fcgv Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 This message by Bill Cosby is wonderful. It should be required reading for every coloured person in Canada and the USA. Can't Blame White People by 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. Mushmouth is what they speak! 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 throwing that all away. 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? They're walking around with their nasty underwear showing, and holding onto their pants to keep them from falling to the ground! Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up? Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up to her panty line, and got all types of needle piercings 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 . 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. 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 saying... you are hurting us. We have to start holding each other to a higher standard. We cannot blame the white people any longer. It is not for media or anyone of this time anymore to say whether I'm right or wrong. It is time, ladies and gentlemen, to look at the numbers. Fifty percent of our children are dropping out of high school. Sixty percent of the incarcerated males happen to be illiterate. There's a correlation. Tell the media to stop asking me what I think about people who don't believe what I'm saying or feel that I'm too harsh or feel that I'm just running my mouth because I'm old. Seventy percent of the teenagers pregnant happen to be African American girls. Don't ask me to soften my message. Quote
Leafless Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) Can't Blame White People Got to hand it to that Bill Cosby guy, sure is observant. Wonderful culture isn't it? Only problem is, it belongs in the backwoods of Africa along with another one here in Canada the belongs to prehistoric France. Edited July 20, 2007 by Leafless Quote
Wolf Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Where did Bill Cosby present this? I can't say I'm shocked that he said it, I just am curiouse as to when there was a perfect opportunity to deliver the message. Quote

I can't say I'm shocked that he said it, I just am curiouse as to when there was a perfect opportunity to deliver the message. He's been speaking like this for a long time all over the country. Jerry Doyle often plays clips of his speeches on his radio show. I usaualy listen to him on 1510 KGA Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 This message by Bill Cosby is wonderful. It should be required reading for every coloured person in Canada and the USA.... And what "colour" would that be? I like Cosby and his uphill crusade, but it's not just a message for "coloured people". Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
marcinmoka Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education,and now we've got these knuckleheads throwing that all away Sounds like something Obama said, albeit in a far more diplomatic tone. It's not just a message for "coloured people". Agreed. I just wish more people listened. Quote " Influence is far more powerful than control"
jbg Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 This message by Bill Cosby is wonderful. It should be required reading for every coloured person in Canada and the USA....And what "colour" would that be? I like Cosby and his uphill crusade, but it's not just a message for "coloured people".It's certainly a message for whites to stop enabling.Sounds like something Obama said, albeit in a far more diplomatic tone.What did Osama Obama say? Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
