50% drop out rate
In 2006 (the time he made the speech), it was hovering around the 50% mark.

Im saying breh all that dont matter if we not supposed to listen to white folks anyway, are they that dumb?He reaches thousands of noi members weekly and 2x as many people who aren't noi.
His voice is being heard --- but the Congress and the Media have tried to censor him because he speaks Self Reliance and not depending on CACS -- but isn't ignorant as fukk like Cosby - so they can't use his words the way they use Cosbys words.
The damage that people like Bill Cosby and Deloras Tucker have done to blacks really can't be measured. I'm independent, but used to be active GOP ( just to try it out for a few years) .. used to be very active in politics............. and the ignorance that Elite and ignorant blacks in the media spit -- is THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL OF WHITE supremacy and CACs LOVE that shyt more than anything.
There is a good reason every white conservative wrapped their arms around cosby.... Even during this Rape scandal... % wise more of them defended him than blacks in the media. There is nothing a CAC loves more than blatantly unapologetic c00nery wrap in the guise of Black Self REliance Speeches.
Peace.
I dont like his tone but Cosby is RIGHT 100%. The only thing wrong with this speech is that it comes across as condescending because of the way he said it.
And you fukkwads who are mad at him for it are the exact same people that he is talking about. Noone taught you respect and love. Your parents were trying too hard to coddle you and be your friend than to discipline you and educate you. Sure we have outside forces that are against us. Name me one group that doesnt. You still gotta do your part to uplift yourself
The one thing i always say about people in this country that is totally detrimental is this : To many of you have the "i dont give a fukk" attitude towards life. Everything is about "keeping it real". Absolutely nothing is shameful to you. Weird to me how people can live like this. Thats the thing Cosby spoke about in the beginning.
"Decades of shytting on black people"...... what?So glad this Bill Cosby "Hero of the Black Community" bullshyt is being torn apart.
This is why I gave zero fukks about his rape allegations.
nikka trying to come home now after decades of shytting black people...
fukk outta here
You wanna roll with em? Roll with em. But don't try to come home now that you find out what they're really about
Support a speech full of misguided generalizations by making a bunch of misguided generalizations of your own brehs
Rek, i cant knock what you're trying to say. But do you realize. keep saying it wont change the reality? keep saying what? see the bolded above.
You will never be able to stop relying on THEM. THem are the majority race in this country. Them run most things in this country. Therefore THEM have control over these things. YOU do not have control over these things, YOU do not have some kind of insane number of people in the states to overtake them. So, YOU cant and wont be able to control a thing without their permission. NOt in the US. if you want to be self sustained.. i aint mad at that. sounds good. But realize. that will never happen here in the US. You will have to go some where else. Some other part of the globe where most of the people look like you and where most of the people that look like you RUN the country(not just figure heads being propped up by some european country). That is the only way you will ever be self sustainable. completely self reliant. you cant do that here. thats a fact of life most dont even want to look at cause its depressing even know this is the case.
Again that's a message that the majority of black people have heard and are following. You don't need to stand in front of a bunch of educated people and tell them about how the uneducated are doing it all wrong. And you especially don't then blame the oppression those people endure on the lowest of the low, then tell them to forget about the oppressors.
That's a fukked up and incorrect message.
How can it be the majority when we have the highest percentage of single parent households
Im saying breh all that dont matter if we not supposed to listen to white folks anyway, are they that dumb?
Everybody can find his lectures online, you copping pleas. You can cherry pick any speech the way yall did cosby and make it seem different than what's intended.
This threads not about deloras tucker breh. How has cosby damaged blacks beyond repair? They wrap their arms around Dr.King but also on cherry pick (non violent)what they want to use. So does that make Dr.King a c00n?
Based of what you think, Why arent the backwards thinking blacks following Farakahns teachings?
The speech isn't calling "a spade a spade"
In reality regardless of race or situation. You take ten people, a couple will go above and beyond, a couple will totally fail, and the majority will fall in the middle somewhere. You take that same ten people and place a systemic constant burden on their shoulders, then only the extraordinary will make it. It's not a conducive strategy to say black people should ignore everything else and just be extrodinary. It just doesn't work like that.
There is no evidence that black people are less responsible, less moral, or less upstanding in their dealings with America nor with themselves. But there is overwhelming evidence that America is irresponsible, immoral, and unconscionable in its dealings with black people and with itself. Urging African-Americans to become superhuman is great advice if you are concerned with creating extraordinary individuals. It is terrible advice if you are concerned with creating an equitable society. The black freedom struggle is not about raising a race of hyper-moral super-humans. It is about all people garnering the right to live like the normal humans they are.
You have to understand the numbers, not just take them at face value.
First off the out of wedlock rate is not truly indicative of whether a kid grows up in a single parent household.
Second the out of wedlock rate is not indicative of the strides black people have made about the issue.
Irresponsible teen/unmarried pregnancies are down exponentially compared to the past.The difference now is that married pregnancies are down even more so it makes the "out of wedlock" rate look worse than it is.
White irresponsible pregnancies are on the rise. If its anyone who gets the idea of family and responsible parenting in 2014 its black folks
But the media, bill Cosby, and these misrepresented statistics fight to plant a different picture.
Boom. We not talking about any race we talkimg about blacks. Mainstream teaches white is right. And hating cosby for telling you to own businesses is what they dont like. They Obama hate and what has he done for blacks?many blacks lessen to Farakhan. it's not in the mainstream media.. and backwards people, regardless of race -- only use mainstream media as a source for everything.
