While I agree with the spirit of what was said, I think that there's this
misconception that Blacks can't or won't speak English. It's called DIALECT.
The simple fact is that there are people from England who can't speak good
English. We tend to focus on too many of the wrong things when it comes to
fixing what's wrong with our communities. We don't spend enough time trying to
fix why black men drop their seed and roll when the woman gets pregnant. And
where's the support for these 2, 12, 18 yr olds to fill in the gap. Instead
it's easier to look the other way and say someone needs to take care of "their"
responsiblity. It's comparable to the problem of US infrastructure falling
apart. We've known about the problem for years, but we'll wait until the
problem costs too much in resources to fix or worse we wait until a bridge
collapses. At least the single mom is working at Walmart, there was a time when
she would be on welfare. Lack of fathers is the primary cause of most of this,
but then noone wants to take time out to teach men without fathers what it
means to be a father. Its easier to just give some speech and "tell" them about
fatherhood. Noone wants to get their hands dirty. Unfortunately, that includes
Dr Cosby.
