Still racist as hell just doesn't agree with the bling and pimp hoes. Just thinks BET is making him look bad If white people EVER say "WE" WE ARE RACIST. Explain that one to a white male born in the 1980's Tired of hearing the same thing over and over SORRY
But if you think a $1000 pay raise is great, inflation is 3% every year and there giving you an extra $83 pretax a month. It's an insult and just society as a whole really isnt getting ahead bc crap costs more every year. I'm not saying you don't deserve 50k because if your awesome at your job maybe you should be valued more than a $1000 pay raise. If interested I could show you something that might interest you?
Bill Cosby is a light for African Americans, and truly he is an inspiration for everyone, regardless of race. He is about accountability. It's about opening your eyes and seeing what's in front of you. This reaffirms how I fixed my life. I'm white and did poorly in high school and early college because I felt like I was special so I should be given things. Got lost in drugs, got arrested, looked reality in the face and now I'm doing chemical engineering. It's accountability. Don't be a victim.
There was a time when Black people felt they had to do better than the next guy to just be equal... Now he just says the next guy's racist if he don't let him win...
@blacksheepwall79 I am a white nationalist, but even I have to say that I would like to be black in 1955. At least you had the right to self preservation and even if I think many are niggers today, at least in the old school, it was the way it was supposed to be and for white, I do what black needs to do today. I am born white, but if born black, I would be the next Malcolm X. i got the glasses, the charisma, I am thin, but out of luck! I am white!
indeed, i'm all for equality, but black people havee equality now, now blacks just need to stand up and take that success befor some white guy gets it, or an asian guy, or a jewish guy etcetera...
It is high time that we get bac to the standard of moral excellence that we once were striving to achieve. In this day of opportunity, there is virtually no reason that we can't aspire to improve ourselves, our communities, our quality of life.
First of all i dont beileve in this race crap its just an excuse. THeres nothing different about white colored people and dark colored people. Nothing at all. its just an excuse fo anyone touse not just white or black anyone we are all humans not black or white.
@VincentVonDoom47 well yeh thats how it should be but in reality people dont see it like that yet so theres racism in the world. People still make decisions based on race.
@gomarcphil I can repect you appreciating what Mr.cosby has to say , I too came up with parents who had that belief. Yet Bill Cosby is Full Of Shit. He is No Dick gregory. No Harry Belofante; He was invited to be part of the civil rights movement and declined. He has a child WHO is a recovering CRACKHead. He played the Huxtable, not lived it.And he did'nt earn the doctrates title it was bestowed upon him for acting !! Again You didnt march or speak out then ,Sit your ass down somewhere Now !!!!!
FIRST OUR PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN AND EXCEPT THEIR TRUE NATIONALITY ,NOT NEGRO,COLOR,BLACK ,AFRICAN- AMERICAN OR AFRO-AMERICAN AND PEOPLE'S SAY JUST CALL ME AMERICAN ALL FALSEHOOD,WE ARE HEBREW YSRAYLYAHITES ! PROOF DEUTERONOMY 28:32,36,41,47-51,64-65,68 THIS IS SOME OF THE TRUE FACE ABOUT YOUR PAST HISTORY ,THE BIBLE GREATEST HISTORY BOOK ABOUT US AS A NATION OF PEOPLE IT'S NOT A RELIGIOUS BOOK AT ALL,THE MISSING LINK IS IN THEIR ABOUT US THAT'S WHO WE ARE ,THE TRUTH IS COMING OUT AGAIN SHALOM !
@sjwilliams1111 THANK YOU BROTHER I AGREE ,THIS IS OUR TRUE MOVEMENT TO KNOW SELF ,IT BEEN A LONG TIME IN THE WAITING ,BUT IT IS ON NOW TO RISE AS A NATION IN A NATION OF PEOPLES ,WE HAVE VERY SPECIAL HERITAGE AND OUR PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT PEACE TO YOU AGAIN.
CONT) So all what people call black problems havent been becuz of suicidal tendencies of what is perceived to be "black culture" All black problems have been cuz the homicidal tendencies of white supremacy culture toward blacks. There is nothing uniquely immoral about the black race. There was something uniquely immoral done to the black race.
I dont blame all black problems on whites . I blame the only black problem we all share on white supremacy. Cuz if there was no white supremacy then ethnic groups would quit looking at themselves as monlithic groups. There is also no such thing as white/black or any other color culture. There is a white supremacy culture though. What some may view as "black culture" is simply the"social 2nd amendment resistant or lack of resistant response" to the oppressive culture of white supremacy.(CONT)
@Kaldrake I was clearly talking about this country. Do you think Cosby is addressing blacks in other countries too? There is nothing close minded except your feeble attempt at a strawman argument and totally miss the point.
@rashadkijani Protip: Internet isn't contained within a single country, nor is the message. You don't have to be black or American to understand what Cosby is saying. Simply put, there's more to words than what is immediately heard.
@Kaldrake This has nothing to do with whether we are on the internet or not.This video is obviously about how Cosby feels about the state of black americans in the US. Other countries ability to watch doesnt change the context. If you want to take it out of that context fine. What I said is still true. Any country based on white supremacist culture would of course have ethnic problems. That doesnt necessarily mean every country with whites in power is based on white supremacist culture.
@Kaldrake Do uyou assume all blacks are same in the world? Black is not a culture. Do you think all blacks in the world have the same culture. There are some blacks in other countries that dont speak english and could care less what Cosby says. Blacks in US mainly claim christianity in other countries there are blacks who are mainly muslims. What makes you think what Cosby says has some lesson to be learned by all blacks in the world?
@rashadkijani You strike me as a fellow who when placed before a window, sees only glass, not the landscape beyond. There's more to the world that what is immediately perceived, Cosby speaks of building and reinforcing a negative stereotype for one's own people, instead of refuting it. You need not be a black American to understand this and to see how it applies to your own setting, in your own country, in your own culture. (Also, Abrahamic religions are hardly dissimilar enough to change much.)
@Kaldrake Why would there be a negative stereotype towards blacks who dont speak proper english. If that black person didnt grow up in a english speaking country? Do you think a black person in a country that doesnt speak english should be ridiculed for not speaking english?
@rashadkijani Still stuck staring at the glass and not the landscape, eh? That's really too bad. If you cannot grasp what I am saying by this point, you never will. As such, please ask an adult to accompany you next time you visit the internet, okay?
@Kaldrake I already grasp what you were saying and even broke down what you said when you first commented to me. You accusse me of saying all nations with whites in power are the only ones with ethnic problems.I said no such thing. You are relying irrelevant metaphors and name calling in order to sound like you making a significant point and Im just not buying it.
@rashadkijani Even simpler for you: Cosby is teaching us that we cannot expect a solution to social issues to just magically land in our lap. We must analyse the situation, figure out how we are aggravating the issue, and work to relieve tension. If you feel that there is white supremacism, then stop whining and fix it. Run for city council, become a mayoral candidate, climb the political pyramid. Hell, maybe even start a revolution. You don't have to be a black American to follow Cosby's words.
all i here is 'us' and 'them' why cant we all just be human. if you seperate yourself from anyone because of how you or they look, you create opportunities for people to think you are different. everyone wants a good life, everyone wants to be happy, everyone wants good friends and good family. it is only the scum of this world who would hold anyone back.
@minesajd I agree with what you're saying but that applies more to a utopia than to the real world. We have to start out as "us" first, in order to fix the problems in the black community b/c it's more prevalent there than in anywhere else in this country. When that's settled, we can then work to fix the problems among all people, irrespective of race. In short, the reality is that problems exists cross culturally in the US, but more so in the black community, that's why we say it as it is.
@nlytend1 When its put like that ... it makes good sense. i still dont understand how it sounds segregated. Has the US not developed as much as they would have people like me in the UK believe?
@minesajd No way, the US has a long way to go. Don't get me wrong, blacks chill w/ whites and others but when it comes to assigning culture we in the US unfortunately do so by race rather than geographical location (which would have to include all races). Often you'll find Americans, especially blacks, trying so hard to fit a set of descriptions and the stereotype for blacks, regardless of where they are in the country. No other racial group does that, they have diversity amongst themselves.
@nlytend1 truly saddens me, diversity is just a word that we all fall under and in that everyone is different we find we are all the same. except extremists ... they freak me out.
YO MAN DIS BE RESPECTIN' COS DA WITE MAN HAS BEEN HOLDN US BK I BE ALL LIKE DA WHITEIES GIVIN ME HELL COS MY SKIN COLOR YO BUT DEY DNT KNO WAT ITS LIKE TO BE BLCK MAN I BE BLCK N ALL DA WITIES GIVIN ME BAD NAMES N SHIT LIKE I CANT GET JOB AS LAWYA COS I BLACK YA NO COS IF I WOZ WITE ID HAV DAT LOYAWR JOB OR BE A ENGISH TEECHA OR SUMTHIN YE
No they are partly to blame! They have been brainwashed by the Zionist Elite for far too long, dating back generations! Its hard to wake up from that hypnosis but not impossible! Stop playing into the Elites' hands by "perpetuating the stereotype". DONT be fooled, you are and never were the inferior race! The Elite are AFRAID of you! They have separated the black people and brainwashed them to destroy each other!! And right now the majority of the black race are doing exactly what they want!
@superhentendo That is true, but we've never tried to uplift ourselves as a whole. We can't blame the government for everything. If we intend to make a change, we have to start with ourselves. We have to help ourselves.
@ForbesFortune I disagree that weve never tried to uplift ourselves,the sixties were a great time for black liberation we almost had it then they killed all our leaders flooded our communities with dope(cointelpro) and used the womens lib movement to turn our women against us,now we need a new era of awakening but we are so disconnected from our heritage that we care more about the white mans money than we do our community
@superhentendo I don't mean to be sinister, but you just proved my point. We have a need to be lead by someone, when MLK and Malcom X and etc died we just stopped. I'm talking about a black revolution with no leaders, where everyone is involved with a stake in the outcome. I do agree with your last statement though.
@ForbesFortune in the state that we live in today just as the state we were in in those fays there are a lot of our brothers and sisters who are content with current condition of black america and need to be awakened as those back then needed to be,why do you think the 1st tenet of Co-intelpro was to "stop a black messiah from electrifying and uniting the masses" look at how people follow the president its the responsibility of the more conscious of us like yourself to inform the less conscious
@bennybrickster the black president gave us a false sense of accomplishment,we have a black president and nothing else,a jewish backed black president with a white mother who has never adressed the issues facing black americans.but we continue to follow him without question
Oh dear. If I felt anyone commenting had a shred of sense in them I'd probably try and prove them wrong, but alas, I doubt any of you even have a half a brain to comprehend my words with.
@AintSheABeute Well thats quite an ego ya' got there :P ..you even threw in "alas" to class it up a bit, I like (: I'm pretty sure I have half a brain, a quarter at least! Care to bounce your thoughts off it?
@MrBartSampson Well seeing that you didn't insult me, you've already proven to me you're one of the 10% of sane people on youtube. Did you happen to see the many comments about 'the white man holding them back'? If any of those people knew any part of their own history, they'd realize that they had tried to live under their own hands many years ago. They would also know that they failed miserably, and that the one man who did the most for them in history was, in fact, white.
@AintSheABeute It's very rude to begin a conversation with an insult, it sets the wheels in motion for a hostile debate, rather than a friendly discussion(: I did happen to notice a few of those. I also felt the need to reply to one in the hopes of finding out just how it is I hold them down. "Many years ago", I'm not sure how far back I'm suppose to go.. Before the age of American Slavery? Or once the nation accepted them as citizens?
there is a 6 year old in my son's class who walks around saying how "he can't wait to be in a gang" and "can't wait to go to jail" Why is that cool? how could you be proud of teaching your child to behave in this manor? Even if you ARE involved with street life, you SHOULD know how things are and want better for your child. I can't see why you would think that is any sort of life for your CHILD. it's not the kid's fault either. I feel sorry for him.
Right and it was ok for Larry Fishburne in Boyz in the hood to say "we're killing ourselves" then Bill says it, and some poster's on here are mad??? I don't get it. It's the truth. It's really the truth in my neighborhood in my city. There have been more killings than days in 2012 and that is a FACT more than one shooting and killing a DAY so tell me, is he wrong? NO.
@morganne23 don't get your pressure up. Some of these muhfuckers are just in denial or plain dumb. They claim they want to fight against "white oppression"...how? By sitting on their ass complaining? By asking the same people they "hate" to make things better for you? That shit is illogical as hell. Let's keep the inner city fucked up and expect the feds to clean up the environment and when they do just that, say it's racism. That's why today's liberals(marxist) are a fuckin' joke.
Fuck you racist piece of shit. It's the fucking whites who keeps us down motherfucker. Fuck bill cosby is a fucking race traitor, boot licking uncle tom. Fuckign house nigger.
@blackpower4eba Well, let's kill all the Bi/MultiRacials and Blacks lighter than two shades darker than a brown paper bag so we can keep it black, STARTING W/ BRAXTON'S WEAK ASS from the Jamie Foxx Show! Yes, brother, the individual doesn't matter; for u see, brither, it's the fact that he's BLACK that does! It ain't the fact that he's HUMAN, it's the fact that he's BLACK!!! Light-Skinned BW are the White Man now and Light-Skinned BM are "Race Freaks"! Let's face it, NOBODY likes them!
@blackpower4eba Ain't it pathetic, my brother, to see ANY so-called BLACK man who lighter than two shades darker than a brown paper bag to claim BLACK?! THEY AIN'T BLACK! ain't it pathetic to see ANYBODY So-Called BLack whose Non-American to co exist w/ us 'cause WE the original BM, NOT THEM!
@blackpower4eba Considering I'm white and you blame me for your unforutnateness, I'd be honored to hear what I've done wrong and swiftly rectify my indecent actions against you. Please, do tell (:
@blackpower4eba So my skin color directly hinders you from accomplishing anything? My skin color, and keep in mind you have never seen me in person, but just knowing my skin color keeps you from making a good life for yourself? Well that is incredibly idiotic. And I'm more than certain you have no idea what you are talking about. All you have is the regurgitated ranting of bigots and irresponsible racists who would rather blame others than accept responsiblity for their short-comings.
There are a lot of hardworking positive black men out there. We have to start volunteering in the schools so these kids can see positive role models. That's the only way to turn things around.
Bill is telling the truth, that's all I see around me. We need to wake up and some of these people criticizing Bill need to stop being naive and oblivious to the world we live in today. Those same people critcizing are probably the same people who support the coonery that's out today and don't say a word about it. It isn't about acting white, it's about acting like we have some since,we are as smart as other races and we just have to stop entertaining the ignorance,we are better than that
and let's be clear, he's not an old guy talking down to the young generation. He's talking to the grownups, the mothers and fathers, who have failed their children.
People get mad about Bill probably b/c they failed as parents or they themselves are the rotten kids hes talking about. My father used to give me and my bro and sis the same lecture the Dr. Cosby is giving right now. We all came out well adjusted and positive, educated members of the community. People want Bill to keep these issues and topics behind closed doors. Again to @obsidus point - Dr. Cosby is simply saying control the things that you can control before you blame others.
People like to think in a polarized manner. Such as, things are as they are because white people are racist. Or, things are as they are because Blacks hold themselves back. The truth is somewhere in the middle. You can't make others stop hating for no reason, but you can help yourself. Thats the point I think he's trying to make, racism will always exist and that probably can't be helped. But do what you can for yourself, disrespect of self is worse than someone elses disrespect for you.
The worst type of black man is the african american. They call themselves nigger. That exemplifies there level of obtuseness. bill cosby should leave them, cause the whole world see's them for what they are, IGNORANT SLAVES.
@watchMEshyne A lot of us have. You won't ever see us in the media, though. We're not entertaining. However, there is a serious problem with people being recycled through the welfare system. It's getting out of control. It's a cycle of self-destruction.
Co-Sign With Bill! I'm disgusted of blacks and America as an whole is disgraceful, vile and despicable. I wish God could made my skin changes it's color. I wouldn't be so proud to be an black anymore nowadays.
"When a young man says that he want's to go to prison because all his friends are there...something's not right!" That's a hell of a dose of common sense...but today's black people will find a way to call it racist. America...stop listening to what American black people have to say today about anything...they are clearly suffering from a serious mental disorder...it's called "Anything to piss-off whitie." And it's born in the religion of pure hate. Until they change, they should be shunned.
@tom11zz884 He probably has a couple suits. He does seem to practice what he preaches. I haven't heard otherwise if he isn't - and I certainly don't think he isn't practicing what he preaches by not wearing a suit. He doesn't seem to talk nearly as much about external appearance as he does about overall mindset, attitude and life choices.
@tom11zz884 A suit says nothing about your character. It's not about the clothes you wear, but rather who you are as a person, that's what counts. A well dressed piece of shit, is still a piece of shit.
Bill Cosby is speaking the truth for anyone. I am a black guy and I feel black ppl take things for granted cuz they feel everything is equal now and they can just laze around and hope ppl do things for them. That is wrong. We need to get smarter and start helping ourselves to gain better things in the future. Helping others is included in that as well.
@bigweezey yup but it's too late. Many today african americans are a permanent underclass. Pastor Manning said blacks gets jobs in government, bus, truck drivers, train operators, military, but very few in owning a business, entreprenuership. Look at today technology, tablets, apps for iphone, you can pay a bill on your phone, see who is ringing your doorbell on your phone, if they continue to get low skill jobs or dont bother to better themselves, IT"S A WRAP SON!!!!
@Bloodsport1 I get it. I am in computers and it's becoming less fun cuz of the advancements they keep making. I wish there were a way to educate ppl better about things so they can get those better paying jobs.
@bigweezey, all you gotta do is read a book on whatever it is you have an interest in. Even Steve Jobs read books to build Apple, just in the same way Bill Gates did with Microsoft.
turn off the T.V. and close the computer and read a book. not an ebook, but an actually book. be amazed what you'll learn about yourself.
@92680BOYD I should. I need to read more. I am currently on a religion book now. I think I will read over my computer book to learn more about things. I hate ebooks btw.
I completely agree with him BUT it's imperative that attention be payed to the threats and hardships we face at the MACROECONOMIC level in addition to the part we play in our own demise. If institutionalized racism and the constant perpetuation of racial differences continue, there is only so much improving we can do across the Diaspora.
@Mick0722MX Something tells me this eliskyz cat didn't listen to a word Bill said. It's easy to be butt-hurt by something someone says. It's a whole lot harder to look in the mirror and ask yourself what needs to change & how that change can take place.
@eliskyz Hey man, you can't live your whole life pissed off like this. Well, you can, but it's no way to live. I used to be like you - filled with anger. I know YouTube isn't the best place to give advice, but for your own sake, please talk to someone that can help you get rid of all that anger. The only one you're hurting is yourself.

Jones became the municipal symbol of homelessness.
Around the Foothills
|DOUG SMITHBy
what we are told was a happy partnership of providence, charity and good diplomacy, Glendale has been relieved of a prominent civic blight.
For a week now, the crescent-shaped concrete bench beside the illuminated bronze globe on the City Hall lawn has been unoccupied. As anyone who drives by City Hall from time to time knows, a man had been living on that bench for about two years encircled by a growing stable of shopping carts.
The squatter, whose name is Creadel Jones, was relocated, without apparent coercion, through a delicate maneuver involving Mayor Larry Zarian and Lt. Kenneth Hodder of the Salvation Army. When last heard from, Jones was living in an apartment with first and last months' rent paid in advance.
The story is that Zarian was fretting over the effect the man and his carts would have on a Memorial Day ceremony at the bench, which is part of a peace memorial.
So he dispatched a city employee to summon Jones upstairs for a chat. Now Hodder, a Harvard law school graduate who is so consistently cheerful you'd think he never had a bad day, said he had been working on Jones since 1986 to accept help, without success. And just as he dropped by City Hall to give it one more try what did he find but Jones chatting with the mayor.
There is a pointed adage in the news business that says: "News is whatever happens near an editor."
The analogy to the Jones case is illustrated, in a bureaucratically muffled way, by City Manager David H. Ramsay, who commented on the affair: "For a civic center where a great deal of city business is conducted, it wasn't appropriate to have six shopping carts lined up."
It was where Jones lived that made him a greater blight than the dozen or so homeless people who live in equally public squalor on Brand Boulevard where a far greater deal of business is conducted.
By taking up residence right where the city leaders had to confront him every day, Jones became the municipal symbol of homelessness.
That subject is not a popular one in this city. Once, the City Council tried to prohibit the homeless from residing here. They were dissuaded, finally, on the advice of the city attorney that the notion was as defective constitutionally as it was semantically. Zarian and other council members have often said that it's not the city's problem and that a solution should come from the federal government.
There is no indication that Jones intended to mock that view. During his stay, he declined to give interviews to Times reporters. He carried no banner and never attempted to engage others in conversation. He merely sat all day behind his shopping carts, often smoking his pipe, the picture of a meditative man in his own living room.
He made no show of rejecting materialism. Just like those who live in houses, he acquired possessions and occasionally had to expand his means of storage. That was his mistake. Although the specific number has not been codified, it appears that if two shopping carts are acceptable, six are too many.
So, is the moral of the story, "People who don't live in houses should travel light?" That hardly works. The moral, it seems to me, is not yet in, because the story of Creadel Jones is an unfinished opus, not just on the chance that Jones will be homeless again as soon as his rent runs out.
It's also unfinished because Mayor Zarian and Lt. Hodder have yet to try their one-two punch of charity and diplomacy on those other disturbing souls who make their bedrooms on otherwise stylish streets.
Could Zarian next send his intermediary to summon the leathery old woman with the long fingernail and fake polar bear vest who sleeps on a bench at Harvard Street and Brand (uncomfortably near an editor)? Or the tall skinny man who wears a white mask and urinates in the gutter as people walk by. Or the curly haired young woman who assaulted a man the other day when he admonished her for scribbling in crayon on a city bench.
These people repel, frighten, annoy and confuse the casual shoppers and crisply clad business people who move about Brand Boulevard by the thousands each day.
The business community tolerates the homeless, I suspect, because it is not thinkable to take away what little comfort they have gleaned out of pitiless circumstances and no one has a better idea. Hodder says he has approached them also and found them too disconnected to help.
Jones became the municipal symbol of homelessness.

it sounds "all" good...but bill bill BILL let's keep it REAL if i'm not mistaken his son died years ago (from how "THEY" say but we really don't know they say w/e) but do people REALLY know the cause behind that hmmmm is it because Mr. Cosby (as well as other famous "blacks") has join those "secret societies" that believe in "human sacrafices" & you're talking about kids killing kids (yeah that's bad) but not as worse as famous people sacraficing love one =/ i'm just saying smh if that's "true"
@truthblunt No he is being realistic, not wrong, and is more understanding of the average non racist "white" conservative persons perspective than those who now identify by "color" based Liberal agenda politics and "push" non racist white conservatives by preaching to them as Liberal "teachers". Their is no "new" dialog on race in the style of Bill Cosby, just preaching by hack men like Al Sharpton while intercity minority family cohesion and intercity public school results tank.
Dr Claude Anderson explains , the way we speak isn't a problem. Black elitist make it one Every culture speaks his are there own language in there respective communities.In china town they speak Chinese and so on, The problem comes when we have to take what we have learned from our own communities & enter theirs 4 employment.If we controlled our own we would not need to assimilate.He's correct on his generation partying to soon.We need economic equality.P.S Bill U came up B.C.(Before Crack.)
I love MY ppl but he got a point i never had problem with any other RACE of ppl that i can REMEMBER in this life BESIDES the common stare down..BUT IN MY COMMUNITY BLACKS KILL BLACKS / LATINO KILL LATINO...WE ARE ETHER CRAZY OR VERY VERY LOST
Well said Bill...but I'm afraid your message will just fall on deaf ears, as per usual. They're not listening...because they're too busy playing the poor victim.
I hate the title of this video. I like Bill Cosby, his opinions and concerns are valid today. However, the title is a racists magnet and garner stupid and asinine opinions from non blacks that are repetitive and stereotyping. The title is the reason why this video has gotten the views it has. I'm tired of ignorant non blacks coming on videos where African-Americans discuss our issues giving their clueless opinions. GO AWAY FLIES! FIX THE DAMAGE YOU'VE DONE TO THE EARTH BEFORE YOU OFFER ADVICE!
Pretty simple analysis of the plight of Black folks in America Bill. Yeah, we all need to do our best, self actualize, and struggle for a better life,...however those institutions that stand to keep the masses of brown people and poor whites under the heels of a rapacious class of criminals also need to be addressed. Bill, its easy blame and point your finger at the powerless. And its easy rattle off bullcrap Horatio Alger "bootstrap" stories to a crowd.
The medicine that's often best for you usually tastes the worst... A person, or people, will never improve their circumstances by using "victimization" to explain their ills... Only when a person, or people, take OWNERSHIP for who they are can they set out on a path to get where they want to go. "Victimization" puts the power of "self" in the hands of others. "Ownership" put the power of "self" in the hands of self...
I can relate to what he is saying. I came here from Nigeria when I was 19 years old, with a student visa nd one year tuition fees. Worked fulltime and went to school fulltime to study Computer Science. Yes, it was rough but I am glad I did it.
To be honest most blacks born in USA dont know the opportunity that lies at their feet. There are school loans or grants assuming your parents cant help you. It's better to work hard and get a good foundation when you are young.
@uzimodem I seriously doubt you know enough black men to validate that statement. There's a common tendency in America to label blacks as "victim-complexes." Well, I'm black and the hundreds black people I have spoken to, lived with, and seen do not see racism "in every corner."
Remember, people, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Farakhan are not the spokespeople for blacks. In fact, no one is.
@empyreon1e : I have known quite a few blacks. and the ones I know are like Bill Cosby. They says blacks themselves want the govt to take care of them, since that is how they have been taught by libturds. Sorry if the truth hurts.
many times the truth hurts deeply

This has nothing to do with the video
But if you think a $1000 pay raise is great, inflation is 3% every year and there giving you an extra $83 pretax a month. It's an insult and just society as a whole really isnt getting ahead bc crap costs more every year. I'm not saying you don't deserve 50k because if your awesome at your job maybe you should be valued more than a $1000 pay raise. If interested I could show you something that might interest you?

It's about opening your eyes and seeing what's in front of you. This reaffirms how I fixed my life. I'm white and did poorly in high school and early college because I felt like I was special so I should be given things. Got lost in drugs, got arrested, looked reality in the face and now I'm doing chemical engineering. It's accountability. Don't be a victim.

@blacksheepwall79 I am a white nationalist, but even I have to say that I would like to be black in 1955. At least you had the right to self preservation and even if I think many are niggers today, at least in the old school, it was the way it was supposed to be and for white, I do what black needs to do today. I am born white, but if born black, I would be the next Malcolm X. i got the glasses, the charisma, I am thin, but out of luck! I am white!

I dont blame all black problems on whites . I blame the only black problem we all share on white supremacy. Cuz if there was no white supremacy then ethnic groups would quit looking at themselves as monlithic groups. There is also no such thing as white/black or any other color culture. There is a white supremacy culture though. What some may view as "black culture" is simply the"social 2nd amendment resistant or lack of resistant response" to the oppressive culture of white supremacy.(CONT)

@rashadkijani Protip: Internet isn't contained within a single country, nor is the message. You don't have to be black or American to understand what Cosby is saying. Simply put, there's more to words than what is immediately heard.

@Kaldrake This has nothing to do with whether we are on the internet or not.This video is obviously about how Cosby feels about the state of black americans in the US. Other countries ability to watch doesnt change the context. If you want to take it out of that context fine. What I said is still true. Any country based on white supremacist culture would of course have ethnic problems. That doesnt necessarily mean every country with whites in power is based on white supremacist culture.
rashadkijani 2 weeks ago
@Kaldrake Do uyou assume all blacks are same in the world? Black is not a culture. Do you think all blacks in the world have the same culture. There are some blacks in other countries that dont speak english and could care less what Cosby says. Blacks in US mainly claim christianity in other countries there are blacks who are mainly muslims. What makes you think what Cosby says has some lesson to be learned by all blacks in the world?
rashadkijani 2 weeks ago
@rashadkijani You strike me as a fellow who when placed before a window, sees only glass, not the landscape beyond. There's more to the world that what is immediately perceived, Cosby speaks of building and reinforcing a negative stereotype for one's own people, instead of refuting it. You need not be a black American to understand this and to see how it applies to your own setting, in your own country, in your own culture. (Also, Abrahamic religions are hardly dissimilar enough to change much.)

@rashadkijani Even simpler for you: Cosby is teaching us that we cannot expect a solution to social issues to just magically land in our lap. We must analyse the situation, figure out how we are aggravating the issue, and work to relieve tension. If you feel that there is white supremacism, then stop whining and fix it. Run for city council, become a mayoral candidate, climb the political pyramid. Hell, maybe even start a revolution. You don't have to be a black American to follow Cosby's words.

@minesajd I agree with what you're saying but that applies more to a utopia than to the real world. We have to start out as "us" first, in order to fix the problems in the black community b/c it's more prevalent there than in anywhere else in this country. When that's settled, we can then work to fix the problems among all people, irrespective of race. In short, the reality is that problems exists cross culturally in the US, but more so in the black community, that's why we say it as it is.

@minesajd No way, the US has a long way to go. Don't get me wrong, blacks chill w/ whites and others but when it comes to assigning culture we in the US unfortunately do so by race rather than geographical location (which would have to include all races). Often you'll find Americans, especially blacks, trying so hard to fit a set of descriptions and the stereotype for blacks, regardless of where they are in the country. No other racial group does that, they have diversity amongst themselves.

For a week now, the crescent-shaped concrete bench beside the illuminated bronze globe on the City Hall lawn has been unoccupied. As anyone who drives by City Hall from time to time knows, a man had been living on that bench for about two years encircled by a growing stable of shopping carts.

The squatter, whose name is Creadel Jones, was relocated, without apparent coercion, through a delicate maneuver involving Mayor Larry Zarian and Lt. Kenneth Hodder of the Salvation Army. When last heard from, Jones was living in an apartment with first and last months' rent paid in advance.
The story is that Zarian was fretting over the effect the man and his carts would have on a Memorial Day ceremony at the bench, which is part of a peace memorial.

So he dispatched a city employee to summon Jones upstairs for a chat. Now Hodder, a Harvard law school graduate who is so consistently cheerful you'd think he never had a bad day, said he had been working on Jones since 1986 to accept help, without success. And just as he dropped by City Hall to give it one more try what did he find but Jones chatting with the mayor.

"I honestly believe that in situations like this, the Lord has a hand in it," Hodder said.
Jones was apparently much impressed by the audience and congenially accepted the assistance which he had previously turned down.
Everyone is so delighted with that resolution, that I wonder why it's so hard to find the moral of the Creadel Jones story.

There is a pointed adage in the news business that says: "News is whatever happens near an editor."
The analogy to the Jones case is illustrated, in a bureaucratically muffled way, by City Manager David H. Ramsay, who commented on the affair: "For a civic center where a great deal of city business is conducted, it wasn't appropriate to have six shopping carts lined up."

It was where Jones lived that made him a greater blight than the dozen or so homeless people who live in equally public squalor on Brand Boulevard where a far greater deal of business is conducted.
By taking up residence right where the city leaders had to confront him every day, Jones became the municipal symbol of homelessness.

That subject is not a popular one in this city. Once, the City Council tried to prohibit the homeless from residing here. They were dissuaded, finally, on the advice of the city attorney that the notion was as defective constitutionally as it was semantically. Zarian and other council members have often said that it's not the city's problem and that a solution should come from the federal government.

There is no indication that Jones intended to mock that view. During his stay, he declined to give interviews to Times reporters. He carried no banner and never attempted to engage others in conversation. He merely sat all day behind his shopping carts, often smoking his pipe, the picture of a meditative man in his own living room.

He made no show of rejecting materialism. Just like those who live in houses, he acquired possessions and occasionally had to expand his means of storage. That was his mistake. Although the specific number has not been codified, it appears that if two shopping carts are acceptable, six are too many.

So, is the moral of the story, "People who don't live in houses should travel light?" That hardly works. The moral, it seems to me, is not yet in, because the story of Creadel Jones is an unfinished opus, not just on the chance that Jones will be homeless again as soon as his rent runs out.
It's also unfinished because Mayor Zarian and Lt. Hodder have yet to try their one-two punch of charity and diplomacy on those other disturbing souls who make their bedrooms on otherwise stylish streets.

Could Zarian next send his intermediary to summon the leathery old woman with the long fingernail and fake polar bear vest who sleeps on a bench at Harvard Street and Brand (uncomfortably near an editor)? Or the tall skinny man who wears a white mask and urinates in the gutter as people walk by. Or the curly haired young woman who assaulted a man the other day when he admonished her for scribbling in crayon on a city bench.

These people repel, frighten, annoy and confuse the casual shoppers and crisply clad business people who move about Brand Boulevard by the thousands each day.
The business community tolerates the homeless, I suspect, because it is not thinkable to take away what little comfort they have gleaned out of pitiless circumstances and no one has a better idea. Hodder says he has approached them also and found them too disconnected to help.

So perhaps the mayor could persuade them, one by one, to accept a roof and two months' rent.
Or is the moral of the story really that a homeless person must live at City Hall to know the beneficence of the city's good housekeeping?

For a week now, the crescent-shaped concrete bench beside the illuminated bronze globe on the City Hall lawn has been unoccupied. As anyone who drives by City Hall from time to time knows, a man had been living on that bench for about two years encircled by a growing stable of shopping carts.

@truthblunt No he is being realistic, not wrong, and is more understanding of the average non racist "white" conservative persons perspective than those who now identify by "color" based Liberal agenda politics and "push" non racist white conservatives by preaching to them as Liberal "teachers". Their is no "new" dialog on race in the style of Bill Cosby, just preaching by hack men like Al Sharpton while intercity minority family cohesion and intercity public school results tank.

I hate the title of this video. I like Bill Cosby, his opinions and concerns are valid today. However, the title is a racists magnet and garner stupid and asinine opinions from non blacks that are repetitive and stereotyping. The title is the reason why this video has gotten the views it has. I'm tired of ignorant non blacks coming on videos where African-Americans discuss our issues giving their clueless opinions. GO AWAY FLIES! FIX THE DAMAGE YOU'VE DONE TO THE EARTH BEFORE YOU OFFER ADVICE!

Pretty simple analysis of the plight of Black folks in America Bill. Yeah, we all need to do our best, self actualize, and struggle for a better life,...however those institutions that stand to keep the masses of brown people and poor whites under the heels of a rapacious class of criminals also need to be addressed. Bill, its easy blame and point your finger at the powerless. And its easy rattle off bullcrap Horatio Alger "bootstrap" stories to a crowd.

The medicine that's often best for you usually tastes the worst... A person, or people, will never improve their circumstances by using "victimization" to explain their ills... Only when a person, or people, take OWNERSHIP for who they are can they set out on a path to get where they want to go. "Victimization" puts the power of "self" in the hands of others. "Ownership" put the power of "self" in the hands of self...

I can relate to what he is saying. I came here from Nigeria when I was 19 years old, with a student visa nd one year tuition fees. Worked fulltime and went to school fulltime to study Computer Science. Yes, it was rough but I am glad I did it.
To be honest most blacks born in USA dont know the opportunity that lies at their feet. There are school loans or grants assuming your parents cant help you. It's better to work hard and get a good foundation when you are young.
It's never too late.

@uzimodem I seriously doubt you know enough black men to validate that statement. There's a common tendency in America to label blacks as "victim-complexes." Well, I'm black and the hundreds black people I have spoken to, lived with, and seen do not see racism "in every corner."
Remember, people, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Farakhan are not the spokespeople for blacks. In fact, no one is.
