I was reminded of this with the whole Pants on the Ground phenomena. This also could never have been made by a white person lest it be called racist.

Even if they left out the N word, white people telling blacks to stop being ignorant, read books and lead responsible lives wouldnt fly. Even Bill Cosby gets slammed for giving this message.

It's all about policing your own. If whites made a "don't be ignorant" video, it would be targeted at all people, or t least we (white folk) would feel like it was. I think minorities may view it a bit differently.

As for Cosby, not sure why he was made into a villain. Too bad though.
