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. 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 walking around.

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?

People putting their 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?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] 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 .......

I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid.

I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England , Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa ... So stop, already! ! !

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, you are hurting us.

We have to start holding each other to a higher standard..

We cannot blame the white people any longer.'
Dr.. William Henry 'Bill' Cosby, Jr., Ed..D.

WELL SAID, BILL


It's NOT about color... It's about behavior!

Well said.. and sad but true. Even sadder is when I see "European- Americans" following suit. :(:mad:

That just makes me sick to see the idiot white kids trying to act all gangsta like, and talking like that. When most of them are big wussies, that a real gangsta would beat the crap out of them for acting like "they be bad".

Unfortunately, some things will never change....................and when you have a gov't that keeps this bandwagon/culture moving, it will just get worse. It's so much easier to complain, and take from others, than having to work to get what you desire. Everything becomes lazy, including your speech, and your language, and your dress/appearance. When the gov't aids this behavior, and judges let them back out on the streets, and kids become parents, before they can wipe their own arse. When people have to work two and three jobs to pay their bills. When parents don't make sure that their children stay in school, because they're out looking for crack rocks. Or wine. Or trouble. This " behavior" for lack of a better term, certainly will never change or even get better in my lifetime. This speech will never get better in my lifetime. It's been allowed to go on for way too long, and when someone says anything about it, they're a racist. This is a culture that's been allowed to grow up ignorant, lazy, dependent, addicted, irresponsible, unsympathetic, lack of remorse or conscience. It's been allowed.

Too bad, Bill is speaking to deaf ears.

Until black people raise their living standards, this will continue.

Blacks aren't alone. I hear people reporting the news who use the word irregardless which isn't a word at all. The real word is regardless. I hear them say that they feel when what they should say is I think. Hands feel, minds think. I hear them say that women and children will be the most adversely impacted when they mean most adversely affected. They to are murdering the King's English. I've often thought, "ain't they got no fetchin'." For those of you who don't know, fetchin' is a whole lot like book learnin'.

He did the right thing.....................if you can't trust yourself with a firearm, get rid of it. As far as protecting his family, I feel for them, because waiting for LE to arrive, will cost you.
