I'm impressed :ehhh:

I have a sneaking suspicion it'll come soon..

I agree with the way he framed it.

I'm usually against this type of rhetoric, but he made the clear distinction between fault and responsibility. And didn't try to excuse or diminish the systemic issues that created the environment. He simple said we can and should fight to change the conditions.

Agreed.

Im not sure if anyone actually interested in fixing our communities... actually expects an outsider to do shyt anyway.

First fukk esquire. 2nd why do they continue to talk about black issues. This magazine is a Lilly white mag and yet they continue to talk about black issues.

I will never forget the racist article that they published by John Ridley c00n ass saying the difference between blacks and N-words. So shame on all these black entertainers who even do interviews with this racist magazine.

 

[Flash Thunderton]

To some extent... Yes he's really right



There are many things we can fix ourselves

 

[William F. Russell]

Bill Cosby tried to place the fault on the poor black community, and tried to claim our unfair treatment is a result of our behavior. Same thing for K.Dot and Barkley.

Big difference from what will is saying here.

I'd argue that Bill Cosby never said that blacks are at fault but argued that blacks are not being responsible as a collective, i.e., when it comes to parenting our youth.

Don't see how anyone can argue. We might have a coli 1st on our hands.

Now that the white man didn't accept his after earth and he's losing his hold on that 20mill per film leading man, he wants to speak on the black community Now

I agree 1,000%.

It's like if someone scratches your car and they duck you. Im not gonna drive around wit my car looking crazy. Im gonna get it fixed and then I'm gonna find the person who did it and make them reimburse me.

You and me were fighting for our lives on here for saying this a couple of weeks ago and now everybody cool with it

 

[Yup]

People like @Gravity are much part of the problem than the drug dealers/gangsters.
