Bill Cosby tries to speak up as a role model for the black community and he is immediately labeled an "Uncle Tom" for his views on the lack of parenting skills that are being taught in many black families.

Man, you hit the nail on the head. Nuff said.
I dont believe you are lumping us all into one group (like some other posts) so no apology needed. I have a daughter and if anyone did that to her, its gonna be chaos. I think you did the right thing in theory, but it was kinda dangerous 8 on 1. Glad you were alright.
A large majority of our culture is self-hating. We wallow in our self pity but a lot of us rise above that to be key pillars in society. Cause and effect. Look at the strategies used to keep blacks in slavery. The brain washing, the treatment,etc. Thats just trickling down into today's society except our own people are sometimes he culprits. Come on, that wasnt even half a century ago. Look at other cultures in america. Yes, the irish, asian, and so on were discriminated against. Slaves? No. Big difference. Its gonna take some major work in our communities to lead the majority of our culture to prominence in our society rather than following the 50-cent path.
