Not being able to speak proper English sure is not just a black thing in the USA. Half the white folks in Appalachia can't get through a sentence without making a glaring error in grammer. I've spoken to whites in Arkansas who sounded like they were speaking some foreign language. How many Americans would say, "Wheres he at"? You call that English?
Exactly...so what happen to black people from the 60's going forward? Where did they do wrong? Liberal policies of the 60's and 70's is what went wrong if you ask me.
Right on target! When you lower the standards, the overall level of schooling, pro-social behavior, public decorum, and respect for others gets lowered.
Thank you Liberals for wounding our nation! Hope you are proud...
Oh wait, you don't see this? Oh, forgot, you never live in the places that your imposed policies create...
and where did this start?
In the 60's when the government implemented social programs to replace the father.
Within 3 generations you have chaos.
YES. Fully concur. Liberals have destroyed Black America but making the Dad redundant. So without male role models in the family, Black Children pay the price. Especially the boys.
If people are so upset with Cosby, imagine what Malcomn X would be saying if he were alive today?
Again, forget that Cosby's comments were directed at blacks....I think that they should just be stated as universal, regardless of race that in order for your children to prosper they need to get an education, have their parents involved and so forth.
I just wish Mr. Cosby had made his speech universal instead of aimed at blacks, it's not about race it's about self respect and reaching your potential and taking care of your responsibilities.
Had he done this, people would be less defensive since the truth hurts just so much.
Id like to think this is a subculture but the numbers say different. Even educated blacks belittle other well spoken blacks for not being black enough.
Its no secret that the number of 2 parent homes are under 30%. There are more black Men in jail than in college, and that is a direct result of single mothers trying to raise a Man.
I sadly have to concur. Look at any college campus today, even a traditional Black college like FAMU or Howard. The number of Women of Color FAR outnumber the men of color. Frankly, this has led to increasing marginalization of Black men in the nation, and is some of the reason why a growing number of Women of Color are marrying other than Black men. The disparity in education and world view are just some of the factors for this.
You need help Hilltop. Someone with a brain asks WHY do they do these things. Here's a hint....you heard the kid talk poorly, and then heard his parents and they talked poorly...and guess what? You keep going and the grandparents talk poorly,and the greatgrandparents talked poorly. Strange huh?
And then you follow the money trail...why is this child poor? Then you look at his parents and ask why are they poor? Oh wait..look at his grandparents and they are poor...hmm..and so are his greatgrandparents and their parents as well are poor. That's weird too huh?
When you ask the right questions, and seek truth, only then will you understand and find the real answer. And it isn't "well he is poor because he wants to be and it's his own fault." But most people don't have the capacity or inclination to seek truth..it's just easier to blame people, ridicule, and make dumb/uninformed statements.
Nothing Bill Cosby is saying is inherently wrong, but he is only 1/4 right...now what is that 3/4 that is missing in all this? Hmm...
You are correct. Then we hear, "Where are the jobs?"
Let me ax you, what business in their right mind would hire any one who spoke , dressed or acted like this?

Well it is pretty universal at this point in time. The idiocracy is here. Kids cannot speak, write, add, comprehend reading, much less understand birth control, simple finances like maintaining a bank account, or how to learn to drive. Many of these kids are in their twenties and they sure are not all black.

...and our current pop culture glorifies academic ignorance and destructive behavior.
My friend, where is the self accountabilty of those who choose to indulge? Ronald Regan and Ollie North--is this a conspiracy theory or fact? "Don't Do CRACK!" Ronnie's wife had that saying.
The CIA was fully aware of the impending crack epidemic in US cities, and the Reagan administration shielded both those shipping cocaine into the country, and high-level crack dealers who sold the end product, as a piece of the larger Iran-Contra conspiracy. Author Gary Webb wrote extensively about it before his death: Gary Webb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's ironic a reggae singer like Buju Banton can get 15 years in prison for "conspiracy to distribute" without actually doing so, while the feds actually conspire to distribute in our cities and ruin our communities without so much as a slap on the wrist.

But, they get a pass. Funny.
So you think Conservatives have no part in the the destruction of American Blacks? I guess the Southern Strategy was created by Liberals as well
