I have to agree with the Africans. Blacks in America got so used to "the man" keeping them down that now they've started to keep themselves down with stupid crap. The NAACP is not a progressive organization. They need real black leaders to come forward who can help blacks pull themselves up out of poverty, crime, etc. The NAACP gives a lot of blacks the idea that they are owed something and leads to the continuation of poor, angry people who don't think they need to work for their dreams, but should have them handed to them.
Note: I am not stereotyping blacks here. This is about the group which lives in poor areas with little to no education, low paying jobs or welfare, and multiple children that they can barely support. I realize that there are other races with the same group of people, but this is a discussion about the black community.
The Africans I know also like Bill Cosby and other blacks who stand up and say what is right. They are fed up with Al Sharpton.
While the African Americans don't like Bill Cosby and people like him.
They simply view the white man as holding them down,
which he is and did, but I really think Bill Cosby makes some great points.
