Cosby continues with the smack down

Cosby

He makes very valid points... which totally dumbfounds me because Jesse Jackson actually defends him. This is like Kerry coming out and supporting Bush's tax cuts.

[[AK]Abaddon]

Yeah, Cosby speaks truth. He's about the only person who could get away with saying that stuff without being shot.

When I see someone dressed like a idiot, acting like an idiot, and unable to use the English language properly -- I assume they are an idiot. And I think most employers out there are the same way. Sometimes it seems like people are TRYING to be a living stereotype.

[Slaughter]

Trying and succeeding.. while also being annoying with it.

Cosby certainly hits close to home.. specially around here in Clifton in Cincinnati. Last night alone I heard about 3 gunshots... Not to mention about a month or so ago me and some friends were walking back from the local La Rosa's and had some young black kid ask us for some change.. of course none of us had any. Well we walk along, get around a corner and start going down some stairs when we have some water hit us, so we were like, "what the heck was that". We just kept walking though, until the little f$&(*^ threw another water balloon at us as we were walking across the parking lot. He was lucky we didn't turn around and go piss beat him.

No respect at all, none of the black people living by the stereotype have it.. as Cosby said, its N this, N that.. maybe its society's fault, but then again maybe its their own damn fault.

Life is full of choices, and the results of those choices. There is no one to blame but the indivdual.

I like Cosby's message, and hope it leads to an aire of "accountability" that we desperately need here. Enough of the blame game, it leads to excuses and stupid lawsuits. What we need is for people to stand up and say, "you know what, that was stupid, and it's my fault."

But this sort of thing erodes the Dem's powerbase. After all, accepting personal responsibility for your life is taboo. You need "big nanny government" looking out for you. Big nanny knows best. You can't make it without big nanny.

So don't work to improve yourself - vote Democrat, and take money away from the individual to fund your big nanny.

People in this country need to wake up.

[[AK]Hylander]

I think a main message that Cosby makes is applicable to everyone, regardless of race or ethnic background.

[[AK]Squidly]

Absolutely, and you know this has to gall the Dems in general and Jessie Jackson in particular. But he can't say anything because Cosby is such a beloved figure.

Squirm, squirm, squirm...

In other news, I'm looking forward to the Fat Albert movie.

It is about time that a member of the Black community is willing to speak out on an issue that has been going on to long. And god forbid it was a white man to speak out it would be racism.

[Slaughter]

I've been speaking out on it for the past couple months.. a couple friends have joined me in it, and a few more have joined our view. Still some of my other friends think I'm a racists.. but its actually the black people perpetuating the stereotype and the use of the N-word.

I've even said that to them.. but no, I'm still a racist. Bill Cosby is now a Saint in my book. St. Cosby.

[Ages]

Regardless of race, its good to see someone stand up for treating each other right. Once they swallow what he is telling them they should take a trip through the New Testament and really put some joy in their lives.

You know, I have been arguing this for so long with people. Even blacks! In the end, I am always accused of being a "racist bastard", when in all actuallity, I am only pointing out the fact that "the blame game" can no longer be applied here. Everyone, no matter what the color of their skin, must take responsibility for their own lives and take advantage of the great opportunities that are provided for everyone here in this great nation.
