Black America may resent what Bill Cosby has been saying lately, but the ones who look at it openly and honestly realize that he is speaking the truth.

Black Conservative metaping

""When I look at 55 percent of our black men dropping out of school, how bad off are we going to be when we need some lawyers?""

While I think Mr. Cosby is correct on many issues it would seem that he helps perpetuate the 'us' vs. 'then' racial mentality.

Get them while they're young. Otherwise, they grow up to be folks like Biggie Smalls and Old Dirty Bastard. By the time they're sixteen and seventeen, you have to toss them in a bootcamp as opposed to simple classroom teaching. This is according to my sister substitute teaching in a school that was taken over by the state. Boy did she get a rude awakening, and it didn't take her long to get jaded and cold either.

I still can't figure out the meaning of that statement *lol*

[Bommer]

Screw Cosby! He's been in the tank and supportive of the Democrap party that caused the cultural meltdown of the black family. Hypocrite!

[Keyes2000mt]

Just saw "Tell My Friends on the Shore" a '72 Cosby movie and his movies have been very consistent about preaching morals and values. Heck, Cosby's main character is even forced out of work by a union strike.

Your opinion, Sir?

Pretty soon we're going to start to see anti-Cosby political cartoons.

"I see a lot of girls who are pregnant. If they had a father figure, some of this wouldn't be," he said.

Cosby tells it like it is here--and this also applies to today's white community.

[cyborg]

Well at least he's trying to change things.

[Keyes2000mt]

Here, here. By backing Jesse Jackson and others at a political level, he's been part of the problem. By awakening moral conscience, he can be part of the solution.

Yep. "Somethings wrong with our children...they are angry"...Yeah, they`re being raised by dim-o-rats. I`d be angry too. "Oh Eddie, Bush is evil and we must listen to what Mr. Kerry says" "Waaah no Mom!!!"

[Straight Vermonter]

I just hope he is not preaching to the choir.

[Chode]

already being done, boondocks has pilloried him since he broke form the fold

[jungleboy]

Well duh Bill... It's the Jesse Jacksons (your dear, friend) of America that has kept this anger alive for OVER 20 YEARS!

[cyborg]

At least he's saying it. Some people need to be driven to absolute jealousy to do something. Blaming people and circumstances will only get you so far especially when other people in the same circumstances are achieving.

[llevrok]

when will the message sink in that the Democraps only want Blacks for their vote and not for their leadership and partnership? Give them "entitlements" to pacify them until vote time.

Bill Cosby needs to get on the voucher bandwagon.
