Cosby is out of touch, so no need to point out that those are the exceptions, not the rule.
Either-or, if citizens became a nuisance towards those thugs, they are not gonna start shooting at them. For example, when black folks mobilized in Chicago this year, the gang violence dropped. We might be portrayed as animals on MTV, but Cos visions of Ghandi is not that impossible.
by no means am i saying it couldnt happen. i mean i lived thru the 90's in southern cali. so i know what a PEACE TREATY looks like. i saw the people out there marching begging the thug life to stop or at least pause cause it was way out of hand just like the chi is right now.
so its doable. but i dont appreciate how cos tries to make that point. i love cos, no doubt. but sometimes him, the obamas too with their preaching to college grads as if they are hoodies. just to be known as black folks who are telling their black folks they have to do better. we know that. just saying it aint enough. and i'm not saying cos and the obamas have not done anything in the tough areas. they have. but just saying what they say aint going to cut it. especially making HUUUUGE generalizations like that.
