it would suck to be one of those cool old timer negros, laid back 80 year old guy, who fought hard for blacks to have equal rights and whenever he sees the youth of his race they all make no sense, have clothes that are 8 times too big for them , platinum fronts and a rap sheet 4 times the length of their own body, is this the dream that martin luther king had?


Bill Cosby is your man. I can't find the text of his May speech to the NAACP anywhere - rumor is that the NAACP refuses to release the tape. Here's part of it:

Quote:

Cosby said, according to Leiby: "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?"
