That's why its heartbreaking what Bill Cosby recently told 500 of them, the graduating class of Spelman College, a historically black women's college in Atlanta.

There is nothing new about women picking up the slack for men. We take it for granted that they will do this, that they will raise the children, tend the house and anchor the community, when the men are jailed or killed.
