His naysayers are so full of shit (the last few paragraphs on the page).
Just look at the Asian minority in the US and all they state is clearly disproved and all he states is completely accurate.
They are now the majority in Ivy League schools and have a higher level of income than the majority of average and they do it with hard work and great parenting.
It is clearly and singularly cultural.
Just like those in the majority who are not parented properly and do not take advantage of their education.
Race is myth.
Bill was right on target. The truth hurts.
Black people never got the chance to stick together.
They got the same chance that Asians, Italians, Irish and many others have... some took it, some did not. Some became the top tier of society, per capita (Asians) by CHOICE alone DESPITE what they had to deal with socially and others DECIDED not to (many Irish and Scotts became hillbillies and other sects adopted similar fatalistic, separatist, tactics) intentionally.
EVERYONE has something they have to overcome in some way, NO ONE has the right to use it to state that it gives them the right not to do all they can to excel.
Everything one does as an individual is a choice.
Booker T Washington used to advocate that, then he saw the light as to the pervasive effects of discrimination on Blacks as a whole.
And as far as Cosby is concerned, a Russian killed his son. So what excuse does he have for taking out on us? It's like blaming Iraq for 9/11, instead of a few Saudi suicide bombers...oh wait.
The answer is: What does J-Lo have, Alex?
That makes no sense.
From the wikipedia:
Cosby was murdered by Mikhail Markhasev on January 16, 1997, in Los Angeles, California. He was 27 years old.
So as far as I'm concerned, Cosby is taking out on Black people because a Russian killed his son. He has understandably been unfunny ever since. So I can blame a While person for Cosby losing his smile.
Cosby is taking out on Black people because a Russian killed his son.
On what planet does this make any sense? Wouldn't he be taking it out on... stay with me here...
Russians?

Looks like the difference is cream. :yum:
Black Russian
3/4 oz coffee liqueur
1 1/2 oz vodka
Pour ingredients over ice cubes in an old-fashioned glass and serve.
White Russian
2 oz vodka
1 oz coffee liqueur
light cream
Pour vodka and coffee liqueur over ice cubes in an old-fashioned glass. Fill with light cream and serve.
Clod, this is just a Red Herring.
Well done for getting the Black Russian right Pie - too many recipes mix it with coke.
Sigh No No No No!
Cosby's son was killed by someone Russian, and yet Cosby the father is taking out on Black people as if a Black person killed his son. Wonder why the naysayers are pissed off? That's why.
...Yeah, because it would totally be more appropriate for him to misplace his blame on all Russian people, instead of having legitimate and completely unrelated complaints about some aspects of African American culture. If only he were unfairly mad at the Russians, then it would all make sense.
As it is, he should never get mad at anyone else, ever. For anything. Because, you know, they weren't the ones who killed his son.
