He also noted the fact that sitcom tore down negative stereotypes and even encouraged people of color to go to college.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we had images that perpetuate the negative stereotype of people of color, we\u2019ve always had \u2018The Cosby Show\u2019 to hold up against that, and the fact that we no longer have that kind of leaves us not in a great place in terms of having the wide scope of the images of people of color\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He then went on to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/keshia-knight-pulliam-raven-symone-the-view-black-name_561d77e9e4b050c6c4a34904\">reference<\/a> former cast mate Keshia Knight Pulliam who also spoke publicly about the scandal recently while promoting her latest project. Pulliam, who played Warner\u2019s youngest sister, Rudy, seemed to be confident with her belief that the legacy of the show will remain intact despite the strong forces that threaten to bury it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeshia Knight Pulliam said a really interesting thing in that her perspective is the legacy cannot be taken away because of all the good that the show has done cannot be taken away. \u201cThe generation of people of color, who have chosen to go to college because they watched that show and because they watched \u2018A Different World\u2019, you can\u2019t take that away. And I think that was a really good point\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by reinforcing how privileged the cast still feels to have been associated with such a groundbreaking vehicle, \u201cThat\u2019s a show we\u2019re all very proud to have been on\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Towards the of the segment, Warner was shown the new and very <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theroot.com\/articles\/culture\/2015\/10\/about_that_ebony_cosby_cover_that_everyone_s_talking_about.html\">controversial<\/a> \u201cFamily Issues\u201d cover of Ebony Magazine that depicts the cast of the show against the backdrop of what appear to be smashed glass.
