Bill Cosby Responds to Actor Terrence Howard's 'Blacklist' Accusation

*Responding to an article first published by WENN and reprinted here at EURweb; Bill Cosby called our own Lee Bailey to set the record straight regarding allegations that he once tried to blackball/blacklist actor Terrence Howard. "I don't like something being out there that I know for sure isn't true," said Cosby, explaining his reason for contacting us yesterday afternoon.

The key phrase there is "out of spite." He never admitted he didn't do it period. One can rationalize "spite." He could have just mentioned anything negative to the agency regarding Howard and they got the message. That's how white supremacy works and Cosby is definitely a white man in black face.

Cosby is a negro and as negros go, they have tremendous arrogance, especially if they have a little money. Now that he's older and life has shown him some things that this culture will also face, he's trying to make amends. However he's limited because he doesn't know how to be a real human being, he never learned.

I believe Howard. Cosby is that kind of person, I'm sure.

and by your logic a Black nineteen year older needs to Kowtow to an establish Black adult?

Didn't Cosby indicate in his Black "tirade",(crusade) that Adults need to teach the youth? Doesn't that include "how to be nice?"

I believe Howard as well. For some reason I think Cosby is ruthless if you should cross him in a manner in which he doesn't approve.

All I can do off is the words and you'd have to ask yourself why didn't the agency accept anymore of Howard’s calls after he auditioned for the Cosby Show? Was he acting skills that bad or maybe Bill Cosby called them and told them something ill about Howard? I believe the later.

Now, we are talking about Bill Cosby here, an esteemed and celebrated comedian/actor/activist/philan thropist and Black basher who is adored and loved by many but he felt compelled to call a media outlet to make comment. Ummmm, makes me kind of wonder???????

Are you familiar with Terrance Howard? Terrance Howard is an accomplished actor/musician and doesn't need Cosby's help in furthering his career. I think Terrance Howard was referencing the past and what he believes Cosby did to him early in his career.

Get the hell over it Terrance. You're still bitching about a little 1 minute guest appearance on the Cosby Show years ago. Your part got cut, it happens all the time. Thats the way shows work, they get edited. Then like a little pussy, when Cosby calls you and confronts you on it, you deny saying it. Bill Cosby has accomplished more that you can ever hope to, so quit hating and worry about your own career.

Misinformation creates division. All it takes is one rumor towards a successful black male and most folks will believe it and repeat it. Damn shame Cosby is being crucified, "out of spite," by self-appointed keepers of all things black.

You have tremendous arrogance. I'm sure!

Of course any young actor/actress in the early stages of their careers needs the help of others. It is obvious he didn't get Cosby's and more important Cosby may have put bad things out about him. I am not going to use the word "blacklist or blackballed". I am trying of words that have black in them meaning something negative or bad.

You are saying I am not objective because I don't agree with you and now I am saying you are not objective so where does that leave us? Exactly.

Maybe it's your personality to kiss ass and belittle yourself and

Mr. Cosby along with other older black leaders are feeling the pinch right now because of their stances about their race!

This man has never known all of the real facts about being poor, or having to make ends meet. He prides himself in his accomplishments which is fine but I have always felt that entertainers especially black ones should help a brother or sister up regardless how you feel about me cause when you help me up you are still gonna be the winner. But when you sit and make judgements keep in mind because most entertainers are shucksters, and fakes and also have kissed a lot of azz to get to where they are but some are making it work for them. In saying that help a brother or sister up cause you don't know who may have to pick up the messes you have made to get where you are.

Terrance is a whiny, ungrateful POS. Let's hope his name is back on the black list and I hope Cosby was the one who put it there.

Hollywood actors.....what a joke.

What? Bill Cosby was born to a poor black family in the Philadelphia projects. I think he knows plenty of what its like to be poor and make ends meet. With hard work, dedication, and not making excuses, he rose up from that and became one of the most successful comedians ever. He doesnt owe anyone anything. He earned all that he has, and he did it in the pre-civil rights era, when blacks didnt have all the opportunities in acting they do now. Just because he tells blacks to quit making excuses, and get up, get an education, and do something constructive with their lives, I guess he doesnt get his "street cred." Terrance Howard can only hope to be 1/10 th of the actor or the man Bill Cosby is.
