Bill Cosby
The controversy over his remarks one week ago on the anniversary of Brown vs. The Board of Education is not dying down (see my own posts on the subject under "breakfast for the Mind". Now, as the Washington Post reports, some black leaders are admitting that Cosby's comments may have some truth to them, especially the part about the failure of many minorities to take responsibility for their actions. If black liberals, such as NAACP Executive Director Kweisi Mfume, begin to recognize the validity of what was said and then influence others to change their behavior, then I cannot think of a better way to celebrate this Supreme Court decision.
