It's no secret that I support what Bill Cosby is doing as it pertains to waking the Black Community up and I will take every opportunity to share his word. Check out some of a recent speech that Bill gave in Baltimore on August 22, 2006. Just click link below. www.letstalkhonestly.com/page/page/1307246.htm

The only problem Bill Has is that all too often he is preaching to the choir.

That's what I'm talking about sweetiepie.
Too often, black folks want things said just right. That's why I catch a lot of flack when I am blunt about things.
IF things aren't said the right way, black folks won't pay attention, in general.

You hit the nail on the head! Then of course, nothing happens and we stay in the same state of nothingness that we've always been in... nothing changes.

Yes. I love Bill Cosby. I know I'm late on this one, but I have to spread the word. I am eager to make a difference in Baltimore and in the US among black youth. Please visit my website to see my approach and how you can do the same. reachingyoungminds.blogspot.com

Positive reinforcement... one must be present in a child's life... not absent.

....Every since I saw this site, I have seen Cosby and others in a new light. I think certain people including Bill forget where they come from and how they got there where they think they are. You are going to have good and bad in every group of people....good/bad preachers, good/bad cops, good/bad white folks. That don't mean you can thumb your nose up at me.....because you think you are better than me. And yes, it's not what you say but how you say it. That's true no matter where you go. Respect is the key. Now, if you have never been in my shoes...how can you judge me?? Yes, a lot of us need to have our butts kicked, but to publicly degradate my people with racism running rampant all over. What is he really trying to do.....win whitey points!! Oreos exist you know....yeh ~ they do. www.chappelletheory.com/

You take it personally ONLY if applies to you. It is natural to get angry if one feels that they have been misjudged... Judged? I don't recall Cosby naming any names. Who has ever had the nerve to take the heat like this? Yes, there is BS in every group. It has been way past time for black folx to be respectful and to be respected of each other. If we don't do it amongst each other who else will? I have seen too much medicrity amongst too many of us. Why do we need someone to kiss our azzes to make us do right? When was the last time we acted as if we had a future? The black male and female are at odds most of the time, there is no togetherness and if you want any black folx to show up for something important, something worthwhile it better be the local minstrel show or you better give away something free. Is the future of black america bright? It doesn't look that way to me and I don't live in a house on the hill. There seems to be a misconception that cuz I am not well to do I gotta think lowly like they do. Well I want better I am not gonna settle for the okie doke and I am not gonna sit back and watch my children turn into statistics for the sake of lookin' cool. You have to talk straight on to black folx cuz they will blow you off. How many years have we heard, "Yeah the white man is the problem, he's our enemy!" This speech just strokes our egos because it means that we don't have to accept responsibility for ourselves. Well that very well may be... so what are WE gonna do about it? You want them to hear what you have to say? Make em mad, that will get em talking. At least it's a start. Now how long ago did he start this? Two years? What's changed? Now we've had ego stroking... that didn't work. Now we have someone calling us out... too much bytchin because the message wasn't nice... What is it gonna take?

If my tooth is loose....it would need pulling, but there is a reason WHY it's loose. And the reason may not be because it is time for it to come out....there may be underlying reasons of WHY. For him to assume that every thang IS okey dokey and predjudice does NOT exist is the pattern of those who either choose to forget where they came from or they were never there from the gitgo. It is nice to be important, but its more important to be nice. Taking the heat for talking down on Blacks while appearing to be Black ~ Is No sweat!! They don't put Black leaders in jail for bringing down the Black race. They put them in jail for awakening us to the TRUTH. The majority of his money comes from the whites....No, no...he's not loosing any points at all. I wonder what he thinks about the condition of Blacks in Africa, or Cuba, or Austrailia ? I guess they have no reason not to make it either. Oh, that's right. This is the land of milk and honey....AmeriKKKa the Butiful....there are no problems here.
