It's something that black men still go through to this day, which is women clutching their purses, hitting the lock button on store, or just basic attitudes.

Through my research, I obviously learned a lot, much of which made me sad, upset, disappointed and even angry, regarding what Jesse had to go through.

'America's Dad' is what we called Bill Cosby. And we called him that because, well, what a revolutionary way to put it.
