My point stands.. They are the same breed of scam artist. Rush may be better at it, but at the same time he isn't manipulating poor people to donate to his cause which is to grow his personal wealth. Rush is pretty up front about the fact he is getting very wealthy from his work. I am no fan of Rush or any other talk show host. I don't need anyone to think for me. Unfortunately most people are too lazy to form their own opinions.
How else can we explain party hardliners????????
Case in point. The same people who defend Obama over gas prices were distorting twisting and at times lying about GWB and gas prices. The same folks pounding Obama on gas prices fought tooth and nail to defend GWB on the issue.
As a child I was taught accountability. My dad accepted very few excuses. I don't blame anyone for poor decisions that I have made or my mistakes. I look in the mirror and say damn.
Cosby nailed it. Not just in regards to the black community but society as a whole.
13 year old kids with tats and face piercings? Where are the parents? The excuse ohhhhh you need to let them express themselves. No you need to save them from their poor decision making. At 13 who thinks about what a prospective employer will think on first impression?
We have created an entitlment minded society... Its always someone elses fault, and its the feds job to save us.

How interesting. I was never surveyed for this poll. Nor do I consider Jesse my leader. I am very smart and quite capable of independent though; I have zero need for a black leader.

It sounds like you are more fascinated with Jesse than any black person could ever hope to be.

Yeah because clicking on a Wiki link and reading 2 lines is total obsession. Just how pathetic can you get?

Not sure, but you're doing a pretty good job setting the record.

Don't be mad at me because they didn't send you the survey about Jesse Jackson, it's pretty common not to survey people who are incarcerated or don't file income taxes.

So, to sum up the thread:

OP: "Why do negros hate Bill Cosby for telling kids to stay in school and not get knocked up?"

Every black person on City-Data: "um, negros? And most black people like Bill Cosby."

White people: " No you don't, and here's some third-rate academic (Michael Eric Dyson, Boyce Watkins, etc) to prove it."

So, yeah, the OP's assumption is false.

Negros? Are you sure you're in the right thread?

You responded to somebody who said "we evolved into being a civilized species that does rip each other limb from limb in a contest to see who gets the most fertile female?" by saying "Haven't been to Detroit or Atlanta lately have you?"

Your post implies that people from Atlanta and Detroit are somehow less evolved than people from elsewhere in the country.

Ah look at that I found another post in which you dehumanize people from Atlanta and Detroit!
