Bill Cosby truth thread UPDATE: Found guilty on all charges 4/26

[Shorty K]

don't cast my blackness in the lot with a man who sexually harasses and rapes women

What rape has he been convicted of

Black men are guilty until proven innocent, huh?

 

[Shorty K]

And blowing up

Be an unfunny fat c00n brehs

The only c00ns are the ones giving negative energy to a black comedian for cracking jokes in some small scale venue. Hannibal Burress didn't put Cosby in the system and make his routine viral.


Hannibal Burress ain't call no authorities or put any charges on Cosby

The speech was c00n shyt and the virtual lynching he’s going through now is proof.

Naw, that's older generation Black person shyt. Talk to any old Black person and the majority of them would say the same thing. The younger Black generation is completely different than the generation that he helped foster with The Cosby Show and A Different World.
He was talking about parental responsibility.
Not wanting to stay in the projects and bad neighborhoods for generations on end.

So the public, virtual lynching that he's experiencing now is because what he said is more helpful to Black people than it is hurtful. If he hurt some Black people's feelings by what he said, so be it. A woman with multiple baby daddies is nothing to applaud or admire in the Black community. A Black man who sells dope to his own people without conscious is nothing to brag about.

You don't become a threat by ignoring what's going on in the Black community, You become a threat when you speak an ugly, hurtful truth to your people with the sole mission of trying to uplift them. The Black people who Cosby was being critical of can breathe a sigh of relief now, but this trial and accusations robbed the Black community of a powerful voice that could've sparked some inner reflection among Black people.

I don't give a fukk about Cosby but this trail is bullshyt. I ultimately feel for his wife and children. They have to be reminded
that their husband/dad is a fetishizing Whoremongering piece of shyt until his death. But his millions will afford them therapy lol

 

[JahBuhLun]

fukk Bill Cosby.

Look, at the end of the day, this is one case with one woman.

He's still got like 49 other instances of everything ranging from actual rape to sexual harassment.

He's a trash human being.

Problem with this way of thinking is the fact that he's done more to help Black people than anybody on this site and any other forum combined.

You’re full of shyt. This has nothing to do with age or generation. There are plenty of older blacks around cosby’s age who dont subscribe to cosby’s bullshyt respectability politics while they’re also plenty of younger blacks who subscribe to that bullshyt. Cosby’s speech was no different than what the alt-right and the rest of the white supremacists say. Cosby’s message was basically “it’s not white supremacy that’s holding blacks back, it’s dysfunctional black culture”. He even directly says that we(blacks) can’t blame white racism for our condition in his speech.

Now you can try and spin it all you want but it was c00n shyt and the proof in how he’s being done now. Cosby doesn’t fit any of the stereotypical descriptions that he whined about in his pound cake speech yet he’s still being destroyed by white racism. So much for that “.....we can’t blame white supremacy because we are our own worst enemy” talk. That’s the point c00n. Cosby’s pound cake speech deflected from white supremacy to victim blame blacks, and it’s quite ironic that the same system of racism that he deflected from is now being used to destroy him and the legacy he spent his lifetime building.

AAs could literally do everything Cosby said step by step and it would produce little to no change at all

Why do you think that, when we really haven't seen Black people try to follow the steps en masse. Imagine if Black people put the same energy in improving themselves as they did making Black Panther the #3 movie of all time.

But the problem is integration and the Blacks that are well off hardly have the desire to purchase a block and or a strip mall and bring in Black businesses on a grant type of program where the rent and utilities would be free for 6 months to a year. A lot of Black people who want to start a business just need a quick stimulus package to get them inventory and get up and running without worrying about rent and utilities.

Hell, even if they don't want to do brick n mortar, they can set up a click and order online business, but they still need inventory, so people aren't waiting 2 months for their order to arrive.

Truth is, white society and businesses don't benefit by having self-sufficient Black people. When there were Black communities where the Black dollar stayed in the Black community and circulated through the Black community several times, white people decided that they needed to bomb those communities.

I don't owe him shyt, frankly.

Most of these allegations are outside of the statue of limitations.

I'll be damned if even 10 women invent some shyt like this against me.

Not fukking 50+.

You don't have the bag,and you can't be used to gain attention or sympathy.

Like it or not,there are women who are make up stories to get attention and so they can play victim.

Yes,lets just pretend these women didn't want a chunk of the class action law suit

Now just think,these women can sue for something they thought was okay 30 years ago,but now believe is wrong based on society evolving.

How about we open up these doors and allow blacks to file clash action civil lawsuits for racist acts,that took place decades ago. Open and outright racism and hate crime was allowed and part of the norm decades ago,but we all agree that its wrong now right?We all hate racist right?

How about we start taking some of these racist grandparents life savings and homes,you did help burn down someone elses back in 1950.

How many Black people that are 60ish-70ish have you actually talked to? Do you know actual people who don't subscribe to what Cosby said, or are you referring to the Micheal Eric Dysons (even though he's not Cosby's age) of the world, who are basically enablers.

And to man, you're correct in some aspect about white racism, but here's what's unique about being Black and having to live Black experiences........
(it actually can be both conditions interacting with each other at the same damn time) So yes, Cosby saying racism isn't the problem is short sighted, but to act as if the current Black culture among the younger generation is something to behold and tout as the standard by which we should all live by and avoid criticizing is foolish and does a disservice to Black people as a whole.

I terms of talking points by the alt-right, that's what they do, it's what white people, alt right and liberal have done since the beginning. But here's another anecdote; if I have multiple kids by multiple mothers, I dress like a half-homo and just commit crime for shyts and giggles and someone decides to criticize me, they would be justified in doing so, because how I'm living my life is not socially acceptable; be it Black or white.

The most important thing is that Black people as a whole, we have to stop looking for white validation. The reason why asians do well is because they don't have a need to fukk with white people except on a business level. Can we make money together? No? okay get the fukk out my way white boy because you're wasting my time.

So again, I'll admit that you're right in terms of how Cosby addresses racism in a way that let's white people off the hook to easily. But I will say that white people try their damnedest to discredit Black people who have something to say that they feel may eventually have a positive impact on Black people.

Cosby lined up some sharks for his legal counsel brehs

When brehs get big be sure to have the top notch lawyer money.....

I didn't see him talk about any of that in his speech. Just spoke alot of white supremacist rhetoric,said we can't blame white people. Only thing he was right about in bashing of Christians for not doing more in the community. He gave no solution other than saying we need to be better parents,while at the same time noting that "those people" are all having kids at 12. Yes expect kids having kids too young to be great parents Bill.

Does all this speech while giving his generation a pat on the back because "they fought so hard" as if they had it all figured out. Obviously while I thank his generation and don't blame them 100% at all,things started going downhill with his generation obviously. Generations that followed his generation would have raised better children,if they were raised right,correct?

You can definitely blame the avalanche effect of white supremacy for our current state,which Bill was quick to not want to do,while demonizing us in the same sentence.
"We cannot blame white people. White people (clapping) .. white people don’t live over there. They close up the shop early. The Korean ones still don’t know us as well…they stay open 24 hours (laughter)."

He offered no solutions,outside of telling people who probably don't know how to parent,possibly due to bad parenting,to be better parents

As well as acting like you can parent the same way you did in the 60's,people need to learn how to parent modern day,and survive modern day pitfalls.

I blame people like him from his generation for not evolving with the times,yet speaking like they have it all figured out today. Based on what they were doing decades ago,sounding misinformed while doing it.

We have to begin to build in the neighborhood, have restaurants, have cleaners, have pharmacies, have real estate, have medical buildings instead of trying to rob them all. And so, ladies and gentlemen, please, Dorothy Height, where ever she’s sitting, she didn’t do all that stuff so that she could hear somebody say “I can’t stand algebra, I can’t stand…and “what you is.” It’s horrible.

What's modern day parenting? What's modern day pitfalls? What Cosby was displaying with his show, that was the 80's, not the 60's. We have prisons full of Black men who are in there as a result of "modern parenting"

 

[I Really Mean It]

Discussions over whether he's a c00n are immaterial to the more relevant one of why he is being targeted, when there are offenders with more damning evidence - Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, et. al. - who remain free. We know why.
