You know, as a rule, it's very hard for women to come forward to relive the horrific trauma and then to get away with.
What do the leaders of our black community at RIU have to say? @londonfog @Fogdog @SneekyNinja?
It could've been your wife, sister, auntie, cousin, girlfriend..

Wasn't it a hung jury? Tells me that most on the jury thought so too.
Awful what he did. Despicable too.
You make it a race issue?

It is a race issue, but for the reason he did so much to further the cause and breakdown ignorances. Clearly if 50 women say he drugged and raped them he is guilty and a horrible human being.
Do you then ignore all the good he did in breaking down barriers for other black comedians and actors. For normalizing the black family with 2 working professionals and well raised kids. For giving to scholarships and charities that promote achievements in the black community.
He was using his success to help many while at the same time using his success to victimize others.
Personally, I think his crimes outweigh his acheivements.

This isn't about his good deeds, it's about his rapes. Surely you aren't saying those were OK or that he should be let off with a slap on the wrist because he did some good, are you?
He wasn't aquitted, he just wasn't convicted. Many of us will listen to the 50 women and be convinced that justice wasn't served here.
I fail to see how race is at all in the mix here.
Not at all. Just curious about the role model thing. I grew up watching and admiring the Huxtables. It was 1984-92. Just an overall disappointment with Cosby.
You're just love to rattle peoples cages, don't you? An instigator- Sick.

Shame the mods deleted the ultimate burn.
This thread was (for a short time) more than 0 stars.
On-topic: Cosby is a rapist pervert...I don't see how his race is relevant.

I considered the shit Cosby said as preachy and obnoxious. Didn't actually accomplish anything with his tirades. Except give the white religious right cover. In one of his tirades, Cosby criticized Eddie Murphy for using foul language in his routines.
Eddie Murphy once told the story about the time when Bill Cosby called him to complain about bad language in his comedy act. Distraught that one of the living legends of this comedy ish would feel the need to chastise him, Murphy called his old buddy Richard Pryor for some moral support. To which Pryor told him not to worry about it and then said do the jokes that make the people laugh: “Do the people laugh when you say what you say?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Do you get paid?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Well, tell Bill I said have a Coke and a smile and shut the F- up. Jello pudding-eating motherf**ker.”
When given the chance, Murphy took the higher road. He still poked fun at Cosby but kept it light and funny.
When Saturday Night Live wrote a skit that hit the scandal harder with Murphy written in to do an impression of him regarding the rape scandal, Murphy declined.
So why didn’t he do it? “Eddie decides the laughs are not worth it. He will not kick a man when he is down,” MacDonald said at the time. “It’s horrible,” Murphy elaborates. “There’s nothing funny about it. If you get up there and you crack jokes about him, you’re just hurting people. You’re hurting him. You’re hurting his accusers. I was like, ‘Hey, I’m coming back to S.N.L. for the anniversary, I’m not turning my moment on the show into this other thing.’ ”
And so, have some class, Sky. If you won't that's OK. But I'm not going into the gutter to see you there.
I must say, tou-che'..
What's it going to take for you to understand?

fdd's posting history shows that the sheskunk content was only more explicit in a cheap semantic fashion, the racism was always there.

I dunno, I didn't know the guy then but nowadays he doesn't seem even one bit racist.
The guy made a few mistakes, went to prison and did his time...
Where's the acceptance and forgiveness?
