Go Bill Cosby Go!!!!!

[1stdeadeye]

Nice to see someone talking about the root cause of societal problems!!!

Lack of education!!!!

[Albinonewt]

Bill Cosby is the kind of role model that many of our youth need. It's good to see someone using his celebrity in a positive way

[AutomagRT1483]

Wow I just read that. Bill Crosby laid down the law good. I sincerly hope it motivates more people out there to get a good education, we all need it.

[NJPaint]

We need more people like him, not only in the black community though. He is absolutely right that whining won't get you anywhere.

[Muzikman]

This has been his stance for many years. He got alot of griping from the NAACP about stuff he has said. Sad part is, he's right, and they don't see it.

[xmetal2001]

I respect him much more now.

[OysterBoy]

..now wheres the applause button...

Makes me happy to see him examining the issue and then making his assesment instead of saying 'Its the medias fault'.

[AcemanPB]

Bravo, Bill Cosby is my hero!

[davidb]

Did anybody check out the poll asking if he was justified in making those comments? 94% said yes!

[RamboPreacher]

yup, unfortunately.
I believe this to be the case as well. Mr. Cosby has had my respect for a number of years, and not because of his status as an entertainer.

[Fred]

Wow... that was a good read..

time for some jello and pudding pops...

[FutureMagOwner]

150500 voted and 98% said he was right, yet noone does anything about it it seems like to me

[aaron_mag]

Cosby also said he wasn't concerned that some whites took his comments and turned them "against our people."

"Let them talk," he said.

Keep talking

for those of you who couldnt understand that article because of its "proper" grammar, heres an updated version...

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Bill Cosby jet off on another tirade against da negroid community Thursday, telling uh room full o' activists dat negroid chil'ns iz running around not knowing how ta read or write an' "going nowhere."

He also had harsh werdz fo' struggling negroid men, telling them: "Stop beating up yo' biAtchez cuz ya can't find uh job."

Cosby made headlines in May when he upbraided some poor blacks fo' they grammar an' accused dem o' squandering opportunities da civil rights movement gave dem.

He smok'd back Thursday, saying his detractors wuz trying in vain ta hide da negroid community's"dirty laundry."

"Let me tell ya somethin', yo' dirty laundry gets out o' skoo at 2:30 every day, it'scursing an' calling each other n------ as they're walking up an' down da street," Cosby said during an appearance at da Rainbow/PUSH Coalition & Citizenship Education Fund'sannual conference.

"They th'o't they're hip," da entertainer said. "They can't read; dey can't write. They're laughing an' giggling, an' they're going nowhere."

In his remarks in May at uh commemoration o' da anniversary o' da Brown v. Board o' Education desegregation decision, Cosby denounced some blacks' grammar an' said those who commit crimes an' wind up behind bars "are not political prisoners."

"I can't even jive da way deez peeps jive, 'Why ya ain't,' 'Where ya is' ... an' I blamed da kid until I heard da mudda jive," Cosby said then. "And then I heard da father jive ... Everybody knows it'simportant ta speak English except deez knuckleheads. You can't be uh doctor wiff dat kind o' crap coming out o' yo' mouth."

Cosby elaborated Thursday on his previous comments in uh jive interrupted several times by applause. He castigated some blacks, saying dat dey cannot simply blame whites fo' problems such as teen pregnancy an' high skoo dropout rates.

"For me dere iz uh tyme ... when we's gots ta turn da mirror around," he said. "Because fo' me it iz almost analgesic ta jive about what da whitey nig iz doin' against us. And it keeps uh person frozen in they seat, it keeps ya frozen in yo' hole you sitting in."

Cosby lamented dat da racial slurs once used by those who lynched blacks iz now uh favorite expression o' negroid chil'ns. And he blamed parents.

"When ya put on uh record an' dat record iz yelling 'n----- dis here an' n----- that' an' you've got yo' little 6-year-old, 7-year-old sitting in da back seat o' da `64, those chil'ns hear dat," he said.

He also condemned negroid men who missed out on opportunities an' iz now angry about they lives.

"You've got ta stop beating up yo' biAtchez cuz ya can't find uh job, cuz ya didn't wants ta git an education an' now you (earning) minimum wage," Cosby said. "You should gots thought mo' o' yourself when ya wuz in high skoo, when ya had an opportunity."

Cosby appeared Thursday wiff da Rev. Jesse Jackson, founder an' prezident o' da education fund, who defended da entertainer'sstatements.

"Bill iz saying let'sfight da right fight, let'slevel da playing field," Jackson said. "Drunk peeps can't do dat. Illiterate peeps can't do dat."

Cosby also said many young peeps iz failing ta honor da sacrifices made by those who struggled an' died during da civil rights movement.

"Dogs, water hoses dat tear da bark off trees, Emmett Till," he said, naming da negroid youth who wuz tortured an' murdered in Mississippi in 1955, allegedly fo' whistling at uh whitey biotch. "And you going ta tell me you going ta drop out o' skoo? You're going ta tell me you going ta jack from uh swapmeet?"

Cosby also said he wasn't concerned dat some whites took his comments an' turned dem "against our peeps."

"Let dem jive," he said. sho 'nuff!
