TO BILL COSBY DEFENDERS

.

I'd like to point out to Bill Cosby's ardent defenders that this isn’t Cliff Huxtable, or “America’s dad,” that your defending, this is Bill Cosby, a turkey who had a wife and young family, yet spent more time at the Playboy mansion than Hugh Hefner. He also had a penchant for speaking down to Black people as though we were children. When he was flying high and deluding himself into believing that he was an honorary member of the "White Elitist Society," he said the following in his infamous "Pound Cake" rant:
.
"Looking at the incarcerated, these are not political criminals. These are people going around stealing Coca-Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! And then we all run out and are outraged, 'The cops shouldn't have shot him!' What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand?"
.
Well, maybe he was hungry, Bill.  Does that warrant the death penalty?  On the other hand, you were stealing something of a lot more value than pound cake, so let me ask you the same question - what the hell were you doing with Quaaludes in your hand?  So don't try to look all sad and put-upon now, because you're the one who set the standard by which you're now being judged.
.
Bill was rich, beloved, and famous, so he might have easily been able to get consensual sex from many of the 62 women (count ‘em SIXTY-TWO!!!) who have come out against him. But he didn’t want that. He wanted to drug them and steal it - in other words, RAPE THEM.  That was a part of his bigoted perversion - he didn’t just want to have sex, he wanted to humiliate and shame them.  And yes, it was bigotry. Male supremacy is a more rampant form of bigotry in this society than even White supremacy, because, as the Cosby case clearly demonstrates, even Black males engage in it, but it’s so routine that most of us have simply accepted it as a way of life.
.
Think about it - even as we’re screaming about Bill Cosby being treated unfairly due to his race, we don’t seem to give a damn about the SIXTY-TWO woman who are complaining about his bigoted male perversion against them; we want to slut-shame them instead - that's bigotry. So congratulations, now you know the mindset of White jurors who let murderous cops go free after they shoot down innocent Black people in the street like dogs. Thus, you don’t have to be White to be a bigot - you’re just a different kind of bigot.

COSBY JUROR EXPLAINS HIS VOTE

.
USA Today reported that “For Juror No. 1 in Bill Cosby's retrial, it was the comedian/actor's own admission that he drugged women that helped the juror determine Cosby was guilty on three counts of aggravated indecent assault.
.
“Snyder pinpointed Cosby's 2005 deposition as the evidence that pointed him towards guilty. In a 2005 deposition, Cosby acknowledged he acquired drugs, including the now-banned sedative quaaludes, to give to women he sought for sex. Cosby also acknowledged he repeatedly engaged in extramarital sexual relationships with young women he met as one of the most popular and powerful men in Hollywood.
.
“‘Cosby admitted to giving these quaaludes to women — young women, in order to have sex with them,’ Snyder told ABC News correspondent Lindsey Davis.”

.
So what we’ve got to realize - both Black people and White - is if you’re against bigotry, you must be against ALL bigotry, and the bigotry of male supremacy is just as bigoted and wrong as White supremacy, and anyone who can’t see that - whether they be Black or White - is just as much a bigot as those who lynched Black people in the South.

Religious bigotry: It's not that I hate everyone who doesn't look, think, and act like me - it's just that God does.
