Ta-Nehisi said it, "But if we could just pay attention in school, stop stealing, learn proper English, and correctly apply deodorant, we'd be all right."
The first and third points are crucial. The last point may not be crucial but have you ever landed a job smelling like you haven't had a bath for four days? The second point pretty much goes away when the others have been met.
Sorry, dead, on this one Cosby is more right than wrong. This article isn't a rant on racism. It's a dig on Cosby.
Right on all accounts. But I still think Ta-Nehisi writes a fun article.
Besides, Cosby getting one right doesn’t square him in my book. I still remember him throwing money at the Sharpton/Tawana fiasco, without apology. And I remember his implication that American doctors invented AIDS to get rid of Africans. And I remember his wife’s assertion that her son's murder by a scumbag from Russia was the product of American racism.
Pardon me if I’ll enjoy a little Coz-bashing, whatever the reason.
HEY! HEY! HEY!
Uhhhh, Joe! Better get another cup of Joe before pressing the post button while the hemoglobin titre is too high in your caffeine stream.
Your post says that the behavioral pattern called "theft" goes away when people achieve the ability to pay attention, master English, and learn to use deoderant?????????????????
May I respectfully call your attention to the increasing hordes of white collar criminals (and I an not referring to Roman Catholic priests in sex scandals) who have excellent attention spans, speak English with flawless skill, and use deoderants daily.
Alas, "To Steal or Not To Steal" that is still the question.
Cosby has it right.
