The Fallen Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Bill Cosby Ripped by National Association of Black Journalists: Not a Racial Issue Not much of a rip, but I understand the sentiment. Herb Boyd, a black journalist, similarly chastises Bill Cosby. http://amsterdamnews.com/news/2014/dec/18/dr-huxtable-heal-thy-self/ Apparently, Cosby has voiced his opinion on how Black media should handle the affair. “Let me say this,” he told a reporter with the New York Post. “I only expect Black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism, and when you do that you have to go with a neutral mind.” His neutrality is clearly not evident in this regard, since he is sending the Black press a message through a white newspaper. We were told that he was not talking to the press, at least not to some of the press. “They don’t want me talking to the media,” he told the Post, after he had spoken with a reporter. This kind of behavior is symptomatic of his condition. On the one hand, he has nothing to say but is willing to chitchat with a paper that is generally hostile to the Black community. Go figure. Cosby is trying to have it both ways. Even so, we consider him innocent until he’s proven guilty, and we would hope that our willingness to be fair has some influence on his future attitude. The allegations are deeply disturbing, and if any one of them proves to be true, all of that chastising and berating of young Black men, his talking down to the Black community, would stand as the epitome of hypocrisy and unsavory acts of a miscreant. At some of these forums, he belittled young Black men and told them to pull up their pants, while he may have been taking his off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywin Manderly Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Cosby not finding support in black community Bill Cosby hasn't been "America's dad" for years. For some blacks, he is the cranky uncle complaining about young African Americans who, in his view, dress and behave in a way that drags down their race.

Tywin Manderly Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Cosby hires investigators to dig up dirt on rape accusers Bill Cosby has hired a battalion of private investigators to dig up dirt on his many accusers, The Post has learned. The best defense is a good offense, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 So.....if you haven't seen the news yet, news organizations convinced a judge to unseal a deposition made by Cosby 10 years ago, as part of a law suit against him, in which he admitted he obtained a prescription for Quaaludes, which he gave to women he wanted to have sex with. He said in the deposition that the women all took the drugs knowingly, but when asked if there were any women he gave the drugs to who didn't know they were getting drugs, his lawyer told him not to answer the question. The story seems to have moved some of his supporters to the other side. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/6d90b1f473f147ed9f0048f9e9ac2287/apnewsbreak-cosby-said-he-got-drugs-give-women-sex Comments?

Well, if it wasn't obvious before (and I believe it was due to the sheer number of his accusers) it sure as hell is now. Was a huge fan of his early comedy. His records were some of my first exposure to the art form. I have nothing but contempt and sadness for the man now. He appears to me now as a sad, pathetic little man.

Dr. Pepper Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Pretty much the only people who continue to stand by Cosby and defend him are unashamed rape apologists. Like Whoopi Goldberg, who has defended Polanski raping a 13 year old and now continues to defend Cosby by arguing that he's innocent until proven guilty. Apparently him admitting to giving women drugs along with a large number of women coming forward isn't enough to at least cast doubt. Bounce TV has also waited until now to pull reruns of his show because apparently the word of 40 women wasn't enough until the man got to have his say.

Baitac Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Pig, pig, pig. I don't know if there's anything that can be done legally. Maybe emotional damage? Go after him civilly rather than criminally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NestorMakhnosLovechild Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Don't have a lot of faith that this will stick, but I'm glad his feet are being put to the fire legally.Yeah... I mean, Prosecutors are not supposed to bring charges that they know they will not be able to prove... but the fact that they apparently waited until literally the last few days before the 12 year Statute of Limitations ended... doesn't exactly inspire me with confidence.

White Walker Texas Ranger Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 My intuition is that he won't be convicted. There probably isn't any physical evidence. There probably is only one witness. The case is more than ten years old. Most importantly, Cosby will have an excellent lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
