Harleyman Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Bill Cosby's famous speech. Thanks for that Sierra and how true his words were. I believe that if MLK were alive today he would have agreed 100 percent with Cosby's speech. He would also have been bitterly disappointed at those who end up joining gangs to make a bit of fast easy money selling drugs. He would have said "They squandered the sacrifices and hardships the older generation had to go through in the early 60s. The sit ins and abuses at whites only lunch counters, being set on by water hoses and police dogs in Birmingham, the courage of a simple working woman Rosa Parks on a Montgomery passenger bus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many believe that Hoover's persistent refusal to recognize organized crime was due to him being blackmailed by the Mob over that relationship and that they had evidence, photos etc to prove it Hoover had files on just about anyone in the public eye including those of his Presidents. A possible reason why he was allowed to stay in that position for so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mort Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Closed. I will draw your attention to the ignore button. I suggest that some of you start to use it because if you don't you are going to be on permanent suspension. Getting very tired of cleaning up threads full of childish bickering by people who are old enough to know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
