[lbo-talk] words for the black community

[Wilson Barber]

I disagee.  Bill Cosby is an elitist who diminishes
the devistation caused by the political/economic
policies
by government and corporation.  In addition and
ironically
affirmative action has help to create an intra-racial
class conflict within the Black community.  Cosby is 
merely an expression of the intra-racial class
conflict.
Essentially he cannot speak crediably on the condition
of most Black living in these urban areas.  I severely
doubt that Cosby lives anywhere near the "hood".
