"Expect straight talk from Bill Cosby" : News-Record.com : Greensboro, North Car…: May 8, 4:11am 3 reviews politics, society, race
http://www.news-record.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080506/NRSTAFF/805060301; In 2004, however, he made headlines when, during an event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case, he lambasted what he saw as the black community's failure to address a number of simmering issues such as poverty, crime and education. Among the comments he made was, "These people are not parenting. They are buying things for their kids -- $500 sneakers for what? And won't spend $200 for 'Hooked on Phonics.' ... They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English." The statements received a mixed reception from black leaders, some praising him for bringing to light an uncomfortable discussion, others dismissing him as an elitist. "He should pick on someone in his own class," author and Georgetown University sociology professor Michael Eric Dyson was quoted as saying in a 2005 New York Times article. "If he had come out swinging at Condi Rice or Colin Powell, they could defend themselves. But he's beating up on poor black people, the most vulnerable people in this nation. And why jump on them?""

The Truth about Helen Keller - Volume 17 No. 1 - Fall 2002 - Rethinking Schools…: Mar 25, 9:37pm 10 reviews culture, education, society
http://www.rethinkingschools.org/archive/17_01/Kell171.shtml; This is interesting and reminds me of the lame coverage of New York's new governor. I've heard at least three commentators I respect make jokes about blind peoples' increased hearing abilities. It's a stereotype and if such comments were made in association with sex or ethnicity it would be considered completely offensive. Disability seems to be one of the final frontiers of discrimination.

Restoration of constitutional rule is more than restoration of Habeas corpus. While habeas corpus rights are crucial, more than habeas is at stake. The entire Bill of Rights has been gutted by the Bushies, with the DLC's silent consent."

On the other hand, we have come to accept daily incursions on our privacy and other basic rights for the sake of convenience or "safety.""
