I agree with common sense concerning the education factor.

In today’s world education and the way you use it will provide you with respect. No one can take knowledge away from you. Yes a degree is “just a piece of paper” but that piece of paper will go a long way.

Coming from a south asian country that was once under British rule, our people were also robbed of self respect and dignity. We were made to feel like dirt in our own land. We dispersed to North America, Europe and the Middle East yet we habitually encounter racism. Everyone laughs at the “indian cab driver with the accent” or the “Apu that owns the 7/11 on the corner” but no one will laugh at his son when he becomes a lawyer.

Education is not the answer to all of life’s problems but it will get you places in life and offer a tool you can use to better your own community. Become a doctor, go back to africa and work for a couple years treating individuals that are dieing from treatable illnesses. Become a lawyer and fight for individuals who were victims of racial profiling. Become a sociologist and research ways to aid inner city youth. Education will empower you.

It’s hard for me to accept advaice from a man who has two children who had drug problems, who has a habit of drugging his mistresses before he has sex with them and who had so many affairs, there is no telling how many outside children he has.

A lot of people are jumping on Mr. Cosby’s case. True, he is from the old-school Civil Rights Movement. Being born and raised in Baltimore, City, as a Black man, Cosby make some strong points. It is sad that people rather live on “The Wire” concepts of Baltimore, (which was created and written by two White men), instead of showing a little listening skills to what Mr. Cosby has to say.

We are so quick to judge or defend ourselves against our own race, but when another race mentions, write, create, or make something about us, we’ll buy it, promote it, sell it, and respect it.

And, I am not no old head talking. I am a young man with some agreement on Mr. Cosby’s assertions on an inner city I know all too well.

Later.

Once again, I’m impressed by the feelings and thoughts examplified in this post. It’s always refreshing to see that my people can articulate in a way that shows intelligence–whether learning from a book, classroom or down this path we call life–reading some of these posts gives me hope for our future.
