Cosby said, according to Leiby: "Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids – $500 sneakers for what? And won't spend $200 for 'Hooked on Phonics.'

He added: "They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is' ... And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk. ... Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. ... You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!"


now if i white man said this he would be the most racist muthafucka,  now that a black man said it,  whats every1's opinion on it

kinda ironic, that if a white guy said it, he a racist fuck, if a black guy says it, hes a genious...

w/e, hes right, but its not only black people

tom hit the nail on the head when he said if a white man said it it'd be considered ignorant and racist but since bill cosby said it he's "right"


i totally agree with bill

i mean , i don't see anything wrong with slang.....because i'll admit when something big goes down i get a big ass ghetto accent. but in general you shouldn't always be talking like that.

some of it is true.
some families who are not well off, would rather buy there kid hundreds of dollars worth of ecko clothes then a tutor.

^ or is it that 'whites' dont waste their money on material goods so easily?


btw what tom said is true... its not ~just~ blacks.. its all monetarily disadvantaged  (read: poor) people.

^ O, I don't believe it is.  I grew up with nothing but poor white people, and most of them really valued their kids education, and wouldn't spend the little money they had on material things.  

As for the talking, a lot of poor white kids talk like hicks, so there's not much difference there.  I say "Yall" all the time, and you know what? I don't consider it poor english, I consider it a variation of english as spoken in the south.  You wouldn't call a man from louisiana uneducated just because he says strange cajun phrasings.  Of course strangely though speaking 'country' isn't a racial thing, most people from the south do it regardless of race (same with cajuns, doesnt' matter what color you are).  Black folks seem to have a style of speaking though that only they use.  

shut the fuck up about the way people talk. I talk alot of slang naturally. I don't even think when I say it...I don't use heavy slang like some people but i use a good amount. Its dumb that people have to throw the Clay Aiken voice and use proper English and pronounce every syllable and over emphasise the sounds to be considered intellegent.

^Is that what you come to
