Taking a chance

The mechanics of things are such that a change in the standards of judging Black folks is coming. There's a couple of reasons for this; one would probably think Bill Cosby's recent…I reach for "rant" or "outburst" but not only do those term have more negativity attached to them than I feel toward his statement I do NOT feel the were unplanned…but I think Dr. Cosby's new aggressiveness has an underlying reason.

Because of the upcoming holiday I'll likely be in slacker mode, but I will be pulling together some stuff for early next week.

In the mean time, anyone who'd like to say something on Dr. Cosby's message or methods can log into Prometheus 6 using "On Cosby" as user name and password. I have no idea what sort of response I'll get, if any. I will delete posts that have nothing to do with the topic, though I don't mind links to folks' sites and and shout-out as long as they are in addition to the topic.

Most of what Cosby and Jessie Jackson said can be generalized to apply to all of us, equally.

For example, it's about time Americans take responsibility for our own actions. If this provokes an outbreak of responsibility anywhere in America, I'm gonna celebrate with bag of Freedom Fries.

Happy Oil Dependence Day!

taking responsibility, stop holding onto the victim tag like a badge, stop being afraid to speak your mind (you have one, use it before they outlaw that, too), be true to your heart and yourself, not what you think is right, but what is right.

there's probably a lot more i can add to that, but that'll do for now.

"oil dependence day"? damn, and i thought i was cynical ;)
