Sex offender Bill Cosby shared a bizarre Fathers Day message on Twitter and Instagram from prison on Sunday, causing a lot of head-scratching on social media.

Hey, Hey, Hey...Its Americas Dad...I know its late, but to all of the Dads... Its an honor to be called a Father, so lets make today a renewed oath to fulfilling our purpose strengthening our families and communities, reads the post alongside an old clip of Cosby talking about black men and slavery.

The clip was taken from a CBS Black History Month special starring Cosby and features him saying: America invented the cruelest slavery in the history of the world because it broke up black families. After slavery was over, America kept breaking up the black mans family and thats some awful history to teach.
