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

[southern.girl]

When and how has that specific brand of classist criticism benefited the black race?
Do you have any non anecdotal examples?

I don’t think Cosby’s speech was elitist, so maybe we should start there.

That doesn't answer either of my questions.
How has this type of criticism helped the black community as a whole?

Cosby made some power player mad behind the scenes so they decided to publicly discipline him. Of course the media isn't going to cover it now. Hannibal Burress needs to be called out for being a little pawn and throwing his own under a bus.

I don't think it was either. I just think these things would be accepted better if they are directed at fully black audiences AND not leaked for media public consumption.
In fact, I know they are accepted because this is how old heads talk to the younger generation.

The only thing is when cacs here this they take it as an excuse for their actions because "See!? See!!! Even Bill Cosby agrees with us and he's a black legend!"


I feel you though, but the setting/audience/context can destroy the framing of an entire message

 

[Vandelay]

Damn...I was on the fence, because I just couldn't see him being the most prolific rapist in history, but the sheer amount of accusations had me thinking there was something shady going down.

Tom Mesereau is killing them out here.

Gloria Allred......always heard about her but I was a kid when she was on her bullshyt but now I see firsthand.

 

[The Message]

He was hitting it when she look like this.

Bananas man. White women age like bananas. A lot of the PAWG lovers are going to be in for a surprise when these women reach their 30s who don't have a dab of S. or E. European ancestry. Cats are going to be walking around holding hands with a broad that looks like Coach Beulah Balbricker from Porkies.

my nikka...please...its too early for this wild ass shyt

the fact that this hoe thinks that this makes sense.

"bu bu bu bu he put his hand on my thigh and started unbuttoning my pants... I let him know I wasnt interested... well yeah I went back and kept hanging with him cause he was well respected and a community leader and I wanted his help..."


Mesereau gon eradicate this beige heffa when it's his turn

Cross-examination of Constand begins

Cosby lead lawyer Tom Mesereau began his questioning of Constand by trying to highlight inconsistencies in the details of her story.

Consulting a thick binder of police statements and Constand's prior testimony, he pointed to discrepancies between what she has said in the past and what she said on the witness stand Friday.

On Friday, she denied ever having intimate contact with Cosby prior to the alleged assault at his home in 2004. But in a 2005 deposition that Mesereau showed her, Constand said she'd told her mother that she was affectionate toward him.

Mesereau also brought up an issue discussed during the first trial last year, pointing out that Constand told one police agency the alleged assault occurred in January 2004 but told another it was in March 2004.

“I was mistaken,” Constand said.

Mesereau also questioned her about an issue he brought up in his opening statement: Constand's alleged involvement in a pyramid scheme. Constand struggled to explain why she sent emails soliciting money for the purported scheme during the time she worked at Temple University.

Constand said she didn't know much about the company and was only helping a friend.

Shortly after 5 p.m., after Constand had been on the stand for about five hours, the judge concluded testimony for the day. Constand will return on Monday for Day 6 of the retrial and Mesereau will continue his cross-examination.

This type of criticism could help tremendously if the black community listened.

I’m not talking about white supremacy, but more so helping with the amount of respect & love that we give to people that look like ourselves. It’s really the difference between macro & micro. Cosby is focusing on the micro aspect (i.e. what we can do to avoid the potholes of white supremacy). Both POV (macro/micro) are need but everyone does not have the passion/knowledge to fight both sides of the situation. And nothing is wrong with that, IMO.

@The Wave I get your point about the audience diminishing the purpose of the message. I just feel like (1) the truth is still the truth, (2) we are rarely in spaces without others and/or snitchers and (3) in the age of videotape & exposures, this was bound to get out to the masses anyway.

Overall, I do agree that this message should be an in house conversation, but I question the feasibility of an in house conversation actually happening due to the reasons listed above.
