Cosby's been doing this for a while. Yes, whites have called it racist, but I can't think of a single black, either of prominence or an average guy on the street, who has called Cosby a racist or what he says racially motivated.

Hell, a white could say all that and it wouldn't be racism, in my view.
Too much focus on racism in this culture. Little bitty feelings get hurty-poo too quickly, methinks.

You is right. No self respecting black or anyone else of a differen't race, than white, could disagree. Only the race baters, and racist of all cultures disagree. Everyone who has half a brain, and most blacks and people of any cultrue agree with what has to be done. Only the most racist, eg ML Coons sidekick, can state otherwise. King may have been an upstanding guy, I would not have chosen a plagerist as a hero, myself, but be what may, thats their choice. Most self respecting people of any cultrue, race, reject the claims of he race baters, with good reason. Jessie Jackson is a Racist.

http://www.stanford.edu/group/King/additional_resources/articles/palimp.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr._-_authorship_issues http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/mlking.asp Boston University, after conducting an investigation, concluded that King plagiarised his doctoral thesis (around 47%) and put a note on King's thesis in their archieves saying as much. Interestingly enough, the same doctoral committee that reviewed King's thesis reviewed the thesis he copied from (Jack Boozer) about 3 or 4 years prior. You didn't hear about it when it was discovered in the early 1990s, because the media covered it up, they didn't want to run the story. Wonder why... I'm not sure about the book you mention, but it is widely known that King slept around quite a bit, and I have heard that he slept with two women in a motel the night before he was killed. Not sure if there was a book on it though.

Good for him that he can hump two women in one night, and plagarism? Who cares? And I hear he had a horrific temper as well. Please!
The good he attempted for humanity far outweighs the wrongs of his personal life, neither of which crossed each other in public it seems since adultury and plagarism aren't widely associated with Dr. King.

Thats just their culture. All cultrues are equal, you know.
I guess King deserves some credit for actually doing something with the ideas he plagerized. But to make him a hero, an icon??? Bill Cosby is a much more suitable person to make an icon. I suspect most self respecting blacks agree with Cosby in general. I don't know why they support King. Last edited by snowman; 05-23-2006 at 09:14 AM.. |

1) what you linked to is bollocks - no action required 2) what you linked to is somehow based in fact rather than twisting facts. Best answer - spend lots of money equalizing outcomes (through education) for African Americans and any other disadvantaged people. Oh, and I'm about 99% sure you are Alfred and have been banned twice for being racist.

The info on IQ might be correct, but so what?? Exactly how does this affect legal rights? Not at all. It does affect outcome of education however. But our system is NOT equal outcome, its equal opportuntiy. Unfortunately some not so intelligent people are demanding equal outcome. Not possible, with any race, culture or whatever. These are the idiots that need to be taught something.
No two people are equal. But their rights are. Lets face the facts, I am better looking, smarter, stronger, and superior in all ways to anyone else on the planet. Everyone else has the same right to be the same as me, legally, but certainly not as good looking. Last edited by snowman; 05-23-2006 at 08:25 PM.. |
