Just recently I experienced, yet again, a few examples of people who set themselves up for failure and then proceed to blame everyone else. It's sad because it's such a waste. Fortunately, Bill Cosby is at it again, helping people to see the opportunities they squander,

"Dogs, water hoses that tear the bark off trees, Emmett Till," he said, naming the black youth who was tortured and murdered in Mississippi in 1955, allegedly for whistling at a white woman. "And you're going to tell me you're going to drop out of school? You're going to tell me you're going to steal from a store?" [Source]

I wish there were a lot more like him.

"Cosby also said he wasn't concerned that some whites took his comments and turned them "against our people.""

I didn't see any of this happening... did you? I'm mystified.
