Comedian Damon Wayans stuns radio host with defense of Bill Cosby: ‘B*tches’ were ‘un-rape-able’

Source: Raw Story

<snip>

“If I was him, I would divorce my wife, wink wink, give her all my money, and then I would go to a deposition, I’d light one of them three-hour cigars, I’d have me some wine, and maybe a Quaalude, and I would just go off, because I don’t believe he was raping,” Wayans said.

“I think he was in relationships with all of them, and then he’s like, ‘You know what, it’s 78, I can’t get it up for any of y’all, bye bitches,'” he continued. “And now they’re like, ‘Oh, really? Rape.’ Forty years — listen, how big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years?”

<snip>

“And some of them, really, is un-rape-able. I look at them and go, ‘No, he don’t want that. Get outta here!’” He later added, “Look, I understand fame. I’ve lived it. Women will throw themselves at you. They just want to be in your presence. There’s some that innocently will come up there, but not 40-something women. They’re not that naïve.”

Wayans later backtracked, saying if some of the some of teh women who claim they were sexually assaulted, “And for them, my heart goes out to them. For anybody who was raped by Bill Cosby, I’m sorry, and I hope you get justice,” however he wasn’t done attacking, once again calling women “bitches” and wondering why Cosby would rape a drugged woman, saying: “What’s the joy of banging someone that’s asleep?”

How much money is involved? How much money has Cosby paid him? I still haven't heard one member of the "Cosby Show" cast trash him. They made lots of money because of him. So it's doubtful they'll do anything but defend him. So it makes me wonder about Wayans.

He had to be high or something.

I mean even if you think some of that foolishness to be true, if you're sober you have to know to keep mouth shut.

He could be the next Michael Richards, never to be heard from again.

I think he was trying to do edgy comedy and he just sucked!

I saw him at The Comedy Club in the 80s, he was doing similar annoying shit and he lost the crowd. Richard Belzer was hosting and the tried to make it as a we don't get black humor thing. Then Sam Kinison came out and royally sucked, over the top obnoxious suck and he lost the crowd. He tried the "you guys don't get it shit" one guy screamed no it is because you guys suck. He started going after the guy and about 1/3rd of us stood up and walked out.

I think they just all got on a really dark mean roll and lost it. And I am talking statements that in no way were funny, rather something you might punch a guy for if he said it on the street.

Left out from this story but included in the interview:

“He started criticizing young black men and then he lost us, and so we’re not supporting him and they see that opening,” Wayans said. “So now, you know what? ‘Attack him! Kill him!’ But the dude from 7th Heaven, his show’s still on TV. Woody Allen’s making shows and movies. I just don’t believe this. It’s a money hustle.”

and, as for Woody, the situation isn't remotely comparable.

The accusations of one notoriously dishonest and vindictive ex-wife made in a divorce hearing (which the courts found to be of no merit) do not equal 50+ women coming forward to accuse Cosby with creepily similar tales.

Wayans is an idiot.

Now that it is raised, I think it is a combination of the fact that Bill Cosby is not only better known, but for many years the symbol of good fatherhood and to some extent a latter day Booker T. Washington. By that I mean, (some? Most?) whites perceived him as telling young black men to pull up their pants and get a job. SO, it's a combination of racism, reputation and popularity.

In Living Color was mean-spirited, misogynistic, horribly homophobic and loved to poke fun at the handicapped.

The Scary Movie series was equally nasty.
