MORE THOUGHTS ON WHY THIS BLACK MAN HAS NO SYMPATHY FOR
BILL COSBY

When Bill was flying high and deluding himself into believing that his money and fame made him 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.
.

It's now being asked would you be in your current position if you were White?  Well, maybe, and maybe not.  But that’s not the issue here.  The issue is whether or not you actually committed what you're alleged to have done to these 60 (count ‘em - SIXTY!) women - period.  If you’re found guilty of this crime - and personally, I think you are - that’s a form of bigotry as well.  It’s called sexism, or misogyny, so you're in no position to be whining about discrimination.  If you were a White homosexual accused of abusing 60 Black men in the exact same manner, the narrative would be completely different.  There'd be demonstrations all over this country screaming for your head.  So why should we be any less outraged over what you’re alleged to have done to these women?
.
America really needs to wake up - and especially Black people.  Sexual bigotry is just as disgusting as racial bigotry. In spite of the fact that if many of us had to depend on our father's to stand by us as children we would have long since starved to death, women are not only discriminated against as Black people, but as women, and not only by the White establishment, but by America as a whole - and that includes the Black community.  While we no longer tolerate the use of the "N-word" in this society, we don't hesitate to put out videos that are disseminated all over the world calling Black women "bitches" and hoes"as entertainment - and these are videos created by Black men!  So I don't want to hear a damn thing about you being discriminated against, not in this case, because if you're found guilty of the charges lodged against you, you're just as much of a bigot as the Grand Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. You're just a different kind of bigot.
.

Think about this, Bill. What if some perverted bigot did the exact same thing to your daughter?  I don’t know about you, but as “America’s favorite dad” I’m sure you’ll understand when I tell you  that if  you’d abused my daughter in that way, you wouldn’t have even made it to court.  So if you’re found guilty of these serial RAPES (and let’s call a hat a hat, that’s what it was), I hope they throw your perverted ass UNDER the jail, “America's favorite dad” or not, “good brother.”  You deserve it, because on top of what you did to these women, you’re a hypocrite, and a pig of a husband as well.

WHY I DON’T CRITICIZE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS EQUALLY

WHY I DON’T CRITICIZE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS EQUALLY
.

Let’s get this silly non-issue settled once and for all. Black people vote Democratic because it's in our best interest and we recognize that the Republican Party is toxic to the Black community. While the Democratic Party is not everything we'd like it to be, at least it's not working against our interest.
.
Common sense dictates that we have to prioritize our efforts. And while the Democrats may be the Bogeyman, the Republicans are the Devil, so it would be highly imprudent to criticize both parties equally. If we did that we would be dividing the Black vote and lending comfort to the GOP, who are leaving no stone unturned to reverse the Civil Act.
.
So people like Tavis Smiley and Cornel West need to just put the silly argument that Black people are blindly following President Obama to rest. It suggests that Black people are stupid. So if they can’t contribute something constructive to the national dialogue, they need to just shut up.
.
The Black community has been trying to send them that message for a few years now, but they’ve been thumbing their nose at us, and every time we look up they’re denigration yet another high-profile Black person. They've both become serial offenders in that regard. It's gotten to the point where even if they said something relevant it would be ignored, because they've become renowned for their petty, spiteful, irrelevance. West's latest racist slander is calling MSNBC the "Rent a Negro Network" - consider what an uproar that would cause if a White person said that. So yet again, West is being divisive, racist, and engaging in nonconstructive mudslinging.
.
It's not clear whether West is struggling to remain relevant, or he's merely becoming senile.That's not our problem. But the fact that he and Tavis Smiley have become a liability to the Black community is very much our problem, so it's time to take the gloves off and actively go after these two.
.
Yes, they have the right to their opinion, but when they begin to hurt the Black community by making us all look stupid, it’s time for us to shut them down and boycott any, and everything, they’re involved in. Only then, will we actually see just how important their opinion is to them. Frankly, I think they’re much more interested in their pocket.
.
While these two are hard at work trying to divide the Obama coalition, the Republicans are actively engaged in trying to obstruct the Black vote, obstruct all legislation that could possibly provide jobs in the Black community and America as a whole, they’re trying to circumvent the United States Constitution and women’s right to privacy by invading a woman’s uterus, they’re trying to obstruct the rights of gays, they’ve disenfranchised Michigan voters by firing duly elected officials and replacing them with handpicked cronies who are completely unaccountable to the people, and they're applauding the murderer of an innocent and unarmed Black child. I could go on for pages, but I’m sure I've made my point. The GOP is, literally, the domestic enemy of the American people.
.
On the other hand, much of what we’re complaining about with regard the Democrats is our own fault, because we've allowed ourselves to become so distracted by hedonistic pursuits that we're leaving the store unattended, so it's no wonder we're having problems.
.
But again, Tavis and West aren't adding one constructive thought to the discussion. On the contrary - they seem to be delighted by the situation, because our misery provides them the opportunity to advocate that we cut off our head to cure a hangnail, when all we actually have to do is take a page from the Tea Party and start voting a few people out of office during the primaries.
.
We need to start with congress, because they control the purse strings.  If certain Democratic legislators are unresponsive to our condition, we should vote them out of office during the primaries, and then run someone who is more cognizant and observant of our needs. That’s what the Tea Party does, and that’s exactly why Republican politicians are scared to death of this small handful of people. We should follow suit and do the exact same thing, because to even entertain the suggestion that Black people become more bipartisan - or do anything else to dilute our vote in the general election - is total lunacy, because to dilute our vote, is to dilute our power.
.
Thus, the very first thing we should do is put everybody on notice by making it unquestionably clear that we’re fed up with the nonsense - and the best way to do that is by shutting Tavis Smiley and Cornel West completely down as a clear and unequivocal message to their admiring clones, wannabes, and obsequious minions in the wings. Because even as we speak these people are watching, learning, and preparing to follow in their divisive and self-serving footsteps.
.
It's time for the Black community to start cleaning house, and the most appropriate place to start is with these two self-appointed, unelected, omens of self-destruction.
