Ladies and gentlemen, I really have to ask you to seriously consider what you’ve heard, and now this is the end of the evening so to speak. I heard a prize fight manager say to his fellow who was losing badly, “David, listen to me. It’s not what’s he’s doing to you. It’s what you’re not doing. (laughter).

Ladies and gentlemen, these people set, they opened the doors, they gave us the right, and today, ladies and gentlemen, in our cities and public schools we have fifty percent drop out. In our own neighborhood, we have men in prison. No longer is a person embarrassed because they’re pregnant without a husband. (clapping) No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child (clapping)

.

Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are holding their end in this deal. In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. (clapping) In the old days, you couldn’t hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye (laughing). And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had one and where you got it from. Parents don’t know that today.

I’m talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? (clapping) Where were you when he was twelve? (clapping) Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don’t know he had a pistol? (clapping) And where is his father, and why don’t you know where he is? And why doesn’t the father show up to talk to this boy?


The church is only open on Sunday. And you can’t keep asking Jesus to ask doing things for you (clapping). You can’t keep asking that ? will find a way. ? is tired of you (clapping and laughing). ? was there when they won all those cases. 50 in a row. That’s where ? was because these people were doing something. And ? said, “I’m going to find a way.” I wasn’t there when ? said it… I’m making this up (laughter). But it sounds like what ? would do (laughter).

    We cannot blame white people. White people (clapping) .. white people don’t live over there. They close up the shop early. The Korean ones still don’t know us as well…they stay open 24 hours (laughter).

    I’m looking and I see a man named Kenneth Clark. He and his wife Mamie…Kenneth’s still alive. I have to apologize to him for these people because Kenneth said it straight. He said you have to strengthen yourselves…and we’ve got to have that black doll. And everybody said it. Julian Bond said it. ? Gregory said it. All these lawyers said it. And you wouldn’t know that anybody had done a damned thing.



    50 percent drop out rate, I’m telling you, and people in jail, and women having children by five, six different men. Under what excuse, I want somebody to love me, and as soon as you have it, you forget to parent. Grandmother, mother, and great grandmother in the same room, raising children, and the child knows nothing about love or respect of any one of the three of them (clapping). All this child knows is “gimme, gimme, gimme.” These people want to buy the friendship of a child….and the child couldn’t care less. Those of us sitting out here who have gone on to some college or whatever we’ve done, we still fear our parents (clapping and laughter). And these people are not parenting. They’re buying things for the kid. $500 sneakers, for what? They won’t buy or spend $250 on Hooked on Phonics. (clapping)

    A\Kenneth Clark, somewhere in his home in upstate New York…just looking ahead. Thank ? , he doesn’t know what’s going on, thank ? . But these people, the ones up here in the balcony fought so hard. Looking at the incarcerated, these are not political criminals. These are people going around stealing Coca Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! Then we all run out and are outraged, “The cops shouldn’t have shot him” What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand? (laughter and clapping). I wanted a piece of pound cake just as bad as anybody else (laughter) And I looked at it and I had no money. And something called parenting said if get caught with it you’re going to embarrass your mother. Not you’re going to get your butt kicked. No. You’re going to embarrass your mother. You’re going to embarrass your family.

    If knock that girl up, you’re going to have to run away because it’s going to be too embarrassing for your family. In the old days, a girl getting pregnant had to go down South, and then her mother would go down to get her. But the mother had the baby. I said the mother had the baby. The girl didn’t have a baby. The mother had the baby in two weeks. (laughter) We are not parenting. Ladies and gentlemen, listen to these people, they are showing you what’s wrong. People putting their clothes on backwards. –isn’t that a sign of something going on wrong? (laughter)



    Are you not paying attention, people with their hat on backwards, pants down around the ? . Isn’t that a sign of something, or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up (laughter and clapping ). Isn’t it a sign of something when she’s got her dress all the way up to the ? …and got all kinds of needles and things going through her body. What part of Africa did this come from? (laughter). We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans, they don’t know a damned thing about Africa. With names like Shaniqua, Shaligua, Mohammed and all that ? and all of them are in jail. (When we give these kinds names to our children, we give them the strength and inspiration in the meaning of those names. What’s the point of giving them strong names if there is not parenting and values backing it up).

    Brown Versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person’s problem. We’ve got to take the neighborhood back (clapping). We’ve got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It’s right around the corner. (laughter) It’s standing on the corner. It can’t speak English. It doesn’t want to speak English. I can’t even talk the way these people talk. “Why you ain’t where you is go, ra,” I don’t know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk (laughter). Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can’t land a plane with “why you ain’t…” You can’t be a doctor with that kind of ? coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they’re moving ahead on this. Well, they know they’re not, they’re just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you’re just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out.

    Now look, I’m telling you. It’s not what they’re doing to us. It’s what we’re not doing. 50 percent drop out. Look, we’re raising our own ingrown immigrants. These people are fighting hard to be ignorant. There’s no English being spoken, and they’re walking and they’re angry. Oh ? , they’re angry and they have pistols and they shoot and they do stupid things. And after they ? somebody, they don’t have a plan. Just murder somebody. Boom. Over what? A pizza? And then run to the poor cousin’s house. They sit there and the cousin says “what are you doing here?” “I just killed somebody, man.” “What?” “I just killed somebody, I’ve got to stay here.” “No, you don’t.” “Well, give me some money, I’ll go…” “Where are you going?” “North Carolina.” Everybody wanted to go to North Carolina. But the police know where you’re going because your cousin has a record.

    Five or six different children, same woman, eight, ten different husbands or whatever, pretty soon you’re going to have to have DNA cards so you can tell who you’re making love to. You don’t who this is. It might be your grandmother. (laughter) I’m telling you, they’re young enough. Hey, you have a baby when you’re twelve. Your baby turns thirteen and has a baby, how old are you? Huh? Grandmother. By the time you’re twelve, you could have sex with your grandmother, you keep those numbers coming. I’m just predicting.

    I’m saying Brown Vs. Board of Education. We’ve got to hit the streets, ladies and gentlemen. I’m winding up, now , no more applause. I’m saying, look at the Black Muslims. There are Black Muslims standing on the street corners and they say so forth and so on, and we’rere laughing at them because they have bean pies and all that, but you don’t read “Black Muslim gunned down while chastising drug dealer.” You don’t read that. They don’t shoot down Black Muslims. You understand me. Muslims tell you to get out of the neighborhood. When you want to clear your neighborhood out, first thing you do is go get the Black Muslims, bean pies and all (laughter). And your neighborhood is then clear. The police can’t do it .

    I’m telling you Christians, what’s wrong with you? Why can’t you hit the streets? Why can’t you clean it out yourselves? It’s our time now, ladies and gentlemen. It is our time (clapping). And I’ve got good news for you. It’s not about money. It’s about you doing something ordinarily that we do—get in somebody else’s business. It’s time for you to not accept the language that these people are speaking, which will take them nowhere. What the hell good is Brown V. Board of Education if nobody wants it?

    What is it with young girls getting after some girl who wants to still remain a ? . Who are these sick black people and where did they come from and why haven’t they been parented to shut up? To go up to girls and try to get a club where “you are nobody..,” this is a sickness ladies and gentlemen and we are not paying attention to these children. These are children. They don’t know anything. They don’t have anything. They’re homeless people. All they know how to do is beg. And you give it to them, trying to win their friendship. And what are they good for? And then they stand there in an orange suit and you drop to your knees, “(crying sound) He didn’t do anything, he didn’t do anything.” Yes, he did do it. And you need to have an orange suit on too (laughter, clapping).

    So, ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you for the award (big laughter) and giving me an opportunity to speak because, I mean, this is the future, and all of these people who lined up and done..they’ve got to be wondering what the hell happened. Brown V. Board of Education, these people who marched and were hit in the face with rocks and punched in the face to get an education and we got these knuckleheads walking around who don’t want to learn English (clapping) I know that you all know it. I just want to get you as angry that you ought to be. When you walk around the neighborhood and you see this stuff, that stuff’s not funny. These people are not funny anymore. And that ‘s not brother. And that’s not my sister. They’re faking and they’re dragging me way down because the state, the city and all these people have to pick up the tab on them because they don’t want to accept that they have to study to get an education.



    We have to begin to build in the neighborhood, have restaurants, have cleaners, have pharmacies, have real estate, have medical buildings instead of trying to rob them all. And so, ladies and gentlemen, please, Dorothy Height, where ever she’s sitting, she didn’t do all that stuff so that she could hear somebody say “I can’t stand algebra, I can’t stand…and “what you is.” It’s horrible.

    Basketball players, multimillionaires can’t write a paragraph. Football players, multimillionaires, can’t read. Yes. Multimillionaires. Well, Brown V Board of Education, where are we today? It’s there. They paved the way. What did we do with it. The white man, he’s laughing, got to be laughing. 50 percent drop out, rest of them in prison.

    You got to tell me that if there was parenting, help me, if there was parenting, he wouldn’t have picked up the Coca Cola bottle and walked out with it to get shot in the back of the head. He wouldn’t have. Not if he loved his parents. And not if they were parenting! Not if the father would come home. Not if the boy hadn’t dropped the sperm cell inside of the girl and the girl had said, “No, you have to come back here and be the father of this child.” Not ..“I don’t have to.”



    Therefore, you have the pile up of these sweet beautiful things born by nature raised by no one. Give them presents. You’re raising pimps. That’s what a ? is. A ? will act nasty to you so you have to go out and get them something. And then you bring it back and maybe he or she hugs you. And that’s why ? is so famous. They’ve got a drink called the “? -something.” You all wonder what that’s about, don’t you? Well, you’re probably going to let Jesus figure it out for you (laughter). Well, I’ve got something to tell you about Jesus. When you go to the church, look at the stained glass things of Jesus. Look at them. Is Jesus smiling? Not in one picture. So, tell your friends. Let’s try to do something. Let’s try to make Jesus smile. Let’s start parenting. Thank you, thank you (clapping, cheers)

    You should take a nap. What's to point out when it's sitting there in our faces? Anyone reading that incoherent mess and can say with a straight face that's the truth is being 100% dishonest.

    Who got shot in the back of the head for stealing a coca cola.? I don't recall that incident. I do recall the Latasha Harlins incident though. Which, had absolutely nothing to do with poor parenting.

    Cosby says "50 percent dropout, the rest are in prison".. Seriously? These numbers can be corroborated?

    Cosby degrades Blacks that choose to identify with Africa. He even goes as far as saying they know nothing about Africa. Seriously?

    He spends a good portion of ? on Black women. His not making any sense. Especially with recent data saying that the most educated segment of American society is in fact Black Women.

    I am appalled that I even have to point this out to forum full of Black Men. WTF?

    These are some of the minor errors that cosby makes during his rant.

    Everybody's a Black statistician nowadays, and there's always somebody else to say "well it's true".

    MFs believe the racist narratives, stereotypes, and fake statistics put out by racist White America and Black self haters, and don't make their own observations or critical thinking for an objective point of view.

    Don't assume.

    Teen pregnancy, poor education, drugs and crime don't just affect nor plague the inner cities for starters. Stop regurgitating misinformation.

    I don't care what percentage of Black people he is attempting to disparage. His speech was incoherent, and inaccurate.

    I will repeat myself for the 100th time and if, you still don't get it you needn't bother replying.

    Cosby holds the title of Dr. and is well respected. He could have found a much more articulate and positive approach to what he believes are issues that affect Blacks.

    I am not going to keep going in circles when I have pointed out to you SOME of the inaccuracies in this incoherent rant.

    I have conceded long ago that I don't believe he meant harm and recognized his contributions. However, none of that absolves him of this poor incoherent and inaccurate rant. I agree you are confused. Perhaps you should engage in a different topic more suited to your understanding?

    I know you didn't ask. But I feel compelled.

    Yes, I do. However, I see problems in every community. Large problems.

    What I also see is, other community handling their issues with more care. As a current example there is an opioid and methamphetamine epidemic within the white community I don't see whites disparaging their own because, of it. What I see are law suits against big pharma, increased drug awareness campaigns and increased services to assist those in need.

    Of course there are problems - it doesn't mean everybody got a crackhead moms and a father who ran off, and dropped out of school to become a part time drug dealer, rapper, and NBA player.

    These MFs just like to ? on Black people and quote the most negative ? stats they could think of while not acknowledging any positive ? .

    cmon yall

    dont let me down

    i even posted it for you.

    did he say something wrong? or were you told he said something wrong?
    cmon ...let get it.

    i gotta take a nap now

    You should take a nap. What's to point out when it's sitting there in our faces? Anyone reading that incoherent mess and can say with a straight face that's the truth is being 100% dishonest.

    Who got shot in the back of the head for stealing a coca cola.? I don't recall that incident. I do recall the Latasha Harlins incident though. Which, had absolutely nothing to do with poor parenting.

    Cosby says "50 percent dropout, the rest are in prison".. Seriously? These numbers can be corroborated?

    Cosby degrades Blacks that choose to identify with Africa. He even goes as far as saying they know nothing about Africa. Seriously?

    He spends a good portion of ? on Black women. His not making any sense. Especially with recent data saying that the most educated segment of American society is in fact Black Women.

    I am appalled that I even have to point this out to forum full of Black Men. WTF?

    These are some of the minor errors that cosby makes during his rant.

    soooooooo its safe to assume u didn't get that he was talking about the problems that are plaguing the inner cities??
    u thought he was talking about ALL black people and that he was some magical unicorn ? ??

    Don't assume.

    Teen pregnancy, poor education, drugs and crime don't just affect nor plague the inner cities for starters. Stop regurgitating misinformation.

    I don't care what percentage of Black people he is attempting to disparage. His speech was incoherent, and inaccurate.

    I will repeat myself for the 100th time and if, you still don't get it you needn't bother replying.

    Cosby holds the title of Dr. and is well respected. He could have found a much more articulate and positive approach to what he believes are issues that affect Blacks.

    at ? 90 yrs old!!?

    ? aint incoherent..
    he jus didnt say it in a way to coddle ur feelings..
    nothing he said was wrong and any reasonable person can see where he's commin from..

    and jus off the sheer fact he's been championing black people for decades the muthafucka deserves the benefit of the doubt..

    u know ? well that critique was constructive..

    me jus now hearin it for the first time but all this time listenin to yall ? ? about what he said?? im more confised about yall's reactions than u are his words. smmfh

    I am not going to keep going in circles when I have pointed out to you SOME of the inaccuracies in this incoherent rant.

    I have conceded long ago that I don't believe he meant harm and recognized his contributions. However, none of that absolves him of this poor incoherent and inaccurate rant. I agree you are confused. Perhaps you should engage in a different topic more suited to your understanding?

    only thing im confused on is u ? gender..

    i know yall are males but all i see is ? ..
    u ? literally sound like ? ..
    i got one right now..

    long story but she's here cause she needs me.. not the other way around.. im good regardless.. sorta like cosby..

    and everytime she does somethin wrong i check it and the ? get in her feelings.. she's probably gonna get fired today ..send her back to her piec of ? life and let her think about it.. crawl back correct..

    but yeh.. after about an hr or two she hits me up apologizin about whatever we was arguin about cause AFTER MUCH THOUGHT she sees her error..

    i give her that much over u ? tho.. least she sees her faults.. eventually..
    but ? i look like tap dancin around her feelings??! i aint that type of ? .. imma give it straight lace no chase..

    and only real see real.. and u ? lyin to urself and hearin that truth didnt sit well in ur stomach..

    heres the thing....how old are you?

    can you say what hes saying isnt true? hes not degrading blacks who associate with africa....hes saying if you do it...then do it right. put power behind those names...since you using it for power purposes. and lets keep it 100....how many people honestly know about africa? wasnt it the black community that was calling africns...african ? scratchers at a time? how many people knew or know their history without them being told?

    hos dropout rates and prison rate can be off....but here we go again with making sure his every t is crossed and i is dotted just to make him wrong.

    plenty of chicks will say aint no good black men....so i guess cosby is thinking like a chick now.

    but black women are the leading educated segment.

    as he has done for how many years?

    now we ? about the approach?

    how is that fair to him.....if hes respected?

    hes seeing his people die and get slaughtered and he sees alot not changing from the inside....he doesnt have a right to be frustrated...but you do?

    sorry bruh...you aint lived or helped enough to speak on how he speaks.

    Everybody's a Black statistician nowadays, and there's always somebody else to say "well it's true".

    MFs believe the racist narratives, stereotypes, and fake statistics put out by racist White America and Black self haters, and don't make their own observations or critical thinking for an objective point of view.

    soooo...you dont see a problem in the black community?

    a large problem?

    Of course there are problems - it doesn't mean everybody got a crackhead moms and a father who ran off, and dropped out of school to become a part time drug dealer, rapper, and NBA player.

    These MFs just like to ? on Black people and quote the most negative ? stats they could think of while not acknowledging any positive ? .

    but hes only speaking on those who are the problem.

    what part of that dont you get?

    are you attached to it since you defending it...or are you not apart but witnessed it? or are you oblivious?

    hes says it again here:

    as for pepsi coke....your playing semantics. hes trying to make a point. you are too busy dissecting the build up to see the whole point

    Yes, I can and I have pointed out a few of his inaccuracies that support my stance.

    Family. Cut the BS brothers and sisters that do recognize their African ancestry and who give their children names of power more often then not do so because, they have knowledge. You don't wake up one day a just pull an African name out the damn sky. So, Cosby fiction has no grounds in reality.

    If, he is going to quote numbers he should be accurate and not pull numbers out of his ass ? to try and bolster his point. Because, if his numbers are off it makes his statement untrue. I am apalled that you willing to forgo accuracy in this situation.

    I am not playing semantics. It's dishonest to use fiction, when addressing non-fiction. This is real life. Just like I mention Latasha Higins who was gunned down in real life. And that had nothing to do with BAD PARENTING. According to cosby Latasha was gunned down because, of poor parenting.

    If, our elders are going to speak important, and crucial topics concerning our community I expect them to be honest, accurate, compassionate and solutions oriented. Cosby was neither honest nor accurate.

    Cosby is right on some things, wrong on other things. I haven't heard him lambast people for things they shouldn't be lambasted for, he generally criticizes behaviors that he feels are detrimental to a person's growth and you can take that advice or leave it.

    He's not my fav person and I disagree with him quite a bit but he's not just picking on people randomly either.

    You keep thinking you know how other brothers get down in the world based on some posts. What I see is, someone with minimal reading comprehension and debate skills. You can continue to overlook cosby's blatant inaccuracies to aid you in your continued ? riding.

    I respect cosby and everything he has done for black folks. He has great track within the community. I believe what he is currently experiencing is the reality of our white supremacists injustice system. However, I will bring him to task on this train wreck of half truths and inaccuracies.
