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?"

is he becoming a uncle tom

I think the phrase Uncle Tom is always used in the wrong context. Back on topic: I applaud what Mr. Cosby did. Too many parents, especially minorities and poor whites, would rather have their kids bling blinging than reading a fucking book.

i am absolutely outraged at his racist remarks.

[559_Soldado]

How is he being rascist? He's tellin the truth. That would be the same thing If I said I'm tired of young latinos droppin out of high school, sellin drugs and gettin locked up.

What phil is trying to say is that, white people (including myself - rather frequently) have been saying these same things for some time now, but when the words come out of our mouths, it is not looked at as a reality because no black man can get past the thought of such criticism coming from a white person. I have been hated on, over and over, bitched at constantly about being a racist for saying these very same things -- but when a black man says it, everyone is listening. There is plenty of evidence in this forum alone. That is why he is making the statement, "why isn't anyone calling him a racist"..

 

[559_Soldado]

^^Now I see what he was tryin to say.

 

[Formaldehyde Rx]

Kids say the darndest things.

I think The Coz is just mad because richard prior is so much funnier than him. How many of you remember eddie murphy raw talking about something simmilar he said.



















FUCK YOU EDDIE!

ehh. some of them still prefer the comforting shade that the racism umbrella provides them. like the naacp. bill will be called an uncle tom for sure, only because he is further dulling the once sharp edge of the word racism.

 

[phil]

why do i get the feeling that if rush limbaugh had used these exact words this post would be right at the top. where are all the race warlords when you need them? tenk, sarge, nefar?

TALK LIKE A SQUARE?

EDJ, YOU DONT EVEN REALIZE IT BUT ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO PERPETUATE RACISM IN AMERICA TODAY. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR ATTITUDE WILL NOT GET YOU OUT OF SITUATIONS YOU BLAME THE WHITE MAN FOR BEING IN. THEREFORE YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BITCH ABOUT BEING IN THOSE SITUATIONS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF THEM BUT WONT, BASED ON "REAL NIGGAISM"

YOURE NOT CONCERNED ENOUGH WITH WHAT WHITE PEOPLE THINK. IF YOU RAISE YOUR KIDS WITH THE SAME ATTITUDE THEY ARE DESTINED FOR FAILURE. AND THEYRE GONNA THINK IT WAS THE WHITE MANS FAULT WHEN IT WAS REALLY YOURS.
