Cosby Has MORE Harsh Words for Black Community

[Honeykiss1974]

On Monday, Bill Cosby was a speaker at an event to honoring the Brown vs BOE anniversary. In his speech, he made remarks regarding low income and underclass black american. Here is an excerpt:

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

"They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English," he exclaimed. "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!"

There are some people critizing Bill for these comments as well as his comments regarding blacks that are in prison.

Question:

Do you think Bill is being unfairly critized or was he simply tellign the truth? Or is this a case of people (blacks specifically) being upset because African American person publically criticized "their race"?

What are you thoughts?
