Comedian Bill Cosby ignited a firestorm last year when he turned a speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of 'Brown v. Board of Education' into a sharply critical lamentation of the parenting skills and values of some in the African American community. Now, humanities professor and scholar Michael Eric Dyson rebuts Bill Cosby and examines the stereotypes he says undermine many of the racist and elitist arguments on the subject.
