Don't get me wrong, I also agree with Cosby. Too many blacks are too self-pitying. But it doesn't somehow eliminate the wrongdoing of whites. And the reason whites would be labelled racist for saying what he said is because they are the cause of many of the problems that people like Cosby are trying to solve. Just this week, in my english class we finished reading Song of Solomon, by Toni Morrison. The teacher (a white person) asked me why I didn't like the book. I told her it was because it largely showed blacks to be superstitious and backwards. She said if someone who wasn't a "person of color" had made the same critique, she would've said he had no right. And she was right, because much of the superstition and backwardness in that book was the cause of whites making ignorance a part of black culture.
And the fact that you actually have to name a black guy with some power proves my point more than I ever had to.
