THERE IS A LOT OF CONTROVERSY GOING ON RIGHT NOW REGARDING EVIN COSBY COMMENTS ABOUT HER EXPERIENCES GROWING UP AS BILL COSBY’S DAUGHTER AND BEING APART 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.” (Source: NYDailyNews)

WELL SHE IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH! I RESPECT PEOPLE THAT STAY TRUE TO WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT IS COMFORTABLE FOR THEM. NOW IF SHE CAME OUT TALKING SLANG AS IF SHE WAS FROM THE HOOD, PEOPLE WOULD CALL HER OUT! YES HER COMMENTS COULD HAVE BEEN SAID IN A DIFFERENT WAY BUT I DON’T THINK SHE MEANT ANY HARM. YOUR THOUGHTS?
