Wait are you saying that rape is extremely under-reported, mishandled by police forces everywhere and that if you're enough of a celebrity you can commit a laundry list of The Worst Crimes and nobody will care



Oh wait a conspiracy thats a much more likely scenario

That's my point. I'll bet you a majority of men with Cosby's level of power have done poo poo that would make you think they're a real sick gently caress. So it's easy to get rid of someone you don't like.

I figured it out the other day. Bill Coby is not even a human being at all but instead an alien in the form of a human, or rather a series of aliens trading off their other lives to play the Cos. This is why you get the dichotomy between rapist bill and dad-Cos, conflict behind the scenes. imo the good cos got forced out of the job and the rapist(s) took over full time to further the ploy and distract america from their presence on earth

Yeah like a million years ago. For the last few decades his role in society has been mostly to say things that Rush Limbaugh (or whoever) can hold up as examples of "my racist views aren't really racist because here is a prominent black man that agrees with me".

More interesting is women have come forward with these allegations before but all of a sudden it's a media story. Why do we care now if we didn't then?

Only thing strange is that none of the accusations so far have been within the statute of limitations.

I am not arguing that he is not a rapist. I take issue with the fact that it seemed to come out of nowhere despite being known for years, as well as the fact that we let known rapists/pedophiles such as bill Clinton or woody Allen off the hook.

I didn't let any sexual criminal off the hook? What do you mean "we"?

I think this came out because some higher profile women started being more public with it and raising a big stink over it and the media ran with it? Unless it was a reptilian conspiracy or something and I'm totally missing the point.

I think most of America had such fond and nostalgic memories of "Mr. Huxtable" that they didn't want to think about any of this, until the evidence became overwhelming. Plus Cosby allegedly had a history of intimidating the women if he could, and settling out of court if he couldn't, and that's only the women who would come forward at all. Most probably just wanted to forget it ever happened and didn't want to face the trauma of publicizing it against such a powerful and beloved figure. I think it all makes perfect sense that it unfolded the way it did.

That's the thing though, to me, that's a weak explanation, Hannibal Burress.

According to Patton Oswalt and Roseanne Barr, literally everyone in comedy circles has known about this forever. It was an open secret. And you had cases brought up against Cosby years and years before any of this, and nobody gave a poo poo.

Why did the media never run with any of this before? Why did none of these women come forward? It's all because some random comedian had a 30 second bit about it in one of his sets? How many people off the street would even know who Hannibal Burress was before this happened?

There's an interview with Janice dickenson on Howard Stern from like 10 years ago where she talked about Bill Cosby doing stuff to her and she cut herself off saying she'd get in trouble.

I think there is a lot of mental gymnastics going on for white people who are outraged at Cosby, a black man, but are pretty ambivalent and go on about separating the artist from his work when watching Polanski films.

I personally believe that he was a genuine serial rapist.

It's more how this all happened that seems 'off' to me. Why was this known but not cared about for so long? And now it just comes out of nowhere. And Cosby was one of the most powerful black men in the US. I've been toying with the idea that someone was sitting on this information and decided they needed to silence him for whatever reason. Seems like very many prominent black leaders in this country end up with tarnished reputations, or dead.

Because one comedian came up with a routine to bash Cosby after finding this out himself, specifically calling out the fact people ignored it, and that poo poo spread like a forest fire.

Cosby'd been done many years ago if the internet was a thing.

He was about to come out with a new TV show OP and someone wanted to gently caress him over. Whether or not the allegations were true, that's why they came out with them so heavily when they did IMO
