America’s
dad now says racism is the reason he’ s in prison.
Bill Cosby,
a cultural icon in the late 20th century, has changed his tune now
that an appeal has been granted in his 2018 sexual assault conviction. Now he
cites a racially slanted judicial system and the unjust treatment of African
Americans by police for his plight. It isn’t about the dozens of women who
claim he drugged them in order to have sex…..it’s about his color.
Let us not
forget the years immediately after his highly successful television show when
he went on a lecture tour using the lessons of his success to critique African
American culture. He called out blacks for focusing too much on claims of
discrimination and racism. He rebuked them for their status in society and
argued that personal responsibility was his key to success.
My, things
have changed.
Now it has
nothing to do with responsibility. He was framed because he’s black.
Sixty women
have accused him of using drugs and his celebrity to take advantage of them.
They were from all walks of life, mostly younger than him…and mostly white. He
actually admitted in a 2005 deposition that he gave Quaaludes to young women he
wanted to bed.
But now the
82-year-old comedian says it is all about his race, not his actions. It has
nothing to do with responsibility.
It is about
race, not evidence….
…which has
worked before as a legal strategy.
Ask O.J.
