I'd kill any of my kids if they did that.
So his message is wrong because he's a liberal??
Go buy a clue.
I guess if he speaks personal responsibility, yet doesn't agree with you politically, he's still "eeevil," right? Hell, that attitude is no better than the Dems.
Besides. Majette lost. Though she was a moonbat, given the choice here, I'd much rather have had her in that 4th Congressional seat than what we ended up with: Cynthia "Jihad" McKinney...especially considering that with that district's present boundaries, a Republican doesn't have a snowball's chance of winning.
But back to Cosby. I don't care if he donates to John F'n Kerry. His message is one that needs to be heard. He can reach far more people than I can on a day-to-day basis. His voice adds to mine, and forces people to reexamine their personal responsibility.
I'll take that -- even from a Democrat -- over the traditional moonbat mantra any day of the week.
I'm not "locked up" in anybody's "worst neighborhood." My neighbors are not "locked up" in anybody's "worst neighborhood." Much of black America is not "locked up" in anybody's "worst neighborhood."
The black middle class is far from "locked up."
However, they are receiving one side of the message. Cosby is helping deliver that other side.
I'm certain that at least part of those allegations do have a political source. I get e-mails from people, and phone calls when I appear on radio shows, from people who get upset with me for "airing dirty laundry in public."
Cosby is getting the same thing.
Living in a very poor community is all about survival. The whole day is dedicated to it. You don't fuss at kids for cussing or smoking or doing drugs unless you want a beating. When you leave that neighborhood and move to middle-class land, you forget that whole mindset. So it's easy to demand they "straighten up".
It's easy to blame the "leadership" but they are running a con game and they need the masses of poor to support the con.
He and his family were raised Christian and did not believe in the tribalism associated with Africa. He came to college in America to better himself. His family was fairly wealthy in Africa and they would be poverty level by American standards.
Dr. Coz has the right message and is delivering it to the right people. Unfortunately, he is not as entertaining as crack, PlayStations, McDonalds, and hip hop. He will be forgotten the next week.
I appreciate what you said, but I think it's silly for him to preach personal responsibility and then support candidates that want to expand the socialist nanny state, and support the very programs that encourage and dare say I *cause* the lack of responsibility he's preaching about!
"So his message is wrong because he's a liberal?? Go buy a clue."
Ahem.
See my immediately prev post on this thread, and then you can apologize.
Read up a couple msgs. In a nutshell, he preaches personal responsibility and then supports politicians who promote the nanny state mentality that causes the problems that concern him!
No apologies. But thanks for confirming what I thought.
I've heard clips of his speech. It is true that he does at some point address the lower-economic blacks specifically, but his overall message is definitely to the black community as a whole.
ALL of us should be paying attention.
True indeed. Who is Cosby's audience? He's going to the inner cities - not the suburbs. What's your take on the situation I described? The most oppressed people in our county are undeniably inner city black folks and I am tired of conservatives getting the blame.
Perhaps I should have used more adjectives in my original post. Next time I will say "inner-city black folks who are not mhking nor affiliated with same."
Ask youself who do the Dem's go shooting with when they are running for president? It's always the only two white democrats to ever shop at a Cabella's in a field in Iowa, isn't it?
And who is standing up for the black folks to take back their cities? None other than a white republican woman from Texas named K. Bailey Hutchinson who has introduced legislation to restore the Second amendment to Washington DC thus empowering black folks.
Gun control is a very small element of the problems of the Underclasses. There is certainly no shortage of guns in their communities and the same problems are destroying them in rural Mississippi where there is no gun control problem as in Chicago.
Trying to pretend Out of Wedlock births has something to do with gun control is nothing but idiocy. Or an attempt to make those of us who support the RTKABA look like loons.
You arent' goofy enough to believe that fewer anti-gun laws would mean fewer sluts popping out illegitimate babies now are you? There is NO relation between the biggest problem of the Black community and gun laws.
Apparently you know as little about gun laws in Chicago as you do sociological phenomena.
NRA members and legal gun owners tend to be good citizens all around. Out of wedlock births and such cannot directly be contributed to gun control. The gun control is part of a systematic program of oppression and forced dependency on the government. Socialism always leads to oppression.
