If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
I'm gobsmacked. BTW, I will be seeing Fat Albert. The trailers look real good so far.
Go Cosby Go!
The voice of one crying in the wilderness.......
Note to Bill: Become a Republican like Jackie Robinson did. The Dems are the ones who have done this to blacks.
I wish Bill had started speaking out like this 2-3 decades ago.
He could have made a difference in the black community before things really got out of hand.
As it is, he's fighting an uphill battle.
Chances are not good that Bill Cosby will be getting holiday cards of the Christmas and Kwanzaa variety from the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus, that's to be sure.
Right on, Mr. Cosby!
"Tell the boy not to sell drugs! That ought to take care of it right then and there."
I'd be hard put to come up with a reply to that one...
I respect very much what Cosby is trying to do. I certainly haven't always seen eye to eye with him, but he has had the ba--s to do something that has needed to be done for decades. Kudos to him.
I can't imagine how much further along blacks would be if Jessie JackAss, Big Al, the NAACP and the Black Caucus had been singing this tune for the last 30 years.
Now, if only some will listen.
Who was it - (King? Jackson?) who told young blacks, several years ago, that their problem wasn't getting out of the ghetto, but it was getting the ghetto out of their minds?

Too often, it is the incompetent administrators. Money will not cure that. Witness the astounding increase in dollars spent on the Department of Education during Bush's tenure.
Bill, the answer is not always more money. It is standards. It is firing the incompetent school officals and teachers. It is kicking the troublemakers out of school.
Otherwise, Mr. Cosby is doing great work. It is nice to see somebody from the entertainment industry speak in common sense terms. Nobody else in Hollyweird does that.
Excellent!!!
The NAACLP ought to name him their next President. Black America could use a dose of straight talk instead of blaming Whitey for all their problems. When you listen to Bill Cosby you get the impression he thinks it all comes down to a matter of personal responsibility. That's rare candor from a liberal and a Democrat these days.
