"I'm surprised that (Cosby's comments) were made into the media phenomenon that it was. I don't necessarily agree with everything that Dr. Cosby said, but I don't think there's a person in America who can understand what it's like to be Bill Cosby," Chappelle says, adding with a laugh that "no one is as uncomfortable as a black man with money."
"I don't have a murdered child. I didn't go through all the things Bill Cosby went through, and I just think he's being judged unfairly. I'm not saying I agree with what he says. But I think Bill Cosby can say whatever he wants.
"And the crazier he talks, the more I like him. I've been wanting to see a crazy Bill Cosby all my life."

Well I guess I am in the minority because I happen to agree with much of what I read of Dr. Cosby's comments - as reflected in my blog entry a week or so ago.
