You are completely wrong. He's not the first. He isn't even the millionth to pass judgment, and that was his entire point. People can try to excuse everything as "culture" but if you don't think literally everyone who doesn't say "where you is?" is passing judgment on those who do, you're being a little naive. And that was his point. Nobody will ever hire a doctor who says "who you is" and he wants to see black kids grow up to be doctors. And this apparently was a great wrong on his part.

As for the rape stuff, probably true, but that doesn't mean anything he said is suddenly invalid or wrong. People fought hard for Brown v Board Of Ed. , and what, they fought so future generations could not go to school and say "why you ain't"? If that's the case those people fought for nothing, and that is the tragedy.

There's nothing new about that. The people who are most comfortable telling others how to live have no problem committing all manner of dirt in their lives. Pedophile priests, anti-gay activists who turn out to be wide-stance foot tappers, cops who beat their wives and kids, male politicians who scream most loudly about abortion being a sin who turn around and have their mistresses get as many abortions as they need, etc.... Hell even Martin Luther Kind screwed around. It's kind of like the adage that crazy people are the first to want to become therapists. This kind of hypocrisy is baked into the Puritan mindset. People who hold themselves up as an ideal are almost always covering for something in their own lives.

And yes, I too hope that Lisa Bonet finds a way to tell what she knows because clearly there was something off there. She must be feeling pretty vindicated right now.
