I honestly feel that upper class blacks should distance themselves...it would be good for black folks as a whole.
Maybe not distance themselves...but have a standard of conduct.
We need to see oursevles as leaders and people running shyt...were too happy w/ the hood mentality and asking white people to respect us.
Thats all I really got out of Cosby's speech...we need to take control of our lives...we are too happy w/ bullshyt...we have no control because we arent focused on it.
So personally...I like when there is a cat like Cosby out there not scared of the backlash from his own people.
I don't think any black person has a problem with a standard of conduct,problem with many black elitist is that they base their standards on what whites deem acceptable,and our ashamed of our cultural differences that are harmless,UNLESS you view these differents in a judgemental,and ignorant fashion like cacs do....As a black man I feel like he should know better and have a better understanding of simple generational differences....He would understand why there are differences between "back in his day" and the current state of black people....And being that white people and the government played a big part in that,I can never appreciate the fact he can so easily place blame on blacks...while releasing whites and the government from responsibility,especially being that I don't know of him being vocal in previous eras against the white supremacy and injustice when he could have,and had a huge platform.
If distancing or this standard of conduct involves excusing police for brutality and execution of black people with impunity,like Cosby did....Then yes your right distance should be created,poor blacks should distance themselves from the c00ns immediately....What does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his soul?Oh you can gain white acceptance?Sign me up

...Its the fear of backlash I think Cosby has from other people that makes me question him.
but I can appreciate a cat LIKE Cosby,just NOT Cosby....just like you shouldn't appreciate every militant who goes in on cacs and relieves black people of all blame
