Bill Cosby was right
Tuesday, May 25th, 2004 | Race
During a speech at Constitution Hall on the anniversary of the Brown v. Board of education ruling, Bill Cosby spoke out against behavior in the black community that is continuing to hold us back. He railed on parents who buy their kids expensive sneakers but don’t invest in educational tools, and talked about the importance of developing good communication skills.
Thomas Sowell’s recent article addresses the differences between Cosby and black “leadership” like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton:
- Bill Cosby and the black “leadership” represent two long-standing differences about how to deal with the problems of the black community. The “leaders” are concerned with protecting the image of blacks, while Cosby is trying to protect the future of blacks, especially those of the younger generation.
Although he made some sweeping generalizations, I think Bill is right. It’s time that someone with influence in the black community has spoken out against blacks who aren’t accepting any responsibilty for making changes to their lives, content to blame anyone or anything else for the state their lives are in.
