2004 SPECIAL REPORT: "BILL COSBY GETS TOUGH ON BLACK PEOPLE"

The Pound Cake speech was given by Bill Cosby on May 17, 2004 during an NAACP Legal Defense Fund awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision. In the speech, which was subsequently widely disseminated and analysed, Cosby was highly critical of the black community in the United States. He criticised the use of African-American Vernacular English, the prevalence of single-parent families, perceived emphasis on frivolous and conspicuous consumption at the expense of necessities, lack of responsibility, and other behaviours.
