Bill Cosby gave a speech excoriating poor blacks for not living up to the promise of the civil rights movement. What's yall thoughts on it
What are yall thoughts on Bill Cosby's Pound cake speech??
- Thread starter Trials&Tribulations91
- Start date
An example of a black icon trying to scapegoat and tap dance from future charges (old nikka should've keep his damn pants up 
), promote respectability politics, and just be a straight up c00n all at once. My respect for Cosby went down greatly after this incident. Don't need to hear it ever again.

That's where I'm at with it.
This when I said fuxk that old clown.
It's a speech he gave in 2004, I was a senior in high school at the time, 20 years ago. Has the state of the Black communities improved, are we better off now than we were 20 years ago, how is our performance in schools, are our children serious about getting an education. What are our average SAT scores, what are the English and Math scores of Black children in elementary and high school standardized tests. Are Black people still held hostage in their communities by criminals that have an expectation of us protecting them by not cooperating with law enforcement.
We can call his message "c00ning" or whatever else, but couch his 20 year message in a context; Are any of the concerns he's speaking to still plaguing us today, if so, why is that.

The fact that it, like the "nikkas vs black people" bit get quoted by racist white people is telling.

He said have accountability. never understood why people get so angry about this speech.
I agreed.
People in 2024 still saying it was "harsh".
That's the problem, y'all don't want to be judged.
Or held accountable.
Tough shyt.
No more assauging your feelings.
Being soft is why we're at where we're at.
Y'all said he was wrong.
But in 20 years, y'all haven't done nothing to prove him wrong.

Black America needs tough love. I'm sorry. I need it. You need it. We all need it to get better.

Don't know why the Tiktok videos won't embed.
Outlook is bleak for a segment of us.
THE PROBLEM IS SOME PEOPLE ARE STUCK ON "WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE REASON WE ARE LIKE THIS". THEY WILL SAY WHITE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT. THINGS WILL NEVER GET FIXED WAITING FOR WHITE PEOPLE.
