A letter to Mr. Cosby

PLEASE BEAR WITH ME I'M PLAYING DEVIL'S ADVOCATE ON THIS SUBJECT. MY OPINION ON IT IS SWAYED BOTH WAYS. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HEAR THE OPINION OF OTHERS ON HOW TO HELP THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THANK YOU how far have we really gone from the days of our "fathers" when the college experience was almost non-existent? as I prepare for college (FAMU), others do not. Friends have chosen that college is not for them, which is fine, while others head off the the army/navy, workforce, "the streets", or stay at home. what bothers me is the people I know who don't even attempt to go to college because it's "too hard" , they can't pay for it , it's a waste of time, or they seriously did not even think about college as an option. I thought about bill cosby's speech months ago where he bashed low income, poverty stricken black americans. Everything he said was validated, i see it everyday. 7 year old kids with $300 outfits on but still read at below grade level. The strong slang we use all time, music videos and so on. But cosby forgot to look in the mirror that morning of that speech. I ask him" what the hell are you doing to help? it's easy to pick on the little guys as you look down upon them. go after the guys your own size, coward. just because you played an educated man on t.v doesn't make you one. you gained riches but you lost in the game of life by picking on the little guy. change begins within. that says nothing about you, beacuse you have nothing inside but cruel juice (my nephew always says that)listen up everyone: You are a waste of society if you, by the grace of god, become successful in the world yet you decide to throw away the key to success in the sea of despair and do not answer the door you closed behind you when opprotunity came knocking. My momma taught me that.. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME I'M PLAYING DEVIL'S ADVOCATE ON THIS SUBJECT. MY OPINION ON IT IS SWAYED BOTH WAYS. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HEAR THE OPINION OF OTHERS ON HOW TO HELP THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THANK YOU

you missed the point, time is money, he should spend time in those neighborhoods he talks so bad about. send money? anyone could do that. the point is to bring the upper class black community (celebs, athletes, politicians) together to solve the problem instead just being a ****. I'm not refering to us blacks going to colleges like morehouse and spellman(obviously if you made it there you got some kind of sense)i'm talking about young teens/ young adults in the ghetto in poverty stricken **** areas who seem to have to no way out. thanks for the reply
