All right, welcome to the Carl Jackson show, your daily dose of objective truth and a world of confusion and lies.

All right, guys, I want to play three videos for you.

I am contending, and I know some of you are going to be offended to hear this, but hear me out that black Americans need a modern day Cosby show.
