Re: RIGHT ON, BILL!.........
Unfortunatly, because there are few men/women of color who share Bill Cosby's views he'll be labeled an "Uncle Tom" by his community and his successes we'll be viewed as him giving in to Big Whitey... Because we seem to live in a country where doing for yourself and others has given way to complain and blame everyone else for all of our ails... For example, everytime I hit my hand with the hammer yesterday it wasn't my fault. It was the hammer maker's fault. If they'd learn how to make a hammer right I'd never have missed the crowbar and hit my hand (more than once... :o). They need to learn how to balance there hammers better.... I couldn't possible need to learn to improve my aim, as there is no way that could be the problem. See it's far easier to blame someone/something else than to do our part to fix what we can. Since people of color have far more reasons to blame why should they try to fix anything? Though some have and what has become of their efforts?
Alrighty then, that's my moment of philosophical insite for the morning! *;D
