I have so many fellow law students that are black and its always a treat to listen to them talk in class, so full of knowledge just like everyone else in my classes. You guys need to reconsider whether or not you agree with Cosby, I certainly do not.

Bro, you're missing the whole damn point. Cosby is saying to his own race that they need to STOP making it "about race". The color of skin one is born with is no excuse for failure. No one said "black kids are stupid." You're missing the entire point. It's not the law students we're talking about. Law students are obviously among the more motivated members of society.... How many of your law student friends skip class and stand on a street corner, acting like a moron, as I described earlier? I'll venture a guess that NONE of them do, because they are busy DOING something with their lives.

You're exactly right, it's NOT a "color" thing. That's exactly the point, and that is exactly the point Cosby is trying to make. You're missing it entirely. We're saying that it's time to STOP using color and social class and sexual orientation and other perceived "differences" as an EXCUSE for one's lack of motivation and drive.
Stupid people come in all colors. What he's saying is: Don't be one. Less excuses, more action.
