Bill Cosby's recent remarks about poor people's attitudes have come under some fire. Here, as reported by Matt Rosen on his Rosenblog, is Mr. Cosby's right-on-the-money response to one of his critics:
Mr. Farley made it sound as if I had divulged some secret about which no one knew. But where is the secret? The secret walks and it talks. From the hallways of the school to the street to the corner store and onto to public transportation, the dirty laundry is out there."
"Walk with the dirty laundry one day. Walk through high school hallways and listen to the dirty laundry talk. MF! F! N! And, of course, that famous university, FU! All these words are spoken with the same ease as 'pass the salt.'"

As Mr. Cosby says, this "dirty laundry" isn't news. What IS news is that Bill Cosby is opening a public discussion of the issue, with the central question being, who/what is responsible?
See the article HERE.
And remember, you didn't see this in your local paper, or on the national news, did you?
