Bill Cosby "Some blacks can't speak english"
 
Mr. Cosby speaking his mind earlier this week (maybe not at the right place / right time) -

In the presence of NAACP President Kweisi Mfume and other African-American leaders, comedian Bill Cosby took aim at blacks who don't take responsibility for their economic status, blame police for incarcerations and teach their kids poor speaking habits.

Cosby made his remarks at a Constitution Hall event in Washington Monday night commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision that paved the way for integrated schools, reported Richard Leiby in his Reliable Source column for the Washington Post.

Leiby said Cosby's remarks were met with "astonishment, laughter and applause."

When Cosby finally concluded, Leiby said, Mfume, Howard University President H. Patrick Swygert and NAACP legal defense fund head Theodore Shaw came to the podium looking "stone-faced."

Shaw told the crowd most people on welfare are not African American. He insisted many of the problems his organization addresses among blacks are not self-inflicted.

Cosby said, according to Leiby: "Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids – $500 sneakers for what? And won't spend $200 for 'Hooked on Phonics.'

He added: "They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is' ... And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk. ... Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. ... You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!"

The Post said Cosby also targeted imprisoned blacks.

"These are not political criminals," he said. "These are people going around stealing Coca-Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake and then we run out and we are outraged, [saying] 'The cops shouldn't have shot him.' What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand?"

the funny thing is, if a white guy would have said the things cosby just said he would automaticly be labeled a racist....for pointing out the obvious.

Arkan 05-21-2004 10:43 PM

Cosby is right. These people speak like shit.

it is ironic, because cosby just said things ive been saying here for a while now, it doesnt mean im a racist, it means im not afraid to point out obvious facts, and neither is cosby....he's just able to get away with it cause hes black...and we all know black people cant be racist oOo:

dont u mean to say cosby is saying "not all blacks" and your right i have little respect for shit distubers like martin luther king...i think the whole civil rights movement is a big scam for the leaders to make money off idiots. I do respect however the hard working decent blacks (a small minority however) like a guy i work with who works full time and still attends college majoring in electrical engineering proving again that its not white racism that keeps blacks down but their own lack of initiative.

It was a joke. As much as it may make sense, it was still a joke and shouldnt be considered 'fact.'
