Bill Cosby On Prejudice (1971)

Bill Cosby On Prejudice by KCET-TV
Presents comedian Bill Cosby appearing in white make-up and green eye shadow in a special that discusses bigotry. Shows Cosby assuming the role of a super-bigot, and employing all the stereotype prejudices in his monologue.

Saw this in 4th grade in 1974. It really made an impression even then! I think a brilliant and thought provoking method of illustrating the absurdity of bigotry in all forms. I hope we can get back to intellectual honest discussions and embrace our most commonly shared values. Only one race, after all. Human.

Where's "Bill Cosby on Sexual Harassment & Domestic Abuse?" Is that one still forthcoming?

[@20alphabet]

What a great guy! He loves pudding!

[@steveray6376]

I remember watching this video in social studies class in Jr. High and discussing it afterward. I can't imagine that happening in our hyper-triggered society today.

[@queenlynbee2713]

Me too! Lol

[@mikebasil4832]

I first saw this in social studies too when I was very young in school. It’s difficult to re-watch now because of all that’s happened with Bill Cosby. But it’s still one of the most relevant videos on prejudice after many decades.

[@calvinexum8688]

Same here and we cracked up so bad they had to give us 15 minutes to gather ourselves after it was over before we discussed it.

[@quranmujahid-jones8426]

Same here back in '88

[@JohnyBobbles]

“I can’t imagine that happening in our hyper-triggered society today”… in scholastic institutions, these kinds of conversations have actually become more common in recent years.

[@SquishyZoran]

I can’t believe they let some of the words he said be on tv even then.

[@BeckBeckGo]

Maybe he drugged the producers

[@karlhelm875]

one of those words was used on the jeffersons and sanford and son.

IT'S A ONE MAN PLAY, Y'ALL. SMH

[@user-wc3vy2gp1l]

​@@BeckBeckGoit's a one man play, ma'am.

[@babymama6838]

Who is watching now that he was sentenced?

[@queenlynbee2713]

Who's watching now that they let him out!? He did warn all women what he was up to in this. Lol
I'll be back in a few yrs to see how this comment section has aged.

[@mickster655]

He didn't go to jail. It's all a TV show. Epstein, Weinstein, are fake trials.

[@sonijam]

Interesting.

[@dougburr4192]

I didn't know Bill Cosby was so based!

[@tylerrobinson5490]

Really? Are you for real?

[@user-wc3vy2gp1l]

He was doing a one man play about Bigotry.

[@daveyork0]

Reminder of the towering nonrape legacy of the man

[@KingQwerty]

I agree

[@stanleystriker7065]

Smoking on TV....
I get the feeling this gentleman might not be a very good role-model for other people.....

[@Bout_TreeFiddy]

Seems this character is anti role model, down to the cig

[@gabrielleangelica1977]

Try treating women well first...

[@whyzzzard]

This is how he gets ready to roofie dem wemen

marsh rabbits pretty much. He absolutely exploited his public image to get away with that shit for literally decades.

[@louisianabrokenenglish]

Stfu and learn something

[@tanyaprice7168]

Oh ye, before '90!😅 It's called parody and do some research.

[@CliffSherlock]

Wonder if anyone knows who the other bigot is?
One hint, and only one “those were the days”

[@movieedge7370]

Do I have to be on drugs to watch this lol 😂

[@somenothing7914]

should

[@Hannah004]

My professor made the whole class watch this
SAVE US!!!

[@elallen4399]

I didn't even know who TF that was

[@coachrobinson9958]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@presidentskroob]

Yet no one ever complains about “white face”

[@dom-o-rue4194]

Mmmmh I wonder Why .

[@Progamerjay100]

It's clown make-up 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@JohnyBobbles]

Because there’s no awful history behind it.
