The comments last week from entertainer Bill Cosby beseeching blacks to stop blaming whites for their problems continue to serve as talk-show fodder and pundit subject matter.

I agree with the war on terror. I differentiate between behavior that is self defeating or self destructive and that which is outwardly destructive. You can argue that self-destructive behavior ultimately costs all of us, and is therefore our responsibility but that is the essence of socialism and would ultimately be more destructive if that philosophy is embraced.

Where did I say anything about "killing someone in the ghetto"? For that matter where does the article make any reference to killing people in the ghetto? Are you sure you're responding to the right post?

Doesn't make sense rave...black unemployment being twice the number than white isn't simply the byproduct of racism.
What Mr. Cosby was saying applies to my high school dropout, nasty mouth, can read but won't learn nephews. If people refuse to prepare themselves for ADULT life then they aren't victims, they are as Mr. Cosby puts it 'Knuckleheads'.
