I did a search and didn't find this posted in the past on FR. I also checked Snopes and found this is TRUE.
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?
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.

Because you cannot sell socialism to an intelligent people..
Egad. Another great book I could have written but didn't...
Hehe. Talk show host Howie Carr is a UNC grad and college hoops fan.
I forget the topic, maybe education, but he said UNC students always managed to get behind on-air tv people with a sign that said "[star player of visiting team] can't read this sign".
When you speak plainly, and are brutally honest, lots of folks will have a problem with you.

That must be why I have so few friends!
"... They're unemployable too."
At last we have true equality.
Typical lib solution - don't raise everyone up - lower everyone so everyone is miserable.
Without the welfare, blacks would probably be doing BETTER now than they were in the '40s, instead of worse.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Where and in what way? Where I live they are doing much better economically than they were back then, I am not so sure about in other ways.
I think you are mistaken times 2.
IIRC - Dr. William Cosby received a Ed.D. (Doctor of Education) from University of Massachusetts at Amherst. (1977 - note - he got a Masters in 1972.)
IIRC(2) - UMass actively pursued him, promised him a chance to have special classes that fit his busy schedule. He did a thesis related to his cartoon characters (from Fat Albert Sat. AM show) and learning.
But ... IIRC(3) - see the book "Education's Smoking Gun: How Teachers Colleges Have Destroyed Education In America" by Reginald G. Damerell, - where he describes the ghettos of universities - the part dedicated to educating teachers ... and he references the special program for Bill Cosby.
NOTE - I am not trying to disparage Cosby's degree - I have never seen the thesis or the quality of his work. It is not uncommon for universities to come up with special programs ... and when Cosby was enticed into the program - it was definitely going to be mutually beneficial. If I had to guess - I suspect that the program might be a "Ph.D. "lite" program - but it might have more integrity than some of the other programs out there, and Coz actually did some real work for it. It is probably truly an earned degree.)
Now - in the book referenced above, there were classic examples where nearly functional illiterates were taken into some Ed.D. program (sometimes without a Bachelor's degree, and of questionable academic capabilities) ... and after demonstrating extreme incompetance - they were dropped from the Ed.D. program, but allowed to get a M.A.Ed degree - where they could then get a high paying job that they were totally unqualified for!!!
But back to Cos ... great guy. He was at USNA last September to entertain the parents of Firsties (First Class Parents Weekend) .... sadly - my son is a Second Class Mid - otherwise I would have been there - enjoying every minute.

And their pants hang even lower.
And they commit more crimes per capita.
And their gangs are far more violent.
And at least half of them are here illegally.
And they don't even speak English...let alone Ebonics.
It's time for black Americans to stand with white Americans and close the borders.
Because you cannot sell socialism to an intelligent people..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You cannot sell it to TRULY intelligent people, there are however, plenty of people with high IQ scores who profess to believe that socialism is just wonderful. I am thoroughly convinced that IQ scores only cover part of what constitutes real intelligence and I speak as one who has made some high test scores.
How it must pain him to see all this stupidity.
Yup... "WE just MUST help out those who have no resources to do it for themselves!"
