Cosby's Concept of cool as detailed from his book Come on People

In class we looked at Bill Cosby's 'Concept of Cool' and how it developed from a
defense mechanism for Black men attempting to shield themselves against racism and discrimination
but soon morphed into a desensitized detachment from needed and necessary emotions like
caring, love and paternal compassion. It was channelled into a rage that permeates the Black
male community and retards the emotional growth of our young men.

Is Cosby right?
