Unfortunately Cosby has a great point...there are some atrocious social issues in the black community that they seem unable to deal with. I find it shameful that some people, black or not, will spend all day Sunday at church, praying for things to improve, when they should be out there, trying to improve things. Like my mom says, "God helps them that help themselves".

The self-appointed "black leaders" seem more concerned with perpetuating the preception of racism, and don't want to fix it, or there will be no need for "black leaders". These alleged leaders teach people to be dependent on the welfare state, and don't try to help them make something of themselves.

Other minority groups try to assimilate, while some blacks try to distance themselves with their speech and dress. Guess what, the majority doesn't like those who don't go along with the group and these people with funny names, baggy britches, and garbled speech are going nowhere. As long as they are aware of the consequences of that choice to stand out, so be it, but they can't expect society to accept them.
