Bill Cosby

Quotes from here

"You've got to stop beating up your women because you can't find a job, because you didn't want to get an education and now you're (earning) minimum wage," Cosby said. "You should have thought more of yourself when you were in high school, when you had an opportunity."


Wow! "The Coz" once again upsets the black victimhood apple cart. And this time even Jesse Jackson agrees:

"Bill is saying let's fight the right fight, let's level the playing field," Jackson said. "Drunk people can't do that. Illiterate people can't do that."


If this had been the message for the last 40 years, instead of well-meaning but ineffective "Great Society" welfare programs, there might have been some improvement in the situation of the black community. Let's hope this is not the last we hear of such harshly-worded but motivational rhetoric.
