“Cosby is probably the only person who could get away with talking the way he does.....”
That Cosby is the only person stating what is right, is scary.
There are some plain truth speaking black folks out there, Walter Williams comes to mind off hand.
The problem is not just with blacks - There’s lots of good digs that can be got in at Leftists with their trashing of the high school graduation rate over the last 30 years.
So true. So many are blind.
Imagine being who you are, having the beliefs that you do, and living in a totalitarian communist state like the former USSR. How much courage would you have to muster to stand up and say the sorts of things that Bill Cosby is saying now?
I can tell you from having lived it, that being a black person with solid conservative beliefs, and dearly held patriotic views (in the black community) is very much like what I just described.
Only those blacks who have risen to great heights of wealth and fame can get away with saying these sorts of things in the black community without paying a heavy price for doing so.
You think white liberals think in lockstep? They've got nothing on black liberals. I almost can't describe to you how deep radical leftism really is in our black communities. It's nearly the cultural default setting.
I know this because I'm from there.
The age of playing the race card has to be over, the permanent 'victimhood' needs to be eradicated.
Black students, at any level, if they aspire to achieve success, earned excellent grades...far too often are put down, ridiculed as 'acting white'. The peer pressure NOT to succeed in many lawful endeavors is certainly negating many futures.
