE. NO ONE ELSE MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT, BUT YOU HAD TO RESPECT IT!!
@JJJ
NO PROBLEM MY FRIEND. I ALWAYS COME REASONING WITH PEACE AND THOUGHT, AND HOPE THAT OTHERS UNDERSTAND.

LOL and that is the right mature way to do it ma… me, well I just ignore because if I didn’t I think you would have covered your ears, I mean eyes.
Wow! What a snob! Is her boutique for the PLUS SIZE shopper? She is hoisting her nose at regular folks. I guess her privilege family is above the things we go through. What ever happened to her older sister, the one who has a connection with regular folks? What was the woman’s job that her brother was with when he met his demise? I simply abhor snobbish behavior. Having money does not equate to having class. Sweetie, you are too young to be so naive and obese!
@JJJ
I FEEL YOU (LOL). WHEN I FIRST STARTED POSTING ON BOSSIP, I COULDNT UNDERSTAND HOW ADULTS COULD ARGUE SO FEROCIOUSLY WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND NEVER MET, ARENT PHYSICALLY IN FRONT OF ONE ANOTHER. JUST-A TYPING AWAY, CURSING EACH OTHER OUT.(LOL) DONT GET ME WRONG, SOMETIMES WHEN I COME ON HERE AND I SEE 2 CHARACTERS GOING AT EACH OTHERS THROATS, I SIT AT MY DESK AND I ROLL!!LMFAO) BUT I DONT GET INTO DIRECT CYBER ATTACKS YOU KNOW. I’LL HOLD A FRIENDLY DISPUTE OR DEBATE ALL DAY, BUT WHEN THE IGNORANCE STARTS TO SHOW ON THE OTHER PARTY, I STOP IT THEIR. I COME TO BOSSIP FOR FUN, I LET THE PLACE THAT PAYS ME STRESS ME OUT!!(LOL)
What up beautifully human???? Smiles

I will save you a plate shawty!
@ It ain’t really
She can be proud if she like. However don’t come on here talking trash about how your country is this or that when we know your country is a HAM. She happens to be a true Jamaican which I don’t have a problem with I was talking about people who immigrate and act like they are better than regular Americans because of their country of origin. If your country of origin is soooo much better then why don’t you take your ass back there?
@PLIES
OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH, DID YOU SAY BBQ RIBS?? WHERE ARE MINE? AM I INVITED? OR AM I GOING TO HAVE TO INVITE MYSELF? LOL..
you must go to Trinidad for the real deal. Trust me.

This will sound kinda ignorant, but I’ll be honest with you, ever since I saw that Jay-Z “Big Pimpin’” Video – I’ve wanted to go to the Carnival Festival in Trinidad…
It looked like it was so much fun…
I think this coming February will be my first time going… And I’m seriously trying to make this happen… (*You just reminded me to book a flight, cause I know I need to do it soon) I’m trying to go with one of my friends from Grad School…
I’ve had invites from female friends in the past, but I’ma guy and despite what they said, I knew they were gonna limit the amount of partying I would be able to do…
*I’ve seen the pictures on the websites… I know what’s up and I’ve seen how they get down, down there…
And on the serious note – I would also take the time to learn about the culture and other important things so as to take away some knowledge and not just leave with the party experience…
