ABC News: Bill Cosby: African-Americans 'Not Holding Up Their End of the Deal'

ABC News: Bill Cosby: African-Americans 'Not Holding Up Their End of the Deal'

I think Cosby is calling it as he sees it. Truth is the lower on the economic scale you get (regardless of race) the less importance is placed on education when the opposite should be done. I will grant you that not everyone needs to go to college, nor should everyone, but there are fewer and fewer jobs that can be done by high school drop outs or even high school graduates who barely get by. If people want respect, they need to some to themselves. Constant cursing (not that I don't from time to time) and poor english skills are not going to earn anyone's respect.
