Good point. Regardless of the validity of any criticism he may have, his house is hardly in order. I would love to see how he responds to valid criticism of his 40-year drugged rape campaign.
Fuck it man. Watching Fat Albert as a kid imprinted my psychological profile and played an important role in the man I am today. When I say this whole Bill Cosby fiasco is painful on a personal level, it's an understatement.

Okay I know it's not funny. But shit was hilrarious.....if it wasn't real.:axe: [youtube]eY0wMVfFxxE[/youtube]
Curious how he arrives at his opinion ... how does anyone arrive at an "opinion" as to what went down between a child and a priest in a secluded enclave? It's called "he said she said" cause there are no witnesses
If you want to say circumstantial factors led to your "opinion," well .. does the race consciousness forum know anything about that? lol
Anytime someone offers you pills to take and they aren't your doctor, you bear at least some responsibility for what you're putting in your mouth. If you don't know what those pills are you shouldn't be taking them. You can't just blame the person who gave you the pills for total culpability. The women who claimed Bill Cosby secretly spiked their drinks are in a different category. It's not even really about the pills, it's whether or not these women consented to have sex with Cosby. Many of his victims from the '60s and '70s were semi conscious throughout the entire encounter, were not totally incapacitated yet still said 40-50 years later they were raped. I think it's going to be extremely difficult for some of those women to convince a judge the sex wasn't consensual.
Please. If l have a headache and you tell me youre giving me a pain killer, lm not doubting you. Or Cosby. Which is what he did. He lied. He never said, "here is a quaalude, now let's go have sex". To suggest in your post that some were semi-conscious and yet 40 years later called rape, is just your new 'doubtful' spin on "why didn't they say anything ALL this time", when you have been cleary informed on the why's numerous times.
From a personal perspective, there is no excuse for Cosby getting and using illegal drugs with these women, especially the ones where he slipped them in without their knowledge or consent. That being said, from a legal perspective, from what I understand most of these encounters were casual one nighters and these women did not know Cosby well. So questioning why those that did know he was giving them drugs, why they would take drugs from a virtual stranger will most likely come up in cross examination. This is tricky and risky for the defense because it may come across as victim blaming to some on the jury, while others may see it as a reasonable question.
Oh! I wasn't aware some of the alleged victims admitted to voluntarily and knowingly taking narcotics at the scene. Thanks for the clarification
"Weeks before his criminal trial begins, Bill Cosby gave a rare interview to a radio host, saying racism and "nefarious" motivations could be behind the allegations against him. The interview was an unusual one for Cosby who has rarely addressed the accusations made by more than 50 women, many of whom say that he drugged and sexually assaulted them....." http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/16/us/bill-cosby-interview-racism-trial/
Just think, if he'd kept his mouth shut about the hood, ghetto BW and pants-saggin trap niggas, he'd still be telling jokes and selling Pudding Pops today.
What about the black women who raised allegations against him...? He doesn't have to use the race card his own pure celebrity-ness will get him off... http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2014/12/bill-cosby-beverly-johnson-story
Let's be real though..wagging his finger when he was out here drugging and raping women? It pales in comparison. Sick Rapists trump hoodish behavior. Not even in the same league.
They're just tokens to make it seem not racist imo. @Bliss The Bill Cosby serial rapist controversy definitely should be discussed in the conspiracy theory thread. I'm not saying he didn't rape ANY of the women. But the idea that a Black Man was so powerful in the U.S. that he can get away with raping 50+ WW is laughable. I should probably mention that I didn't grow up (& still haven't) watching "The Cosby Show" & "A Different World". So growing up I knew Cosby mostly from him shitting on the black community. So I'm not emotionally invested in him like other black folks.
I think the one difference is the way he "allegedly" raped them. If he had dragged them down some stairs or pulled them into a van he would have been brought up on charges a long time ago. The sad truth is that men have been plying women with intoxicants to have their way with them forEVER, and only in the last few decades have we started shining a light on the levels of consent.
I think racism totally was a factor here. Admittedly, there's a lot of smoke, but they really went after him. I have no issue with authorities investigating and pursuing those suspected of crimes, but it would be nice if it could be consistent.
Amen to that. That's how the whole thing started. A comedian said "who is Cosby to talk....he's a damn rapist" Funny how 50 women all came out at the SAME TIME...that's what makes me skeptical.
I don't think there's any question that Cosby frequently gave women alcohol and quaaludes in order to have sex with them. On its surface this may not sound like rape, but if women are too intoxicated or doped up to really say yes OR no, it's technically sexual assault. Rape. This is the same reason most women won't leave their drink unattended at the club because there are sexual predators out there looking for an opportunity to get a woman knocked out. If Cosby had just been giving women drinks then having sex, no one would take these charges seriously. It's the fact he was giving women sedatives that pushed these cases over into the rape category. He should have known better and been more straight up. I bet 30-40 of his accusers would have had sex with him anyway without the drugs if he'd just put in more work.lol Now his legacy is in the toilet. I Spy. Fat Albert. The Cosby Show. Rapist. That's just fucked up.
