It probably does. However, I don't see the AA community doing anything to address the problem. Indeed, blacks who speak to the issues (e.g., Sowell, Cosby, etc.) are reviled in the black community because they point to blacks as the cause of the problem. Sharpton, Jackson, et al all want more money thrown at the problem, and they always play the race card even though they can guess that race isn't the issue (e.g., the Duke lacrosse case). It just seems to me that the AA community isn't willing to accept responsibility for anything that touches their lives, from raising children to educating their children. We've thrown billions into the War On Poverty since it was declared by Johnson and what do we have to show for it? A recent report said poverty is worse now than it's ever been. Time to cut the entitlements and let people sink or swim.
What's even more important to realize is that the timing of his comments wasn't a mere coincidence, either. They were made very shortly after a number of media reports were issued in which it was announced that Hispanics had just surpassed "African-Americans" as the largest minority group in the U.S.
What has changed here -- and it was reflected in Cosby's frustration -- is the stark realization that "African-Americans" as a political force aren't going to be pandered to anymore . . . even by Democrats.
