If you’ve been paying attention to the Bill Cosby allegations, he was formally charged last week for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his Philadelphia home in 2004. The 78-year-old comedian appeared in a Pennsylvania court on Wednesday to hear the accusations and was later released on $1 million bail. Fellow African American comedian, Eddie Griffin had plenty to say on the matter.
Claiming that there’s a larger conspiracy at play to destroy the reputations and careers of black male entertainers (a very specific category), the Undercover Brother and Malcolm & Eddie star said that “They want us all to have an asterisk by our name.” While most of what he said was nothing more than unfiltered ranting, he did bring up a good point. A lot of the accusations against Bill Cosby are from things that happened in ’70s. There’s also the fact that all of the women accusing Cosby said similar things. This doesn’t mean that the man is innocent. However, a lot of the details don’t add up.

An historical perspective: “The ‘Great Emancipator’ and the Issue of Race”
Abraham Lincoln’s Program of Black Resettlement
By Robert Morgan
Many Americans think of Abraham Lincoln, above all, as the president who freed the slaves. Immortalized as the “Great Emancipator,” he is widely regarded as a champion of black freedom who supported social equality of the races, and who fought the American Civil War (1861-1865) to free the slaves.
While it is true that Lincoln regarded slavery as an evil and harmful institution, it is also true, as this paper will show, that he shared the conviction of most Americans of his time, and of many prominent statesmen before and after him, that blacks could not be assimilated into white society. He rejected the notion of social equality of the races, and held to the view that blacks should be resettled abroad. As President, he supported projects to remove blacks from the United States.
