Mr. Cosby points out that media critics such as Christopher Farley at Time Magazine are flawed in their argument that African American literary greats such as Langston Hughes and Zora Hurston honored the dialects that Mr. Cosby criticized as a lack of language proficiency that further denies opportunity to inner city blacks. "Clearly, Mr. Farley did not speak in dialect on 'Good Morning America' nor would he probably have been hired by Time if he spoke that way. Secondly, someone should question Mr. Farley whether Mr. Hughes or Ms. Hurston knew standard English and chose to write in dialect."

Spot on, Cosby.

Here in JXN, MS we have Kim Wade a young black man who has a radio program at 5:00pm each afternoon. Great conservative and has been preaching this message for years. There are blacks all over America that are concerned and have started to step up to call all blacks to personal responsibilty. May their numbers increase. It will only help us all!
