The same way everyone else does. Stay in school, then go bust your a&^ a job where they kick s*&^ in your face daily. Stay with it anyway, pay your bills and instead of putting your hand out and whining like it's only happening to you, go back to school to get a better paying job where they still kick s$#^ in your face everyday. Get a part time job in addition to your straight boogie. You will be living in a little better house, driving a little better car, you will be tired all the time and never get to be at home but that's life!

We can't do anything about the race we are born into, but we can work hard at getting an education and being a positive role model for or friends and family and society.

My daughter, who's in High School, saw this behavior all the time in her TX middle school. The black kids that got good grades, spoke well and did the right thing were attacked by other blacks for acting "white". The peer pressure was enormous on those kids.

Re: Talks on tape.
There was a video of Jesse Lee Peterson listed in the catalog of American Opinion Book Service (see AOBS on the internet).
Sorry, I forget the title just now.

Why would I do that? The thread asked for suggestions, advice or opinions on this issue. I did that. Did I at any point make any social commentary about how many of these peopple are on welfare or have multiple fathers? No I did not. At no point did I say ALL are guilty of this or the vast majority or a large percentage. It's general advice that, with a few modifications, can be applied to any person regardless of race. It can be applied to one person or millions.

How many of us were born into money and a guaranteed life of leisure? I sure wasn't. Not me, not my husband, not my kids :-).

Thanks. I'll have a look, and also at the Heritage Foundation's site, after this event. It's possible they'll have recordings.

Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, etc., are living proof that it works.

There are many [successful black people] among you who have. Have the good sense to ask, listen and give consideration to what they have to say.
Excellent point. For example, how many people know who John Rogers is? He is an African American and was the most successful (success=high return) mutual fund manager of 2004. And you know he did it on his own, because Mr. Market is not a guilt-ridden white liberal and does not care what color you are.
Successful blacks do not get the press they should. I think it's because folks on the left like Jesse Jackson ignore them, because they don't fit the downtrodden image, and folks on the right concentrate on what the black community is doing wrong. But a little positive reinforcement never hurt anybody or any community.

I have only read recaps and paraphrased portions of Dr Cosby's speeches but they certainly made sense. I wouldn't expect a medical school to accept a student who wanted "to be goin' to college". That was Cosby's point, you are not becoming an uncle tom by learning to communicate using proper English.
