When are good, educated black people going to say "Enough!"?? I know some have started, but if I were a member of a race and idiots within my race always claimed to speak for me with this drivel, I would be very, very pissed.
I'm a 50-something Whitie. I was all for the Civil Rights movement in the 60's. I naively thought we'd level the playing field and move on. I was wrong. I see now (have for some time) that the "payback' era will never be over in my lifetime. And I'm getting fed-up! I mean, what's the use in trying if nothing's good or sufficient enough?
Those people who say that Kanye doesn't speak for them aren't important enough to get face time in front of a camera.
People who state the obvious aren't supplying news, it's those people who say something totally outrageous that get viewers to tune in.
What's also outrageous are people who are incapable of understanding this fact and determine that it must be true is someone said it.
When one appeals to the lowest common denominator, they become the general of an army of fools.
i believe Cosby tried to... look what happened to him. don't hold your breath waiting for good, educated black people to speak out.
