Nah, he was just not guilty.
NBC employee claims Bill Cosby paid off women, invited young models to dressing room.

Legit wants to know.
You believe he molested the kids based on accusations/courts or just the moral part of him having kids sleep overs? Or both?
You said this isn’t a MJ situation. Meaning you can understand people supporting MJ getting off? Why?

As far as the known accusations against MJ, all that **** is suspect with the parents all going for money first before justice. I don't believe them. Then those who were made to lie.
If you're asking me if MJ is a pedophile, I dunno he seems like a creepy dude who I wouldn't obviously sleep in the same room but thats part of why I say its not the same as Cosby no sane parent is gonna pose the hypothetical of would you have your child sleep in the same bed with MJ or let MJ babysit.
Why you letting your child be around a stranger at all, celeb or not? That aint the same as would you be cool with your daughter or sister or mother take a drink from Bill DrugEmThenRapeEm Cosby.
Its also not the same as Bill Cosby for the clear differences in how things transpired.

Had to be a spot in ATL
Even though they doing too much with "welcome home party" Marc Lamont Hill is one of these corny extreme democrat _'s. Roland Martin the same way. They talk about racism real safe but when it comes to other black people they drop the professional act.

The "defending" of MJ was definitely more tolerated around here than the assumption of "defending" Cosby.
But go head and hit me with the "whataboutism" card and/or accuse me of defending Cosby in this statement. That's what yall do best.
Again, it's hilarous when we pick and choose to believe victims over the accused.
I don't get it.

Mike was definitely crossing the line and needed somebody to him this is not cool having young kids at your house but those kids and their parents were proven liars. They kept changing their stories. They admitted they were lying when they got older. The parents was caught in phone conversations lying.

It wasn't just a "yes" answer that he gave.
Read excerpts from Cosby's 2005-2006 quaalude deposition
Bill Cosby is due in court Tuesday so a judge can decide whether there's enough evidence to send 12-year-old sex-assault accusations to trial in suburban Philadelphia.

Point out who in this thread argued otherwise.
Read the excerpt above and tell me if despite the judgment in court, you'll let this man around female relatives/friends you care about. None of you want to answer this simple question: do you trust Cosby to not slip quaaludes in your sister's drink if he likes her enough? Can we reasonably argue that he doesn't know what those pills did to the body?
You hold the proceedings of the legal system in such a high regard when time and time again, people with the means to do so use its own rules to get away from justice. Petty criminals and white collar fraudsters walk out of court every day because prosecutors can't prove they're doing what they're accused of. I've acknowledged the fairness of it because the system is far from perfect and such outcomes are better than jailing people who actually are innocent.
My only objection has been for those who celebrate Cosby, because it shows that they're not really looking for a better legal system for all; they just want to be on the winning side of an imperfect justice system, and this position is used by those who overwhelmingly benefit from the current system to justify their opposition to reforms that would improve our laws (see Pat Robertson's speech about CRT, specifically the part regarding the whip).
That's what I meant by penny wise and pound foolish.

My risk aversion has nothing to do with whether or not someone is a rapist or guilty of sexual assault. That’s a strawman.
Also, you posted the testimony where he mostly responded “yes” to lengthy questions in a deposition.
He didn’t admit to sexual assault or rape in any of what you posted. Period.
Also, where is the slipping quaaludes in someone’s drink narrative coming from? Did you make it up?

I don't understand why that even matters anyway...it just seems like a disingenuous way to downplay Cosby's own admissions
When the deposition asked him if he gave powerful sedatives to women before having sex with them, why does his affirmative response need to be a 500 word essay for us to make the determination that he was doing something untoward?

This would require a pretty lengthy discussion about how depositions work and about how direct vs. cross examination questioning works.
But basically, asking someone “what happened” and letting them answer let’s the witness talk. A good lawyer, like the one who deposed Cosby, will ask leading questions to get a yes response. That way the lawyer can frame the question how they want and less is coming from the witness and more is coming from the lawyer. It’s a tactic that is used often on cross examination. It’s objectionable on direct because it’s leading the witness to an answer.
It is as persuasive as an individual would like it to be. It was used to convict Cosby so it was obviously persuasive to the jury that convicted him.
But that is why I mentioned the distinction in the type of testimony.

Idk. I think it would be easier to embrace his innocence had not ended looking & acting weird. I do know that I couldn’t bring myself to walk around wearing his Supreme shirt I brought w/ him on it w/o feeling bad despite liking it. Take that however u want, but I’m still confused.

He Donated 20 Million to Spelman college and I believe he’s made a number of other significant donations to other HBCU’s as well.
Saying he’s done nothing but criticize is inaccurate.

Here's my take on ol' Billy; maybe SOME of the women are lying and just want money. But he's been accused by 60+ women. It seems absurd that somehow this is just some coordinated effort against him by all these different people spanning across decades just because he's rich. If that was the case, we'd see the same thing for every wealthy Black celebrity.
Like even if half are lying, that's still 30 women. Not to mention sexual assault and rape is drastically underreported by women because they're scared.
Bill is a piece of **** and should still be in jail.

Those women would have let him smash sober but Cosby has some sick twisted fetish for sexing helpless bodies. Wouldn’t be shocked if he had cadavers in the freezer. Legit weirdo man…and let’s not even get on MJ

Just like R. Kelly and his fetish for young girls and being recording sexual acts with them.
The fact that his wife knew and sometimes was in the house is still mind blowing to me.
