Bill Cosby spoke the truth
For those of you that have not been paying attention. Bill Cosby just went off on his people. I personaly think this is a good thing. He said what really needed to be said and did not pull in punches. It is about time that someone stood up and did not care what people would say bad about him and started caring for the black community.
You might not know this, but Bill was a PhD before he made it big in entertainment. So he really understands the value of an education. He knows that you must present yourself properly or people will not take you seriously.
So what he said to the people came from a good place and if people would listen it would be a net good. The bad part is that I do not think people will. He really meant this from a good place and said it with love in his heart. I think they are more likely to call him an “uncle tom” and leave it at that. This will be much to there detriment.
So what are your opinions? Do you think he said it to be a jerk and make the news? Do you think anyone would pay attention?
Bill is known for this. He has spoken out on many occasions and at many engagments with just this topic.
So history pans out you are probably right. He is trying to do good and is normally ignored. The black community does not want to address him and I think most of the main stream ‘black leaders’ avoid him because he is what they are not… 1. a man that truly cares for the black community and 2. right.
Unfortunately this kind of thing is just ignored. This happened quite a while ago and we’ve not seen anything come of it. True change has to come from within, and I don’t think he’s within anymore. In the eyes of those who need to hear him, Cosby is already one of the bad guys.
Blacks are a voting-block, period.
Their utility to their Democrat Massah’s is predicated upon their dependency upon government.
To even suggest to them that they are fully-functional human beings capable of controlling their own destinies without government handouts is discouraged at all costs.
@Unum Those are strong thoughts. Could you please explain more? I see it completely different and I think once we remove emotion we can have a good discussion and use logic.
I think what Cosby says does not just apply to black Americans, but all Americans. Anyone regardless of race who depends on government for anything, will be let down.
