Finally read Cosbys whole speech. Why would a black person disagree?

[Flash Thunderton]

If you say anything negative about the black community and you're black you get hate poured on you.



That's how it is

 

[William F. Russell]

Is this said speech?

Nah, he made the speech (referred to as the "Pound Cake" speech) in 2006.

 

[I SEEN THAT LIGHT]

People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! Then we all run out and are outraged, “The cops shouldn't have shot him” What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand?

You're a fukking c00n if you agree with this shyt.

And if you do, you better not say shyt when unarmed black men are killed.

Basically...if u agreed wit that bullshyt speech u need to shut the fukk up about anything Mike Brown related...

[Danny Up]

Systematic racism is a bullshyt copout.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

black people actually agree with this hoe ass c00n


acting like he Malcolm X with the CIA coming at him cause the hoes he raped telling on him

Nice try...but you're wrong.

1. Cosby's overall point was that you can't claim you're a victim when you've engaged in illegal/wrongful behavior. Moreover, he was speaking in hyperbole, not in the literal sense.

2. Mike Brown wasn't shot because he robbed the store of rollies. He was shot dead following a physical altercation with Darren Wilson outside of the store/in Wilson's squad car.

Stop being obtuse.

 

[philmonroe]

But bruhette..

I'm tired of explainin. I'm tired of excuses. I'm tired of "bu bu but look at what happened to us "

How many fukking times do we have to pass around the fukking Willie Lynch letter and all agree "mm hmm that's what they're doing to us mm hmm", but then don't do shyt about combatting it

On a public forum (such as the way Cosby's speech got delivered) yeah I would want the history of how we got here explained FIRST before the criticisms flew...

But if we amongst ourselves?, man fukk all that bu bu but this what happened shyt.

By now 2014 we ALL KNOW it's not our fault that we're like this. We know that there's been systematic fukking-over of us at play for the past hundreds of years. We don't need to keep harpin on dat shyt.

Now is the time to look WITHIN and start fixing shyt from the inside out. fukk all that 'bu bu but the white man did this' type shyt it's sink or swim time now mothafukkas. 2015. We either improve our position, or we get eaten up like shark food while complaining about being in said position.

If I could I'd rep you because this exactly what I'm always saying. It can't be 2014 and dudes still using the same reasoning for why they can't get it popping that our grandparents had who definitely had it worse than us from an achievement perspective. We have the Internet and ability to do a lot of things from a success standpoint but some people still have "reasons" are honestly holding us back collectively. If we can't be real with each other or tell honest truths we are failing each other IMO. Its not like we don't know what the obstacles are its now at a time of what are you going to do to make it better for the future generations.

I was virtually saying the same thing...

 

[Lil Big Daddy]

This. I don't even like talking about black/ black American issues online because its not anyone's business but ours. One of the things I liked about the Black Muslims from reading Malcolm X's autobiography was that they had meetings which were closed off to the public as well as some open for anyone to hear but there was exclusion.

And that's exactly the way it should be. The rest of the world spends it's every waking moment publicly pointing out our flaws, we don't need to do so publicly as well. All that shyt he sayin may be true, a lot of the shyt Benjamin Watson said in his viral FB post was true minus the shuckin n c00nin..but you just dont do that bruh.
You don't air "family business" out to the world like that. It takes on a whole different context.

 

[You Win Perfect]

If you say anything negative about the black community and you're black you get hate poured on you.



That's how it is

Because that's all people like to talk about. Always shytting on blacks bringin up the same talking points over n over.

 

[philmonroe]

Didn't he give this speech in front of a majority cac audience? My father told me this years ago and hasn't liked him since. It wasn't about what he said, it was where he said it.

Damn fam your dad out here looking bad on that. I don't think you can/should be wrong on this type of stuff esp if you going to say that's why you don't fukk with a person.

 

[Flash Thunderton]

Doesn't take away from the fact that some things need to be said regardless

Why because I thought the cop knew nothing about the other issue so how do the two issues relate?
