"They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can?t even talk the way these people talk: Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be? And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it?s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can?t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.
People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around. The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what? And they won?t spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol? And where is the father? Or who is his father?
People putting their clothes on backward: Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong? People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something? Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up? Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?
What part of Africa did this come from? We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don?t know a thing about Africa. With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.
Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person?s problem. We have got to take the neighborhood back. People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' - or men or whatever you call them now. We have millionaire football players who cannot read. We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We as black folks have to do a better job. Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us. We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any longer."

Right. And I'm sure you'd hire (white) Uncle Elroy as your doctor if he spoke, "Hooboy yall, yeehaw! Dem der caner aint gunna stippidity hootnanny blah blah blah!"
I mean, only black people who can't be arsed to speak proper English get a free pass... duh, stupid me for thinking otherwise!All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

I agree with Cosby. I've been reading Alex Haley's Roots, which is a story about an African captured and brought to work as a slave in America. In those days black slaves were fighting to be free men and to have an education and make something of themselves.
It seems like modern hip-hop culture is spitting on the efforts of those who fought for their freedoms and basic dignity. Kunta and Malcolm would not be proud. IMHO things like community schools and historically black colleges were good because they gave people a sense of history and pride. Without it you see the rebel-without-a-cause syndrome of today.When all that says 'it is good' has been debunked, what says 'I want' remains.

Well, maybe you could explain yourself?
I think any person who butchers the language or dresses inappropriately is going nowhere in life. Certainly it's going to keep them out of the running for many occupations - and I don't care if it's a black or white person. It is what it is.
You seem to think they're entitled to "their own dialect". Sure, they can talk as they like, but do you think they should not bear the consequences of what they do or do you think it's fine they speak poorly and get nowhere for it?All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

No, I respect him because he's not just following the herd and blaming white people for all of the "injustices" against black people in the world today. It all stems from your upbringing and somewhere along the line, a generation of blacks considered it acceptable to speak ebonics and complain when white men (who traditionally make up the majority of the business world) wouldn't hire them because you just can't respect somebody who doesn't speak proper English.
And it's not a black or white thing...if I walked into a job interview in my $2000 suit, a $300 shirt with $200 cufflinks and $500 shoes but talked like I was a retarded gang-banger, I would be escorted from the building regardless of my appearance and resume.
I love that statement by him...it's dead on.PSN - iarentdrunk

Why wouldn't I know? Because I'm white? There goes your credibility...as if it wasn't already destroyed by your lack of punctuation.
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton...two of the most prominent members of the black community, both of whom are on a blind anti-white crusade. Case in point, the Duke lacrosse rape allegations.PSN - iarentdrunk

People, I would suggest to ignore Heeey.
He's seems to like to instigate a lot. I've seen several times where someone simply speaks their opinion, as in this thread, and he will make some nasty inferance over it.
Like here, if someone agrees with Coz - he'll immediately jump to that person being a racist, not knowing any black people personally, etc...
... to me it looks like a troll tactic, slightly more subtle than some of what we get here, but a troller nonetheless.
Me, I'm no longer going to feed him.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

like in the thread about Turks in Germany. I said I want to preserve German culture, and he says that's racist. How is it racist? I simply want Germany culture to remain the way it is and keep developing in a normal way, and not be destroyed. I don't care who does it, it just so happens that Turks are doing it.

He did the same thing to me in another thread. I basically said that if you go to War you go to win or you don't go at all, and mentioned you listen to your Generals and not the politicians and lock out the press.
He then went on to say I advocated genocide and all kinds of other nonsense.
Everyone, please report him. Looks like in this thread he's breaking rules left and right, anyway.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
