Slavery was never abolished, just given to the government's control deeming it legal

Quote:
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
That's why you have so many black men in slavery, I meant "incarcerated."

Why work when you can get almost as much by staying on public assistance? Why limit the number of kids you have when the state pays to birth them? Give them WIC, food stamps, section 8, etc.? Many of my friends limit the number of kids they have because of the cost, but somehow that does not matter to the near 75% of illegitimate kids borne today.

Apparently you are looking at sitituation from the outside and not looking at why this occurs and how it can be fixed. I also noticed that you are quick to blame blacks as if they are the only group on social programs which statistically is not true.

Do me a favor, do a simple poll. Ask any black family you know if their Mom or Dad were on welfare? I bet at least 50% of the time they were.

Nice sterotype, but I would get a higher number of non-blacks on welfare then I would blacks. I guess being that blacks have a higher rate of unemployment than whites has no bearing in you faux poll

We no longer have the public purse to pay for this kind of behavior. I say allow those who have lost jobs or suffered a massive $ loss to have four years of welfare. After that, no more. Otherwise it gets too comfortable.

And where do you suppose that they get those jobs that they lost due to company closings? I guess the "job fairy" will mysteriously bring them back after four years

Middly class people bring stabilty, order, public decorum and pride into neighborhoods. Getto people do not.

"Middly class" people have employment, "Getto" people have despair but since you can't understand that being "Ghetto" is an mentality that can be taught, just like spelling

Here is my blessing for you,

"May the Power of the Bronx be with you my son and many you not sin the sin of socialism anymore. May your mind be free and wallet your own."

Go in peace,
Father Webster

Living in Bronx is your sin not mine. I'm pretty sure if you would leave and see other parts of the country where blacks and other disenfranchised groups live and find that they are doing well you proably would actually learn something. How about stepping out of your comfort zone and actually try talking to some of the working poor who live in your community and find out why the social programs that you so abhor are helping more people than it hurts

Have you checked out the judical system lately? You really should do what I have done on occasion is sit in on a court trial and watch how lopsided the proceeding are. This does not include the ples bargin that lazy azz court appointed pretenders push on innocent people. Of course you rather go on repeating what someone else tells you instead of looking into these things yourself.

Bill Cosby is a legend. I listened to the audio version and it's so much more powerful to hear the words direct from the Dr.'s mouth.

Please, my good son, drink some coffee made from reality beans!

If you look at my post, I have NO problem providing state assistance to those who need it for only 4 years. When it becomes generational, throwing more money at it is merely throwing away money.

Taxes should be spent on infrastructure, schools, skills, etc. and not on generational welfare recipants.

I have traveled the world, lived in 8 states, lived overseas, etc. It is a disgusting shame what liberals have done to the Black Family, and like the Nazi propagandists, they have beat the victimhood drum so loud in the media, many Amerircan blacks have swallowed the big lie.

Please, all those people are innocent? Some for sure, but constantly? Think about how much money the city would save if it did not have to pay for a bloated court system, prisons, etc. due to the large numbers of repeat offenders?

So ?

Just because you screwed and had children with a black man doesn't mean that you know what it's like to be black.

Whites and their entitlement, I swear. Yet another why miscegenation should never exist.

Black posters, don't listen to your enemies.

All of you disagreeing with what Cosby says, what's the answer then?
Bigger welfare payments, more free meals at school? Possibly more free swiiming pools built along with some basketball courts so they can keep themselves entertained.
Of maybe we should continue to graduate these kids at a 3rd grade reading level and continue to set them up for failure.
So what's the problem and what's the answer if Bill Cosby is so wrong?

They don't want to aspire to be great not because they are not capable but because of what's being fed to their subconscious mind. And once again most are asleep, not knowing where they are from and who they are, same with black women, its just that in this system of white supremacy they are given better advancement because they pose less of a threat. Not hating on the sisters for them making it or anything but you need to be aware of the system at play, how it operates, and what's the reason for such.
Nice statement. I think you're getting too deep though. Keep it simple.
Blacks need guidance and positive role models, as does any youth.
In a lot of cases its not happening, or if it is they're badly influenced by their peers or crappy environment.
Simple as that.
Adapt and overcome, don't worry about anybody else or how you think other races regard you.
Most importantly, don't blame your personal failures on the color of your skin.
You see Asians pulling this crap? No.
