“We’ve got to lay it out for them,” Cosby said when asked about how to help cut the rate of teen pregnancies in America. “Let’s tell them about life. You’re 14 and having sex. OK. So, what kind of job do you have?” ("Yeah. I hear ya Cos ... but that 14 year old girl doesn't happen to have sex in a vacuum. She's having sex because of how she is shaped by her environment. What you don't realize is her environment is only 10% what you call "The African American Community". Her environment is also 45% Plantation Media and 45% Plantation Food & Drugs" which have a far greater influence on the chances of a 14 year old girl having sex than what a caretaker says to her. )
Cosby, who received a standing ovation when he walked on stage at the Essence Festival, said the African-American community must get involved if change is going to occur in any area.
(What "African-American community." Where is this mythical menagerie of "African-American communing"?)
“Apathy is strangling you to death,” he said, to rousing applause and a few ‘Amens’ from the crowd.
(No Cos ... GMO, MSG, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Toxic Vaccines, Baby Formula and The Medical Industrial complex are strangling black people. "Apathy" is a byproduct of the chemicals they ingest.)
“Get up. Stay on the scene. Be a studying machine,” he said, drawing from soul singer James Brown’s lyrics.
(Study what Cos? Study the historical and scientific propaganda of the Plantation School system? Why? Schools no loner educate. They indoctrinate. They prepare people to be employees.
Graduates of Plantation Schools are getting fatter and sicker faster and younger every year. They are getting poorer every year Cos. They are going further into debt Cos. Study? Then what? Work for the government? Nah, Cos. Ya'll old Negros are forcing young people to study the same shit that fuuged ya'll up.
Old Negros need to stop yelling at kids and build for children viable holistic schooling alternatives. Not until they understand that our current school system does not educate even it's valedictorians will they appreciate what children really need.)
“We need to start getting into people’s business. We need to say, ‘Hey, I’m your cousin man, I’m your brother, I’m your sister and I don’t care if you don’t talk to me anymore but your teenage daughter ain’t got no business dressing like that!’ Tell them.”
(Yeah. OK. But if you really had courage, you would tell your cousin they aint got no business eating like that! What they are eating kills far more of them than what they are wearing. But it takes more love, compassion and courage to challenge people on what they put into their mouths than what they put on their asses.)
Cosby also urged black people to reclaim communities riddled with violence and drug abuse: “How long do we wait? When are you going to wake up? We can’t keep blaming people and expecting people to fix it. This has to stop.”
(The Plantation uses everything from propaganda, to chemicals to mind numbing media to occult symbols to influence the behavior of our children. Why do our supposed best and brightest pretend a child can be properly reared by simply sending them to school and giving them periodic common sense "lectures".
Kids don't need lectures, they need parents. They need two of them. They need to be male and female. They need religion. They need someone to provide them an intelligent healthy diet that won't damage their nervous systems and dull their minds. They need to stay away from that Harry Potter sorcery witchcraft fantasy and disguised devil worship before they start to hate humanity.)

Teach DV, Teachhhh brother!
They need a NEW religion. Our religion cripples us. Leaves everything to God.
Which is a central part of his message despite the misdirection.
ACTION.
What I love about your message is that the action begins with oneself. Indirectly this is befitting for the current ambience of the generation because in my humble opinion we are gravely self-centered anyway.
It says okay, "try being self-centered about the things that matter" : your mental, physical and spiritual health.
O. Mahogany, how do you feel about tithing? My mother has given 10% of her income to the church forever, even when I was younger and we were struggling and it never made sense to me. But it's one of those topics that are not up for discussion. And this is true of so many older black people. Personally I think it would make more sense to tithe to your own retirement account and secure your future. But I guess that's considered sinful...
@Pink!!
I'm the grand daughter of an AME Zion Rev. (r.i.p and keep it flossy grandad!)
I've seen tithing work. And I've seen it corrupt.
The church should be a community hearth. Ideally it would use the tithes for a) providing service to the community or b) upholding the structure of the church which then provides services to the community.
If that's not happening screw it.
This is the subject under a bigger problem in the church:
ADHERING TO WRITTEN WORK, WORD FOR WORD, THAT HAS BEEN BASTARDIZED a thousand times over.
GOD IS LOVE. ALL else is the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. lol
@ Ces
Yes. But you fight years and years of programming. You fight the media which is constant and everchanging.
Now I doubt the more naturally intelligent of the few that you speak with will require much disproving. But perhaps most of us do.
No matter. Repetition always wins. Always.There are ways of silencing the dogs. Making them go home and think. Then come back for another bone because they realize who their master is: the one who holds truth.
I've been a dog so I know.
You may not have the energy for that at this time.
But one day you'll find you're more effective if you do.

Birds don't teach their young by chirping at them, they teach by example.
When Bill Cosby can say to the kids "this is how you do it" instead of preaching rhetoric, then he will be seen as something more than a mouthpiece...
Love your comments. Bill means well but is the definition of out of date. Kids need revolution, not scolding. Free your mind and your ass will follow.
Pink, I think tithing is probably one of the worst scams ever....right along with the message that "god wants the pastor to dress well, and drive a new fancy car every year". I saw my parents do it, but called bullshit at the tender age of 16 after my parents wanted me to give 10% (PRETAX!!!) to some religious pimp in an Italian suit, who lived and ate better than all of his congregation (this is after moving to California from Boston...my grandfather still worked a day job in addition to pastoring his church, and didn't take an income from tithes). I chose to save my earnings for pocket money and college. 16 year olds shouldn't be making luxury car payments for someone else.
the only thing competing with the negro church for useless parasitic obsolescence are the pseudo-greek negro fraternity and sorority organizations....,
