Bill Cosby says only black journalists are neutral.

The embattled 77-year-old comedian declined to discuss the multiple sex abuse allegations against him when reached at his Massachusetts home by the New York Post. He did, however, say his wife is standing behind him and that he doesn’t expect much from white reporters.

“Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind,” Cosby said.

Cosby, who is represented by attorneys Martin Singer and John B. Schmitt, said he’s been advised not to talk to reporters about the ongoing allegations. More than two dozen women — including former supermodels Beverly Johnson and Janice Dickinson — have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct, going back to the late ’60s.

Johnson and others have said Cosby drugged them. Some said he raped them afterward, though Johnson says she was able to get up and leave before anything happened.

Cosby reportedly sounded upbeat on the phone, even when asked how his wife was holding up. but said he couldn’t address the specific allegations.

“Love and the strength of womanhood,” he said. “Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And, you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love.”

Cosby then reportedly ended the conversation. “They don’t want me talking to the media,” he said.
