Pound Cake speech
The Pound Cake speech was given by Bill Cosby in May 2004 during an NAACP awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the ''Brown v. Board of Education'' Supreme Court decision.
==Overview==
In the speech, which was subsequently widely disseminated and analysed, Cosby was highly critical of members of subsets of the black community in the United States. He criticized the use of African American Vernacular English, the prevalence of single-parent families, the emphasis on frivolous and conspicuous consumption at the expense of necessities, lack of responsibility, and other behaviors.
In 2015, eleven years later, in circumstances described as "ironic", the speech was cited by Judge Eduardo C. Robreno as an example of Cosby's role as "public moralist", when he unsealed court records to reveal Cosby's admissions of infidelity and use of drugs (Quaaludes) to give to women prior to having sex with them.〔 Robreno referenced this Wikipedia page in his decision and wrote that, by volunteering to the public "his views on, among other things, childrearing, family life, education, and crime",〔 Cosby had "narrowed the zone of privacy that he is entitled to claim".〔 The motion was brought by the Associated Press and the admissions gave rise to further allegations that Cosby had committed numerous sexual assaults.〔〔〔
