Second, I'm not against personal responsibility, but I am against scapegoating as a way of averting where the real problems lie.

Anyone who says they are not responsible for their actions should be shot. or sent to Africa as punishment Cosby was a guy who was attacked for saying a race should take responsibility for themselves.

Not surprising coming from this man though. Bill Cosby is a bundle of laughs at times.  Clearly he is completely out of touch with today’s society. Not surprising coming from this man though.

It is more about gun control than race but the race of the victim factors in the outcome. I haven’t read the article and I completely agree.
