Bill Cosby: Blacks can't speak English

[EDJ]

NITRO,
YOU STRESSED, "I agree, but how many doctors or lawyers have you seen talking in ebonics?"

A BETTER QUESTION WOULD BE, "HOW MANY DOCTORS HAVE YOU SEEN THAT ARE BLAK, AND OUT OF THOSE, HOW MANY STAY TRUE TO THEY CULTURE AND PEOPLE?" BUT LIKE MISTA SINISTA SAID, A LOT OF US KNOW HOW TO BE BILINgUAL WITH IT, TO WHERE WE KNOW WHEN TO SPEAK WHAT. PERSONALLY, I CAN'T FUK WITH IT.

PHIL,

YOU STRESSED, "youre absolutely right and i agree with you to a certain extent but youre taking it the wrong way edj."

HOW'S THAT? HOW AM I TAKIN' IT THE WRONg WAY? CUZZ SPEAKIN' DOWN LIKE THE SHIT WAS A gENERAL RULE. SO YOU SAYIN' THAT YOU CAN'T TALK INTELLIgENTLY WITH A SLANg?

THEN YOU STRESSED, "its just that its plain fact youre not going to get a good job (in most instances) talking slang."

I WONDER WHY THAT WOULD BE? OH YEAH, THE MUTHA-FUKAS THAT RUN SHIT ARE BIAS. REgARDLESS, MUTHA-FUKAS DON'T RESPECT US OR OUR CULTURE AND WANT US SEE US DOWN. BUT WHY WOULD I WANT TO WORK UNDA SOMEBODY WHEN I CAN HAVE MY OWN?

THEN YOU STRESSED, "so in exchange for keeping it real, for the sake of the black race, if you need to be slangless to advance yourself and your people then do so for the time being."

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. THAT BEHUMBLIN' EXPERIENCE HAD ME FEELIN' FAKE AND LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT. PRIDE'S A MUTHA-FUKA. AT THE END I ENDED UP BEIN' FUCCED OVER. SO FUK THAT SHIT. I'D RATHER HAVE MY OWN SO NOBODY CAN TELL ME SHIT.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "what bill is getting at is that blacks arent going anywhere speaking ebonics."

JUST LIKE HIS FAT ALBERT DAYS? THAT NIggA NEED TO CHEK WHERE HIS ROOTS ARE AT. I DON'T EVEN CALL SLANg "EBONICS", LIKE SOMEBODY DECIDED TO LABEL IT ONE DAY. ONE THANg IS TO ACQUIRE ALL FORMS OF KNOWLEDgE(AND THIS INCLUDES KNOWIN' PROPER gRAMMMAR), BUT TO SAY HOW YO PEOPLE TALK IS IgNORANT IS COMPLETELY BLASPHEMOUS. COSBY NEED TO gET OFF HIS HIgH HORSE.

AFRIKA A.K.A TENKAMIN,

YOU STRESSED, "What I find interesting is that a lot of yall agree with what Cosby has to say but some of yall support the same rappers Cosby is bashing. How does that work? Just wondering? And if some of your favorite rappers starting rapping in proper english and left a lot of there dirty lyrics behind would you support it?"

LOL. DON'T DO THEM LIKE THAT MAN.

What I find interesting is that a lot of yall agree with what Cosby has to say but some of yall support the same rappers Cosby is bashing. How does that work? Just wondering? And if some of your favorite rappers starting rapping in proper english and left a lot of there dirty lyrics behind would you support it?

It's really not that complicated. It could be that people are content with the way things are right now, and show signs of approval for what Cosby said in response to those who believe that blacks are still being opressed. Or perhaps someone will acknowledge that blacks are being opressed, and knowing things will not change, they simply agree with these comments because they are true. It's just like smoking ciggerettes. People can tell you they are bad for your health, that they will kill you, and while you will agree and know this is true, you will continue with the same habits. The only thing that would otherwise be "interesting" is if Cosby was listening to the rappers that he is bashing.

A BETTER QUESTION WOULD BE, "HOW MANY DOCTORS HAVE YOU SEEN THAT ARE BLAK, AND OUT OF THOSE, HOW MANY STAY TRUE TO THEY CULTURE AND PEOPLE?" BUT LIKE MISTA SINISTA SAID, A LOT OF US KNOW HOW TO BE BILINgUAL WITH IT, TO WHERE WE KNOW WHEN TO SPEAK WHAT. PERSONALLY, I CAN'T FUK WITH IT.

I have personally seen very few doctors who were black, and out of those, maybe all, some, or none of them were "true" to their culture. How would I be able to tell? I can tell you this much. Speaking "properly" and playing into the white mans game for financial gain and to put food on the table for your family, is not selling out.

^I WOULD AgREE, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN "PLAYIN' THE WHITE MAN'S gAME", DOES A BROTHA FEEL VALIDATED AMONg AND BY HIS COLLEAgUE'S, OR FEEL FAKE FOR SWALLOWIN' HIS PRIDE? JUST CAUSE HE OUT THE HOOD OR OUT THE BULLSHIT, DOES IT MAKE HIM TRULY OUT WHEN HIS OWN PEOPLE STUK?
