Bill Cosby is a black man that was addressing a predominately black
audience about a specific black problem.  That audience was also made up
of prominent blacks that can and do influence their communities.  The only
people that had a problem with what Cosby said are the ones that benefit
from keeping a majority of blacks in poverty.

Nagin is the mayor of a large US city who was speaking to a much larger
audience with a much broader mix of race, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
What he said and the way he said it did not fit the occasion.  Again, klan
can not accept any truthful comments about black behavior unless you
include twice as many negative comments about white behavior.
