Bill Cosby to Blacks: "Your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day"
 

CHICAGO - Bill Cosby went off on another tirade against the black community Thursday, telling a room full of activists that black children are running around not knowing how to read or write and "going nowhere."

He also had harsh words for struggling black men, telling them: "Stop beating up your women because you can't find a job."

Cosby made headlines in May when he upbraided some poor blacks for their grammar and accused them of squandering opportunities the civil rights movement gave them. He shot back Thursday, saying his detractors were trying in vain to hide the black community's "dirty laundry."

"Let me tell you something, your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it's cursing and calling each other hahahahahaha as they're walking up and down the street," Cosby said during an appearance at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition & Citizenship Education Fund's annual conference.

"They little niggas think they're hip," the entertainer said. "They can't read; they can't write. They're laughing and giggling, and they're going nowhere."

In his remarks in May at a commemoration of the anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education desegregation decision, Cosby denounced some blacks' grammar and said those who commit crimes and wind up behind bars "are not political prisoners."

"I can't even talk the way these people talk, 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is nigga' ... and I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk," Cosby said then. "And then I heard the father talk ... Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these Niggas. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth."

Cosby elaborated Thursday on his previous comments in a talk interrupted several times by applause. He castigated some blacks, saying that they cannot simply blame whites for problems such as teen pregnancy and high school dropout rates.

"For me there is a time ... when we have to turn the mirror around," he said. "Because for me it is almost analgesic to talk about what the white man is doing against us. And it keeps a person frozen in their seat, it keeps you frozen in your hole you're sitting in."

Cosby lamented that the racial slurs once used by those who lynched blacks are now a favorite expression of black children. And he blamed parents.

"When you put on a record and that record is yelling `hahahahahaha this and hahahahahaha that' and you've got your little 6-year-old, 7-year-old sitting in the back seat of the car, those children hear that," he said.

He also condemned black men who missed out on opportunities and are now angry about their lives.

"You've got to stop beating up your women because you can't find a job, because you didn't want to get an education and now you're (earning) minimum wage," Cosby said. "You should have thought more of yourself when you were in high school, when you had an opportunity."

Cosby appeared Thursday with the Rev. Jesse Jackson (news - web sites), founder and president of the education fund, who defended the entertainer's statements.

"Bill is saying let's fight the right fight, let's level the playing field," Jackson said. "Drunk people can't do that. Illiterate people can't do that."

Cosby also said many young people are failing to honor the sacrifices made by those who struggled and died during the civil rights movement.

"Dogs, water hoses that tear the bark off trees, Emmett Till," he said, naming the black youth who was tortured and murdered in Mississippi in 1955, allegedly for whistling at a white woman. "And you're going to tell me you're going to drop out of school? You're going to tell me you're going to steal from a store?"

Cosby also said he wasn't concerned that some whites took his comments and turned them "against our people."

"Let them talk," he said.

Meanwhile he's directing a new movie (Fat Albert) which as we all know used tons of broken english and black stereotypes. Cosby's just got alittle comfortable being up there with the rich white folks.. It's all good it happens to the best of us.

at anyrate what's with the sig?

the sig leads to topbucks

Yawn....Jedimorons daily news post. All he does is copy and paste some news and then moves on to another thread. Ignore the fool.

Somebody needs to do something about that sig.

makes sense - cosby is pissed that blacks are wasting their time trying to attract white women for whores and looking like pimps instead of fighting the right cause and getting real jobs plus an education. You have a history of people dying for your freedom and right to even get an education and read / write and your wasting it!!

How can a race expect to be respected by anyone when their own sons look like a jewelry stores? One day all these guys who feel they are helping the black cause are going to find instead they have betrayed their own people by limiting the youth to have goals of pimping - with the education of grade school and a vocabulary that every three words contain some form of "shizzel" in it.

Nobody is limiting anybody, and you are just perpetuating the blame-game which allows the aforementioned people to continue to get away with the stuff they get away with.

wrong...and even if you were right (which you aren't), Fat Albert was originally made back in the seventies which would mean that he's been comfortable with white people for all of that time..

Bill Cosby can NEVER please complaining blacks...When he had the Cosby show, blacks complained saying that a black family that is well off where the Father is a doctor and the mother is a lawyer isn't "realistic"....Then when he does the fat albert thing, blacks complain because he is following "black stereotypes"..

I'd do just like Bill Cosby said to the complaining negroes....I'd tell them to fuck off.

Cosby got no street cred.

Someone needs to tell these fucking nigga's whats the deal. I mean, im sick and tired of some 10 yr old kid in a hoody and fuckin sunglasses punkin it out around town on his bike. Looks like he's selling dope, the little bullshittin nigga'. This shit needs to stop, or else it should be open season on tuff little nigga's like this. Lets all get a shot at em!

Another white person living in an ivory tower that doesn't know jack shit about blacks and probably hasn't even seen them unless they're making ebony FHG's.

Please refer me to the quote where Bill Cosby said that blacks want to attract white women for whores....And who are "all these guys" that are for the black cause that encourage kids to become pimps?...(and dont come with that rapper shit because they aren't for the cause, they're ENTERTAINERS)..

And what about all of these white pornographers wearing pimp suits at the players balls trying to be Pimp4Aday? Who influenced that shit? So since a PORNOGRAPHER wants to look like a pimp for one night and use "shizzel" in every sentence means that they don't have any education and goals of pimping?

What do you think porn is? It's PIMPING...

I see PLENTY of ignorant white trash walking around and as soon as somebody points it out, they're racists...

This whole thread is idiocy...Time for me to go out and find me a bitch to take some pics of so that I can be a pimp too.
