Wanna know how black can get ahead? Beat us whites at our own game. Study hard, Work hard. Sacrifice. Prove you are better professionally rather then trying to one up each other on the streets with ignorant ass go nowhere goals. Be yourself dont be a fucking stereotype.

i hope u are not trying to say God is the reason for all your success because thats not true. There are many blacks who arent religious who are just as or more successful. It just takes common sense and good morals to succeed.

This from a guy who uses Bruce Lee as his avatar. He was raised as a Catholic and Buddhist, but Bruce Lee felt that anything which substituted the ways or beliefs of others in the place of teaching you how to cultivate your own was a step in the wrong direction. For this reason, Lee was opposed to the doctrines or rather the dogmas of organized religion.

"Study hard, Work hard"??? Do you mean still everything and kill everyone.

Why say "beat us whites", you fool? That''s horseshit and is not getting the point. Cosby's point is that EVERYBODY should be working hard to be the best person you can be - regardless of color. This should be obvious.

You assume a lot, Rush Limbaugh. "Bootstraps" argument in invalid and only used by the privileged.

What other Jobs are in the hood? They need liveable wages, not $5.50 at Burger King or slinging drugs on a corner.
