If a White person said it, yeah I would think it was racist. If it was reversed, I would feel the same way. Meaning, if Cosby were White and he was talking about White people then I wouldn't call him racist. If he was Black and saying those things, then I would consider him racist. To me, a person would have to completely "sell out" in order to become racist of their own race. |
I hear what you're saying, but I'm asking is the comment, the actual words on their own. I mean if you didn't know that Cosby was black or white, and you read those comments, would they be racist?
What you're saying is it's not the actual content, but it's the motive behind the content?
