Bobert: You are not smug are you?

Now what is your message for poor people? Is it "you are owed a living"? If that is not the message, what is it?

Seems to me the if "we" owe minority groups anything, "we" owe the Asians just as much as nay of them. How come having something owed to the Asians is not holding them back? Look at their graduation rates. It is better than the Caucasians.

You can't answer the hard questions so instead you try to belittle me. I haven't belittled you. I am just pointing out your inconsistencies.

Are you saying that Bill Cosby and Jesse Lee Peterson don't know what they are talking about? Are they heartless, smug and born with silver spoons? I don't know about Peterson but Bill Cosby was raised up poor as dirt in Philly back before the civil rights movement but due to good parents, none of that held him back. He worked after school to help the family. He was in the Navy.

He is described as an American actor, comedian, television producer, and activist. I don't hear him moaning and groaning about the biggest corporation in the world making the biggest profit.
