Cliff notes?
nope ...you should read it...so you wont be mis-informedCliff notes?
so let me ask you ...since you seem to be one of a few who read it....I just read the speech over again and I really don't see an issue with what he saying.
Did he exaggerate on some things? Yes he did. So much truth in the overall message that its just stupid to get caught on that.

I’ll keep it a 100 when you keep it a 100. Deal?so ....no one wants to keep it 100 about being wrong about what he said?

That’s fair but why not use that same energy to also attack the people that create the system that subjugates black people as well? That’s pretty much been my main argument. Still haven’t gotten an answer to that question, all I’ve gotten was “fuck that let’s focus on tha niggaz1!1”The problem most people that got pissed off about it was that what he said directly applied to their lives. Bill held up a mirror and they didn't like what they saw. Instead of fixing the problems, they decided to take the easy route and admonish Bill for saying it publicly.

was he talking more about parents and parenting?
so in theory since he was saying how parents failed their kids....the kids who didnt or dont have their parents support should be just as angry as cosby is and should be applauding him for call them out.
am i right?

Did he speak on the system that created this mess?Yes he talked about lack of parenting.
Thing is I think actual parenting has gone down as younger and younger folks started having kids. Basically kids having kids. They don't know shit and wasn't taught shit so how can the properly teach and raise their own kid(s) So IMO I don't those kids know their parents actually failed them. Their lack of having parenting and their parent being their friend and not their parent has become for a lot kids their normal so they wouldn't know the difference.
Shit I find funniest what Cosby was talking about is the same shit that we talk about damn near daily on here.
He spoke about people stop thinking just praying is going to fix shit. That I'm just going to do nothing and leave up to Jesus shit ain't working.
He spoke about black people being a self contained group and becoming self sufficient and owning the stores and things in our neighborhoods.
He spoke about men being men and leading the neighborhoods and house holds.
He spoke about black people needing to respect themselves.
He spoke about how people speak. Niggas on here talk all day everyday about mumble rap and how ignorant and uneducated these dudes sound in interviews. Yet got a problem with what Cosby was saying.
He spoke about women having a bunch of kids by different men. We talk about and clown the shit out women like that on here and real life.
He spoke about niggas thinking its cool and nothing to go to prison. Folks on here clown niggas for that shit all day.
Its so much more shit that we talk about on here that Cosby addressed in that speech I just don't see the issue. Maybe the issue really ain't with what or where he said it but how he said it.
I can admit sometimes I don't like how I'm told somethings but what I never do is miss the message of what I was told because of how it was said.
i grew up in the hood a while back.You condone him outright blaming the poor? I can not and it's because I'm not ignorant about the connection between wealth, class, parenthood, and criminality.
A speech is not what the poor need.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are [not*] holding their end in this deal."
He's picking on the most oppressed, adversity ridden folks. The people least capable of changing things bare the brunt of his criticism and that's wack
The same speech that suspects like Rush Limbaugh give Bill a pat on the head for..

what am i not keeping it 100 about?I’ll keep it a 100 when you keep it a 100. Deal?

Rush Limbaugh has leapt to the defense of comedian and actor Bill Cosby, after the recent escalation of rape allegations. Rush Limbaugh, conservative radio host, believes that the media, particularly CNN, has an agenda against Bill Cosby due to comments made last year regarding the role of African-American men and their role in the demise of the African-American communities.Exactly when did Rush give props to Bill Cosby's pound cake speech? Can you give a quote or link?
