bebanovich,

First of all you made a stereotype that was inaccurate and out of line. You assumed that some kids from a specific area are the only ones that are willing to fight or are willing to behave in a bad way. Those are the comments I have a problem with. Then you tried to use Bill Cosby to back that up as if Bill Cosby has any credibility with the African-American community on this issue. Ever heard of Michael Dyson (Professor and Author)? He wrote a book addressing the many issues that Cosby raised and is widely in disagreement with Cosby as well as many other African-American scholars and leaders that took Cosby on. Knowing this does not make me an expert but I am related to an individual that writes about race and teaches racial issues in her day job as a college professor. I can tell you that much of the African-American Scholar community thought Cosby was out of line much like your comments. Many of the problems that take place in the Black community are no different than any other community. We have a violent society, not just violent communities.

Peace
