From Yahoo News:
Bill Cosby (news) went off on another tirade against the black community Thursday, telling a room full of activists that black children are running around not knowing how to read or write and "going nowhere."
He also had harsh words for struggling black men, telling them: "Stop beating up your women because you can't find a job."
Cosby made headlines in May when he upbraided some poor blacks for their grammar and accused them of squandering opportunities the civil rights movement gave them. He shot back Thursday, saying his detractors were trying in vain to hide the black community's "dirty laundry."
"Let me tell you something, your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it's cursing and calling each other n------ as they're walking up and down the street," Cosby said during an appearance at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition & Citizenship Education Fund's annual conference.
"They think they're hip," the entertainer said. "They can't read; they can't write. They're laughing and giggling, and they're going nowhere."

I wish I had something I could add...but Bill pretty much sums it up once again...Mark's Remarks
Just as the American people needed straight talk about who we are and what we do from a President in the 1980s and got it from Ronald Reagan, so too in the 2000s the black community needs someone from their midst to stand up and call out the community for what has happened to the degradation of the community over the past 50 years. Remember, this was the community supposed to improve with the War on Poverty, the Civil Rights Legislation, Affirmative Action, etc. And what has happened? Looking here locally in Cincinnati, the black community is bankrupt, both financially and morally, and there is no hope. The upwardly mobile and educated blacks are getting out of Dodge, and it is creating a hole in downtown to where Cincinnati has the second largest population DECREASE in the nation over the past 25 years.
It is about time that someone in the community had the courage to quit placating and bribing and snowballing the black community with cries of racism or needs for more handouts. Bill Cosby has it right. This is not someone born with a silver puddin spoon in his mouth. Bill Cosby had to fight hard to get to where he is, and he should be held up as something to aspire to, not put down with epithets like Uncle Tom, etc. Bill Cosby has it right. The Rhymin Reverends and the '1st Black President' have it wrong and only create a further dependence society with their attitudes and ideas. Of course, that is what they want so they can keep everybody on the plantation.
