*** Quoting Cindy Haglund from a message to George Pope ***

CH> Afro-Americans are said to DETEST Cosby saying he 'acts white'.

I think, Bill Cosby did more good to show that people are just 'people'
than ¨the mass majority of us can ever hope to do.  He showed a sitcom with
a ¨well-to-do Black family that lives the same as any other family with the
same ¨money, but gave a little credence to an earlier less monied situation
even in ¨the sitcom.

Had a co-worker when I was in San Diego, who is related to Bill.  Not a
joke, ¨really was related to him.  Uncle possibly, 1 cousin possibly, not
further than ¨that.  Even looked a bit like him.  I lost contact with her
when I left for ¨Norfolk but she had cancer and was a single parent.  She
was working out which ¨relative would care for her son if things didnt go
well.  I know Bill was one ¨who might have been adopting her son if things
didnt go well.  Sadly, I never ¨learned more.
