A question about rape: Why is it, when men speaks out about a rape from a powerful man years after it happened, most people are sympathetic to the victims and thinks that man should burn hell? They also understand why it took them so long to speak up. But When women speak out years later about being raped by a powerful man, then all of a sudden we start to question their integrity, credibility, and of course their sexual history? I haven’t said much about Bill Cosby. What I will say is this: Too many people are acting like they KNOW who #BillCosby is and what he’s capable of merely from watching the Cosby show and pudding pop commercials. But Bill Cosby is not “Heathcliff Huxtable”. That was a character on a show. As an actor who meets many people in this industry, you would be surprised at how many people you LOVE on television are complete and total scumbags in real life. Was he a great comedian? Yes. Did I love that show? Yes. Did “A Different World” make me want to go to college? Yes. Did he put a lot of black people through college? Yes. Is he a rapist??? YES!!! Just because you don’t want to let go of a part of your childhood, doesn’t mean reality isn’t happening. 15 women, or more, aren’t lying. Maybe 3 of them are (opportunists are real), but at least 12 of them aren’t. If someone gets that many rape allegations, and settles out of court for countless more, and we STILL doubt that they’re a rapist…we are preventing women from feeling the freedom to try and fight rape from powerful men in the future. Is there an attack on black men in the media in order to make the country as a whole feel like the shootings of black men are justified??? ABSOLUTELY! But we must know when to play that hand. It waters down our movement when we protect the wolves among us. OUR PRESIDENT is being attacked. Bill Cosby is being EXPOSED. -- source link
