You hear what you want to hear.

Shameful behavior should not be tolerated, instead it seems to be welcomed as excusable because blacks are victims and are entitled to act without remorse.

Hobbs - use your logical thinking learned from law school - and tell me is the white community accepting the behavior of unmarried white teens, celebrities, etc.; the drug use by white young people as portrayed in movies and TV? No? Hmmm - but you seem to feel that your research 'proves' that the 'black' community does. Is Cosby 'white'? Is Russell Simmons ‘white’? Are you aware of what they and many others are doing to show that 'black's do not tolerate this behavior. Are the young women at Spelman 'black' ? Take you head out of the sand - and learn about the 'black' community.

D's Mom,
Bill Cosby isn't white, but he is a hypocrite...he fathered a bastard child while married and tried to pay the "baby Momma" off for her silence. He promotes responsibility in the black community, but it seems his idea of responsibility means making sure you have enough cash to keep your sins hidden from the public that thinks you're a pillar of the community.
As for Russell Simmons, please...he sells cheaply made clothing to young blacks so he can live like a king. Have you seen Kimora's show. They live like royalty and wouldn't be caught dead socializing with the fools who've made them rich "moguls" as they call themselves.

Sounds like they've achieved the American pathos to me!

I thought it was the term "baby daddy" that was urban slang for a deadbeat dad, not "my babies' daddy" - where is the grammar police?

Geez, I even use this term when referring to my two 'babies' and their daddy... me, a married W.A.S.P.-ish woman (White Anglo-Saxon Pagan)

If you believe this: “But also, the lack of shame seems to permeate the leaders in your community as well. Shameful behavior should not be tolerated, instead it seems to be welcomed as excusable because blacks are victims and are entitled to act without remorse.”

Then you should definitely vote for Obama! His father’s day speech addressed a lot of this in a very forceful manner:

Obama's Father's Day Speech

Also I can explain your other concern: “That's what I can't understand about intelligent and thoughtful people who blind themselves to this truth…” You’re just a young fella, not experienced and not old like me. I'm so old I can remember when adultery was shameful and public knowledge of it would disqualify a presidential candidate.

We aren't supposed to point out glaring hypocrisy. It is not considered politically correct.

Tsk, tsk, now to make up for your thoughtlessness you need to go and represent that white crackhead from last weeks holdup. Only because he is white. No other reason, just because he is white.!! Otherwise we will be forced to call you "uncle Lars, or Rolf" or some other white protestant sounding name.

Don't compare apples to oranges. Lets compare the schools in the hills of Virginia to the schools in Beverly Hills. The racial makeup is similar.

So ... race DOES have something to do with it?

Your confusion is troubling.

Beverly Hills is a well-known upscale neighborhood in California. . .with a 1% minority community. The area I spoke of is a POOR community with a 1% minority community. I thought at least you watched TV! Your lack of comprehension is amazing. I've never met anyone in Fayette County who is 'dense'. Oh well - I guess there are even those in 'paradise'. Please don't respond - it's too confusing.

I think that is probably above his pay-scale, too. I think it is time for the citizens of this town and county to come to the aid of our law enforcement agencies and get armed. I am.

Don't hold your breath.
