GOOD.
I wanna see him in a jump suit. Make his ass reflect on how he was a big hypocrite and a sellout c00n.
I personally seen Cosby walk thru the hood, talking to and shaking hands with the same people he was talking about. Why because any 60+ year old person have the same views, it just most of us don't wanna hear that shyt, because it feel like your being talk down to.Bill Cosby wouldn’t even acknowledge y’all in da street or piss on you if u was on fire.
U see him thank Felicia, Keisha Pullman Knight, or Fabiano Love for caping for him?
If he pulled his pants up none of this would have happened
Gtfo lol
Go on YouTube and watch videos from DL Hugely and Michael Eric Dyson speaking about his arrogance towards he both of them
He looked down on them how do you think he viewed the common black men?
Black men and Black women caping way too hard for a bougie arrogant man who didn’t give a damn about them
Now you got fools talking about Cosby is thanking people behind the scenes please stop
Faizon Love is a hating ass nikka but he never said bill cosby talked down to him
Same Michael Eric dyson that was talking shyt about Malcom X nikka
nikka if you think I’m going to listen to anything that fukkboi has to say
loyola llothta

You or that coward you post never drop millions to your people or the community...so fuk out of here with that bullshyt
Bill Cosby talks going to prison , didn't take plea deal, claims innocence
Bill Cosby is mentally preparing himself for prison, Page Six reports.
The New York Post column revealed on April 28 that the comedian -- who on April 26 was found guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home 14 years ago -- had been speaking to one of its reporters during his retrial.
"When they send me to that place, I want you to be there to tell my story because it seems no one is listening, no one wants the real story," Cosby, 80, told Page Six.
By "that place," he means a prison cell. He's facing 30 years behind bars -- 10 years for each count on which he was found guilty, as well as the possibly of fines up to $25,000 for each count -- when he's sentenced this summer.
"This is what they wanted," Cosby told Page Six after he was found guilty by a Pennsylvania jury.
He made headlines for bitterly lashing out at prosecutor Kevin Steele after the verdict was read when the district attorney asked the judge to revoke Cosby's bail, claiming he was a flight risk. "He doesn't have a plane, you a--hole. I'm sick of this," Cosby shouted. (The judge did not revoke his $1 million bail, though the man who's been accused of drugging, raping and sexual assaulting dozens of women over the last several decades has been ordered to remain at his Pennsylvania home on house arrest under GPS monitoring until sentencing.)
According to Page Six, when Cosby returned to his home outside Philadelphia following the verdict, "he was greeted at the door by another 'victim' -- his wife and most loyal supporter, Camille. She gave him a hug and a kiss, said a source who was present," Page Six wrote.
Page Six also revealed that Cosby spoke to the outlet in 2017 during his first trial -- which ended in a mistrial when the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict -- with the agreement that his quotes wouldn't be published until after the legal proceedings were over.
Cosby explained why he refused to agree to a plea deal that would have allowed him to avoid prison.
"When there was talk of a plea bargain, I said no," Cosby told Page Six. "I just refused to plead guilty to something that just didn't happen. It didn't happen, and Andrea knows that, and I think [prosecutors] know that."
If he'd taken the deal back then, he'd had served house arrest, registered as a sex offender and been on probation for an undisclosed period, Page Six reported.
"Why take a deal? Not when they want me to say that I'm a sex offender. I didn't do what they said I did," Cosby insisted.
He also shared a story about traveling to see the late Nelson Mandela, who famously spent nearly three decades in prison. Cosby seemingly compared himself to the former South African President who put an end to apartheid in the nation.
"You know, I think back to the time when Camille and I went to visit Nelson Mandela in South Africa. He was a free man, but I remember when we met him at Robben Island where he had been in a prison for all of those years. I sat in that cell where he lived, and I saw how he lived... what he had to eat to live and what he went through," Cosby told Page Six.
"So, if they send me to that place," he continued, "then that's what they will do, and I will have to go there."
Judge Steven O'Neill will sentence the comedian in July. Before that, he'll undergo a "sexually violent predator" assessment.

Why Bill Cosby Admitted Under Oath to Getting Drugs to Have Sex With Women
Why Bill Cosby Admitted Under Oath to Getting Drugs to Have Sex With Women
Experts address how someone with access to the best legal advice could have made such an explosive admission
The revelation this week that Bill Cosby admitted under oath to buying quaaludes to give to young women to have sex rocked the entertainment world and added fuel to the allegations that the comedian had drugged and sexually assaulted several women. But it also raised the question: Why would Cosby, who had the ability to hire the best legal counsel money could buy, make such a damning admission in the first place?
It turns out that Cosby’s disclosure about the quaaludes—which came during a 2005 deposition— may not have been as legally explosive then as it appears now.
Benjamin Brafman, a prominent New York criminal defense attorney, who does not represent Cosby, said the partial transcript of the deposition released by the Associated Press does not show that Cosby violated a law. Cosby apparently obtained quaaludes through a prescription, the AP reported.
In the deposition, which stemmed from a sexual abuse case against Cosby filed by a former Temple University employee, Cosby was asked by a lawyer, “When you got the quaaludes [in the 1970s], was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?” Cosby answered, “Yes.”
Brafman said the transcript is damaging to Cosby and “will haunt him for the rest of his life,” but it does not show that he committed a crime.
“There is no acknowledgement that he gave the quaalude to someone underage, or to a woman who wasn’t consenting,” Brafman told TIME. “Quaalude was the love drug of choice in those years. Doctors were lawfully prescribing it in those years.”
Brafman pointed out that Cosby could have been court-ordered to give the deposition, and it would have been worse if he had lied under oath.
“You don’t know what prompted the lawyer to ask the question,” Brafman said. “They may have had copies of prescriptions or testimony of doctors. For Cosby, making the admission under oath, even though it is damaging, it is preferable to perjury.”
Brafman added: “From a public relations standpoint, it is a disaster, but I’m not sure it necessarily advances the ball in terms of any legal proceedings.”
But lawyers representing women who say Cosby sexually assaulted them disagree, saying Cosby’s admission adds weight to their accusations. “The women have been saying they’ve been drugged and abused, and these documents appear to support the allegations,” lawyer Joe Cammarata, who represents Therese Serignese, one of the women who says she was sexually assaulted by Cosby, told the AP.
Quaaludes, the brand name for methaqualone, were a popular sleeping pill in the 1960s and were used in the 1970s and ’80s as a club drug, particularly to help people come off of a cocaine high. In 1973, they were classified as a Schedule 11 federal narcotic, which means doctors could still prescribe quaaludes but it was illegal to abuse them (Adderall is a Schedule 11 drug today). In 1984 President Ronald Reagan signed a law banning the production of the drug, making it illegal. Cosby’s admission concerns a period during the 1970s, when quaaludes would have been legal with a prescription.
Philip Jenkins, a professor of history at Baylor University and the author of Decade of Nightmares: The End of the Sixties and the Making of Eighties America, who spoke generally about the use of quaaludes in the ’70s and not specifically about how Bill Cosby may have used them, said that drug was indeed believed to be an aphrodisiac that consenting adults could use to have sex. “Quaaludes were something that was meant to send you to sleep,” Jenkins told TIME. “But it was also supposed to be the world’s greatest aphrodisiac. It was meant to knock you out, but also give you an overpowering sense of sexual urge.”
In 1980, Shel Silverstein, the children’s book author, penned a song popular in the era’s dorm rooms called “Quaaludes Again,”featuring a stanza about the sexual urges Quaaludes elicited:
She’s doin’ quaaludes again.
She fumbles and stumbles
And falls down the stairs,
Makes love to the leg of the dining room chair.
She’s ready for animals, women or men.
She’s doin’ quaaludes again.
But Jenkins cautioned that though quaaludes could be used to enhance sex, just like ecstasy in a later era, they have also played a role in sexual assaults against women. Director Roman Polanski was accused of giving a 13-year-old quaaludes and champagne before raping her in the late 1970s, according to the accuser’s account.
In the deposition, the question of how Cosby used the quaaludes goes unanswered.
“Did you ever give any of those young women the quaaludes without their knowledge?” Cosby was asked.
Before Cosby could respond, his lawyer intervened, saying, “Object to the question.”

You Win Perfect
bow down
Their King Hotep Leader Tariq is telling them to think this way.
How does a man and a woman consent to the woman using quaaludes? See these guys don't really think.
He admitted he is guilty by admitting he gives drugs.
I don't think alot of these idiots look up the definition of what a quaalude is: It is part sedative, part sleeping pill.
They got no issue calling Ross a creep for what he said about putting mollies in drinks years ago...and that while still creepy is the polar opposite of the quaaludes Cosby used. Its kind of like a stimulant.
The people who keep defending Cosby can any of them explain how did the women consent? What the women were smiling and agreeing to "roleplaying" by taking a drug that they knew they would make them fall asleep
