Happy Father's Day 2 America's Dad @BillCosby - today we remember that from 1963 on, you dismantled racism like nobody before or since.

Happy Father's Day to America's Dad, Bill Cosby - Today We Choose To Remember Your Civil Rights Accomplishments

Let's not forget that we'd all be forced to do Fried Chicken and Curry commercials for a living if it weren't for Bill Cosby. Witch Hunters may chase you with pitchforks BUT is OK TODAY to take a step back and celebrate America's Dad.

Excerpt from NBC NEWS:

Cosby got his first big break in 1963 when he appeared on "The Tonight Show." Then came a recording contract with Warner Bros. and a string of successful comedy albums filled with hilarious anecdotes from his childhood.

As Cosby’s star rose, he found himself targeted by critics who questioned why he was avoiding the touchy issue of race at a time when the rest of the country was being engulfed by the Civil Rights struggle. This was his answer:

"A white person listens to my act and he laughs and he thinks, ‘Yeah, that’s the way I see it too,'" Cosby said. "Okay. He’s white. I’m Negro. And we both see things the same way. That must mean we’re alike. Right? So I figure this way I’m doing as much for good race relations as the next guy."

But race became unavoidable when Cosby was cast with a white actor named Robert Culp on the NBC series “I Spy,” a kind of espionage buddy show. Four TV stations in Alabama, Florida and Georgia refused to air the show. But “I Spy” was a ratings hit and Cosby went on to win three consecutive Emmy Awards.

Let the message be known to bigots and racists that they don’t count,” Cosby said after winning his third Emmy.

Thompson said in many ways Cosby was to television what Jackie Robinson was to baseball.

“Most people don’t realize now how important Cosby’s role on ‘I Spy’ was,” the pop culture expert said. “He wasn’t singing or dancing or doing an 'Amos ‘n’ Andy' routine. He was an attractive, Princeton–educated character and he was the star, something most Americans had never seen before.”

More successful TV turns followed, including a Saturday morning cartoon show based on Cosby’s childhood called “Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids” and regular appearances on public television that endeared him to a whole new generation of TV watchers. He also made a fortune as a popular pitchman for Jell-O pudding, Coca-Cola, and other products.

But his greatest small screen success came in September 1984 with the debut of "The Cosby Show," a family sitcom set in brownstone Brooklyn where Cosby was paired with Phylicia Rashad, who was modeled on Cosby’s real life wife, Camille.

“The Cosby Show” centered on the kind of African-American family that many viewers had never encountered on TV before — thriving, educated, middle-class professionals, not offensive stereotypes or one-dimensional caricatures.

Cosby also gave himself something he didn’t have as a child — a loving jazz musician dad named Russell who stuck around.

It was a huge success and continued to delight viewers long after it went off the air in 1992.

Cosby became a living, breathing rebuff to the stereotype of fatherless African-American families.

In 2002, President George W. Bush presented Cosby with a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Meanwhile, Cosby became an elder statesman in the black community and at times a scold who, in one famous speech, didn't shrink from telling young men to pull up their pants.

Cosby has steadfastly denied molesting anybody. But the damage to his image has already been done and it’s likely to be permanent, Bob Thompson, pop culture expert at Syracuse University, told NBC News.

"Irrespective of the verdict, I think the first thing Bill Cosby will be remembered for in history is this story," said Thompson. “I have students in my classes who have never seen an episode of ‘The Cosby Show’ and who know Cosby from this. He is never going to live this down."

Well, not in My House. And unless you're a white supremacist - it probably isn't in yours either.

Turmeric Capsules? Yay or Nay? http://dlvr.it/PLrfXc

Turmeric Capsules? Yay or Nay?

Personally, I am a big fan of Turmeric (Haldi we call it in my family). I mix it with honey on days I have to sing a lot. I take it instead of NSAIDs if I'm sore. And it is great in a post workout protein shake. There are some risks/side effects - one of which is that bright yellow staining. Capsules help prevent the mess. Some capsules even mix black pepper in with the turmeric, which is said to increase bioavailability.

That being said, let's watch!
