Who is perfectly moral Eric?

I would dispute Mr Cosby's indiscretions invalidate his personal results, especially in a community that sports what, a 70% illegitimacy rate(since social welfare was instituted).

And, if you changed your commentary just a bit, it would be in line with Cosby's continuing criticism of his racial community: get an education(parents do your job & make 'em), work, save, employ personal sacrifice(not unlike the Koreans or whichever ethnic community(whom usually arrived later) you're forced to do business with in your neighborhoods) and quit taking handouts(with all those strings attached), and you too will have an opportunity to get ahead in life. Not unlike Mr Cosby did huh?

I mean, presumably Mr Cosby was behind the eight ball by virtue of being black, no? And yet his personal methodology worked pretty good? At least monetarily huh? Which is really the gist of Mr Obama's line of thought too, right.

Pat and Mr Cosby are right, blacks need to change their culture outlook and expectations if they are to have a chance of changing their individual or collective circumstances.

Up with Black Capitalism!

peaceably

ps not specific to any race, BUT, there are people, EVERYWHERE, and lots of 'em, who glory in their ignorance and servitude, WHO, do not wish to improve their circumstances unless it is handed to them, AND, if you try to help them(on average) they will turn on you like a rabid dog and bite the hand that was attempting to HELP THEM while shouting indignantly that you're just an uppity so & so(who do you think you are?!) All to often people choose to continue in their circumstances despite the billions this nation has largely wasted on social safety nets and rehabilitation programs. And furthermore -on the whole- the war on poverty(yet another fearmongering war) has been an abysmal failure and more important, a disservice to the first, second, third, and fourth generations of "recipients" that were suppose to escape poverty(rather than developing into a bureaucratic growth industry).
