Bill Cosby: 'We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.. We cannot blame the white people any longer.'
Excerpts from Bill Cosby's Speech at 17 May 2004 NAACP event commemorating Brown v. Board of Education
Andrea Muhrrteyn | 20 January 2013 | SQSwans

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."
