Lest I forget

Bill Cosby made some comments (scroll down a bit) not too long ago regarding literacy in the Black Community. A follow-up article ensued. It seems people were afraid that his comments were misconstrued.

The second article, which strove to place Cosby's comments in "context" did nothing to soften their blow. At least not in my mind. And why should they? What's wrong with telling the truth? Why are people afraid to be honest? In order to fix a problem, it first has to be recognized and exposed. I don't believe people ought to be complacent, especially when it comes to education and literacy.
