Can't Blame White People
by Bill Cosby
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,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...
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.
Mushmouth is what they speak!
You can't be a doctor with that kind of
crap coming out of your mouth.
In fact you will never get any kind of job
making a decent living.
People marched and were hit in the face
with rocks to get an education,
and now we've got these knuckleheads
throwing that all away.
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 they won't spend $200 for Hooked on
Phonics.
I am talking about these people who cry
when their son is standing there in an
orange suit.
Where were you when he was 2?
Where were you when he was 12?
Where were you when he was 18?
And, how come you didn't know that he had
a pistol?
And where is the father?
Or who is his father?
People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward,
pants down around the crack,
isn't that a sign of something?
They're walking around with their nasty
underwear showing, and
holding onto their pants to keep them from
falling to the ground!
Isn't it a sign of something
when she has her dress all the way up to
her panty line,
and got all types of needle piercings
going through her body?
What part of Africa did this come from?
We are not Africans.
Those people are not Africans;
they don't know a thing about Africa.
With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and
Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.
Brown or black versus the Board of
Education
is no longer the white person's problem.
We have got to take the neighborhood back.
People used to be ashamed.
Today a woman has eight children
with eight different 'husbands' --
or men or whatever you call them now.
We have millionaire football players
who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players
who can't write two paragraphs.
We as black folks have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart
with seven kids saying...
you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other
to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any
longer.
It is not for media or anyone of this time
anymore to say whether I'm right or wrong.
It is time, ladies and gentlemen,
to look at the numbers.
Fifty percent of our children are dropping
out
of high school.
Sixty percent of the incarcerated males
happen to be illiterate. There's a
correlation.
Tell the media to stop asking me what I
think about people who don't believe what I'm saying or feel
that I'm too harsh or feel that I'm just running my mouth
because I'm old.
Seventy percent of the teenagers pregnant
happen to be African American girls.
Don't ask me to soften my message.
