cosign...I didn't like the way Cosby went about delivering his message at first, but I've grown to approval of it.
I don't think Cosby's "issues" apply to most of us. So I really wouldn't say that's a downfall, but that's just me.

To add in or alter or whatever...It's ALOT of real smart kids here. They just don't have the motivation though. They don't try, they don't see why it matters because they haven't been shown the big picture by the right person.

See that's the problem. We think that most Blacks are living in the hood and that we aren't excelling. And even Blacks in the"hood" are doing good for their means. Every race has a portion that are the "bad seeds". And people also need to get it out of their heads that only "us" in the hood aren't living right morally and financially all the time. But don't let media make you think that's what we are all about. We have the same notion that Dr. Cosby has and what people fail to realize is that Dr. Cosby spoke from personal opinion not from fact or a study he did.
When we as a race stop thinking negatively about our own people, we can excell even greater as a people. They're are suburban parents buying their children Benz's and their child is smoking pot and taking "X".
