Laws have indeed changed, and I think they're helping. But like I said last night, you can't legislate thoughts and emotions.

unfortunately, there are people that prefer crying about lack of opportunity, instead of taking advantage of the opportunities already available. achievement isn't easy, but it is possible. it shouldn't be easy.

What you call "crying about lack of opportunity" others see as expressions of legitimate concerns.

i have yet to see a successful person of any color who is obsessed with the roadblocks in front of them.

I happen to know quite a few successful people that are concerned about the roadblocks that they and their people continue to face, namely my in-laws.

most successful people don't have time to stand and bitch about why life is unfair to them. they are too busy working toward a goal. they may acknowledge the difficulties along the way but they focus on the possibilities in front of them. and i think that is what bill cosby and others have been trying to say.

Similar to what I said above, what you call "standing and bitching about why life is unfair to them" some see as legitimate complaints, concerns and/or voicing opinion.
I think a lot of what Cosby has said has been spot on, though some of it has been just plain silly.
