That renowned racist, Bill Cosby, is out there talking down to black kids again.
“Study. That’s all. It’s not tough. You’re not picking cotton. You’re not picking up the trash. You’re not washing windows. You sit down. You read. You develop your brain,” Mr. Cosby said at Fred D. Thompson Middle School, where 65 percent of the 700 students meet low-income criteria for free or reduced-price lunches.
I don’t care what his politics are, what kind of car he drives, or what brand of toothpaste he uses. This man either needs to be the Secretary of Education, or a new position created as an at-large ambassador for education. Whatever he wants in the way of salary would be money well-spent. I hate the expansion of government, and am torn about even considering a new federal job. So let’s just put him in some position in the governemnt and give him an aircraft to travel the country spreading the word.
Give him the entire No Child Left behind budget to spend as he sees fit. I would guarantee results, and far better ones than we’ll see otherwise.
Hell yes.

I work with a few black guys in their twenties, and one in his early forties. The young guys think Cosby is “corny”. The middle aged guy thinks that more black people need to listen to him.

I’ve always been an admirer of Bill Cosby, beginning with his “I Spy” and album days. He is sincere, and speaks well. He also knows what it takes to get yourself out of poverty. He got his doctorate in education for a reason.
