This guy has been getting away with it for 45 years. That's the amazing part.

Or so say Cosby apologists.

$$. Attention , career move, story to sell etc. she is not the first who really seem to have no other possible angle except to speak the truth.
Think of how many others for what ever reason can't come forward! This guy was sick and serial at this pt of knowledge

many women were willing to essentially enable him to do it to other women by not reporting it and now because of how long ago the majority of these cases date back to he probably wont ever see a day in prison so justice probably will never be done.

for this pervert, THAT is a form of justice in itself

Mr. Cosby has long been an advocate of reason and a voice raising the concerns of black America.

That he was a scumbag all along has done damage in more ways than one.

....like, advising young black men to pull up their pants while he was.......drugging and raping women

honestly, he has to be true sociopath

He was a leader in black America and has advocated for our people in public while he abused women in private.

I don't think he was ever seen as a voice of black America, except by right wingers who applauded him.

You're either delusional, kidding yourself or out of touch.

Cosby has had plenty of admiring black audiences.

He was constantly being held up as a person of color to emulate. I know, I'm old enough to remember.

He's the "whitest" black comedian that ever lived. Even Flip Wilson is like Lenny Bruce compared to Bill Cosby.

You're either delusional, kidding yourself or out of touch.

I see. Hence, I can allege someone is a spokesperson for the white community, and should anyone tell me differently, I can simply say (or more accurately, merely allege) they are delusional, kidding themselves or just out of touch...

as Pat Boone is to Rock and Roll. Aside from the lascivious jokes about slipping women Spanish Fly, of course.

Dick Gregory, Cosby is not.

It would be even sweeter if his wife divorces him after these seemingly weekly cases dwindle.

How many times have we seen the old "stand by your man" routine take this route when the heat dies down?



Cher

long ago these cases are I doubt that will ever happen.
Heck the majority of them are so far back that they cant even go after him for civil damages either so they cant even get justice that way.

certainly not optimal

the man creeped me out even when he was doing his Dr. H schtick - I've never been able to stand him

It always seemed a bit odd that to me he specifically chose Gynecology as Dr. Huxtable's specialty on that show. I can't think of another sitcom where a lead doctor character wasn't anything other than a general practitioner of some kind. You know, so that they could interact with a variety of wacky personalities of all different ages and genders.

According to at least one account, Coz would set up a "scene" in an OB/GYN's office that his prospects could then "audition" in. That is really messed up.

by an acquaintance or a person you admire? I'm thinking no, or you would not use the "enable" word so flippantly... I'm tempted to say, ignorantly.

reporting it when it happened to them.
If even one had come forward say back in the 80s even it could very well have saved other women from having to go through it but they didnt.

Uh, no.

Look up the word enabler and it fits
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/enabler

one that enables another to achieve an end; especially : one who enables another to persist in self-destructive behavior (as substance abuse) by providing excuses or by making it possible to avoid the consequences of such behavior

to take on one of the most powerful people in their industry at the time. They did what they needed to do for their own safety and healing.

Little known fact: having some creep force their dick into you doesn't make you responsible for anything they do with their dick from that day forward.

The sort of gaslighting and victim blaming you're engaged in is exactly what keeps victims quiet. And I suspect that's the point.

doing to other women.

Date rape wasn't even considered a crime in 1969. Hell, it pretty much isn't now. This was a man with power and money. I do not blame his victims, I blame him and the other individuals who knew and covered it up for him. It's shocking. But fundamentally, the charges have been around for a while and it took a man believing them to make them go viral. Remember that.

You have no idea what it's like for a rape victim who reports the crime, do you.

Not only is it another terrible ordeal, but the chances are good the police or district attorney will do nothing, years ago the victim's reputation would have been ruined, likely she'd have lost her job and often any chance at marriage. And she would have accomplished nothing. No one would have taken her word against Cosby's.

You must be young and completely clueless. And your post is unintentionally, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt, vicious.

"I am giving you the benefit of the doubt, vicious..."

I think you're being far too generous to individuals who cower behind the cover of implication...

Wow.

and if or when he's found guilty he needs to be removed from society, like in a jail cell somewhere.

I know I'll never watch his sorry ass again

You don't think maybe it has happened more recently? Maybe someone will come forward. What is the statute of limitations anyway?
