OK so I checked out the Cos podcast. The one thing that really jumped out at me was Cosby's comment (referring to colleges in low rent neighborhoods) that "if you are in the neighborhood you're part of the problem". I have nothing against encouraging people to help out, but this is a mindset. You are born guilty. The common good of the community has a claim on you. Even if you are minding your own business, not harming anybody, simply existing you are a problem. How much human tradgedy has resulted from this thinking?
