““My problem,” Cosby told the audience, “is I’m tired of losing to white people.”

You are NOT losing to white people Mr. Cosby, you are losing to the illegals that have invaded your cities and have stolen your JOBS!

.....like they were ever going to work at those jobs to begin with.

But seriesly, I think he is saying that he is not tired of whites literally winning...he knows that society has preconceived notions about blacks and he is tired of the hiphop welfare culture proving those notions to be justifiable.

Because he believes, as a basic truth, that American [read ‘white’] society is endemically and historically racist, and that that ‘truth’ applies particularly to conservative whites and Republicans.

Because he believes rather than leave his party, he thinks he can restore it. I admire the man.

What do you propose he become? A republican? Exactly what IS a republican at this point?

I can tell you what a conservative is, and it is NOT a republican.

Good read. A lot of food for thought and a look at the black community that I haven’t seen.

"I think about that young “brother”every time I hear one of those gangsta rappers."

Gangsta' rap is the minstrel show of the 21st Century. The only difference is that whites in blackface are no longer required to act out the most odious stereotypes of blacks when real blacks are now perfectly willing to oblige.
