An important message that cannot be conveyed by a non-black person in today's society.
Sure it could, it's just that not many people try. I do think that if a white person had been standing there, saying something similar to what Bill Cosby was getting across, it would've been met with more hostility. But if the speaker was genuine, seemed to know his/her stuff, and was being supportively critical rather than condescending, a lot more people than you might think would have agreed and taken the point to heart.
