Bill Cosby - NAACP leaders stunned by remarks of prominent comedian
jimmineecricket wrote: "Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT PARENTING. They are buying things for kids - $500 sneakers for what? And won't spend $200 for 'Hooked on Phonics.' He added: "They're standing on the corner and they CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH. I can't even talk the way these people talk: 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is' ... And I blamed the kid until I HEARD THE MOTHER TALK. And then I HEARD THE FATHER TALK ... Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. ... You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!" The Post said Cosby also targeted imprisoned blacks. "These are not political criminals," he said. "These are people going around stealing Coca-Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake and then we run out and we are outraged, [saying] 'The cops shouldn't have shot him.' What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand?" He wont get any arguement here. He told it like it is and the NAACP just doesnt want to hear the truth. Most blacks dont want to hear the truth. They are their own worst enemy. Bob and Byron don't want to hear the *truth* either. Do you suppose they think Cosby is just an *Idiot_Scum_Racist* who is "not worth arguing with" and should be *PLONKED* ?? And while Cosby was at it, he should have condemned OOW_Breeding as well, just to cover all the IQ-75_Bases... |

When Cosby posts to the newsgroup, I'll discuss it with him, and then decide whether he should be *PLONKED*. I daresay his remarks would be far more intelligent than yours. Those comments you question at the beginning of the post, are *Cosby's* not mine. He has donated millions to support DAFNz in college. He has a much better grasp of DAFNhood than you do, Bob. |

Cosby is a comedian. Unless I had the full text of his comments with all the context, and indeed preferably a video, since delivery is part of his humor, I would not interpret his comments any differently than I did. As posted, they were baloney, and because you posted them (regardless of who said them originally), they were racist baloney. Everything you say is racist baloney (even if you were to agree with me this would be the case), because you are a subhuman racist. lojbab -- lojbab Bob LeChevalier, Founder, The Logical Language Group (Opinions are my own; I do not speak for the organization.)

And if you have ever listened to him talk, you would know that he is a very smart, thoughtful person. You do a disservice to him by dismissing him as a comedian. Slainte, Fletch |

I'm sure he is very smart, and can make intelligent comments about education. But the reporting of the gala seems to make it clear that while his comments had bite, the entertainers who were present were performing their trade, and one cannot judge a comment without context as well as sound and video information that would convey whether his remark was serious, or comedically timed. In particular, the snippets that were quoted sound like the sort of thing that he says in his comedy routines, taking real life situations and phrasing them in exaggerated but not wholly inaccurate manner. He had a routine about special education on one of his earliest albums in the 60s which was just that sort of thing that would sound politically incorrect and offensive if spoken at an education conference, but was quite funny on a comedy album. This gala was somewhere in between, probably with elements of both. lojbab -- lojbab Bob LeChevalier, Founder, The Logical Language Group (Opinions are my own; I do not speak for the organization.)

Cite, please I can't even talk the way these people talk: 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is' ... And I blamed the kid until I HEARD THE MOTHER TALK. And then I HEARD THE FATHER TALK ... They speak a different dialect. This has always been a country of multiple dialects, and the dialectal variation was never nearly as extreme as it is in much smaller England. You can't talk the way "these people talk" (not that it had anything to do with "lower economics", which the poster is clearly using as a euphemism for race), but I'll bet you can't talk Cockney or Yorkshire either, and you probably can't understand them half as well as you could understand these folk. No, it is not a dialect. It is a very poor and wrong value system that many black people have. They do not value education and the good things in life. Without a sense of values a person is lost with nothing to build character and his/her life on. They don't know how to act or behave. It's very important that they get this corrected immediately if they ever want to amount to anything. Black people have been in this country for hundreds of years and many do not and/or can not speak English. Hispanics and Asians can speak English pronouncing words like police, President, incident correctly after just a few days. Blacks don't give a damn. They don't understand that they should value education and speaking, walking, sitting, etc., correctly. If they don't value these things, they are doomed. Holger Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. ... On street corners? Why? You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!" A doctor on a street corner is perfectly free to talk any way he likes. He wont get any arguement here. He told it like it is and the NAACP just doesnt want to hear the truth. Most blacks dont want to hear the truth. They are their own worst enemy. Bob and Byron don't want to hear the *truth* either.
