<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->If you missed him on the Oprah Show, here&#39;s a bit of what he said................<br /> <br />&#39;They&#39;re standing on the corner and they can&#39;t speak English. I can&#39;t even talk the way these people talk:<br />Why you ain&#39;t, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be... <br /><br />And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk.<br /><br />Everybody knows it&#39;s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can&#39;t be a doctor <br />with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.<br /><br />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&#39;ve got these knuckleheads walking around. <br /><br />The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.<br /><br />These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. &#036;500 sneakers for what ? ? <br /><br />And they won&#39;t spend &#036;200 for Hooked on Phonics. <br /><br />I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. <br /><br />Where were you when he was 2 ? ? Where were you when he was 12 ? ? <br /><br />Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn&#39;t know that he had a pistol ? ? <br /><br />And where is the father ? ? Or who is his father?<br /><br />People putting their clothes on backward: Isn&#39;t that a sign of something gone wrong?<br /><br />People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn&#39;t that a sign of something ? <br /><br />Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up ? <br /><br />Isn&#39;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?<br /><br />What part of Africa did this come from?? <br /><br />We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don&#39;t know a thing about Africa . <br /><br />With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail. <br /><br />Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person&#39;s problem. <br /><br />We have got to take the neighborhood back.<br /><br />People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different &#39;husbands&#39; -- or men or whatever you call them now. <br /><br />We have millionaire football players who cannot read. <br /><br />We have million-dollar basketball players who can&#39;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.<br /><br />We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.<br /><br />We cannot blame the white people any longer.&#39;<br /><br />Dr. William Henry &#39; Bill &#39; Cosby, Jr, Ed.D.<br /><br />WAY TO GO, BILL &#33;&#33; <br /><br />It&#39;s NOT about color...It&#39;s about behavior&#33;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /> <br />Though this was a good read.<br /><br />You know when you read this you have to agree, but its not just the black kids, there is almost a cult following and peer pressure that seems to attract all race to this life style.
