Not defending the man (didn’t follow his case that closely so don’t know) but he was very outspoken on the problems in the black community. He didn’t blame their problems on a systemic boogeyman, he had a get an education, stay out of trouble, and stay married approach to trying to fix problems in the black community. If it wasn’t for the rapist thing, I think most of what he would give lectures on would resonate with the anti-woke. I’d put him in the same category as Charles Barkley, but more academic.
Knowing what we know now, I wouldn’t be surprised if the left targeted him for takeout. Most of what he said didn’t fit with the leftist narrative of systemic racism.

This.
Exactly.
He was the Jell-o man, no one said a thing against Dr. Huxtable.
That is until like you said, he said blacks need to get a job and quit playing the victim/race card.
He was actually warned to stop but didn't. All of a sudden scandal!!!!
