The last religion I practiced was Buddhism. The middle way. Most of the posts I've read here voice exactly the debates I have in my own mind. I suspect that the same goes for most of us regardless of the position or point of view we reveal in these posts. It's a process or discovering the truth which may be different for each of us. One truth is that most of us are selfish individuals and that we hide our own personal (I mean really personal talk-to-your-shrink type personal) agendas behind a lot of rhetoric and grandious facades. There are very few absolutes in this life....maybe death and taxes.
I think Cosby was right in that the people of the civil rights movements of the '60s who put so much on the line, their lives, their livelyhoods, the saftey and welfare of their families and friends, need to be remembered by all. I don't think of them as victims. They were the victors.
OK. Where's the anthem music?
I'm pretty sure that someone will find an acception to this post as well....

Hi everybody.
I came accross this chat forum looking for a transcript of Cosby's speach. It affected me greatly. I'm white, middle class...uh...w.a.s.p!
I have to say that reading the entire thread so far has been cathartic.
Thanks especially to bigboi and JT
Are you people really Jehovahs Whitness?
.....well I'll be damned! (joke)
There doesn't seem to be any phony psudo-pious practioners here. I can't believe your the same folks who used to knock on my door.....
Thank you all. It's been very interesting, enlightening and as I said cathartic.
I guess now I'll have to come up with an opinion.
I'll have to say that I applaud Mr. Cosby. I believe he was talking to a room full of activists (and a few victocrats) who could handel it. As for the rest of us, he said "Let them talk!"
And so we are.
