There is clearly a divide of opinion in regard to Black men and Black women on Cosby. Black women see him as guilty, and Black men see him as someone the system is trying to come down on; more so being that he's another black man that has caught a case. Black men are more likely to defend Black men for crimes; plus considering 60% of Black women have been sexually assaulted, may be the reasons for the difference of opinion. Patriarchy.

I just think its funny how when Bill Cosby did his little speech on Black Americans white people were loving him for it, he was their good negro. The good Negro who was saying everything they wanted to say, but couldn't cause their white. Now these same whites have abandon him, all as a means to protect their white angels.
The Black community didn't have anything to do with Cosby for years now, so it's interesting to see so many Black men defending him; yet, this is the same man who said the average black boy in America don't even know how to speak English. I'm not surprised by any of the projections; we see everyday how obsessed black men are with white women, or any woman who is not black. We also see how such women are used to promote white supremacy in men of other races. Cosby defiantly had an obsession with white women, while being married to a black woman.
I see it as the chicken's coming home to roost.
The bolded is standard procedure.
Beyond that per the article 60% of black females are sexually assaulted by black men by age 18.
Since there are more black women than black men, are we to deduce that OVER 60% of black men are rapist? Or or there a few black males raping 60% of black females by age 18.
So possibly 6 out of 10 black male posters on the IC are sexual assaulters?
these bitches bout to come to the room to get sexually assaulted..
hopefully 40 yrs from now they dont see me on tho. lol
You're wrong for that. I'm calling the police.
Anyhow, I understand your argument.
I hope Bill is innocent, and not because I have anything personally vested in Bill being innocent, but because he means a great deal to people. But, I don't believe he's innocent and in that case the women he violated deserve justice. However, for that to be an option the 'Janice Dickinsons' etc. need to stay the fuck out of it.
I'm willing to acknowledge his feats as well as his foibles(flaws). I'm also willing to acknowledge the systematic and well documented persecution of black-males. But, if I'm being objective I have to consider women as a marginalized demographic, I have to consider the context of peoples' (men/women) sovereignty over there own bodies in both instances. And that women are still fighting for that sovereignty. (This is not to say women are bereft of power or choice.)
Black men are railroaded by the injustice system, and women are treated as disposable cum-dumpsters.
Some bitches--for whatever reason--are really with it, more power to them. But for those that aren't, they deserve a word. If a woman feels she was violated, then she was violated and I don't get to police her reaction or selectively measure the degree of the wrong.
This shit goes beyond "well that bitch made a bad choice."
These women didn't get high on their own, then get the behind the wheel, and drive themselves into a wall. They didn't just slip and a fall on a dick. That shit was orchestrated by Pill Cosby. Some may have consented and been cool with the results. Some of these women might just be out for the fame. Some of these women probably had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
I'm not looking to change anyone's opinion, just clarify my own. In the end how we feel about this shit is entirely subjective and neither side of the argument will find validation one way or the other.
