Bill Cosby is one cool guy. Finally, a black guy willing to tell black people to take responsibility for their own damn selves instead of clinging on to the whole slave thing.

I don’t know about the rest of you but I’ve never owned a slave and so I could give a crap about it. I do not feel bad for black people because of the slave trade because I do not know any blacks that are slaves or were slaves earlier in their life. While many other races have overcome discrimination by working hard, many blacks cling to government help, sympathy, and reverse-racism. Reverse-racism — as in being chosen because of your ethnic background in order to meet a quota.

Back to Bill Cosby. The man despises the way that many blacks speak – guttural Ebonics if you ask me. He hates the way the blacks buy $500 sneakers (rather than $200 for Hooked on Phonics). He hates the way blacks are named — what the hell is up with a name like Shaniqua? (I find it interesting that Shaniqua is a misspelling according to my spell check.

It is definitely worth reading the full transcript of Bill Cosby’s speech if this makes you smile as much as it has made me smile.
