  • "Dirty Laundry"

    Bill Cosby sparked controversy recently when he told black parents "your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it's cursing and calling each other [the N-word] as they're walking up and down the street. They think they're hip. They can't read. They can't write. They're laughing and giggling, and they're going nowhere." Also, Martha— martyr or martinet?
