I often hear the phrase, "the white man is keeping us down". How is that so? Is it not the African American culture? Is it not the rap music that glorizes the, "thug life", or the fact that seventy percent of all children born to African Americans are out of wedlock? Is it not because that for blacks getting an education gets them the stigma of, "acting white"? Is it not because they don't have enough positive role modles?
Here in Birmingham we have one of the highest murder rates in the country, and it is black on black crime. Is that also the white man's fault?
Are not African Americans not to blame for their own problems?
I think Bill Cosby has a great message for his people, but most of them don't want to listen.
