QOTD – Dr.. William Henry ‘Bill’ Cosby, Jr., Ed..D.

BILL HAS DONE IT AGAIN.
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. 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 walking around.
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?
Isn’t it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] 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 …..
I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid.
I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don’t have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England , Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa . So stop, already! ! !
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, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard..
We cannot blame the white people any longer.’

1. Hatchet

IT WON A NEWBERRY MEDAL, SO YOU KNOW IT WAS LEGIT. This was like the ultimate survival story; although I have a feeling Brian (the main character) would get some pushback if he tried lugging a hatchet in his luggage nowadays. In retrospect, this story is pretty brutal. I mean, here we have this 13-year-old boy rolling solo in the woods, having to scavenge for food, trying to…

This list is PERFECT! Wouldn't change a thing about it! All these books bring back so many memories. I was always a bookworm as a kid, I used to challenge myself to finish reading a certain number of books each week. I have to admit I miss reading like that. What childhood books do you remember reading?

1. "What if I just got naked and started screaming at people?"

Although the details always change slightly, there is undeniably this incredibly weird little voice which lives inside each of us, coming out always in the most professional/formal/inappropriate moments, and longs only to see everything be ruined. Who hasn't been sitting in a business meeting or particularly boring lecture and become overwhelmed with the desire to do something absolutely insane, such as light your neighbor's beard on fire, or flash your genitals and wave them around a bit, or scream "penis" at the top of your lungs?

“This child/baby is ugly.” Yes, I've been guilty of thinking this about other people's babies. No, I don't feel bad about it. Some babies are ugly...ah so it goes. They might grow out of it, they might not. I do always think though "Do the parents know they have an ugly baby? Is a mother's love really that blind?"
