Blacks need to stop simply blaming the Whites for their problems and start making the change for themselves and a big part of that is to stop glorifying the gang banger culture. Needless to say, his speech didn't go over too well.
Bill Cosby is an interesting man. He is very talented and I respect him a lot but the idealistic image he has for his people is unrealistic. You can't suppress a lifetime of African culture, years of slavery, and a civil rights movement in an entire people. Like anyone else, they want their own image--their own customs. The "Doctor and Mrs. Huxtable" reality he wants for them I simply think is too narrow-minded for the black community.

Go down to the mall and peruse the various "stupid spoiled whore" stores that cater to 8-11 year old white girls. I mean really. Paris Hilton. If I had a daughter would this be her role model? And what about the boys? Go into an Abercrombie and Fitch and open one of their catalogs. Of course, you'll have to buy one and remove the plastic packaging first to get to the naked women and scenes of guys playing "sports" with each other. Caucasian values, these?

The assumption that one group of people is better than the other. That is racism for you right there.
