Characterizing his own words as "blunt, but not harsh," Cosby criticized a culture in which "babies are wearing $40 sneakers while their mothers are feeding them Oodles of Noodles" and in which pimps and murderers are seen as heroes.

Bill Cosby is awesome!

Think what you want about Cosby, but he is shouting personal responsibility, something that should be shouted from the roof tops everywhere.

“You’ve got these idiots who’ve got these degrees and some of them are ordained ministers and they say, ‘Bill, you’re picking on the poor,”’ he said. He then drew laughs by adding, “Well, so did Jesus then. Jesus was always telling someone, ‘Go ye.’ Jesus was always telling people to go somewhere. And ‘don’t do this again or don’t do that again.”’

I am very certain the ‘Race Pimps’ like Sharpton, Jackson and others who have made it an industry of keeping Blacks down and in the ‘Victim’ mode, do not want to hear what Cosby has to say. They’ve been pretty successful in keeping him out of the mainstream and keeping their ‘Flocks’ on the Plantation.

Anyone who really cares about helping black folks should line up behind Cosby. I don’t expect to see Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright or Alicia Keyes in that crowd, which says a lot about them.

Cosby tells it like it is, but sadly, the people who should be paying attention are not listening.

Is it too late to write his name in?

[goldstategop]

The race hustlers hate him for he deprives them of their alibi and the reason for their occupation: IT'S ALL WHITEY'S FAULT! Everything can be blamed on racism. And Bill Cosby has the nerve to show up and state it ain't so.

Cosby is no conservative. I think he was a Kuchinich supporter.

[Renkluaf]

I too applaud Cosby and his points. However, the simple fact of the matter is that it's not just the race hustlers like Jackson and Sharpton that are the issue. If there was not a certain amount of "buy-in" to their themes among the black community, Jackson/Sharpton et al wouldn't be where they are now. It's certainly "easier" to take that tack.

If you selected at random 450 black highschool girls in Newark or Detroit, how many would have been sexually abused by older black men or have been pregnant and aborted or are pregnant now?

Compare that with the Texas debacle and see how badly it speaks for the urban black community.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Cosby is saying the truth, that this community’s problems are self-inflicted and that they should stop blaming Whitey for them. This would mean the end of the race industry and da revs Jesse, Al, and Jeremiah would be out of a job.
