#2 Alternet--'nuff said.
It's so Leftist; they want the blacks to stay on the Dim Lib plantation.
Coz is brave and right to use his celebrity to lay some real truths on the "brothers" and the Truth always hurts.

#4 Daniels defends Cosbyâs words but notes other factors affecting the black community, such as the lack of economic, educational and political opportunities.

Please. Who says there aren't any educational opportunities? If one works hard in school, the educational opportunities materialize later on in high school and afterwards. From there springs the economic and political opportunities. To get something, ya gotta work for it.

Izrael, like others, wants to make clear the issues young blacks face today cannot be oversimplified and cannot be justified through divisive explanations like they are not doing enough.

And these "issues" are....?

"Too many times we see celebrities such as Cosby taken as the intellectual leaders of our community."

No problem! I nominate Flavor Flav!
