Only in America can a poor black boy from Gary, Indiana grow up to be a famous white woman - Unattributed

Sometimes attributed to comedian Red Buttons and sometimes to Michael Jackson himself.

Back in the 70’s I took a black history undergrad course.

Got an A by capitalizing the word black in every paper and test I took.

University out on the left coast.

Exactly. Let’s talk about the likes of George Washington Carver, Booker T. Washington, Charles Drew....all men who realized that racism wasn’t going to stop them from achieving great things on their own merits.

Yes, I did not know that I was supposed to be obsessing over auto-tuned Youtube clips of Black crinimal news stories.

By email: Attributed to Bill Cosby

They’re standing on the corner and they can’t speak English.

I can’t even talk the way these people talk:

Why you ain’t,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk. Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads.

You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education,and now we’ve got these knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids $500 sneakers for what? And they won’t spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18, and how come you didn’t know that he had a pistol? And where is the father? Or who is his father?

People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn’t that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack,isn’t that a sign of something?

Isn’t it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body? What part of Africa did this come from??

We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don’t know a thing about Africa ....... I say this all of the time.

It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid.

I was born here, and so were my parents and grandparents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don’t have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany,Scotland,England,Ireland,or the Netherlands.

The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa ... So stop, already! ! !

With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap .......... and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person’s problem. We have got to take the neighborhood back.

People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different ‘husbands’ — or men or whatever you call them now. (sperm donors?)

We have millionaire football players who cannot read.

We have million-dollar basketball players who can’t write two paragraphs.

We, as black folks have to do a better job. Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard..

We cannot blame the white people any longer.’

Dr.. William Henry ‘Bill’ Cosby, Jr., Ed..D.

It’s NOT about color... It’s about behavior!
PASS THIS ON AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!

If your group needs a special history month it is probably because your group’s contributions are so insignificant that no one cares about them. Any group that needs to tout contributions such as inventing white-out (I just made that up) have major self-esteem issues (and rightly so).

As someone else said above, looks like she’s overcompensating, just like Barry.

When black people and white people get together, stuff like this happens.

My niece is 1/2 black and because of her young age doesn’t know anything about racial differences. I pray she never develops that kind of attitude.

Now that even the History Channel doesn’t pay attention to Black History Month anymore can we declare it an official non-event?

“I bet she don’t have a whole lot of white ‘friends’...............”

My first taste of racism happened in Pittsburgh in the early 70’s. We had a party and invited people from work. One black chick looked me straight in the eyes and said she may have had to work with us, but she hated white people and certainly wouldn’t hang out with any.

...usually with regard to skin melanin expression.


For me, skin color is only the most obvious, yet also most insignificant difference.

It’s like saying a white pickupt truck is different from a red Corvette primarily because they are different colors.

Well, Attucks was called a "mulatto", but he was actually a Natick Indian. Or "Native American" I guess I should say.

Johnson, on the other hand, was really an African and a very sad hard-luck case.

Anyhow, I know what you mean.

And don’t mention Richard Pryor’s classic observation:

“Has anyone noticed that when they finally gave us a month of our own, that it’s the shortest month of the year?”
