Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Ultimate Bill Cosby Thread: Blacks can't speak English

Bill Cosby has hit the nail on the head.

African Americans have been in this country for what, 250+ years now, as long as everyone else.

The European settlers all melted together to become a somewhat homogenous social group with the common language of English.

And after the great waves of Europeans, the Asians came along. They were mistreated, and the subject of many stereotypes, but they didn't publically denounce the current social structure. Instead, they've learned English and became fully functional and sucessful members of American society, even while retaining some of their own culture.

Now, we have a recent influx of Mexicans, and the majority of first generation American citizens are coming into age. They have went far and wide into the country, and have struggled with abject poverty and lack of english education in efforts to lead a better life. They are hard working, and many of them are illegals, but they know it and don't try to abuse the system. They just want a better life for their families, and are working for it.

If they blame white people for their current social situation, they are not public about it.

This brings me back to African Americans. Of course, it is an important point to note they were enslaved for over half the time they were in the country, but that has been 5 generations ago. There definitely isn't any living African American who has been enslaved.

Since then, they have been given oppurtunities to rise out of their social stagnation, and some have sucessfully integrated with the rest of our european/asian country. Yes, they aren't in positions of power. But some have risen to positions of power. Women have too, after being disadvantaged for a far longer time than African Americans.

But no other group tries to distance itself from American society like the African Americans. Organizations like the NAACP are blatantly anti-white, and serve as divisive. They think they are entitled to something in todays world because of something that happened a 100 years ago. They refuse to take personal responsibility for their own lives. They would rather blame it on white-owned Corporate America. They still honestly believe there is a great white conspiracy to keep them 'enslaved'. There are African Americans now who recieve grants for our government just to preach about how awful white america is.

How is the white conspiracy enslaving them? Someone on welfare isn't paying taxes or contributing anything valuable to the nation. If corporate america, or white america was enslaving them, the African American population would be contributing to society more than what it does now.

For every George Washington Carver, there are a thousand drug dealer/pimp wannabees and welfare mommas. This is sad, but it is a fact of life.

Corporate America doesn't hate black people, they hate lazy people. They hate unproductive members of a capitalist society.
Bill Cosby knows this. That is why he pushes for education and adaptation to our current society. Intelligent and responsible members of any cultural group will go far. There aren't as many limitations as what people think.
