OSH Disappointments

I think Bill Cosby has said some things recently that are right on the
mark.
It naturally ****ed off the NAACP et al, but that only proves he was
telling
the truth. He basically said that blacks are responsible for their own
success. Period. And with and education and hard work, they can truly
succeed, himself being a prime example.

I only wish Cos had spoken out sooner, because there is a whole generation
of black males (and, to a lesser degree, black women) that have been lost in
the inner cities, either to prison or chronic unemployment. Having worked
in the inner city for seven years (in Southeastern Wisconsin), I can
personally attest to this fact.

Education and hard work is the only road to success, but there is a black
sub-culture in America that has completely turned its back on both. It's
pitiful, and truly frightening.

But that's all beside the point. Hard work and education will take you as
far as you want to go in America -- you just have to be self-motivated to do
it.
