Cosby Is a Serial Rapist

[Granite]

Nah, they'll make it about race.

Cosby's attorneys have already started using the words "lynch mob", "witch hunt", "persecution", etc.

On MSNBC, Melissa Harris-Perry (who is black) was asked the following from Ebony Magazine senior editor Jamilah Lemieux (obviously black):

“Say that he was a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, right? Say that he was a leftist. Say that he was really on our side, quote unquote, politically. Would we be having this conversation? How willing would people be to turn their backs on him?”

They'll try to play that card and it won't work. Attacking the accusers might prove more effective, unfortunately. They'll blame the women, they'll paint them as opportunistic, as the real predators here, and they'll try to save as much face for their client as possible.

Given Cosby's lengthy history of berating the black community I wonder how much good will he's got to work with here. Not much, if I had to guess.

Someone put it perfectly: "Cosby left the plantation. Clinton is the plantation." That's what's really behind this.

Uh...no.

 

[musterion]

Uh, yes. You said it yourself.

Given Cosby's lengthy history of berating the black community

That's a relatively recent thing on Cosby's part, within the last several years as he's gotten old and cranky like a black George Carlin just before he croaked.

After that point, after Cosby ticked off the establishment Left by trying to upset their black apple cart, is when this really started to get legs in the media, even before that comic said something about Cosby.

It worked for Bill Clinton

Hilary even helped with attacking the accusers.

No, I didn't. Was that plantation comment something you dreamed up?

Cosby's been at this hectoring for at least a decade, if not longer. Carlin was a pretty equal opportunity offender.

Cosby's past, and his history of allegations (well known in some circles since the Sixties, apparently) went pretty much completely ignored until Burress finally forced the issue. If he hadn't been so matter of fact about it--bluntly calling Cosby a rapist, once and for all--would this have become a story? Probably not.

Tet, stick to football, or something. It's about the one thing you can speak to with any kind of consistent sanity.

Burress did the routine in October 2014. But as I already said, there was some coverage before Burress. Still, the frenzied ramp-up in coverage, including tabloid cover news about past payoffs, coincides roughly with his telling the black community to stop blaming whitey for all their problems. That's where Cosby crossed the line. It took time to their game plan in place but once it took off, he was done.

At this point, it won't matter to the Left if Cosby goes to trial or not. It won't matter how many of the women were actually raped or how many were willingly drugged into a Quaalude stupor. Won't even matter that odds are at least a few are outright lying. The goal has been reached: they needed a way to disgrace (thereby morally neuter and permanently silence) a suddenly inconvenient but still beloved and otherwise untouchable black liberal multimillionaire. This is how they did it and it's already worked.

:think:


does this mean the inner cities will explode or not?

Interesting. It also makes for great news distraction from anything the Left wants to pull off. Always does.

does this mean the inner cities will explode or not?

No, it means they'll likely continue exactly as they have: mentally enslaved by leftist Democrats, allowed to quietly decay as long as the voting blocs stay on the mental plantation where "whitey" put them. Except for when the Left finds it convenient to allow them be riled into self-destructive riots, all will continue exactly as it has.

Cosby, from all reports, is still firmly on the plantation, having publicly supported and donated to Clinton, Gore, etc. Yet he KNOWS. His unforgivable sin was to question the mental chains a little too loudly and often.

 

[ok doser]

I'm only getting the CBC's coverage on this, and that's only significant because the victim in question is a canuck

Neither party is founded in the principle (or want thereof) of racism...

You do realize a remark is only sarcastic or effective if it makes sense, right?

I mentioned that too--these allegations have dogged Cosby since the Sixties, though Burress's remarks were the first time I (and likely many others) ever heard such claims. That's when the story went viral and became too big to ignore. Still, hard to make this into some kind of calculated frame up or conspiracy to silence Cosby: His "Poundcake" speech dates back a full decade before Burress called him out. If this was some kind of organized operation "they" certainly took their time getting around to it. Point being Cosby wasn't "suddenly" inconvenient to anyone--he'd been at this shtick, lecturing and moralizing, for a while before Burress's exasperated comments made people sit up and ask what the world he was talking about.

Hard to fathom too who exactly stands to gain by knocking Cosby off his pedestal: The sense of betrayal among many in the black community is palpable. The only folks who stand to gain much in the end are his (many) victims, who will hopefully finally see justice done in court. Too late, of course, but better late than never.

What saith TOL ?

I just watched a CNN special and there are so many victims and stories, it seems no doubt they are true. Disturbing and disgusting.

Nobody deserved it - :devil:

Surprised. Disappointed. Disgusted.

His admittance to giving women Quaaludes (which he stocked up on) is an extremely convincing piece of evidence that he denied them of the ability to consent.

Seems rather similar to the reaction and support OJ received from the black community regardless of the evidence.

However, due to his (Cosby's) celebrity status and the treatment of rape victims, it is completely understandable that women would be hesitant in coming forward.

Unfortunately few women ever do. And accusing a wealthy celebrity? Forget it, odds are stacked against you. What's really shameful is that no one listened to the victims, for years, but when a comedian had a zinger ready that's what got people's attention. Finally.

Regardless of whether or not he is convicted of a crime or faces punitive damages ... one thing has changed. His reputation is now toast ... which, considering his admission to the crime, it should be.
