ktsnake, are you sure you're not a closet Liberal?  Seriously - this is probably one of the better responses I've seen to this whole issue about "their" issues versus "our" issues. If you're human, it's your concern. If you're a citizen of the world (or even a Citizen of the United States), you should be concerned that there are more African American men in prison than in University -- no matter what your skin color/race. I should be just as concerned about the poor whites in Appalachia as I am about the poor blacks in public housing projects.

I don't know. Depends on your definition of liberal. I don't think liberal always means that you value common sense and empathy. I don't think either side of the aisle has a monopoly on that.
Thanks for your explanations of those concepts by the way. They are pretty worthy concepts, however, they just don't seem right. Perhaps because they don't fit too well with my preconceived notions. Interesting concepts nonetheless.
Cosby is giving a pep talk to folks that need to wake up. I don't think it's just blacks he's speaking to either. I think he's speaking about what America's culture has become over the last few decades. If someone disagrees with his speach, I'd like to ask them, which part, exactly, do they have a problem with?
