Andrea Constand, the former director of operations for the Temple University women’s basketball team, files a lawsuit against Cosby, alleging that he drugged and molested her at his home in Pennsylvania in 2004. A local prosecutor had declined to file charges related to the alleged abuse. After Constand’s accusations become public, a second woman, Tamara Green, says on the Today Show that in the 1970s, Cosby gave her pills that knocked her unconscious and then groped her. Court papers in the Constand case mention Green and 12 anonymous women who make similar allegations against the actor and comic. Cosby denies ever molesting any of the women. ***
Isn’t it strange how nobody seemed to be worried about Cosby -- until he started to question the black victim-hood narrative? Then one woman comes forward -- then another comes forward -- on the Today Show?! You know, because the Today Show is where “serious people” go to report crimes.
Cosby made the case that black people have squandered the opportunities that have been laid before them -- he wasn’t wrong.
Because of that, he must be punished. And so, in come the sexual allegations.
It’s always the same.
We’re tired of all the "sexual allegations" already.
Half of Hollywood and the music industry are on the "Diddy List," and nobody is coming forward about that -- right now when there's an investigation! Funny how that works isn't it?
Right. I haven't followed every single thing Cosby has said, but that comment of yours is a good timeline note. I knew from watching The Cosby Show (which he obviously was heavily involved in) that he wouldn't put up with this stuff. And look how much worse the black community got after the show got taken off the air!
There was an interesting study done many years ago in Louisiana. The purpose of the study was to find out how the Vietnamese immigrants were able to build wealth after just one generation, while the indigenous [black] people couldn't, after multiple generations.
The study reviewed education, family situation, available assistance, and pretty much ever difference that one could find.
The author of the study was a black man. He drilled down all of the stats, interviewed dozens of people, and came to a simple conclusion.
There was a reason that the Vietnamese immigrants did much better than the black people already living in the state. The reason was that the Vietnamese immigrants *knew* that nobody was going to help them, and that they were going to have to work hard if they were going to make it.
The study found that most black residents felt that they were owed something, so they were complacent, waiting on help that was never going to come. Fixing their economic issues was someone else's job.
The real difference was one of mindset. One group thought that they were screwed over, and that working hard would never get them anywhere. While the other group worked hard and never "accepted" their fate.
The results of the study were scrutinized by the race hustlers at the time of its publication.
To find that study now would take hours. But, I remember it well because it was honest, and angered a lot of politicians at the time. It broke the idea that government was going to fix the problem(s) within the black community.
Politicians get donations based on the things that they *say* they are going to do -- but don't. If they were actually able to solve problems, the donations would stop. So, the cycle continues.
And you can see how that is exactly what I write about on this Substack. Waiting around like a "victim" waiting for a "Savior" to fix things makes you powerless and keeps you in the "victim" role. It's only when you take personal responsibility that you thrive.
I added in the video of the comic who joked about Cosby and he was pissed that Cosby was telling black men to "act right" (like pulling up pants and looking respectable). I've heard that Cosby would phone other black comedians of the time (like Eddie Murphy) and tell them that they didn't need to swear to be funny. That cohort didn't like him suggesting they do better (take personal responsibility/improve themselves).
The #metoo thing didn't start happening until that comic joked about Cosby. No one had paid it any attention until then. He was the catalyst and that happened because of Cosby telling black men to be respectable. He thought Cosby was on his high horse and needed to be taken down. And, obviously, other people agreed.
"He said, she said" conflicts will always be challenging. I'm a firm believer of "innocent until proven guilty (beyond a shadow of doubt)". The number of accusers means nothing. I've seen some of this happen in the world of photography. There are a lot of "me too" women that will jump on any accusation without any information just to be part of the in crowd.
Cosby certainly was a very talented comedian and actor. And very successful too. It's extremely difficult to believe he needed to drug women against their will. That simply doesn't make sense. Would these women have made the same accusation against a man that wasn't wealthy?
Yes. I forgot to mention that. It doesn't make sense that he would need to rape women. It doesn't make sense that he would need women to be unconscious.
Barbara thank you for this post. When I was a kid we would listen to Mr. Cosby on albums and I remember him on I spy and I think that was another show where he was a positive role model I saw him as equal to his white co star which as an impressionable young child made me think that whites and blacks could have fun and do good stuff together. I still love him.
You're welcome. I'm glad you found it interesting. I can't prove his innocence, but it does seem like there were plenty of reasons for people to embellish.
Scapegoating is a universal phenomenon, so much so that it has been ritualized within religions and is part of every human society. The theologian Rene Girard wrote books about this. He theorized that it exists in order to serve a social function, which is to unite a tribe of people by projecting all negative emotions onto them. The ritual purging of the scapegoat relieves them of the burden of repressed aggression they feel towards one another but cannot express.
This is a Freudian explanation, one that I feel can be applied to describe feminist scapegoating of men and Leftist scapegoating of Trump (among others). But it predates Leftism/Marxism/feminism. You can find it in all cultures and societies, e.g. lynchings and mob violence, witch burnings, antisemitic pogroms, etc. I would add that the MeToo movement and more recently the scapegoating of the so-called unvaxxed and the attacks on Israel by the Left are recent examples in the West.
Does this mean that the casting couch didn't happen? No, it did -- and it still might be happening. People like Harvey Weinstein acted immorally. But his guilt is separate from his status as a symbol of a misandric (man-hating) movement from radical feminists who seek to discredit all men by taking down a few famous ones. I would say Cosby fits that role too: he has become a symbol, which should be regarded as separate from the issue of whether or not he's guilty. Hitler was certainly guilty of terrible crimes against humanity, but in addition to that he is a symbol of ultimate evil. There are both guilty and innocent scapegoats.
If Cosby is guilty (which may well be the case), and the crimes he is alleged to have done cannot be prosecuted because of the statute of limitations and lack of evidence other than testimonies, then I would like to believe that he will pay for this in Hell. God is the ultimate judge, not man. Our justice system is imperfect, despite the noble efforts of people in it to bring about some measure of justice. But having worked in the courts, I know that they become just a grind and principles are tossed out in favor of expediency.
The feminist response has been to resort to public shaming, whether or not it was deserved (some men have been falsely accused). Another issue is proportionality: public shaming (cancelling, doxxing) will ruin a life, which may be out of all proportion to the allegation. The result has been a generation of men fearful to deal with women at all, for fear of being falsely accused. Marriages and relationships and reproduction in the West are at an all time low, which is bad for society. Hatred of men has serious implications, not just for individuals but for society. It also makes women more unhappy as well. The Internet is full of videos of women complaining that they're not approached anymore and are likely to be alone for life. In China, such people are called "leftover" men and women. There are hundreds of millions of them worldwide. It's rather sad.
I don't know if Cosby is guilty or not. It sounds like he is but that the same time, there is an incentive for women to make false allegations for attention. There used to be a societal disincentive to accuse a man of rape, which is wrong to. Now there is an incentive to do so, to claim victim or "survivor" status, and some accusations are false, which even feminists have to admit. At the same time, if he is guilty he will pay for it in the next life. At least I hope that's the case. But if so, divine judgement also applies to us too, to everyone. "No one is righteous, not one" as St. Paul said. I have a hard time believing that Hell is the same for everyone. It may depend on choices made in this life. The Roman Catholic theology of purgatory makes sense -- but who knows. These are speculative ideas.
Thanks for this very detailed response. I, too, had that sense of scapegoating being a part of this. People see someone, hear that person is guilty, and then pounce on the opportunity to make fun of or hate on that person. It's like an excuse to hate and feel better about oneself.
Gosh, yes, Hitler has become another scapegoat. People have lost all vision of any humanity in him and therefore feel totally entitled to get out their hate on him to feel better about themselves.
I get angry with the feminist over-aggressiveness (accusing innocent people) and out-of-proportion anger as well. I get angry because I want to be able to find a man and so many men DO avoid women these days. It's a sad state of affairs where feminists who purport to "help" women, are actually hurting their chances of finding someone/happiness. I've not been approached by a man in person since high school.
I believe Paul to be anti-christ, and Christ's teachings were that we could be without sin. Also I wrote on Substack about the lake of fire (from a new age view) and I do think people have to "pay" for their sins unless they repent, but I don't believe in eternal hell... but that's a mighty big digression to this topic...

I was going to suggest you look into Michael Jackson but you slipped it in at the end. His story makes zero sense when you can look back & see the manipulation- but hindsight is 20/20. The hidden details of the Cosby story is eye opening.
I forget what video I watched on MJ, but I believe it was over an hour-long documentary and it looked very shady. I came away thinking he was innocent also. I wish I could remember the name of it because I was going to link it. But there are so many documentaries on MJ's accusations that I couldn't find it quickly.
I fell for all of the stories destroying a celebrity via sex assault, pedophelia etc because at the time they were shocking & presented as verified. Now being able to get information/knowledge from sources outside the controlled msm I am no longer shocked & very aware of their basic old tricks that no longer work. Of course their bag of deceptions is deeper & we still get fooled (calley/casey means). Liam Scheff’s book “Official Stories; Counter Arguments for A Culture in Need” started me down this questioning path 2 years ago. Have you read it? If not check it out…(oh & btw he commiited suicide).
I added it to my wish list for now. Thanks. Yeah, I thought the MJ thing was real while I was growing up because I believed the MSM for so long. Now the MSM has lost all of their trustworthiness, I can't believe anything they say as "gospel" without checking other sources.
It’s super fast read & each chapter touches on a different approved narrative so you can pick it up & put it down. It made me question 9/11 for the first time. However the HIV chapter, if you can believe it was even more shocking to me. I really enjoyed the chapter about Shakespeare. The sleuthing on that piece is so up your alley.
Morally, Bill Cosby's actions--actions which he has admitted performing--are indefensible.
Extramarital sexual relations are not moral.
The use of recreational drugs is not moral (the moral duty we owe to ourselves of self care precludes such behavior).
There is no moral argument to be made on Bill Cosby's behalf as regards these actions--again, actions which he has admitted performing.
HOWEVER
Man's laws do not establish moral guilt. Man's courts can only adjudicate a presentation of evidence within the context of man's laws.
Therein lies the dilemma. The testimony against Bill Cosby does not present him in any favorable light, but neither does it present his accusers in any favorable light.
Cosby's accusers, by their own testimony, sought to curry favor with Cosby in hopes it would have beneficial effect on their acting careers. To that end--again, by their own testimony--Cosby's accusers agreed to meet with Bill Cosby in a private and arguably intimate setting.
I submit the sexual inferences arising from such conduct are unavoidable--and they are not charitable to either Bill Cosby or to his accusers.
As ungentlemanly as Bill Cosby's conduct undeniably was, we should not lose sight of the reality that his accusers' conduct was also unladylike.
As has already been noted, the accusers have a further problem--none of them chose to come forward immediately after the alleged assault.
It is worth noting that these women opted to come forward in the twilight of BIll Cosby's career, at a time when his influence in Hollywood was arguably in its inevitable decline.
Can we be sure that his accusers, having sought to exploit his influence within Hollywood for their own material gain once, did not seek to further exploit the decline of that influence through these accusations?
Morally, Bill Cosby has no defense.
Legally, Bill Cosby has reasonable doubt against his accusers.
Bill Cosby and his wife, Camille, are still together (https://youtu.be/jMHwqUQk7Lw). It may be that they had an agreement for an open marriage. I suppose you could say it's not right in God's eyes, but I don't know that he hid anything from his wife.
I don't know that recreational drugs are immoral either. The bible talks about people drinking wine. However, it seems to be against drinking too much. It might be difficult for us to gauge if he crossed that line unless he's talked about something particular I haven't seen.
You wrote, "Cosby's accusers, by their own testimony, sought to curry favor with Cosby in hopes it would have beneficial effect on their acting careers." You should say "SOME of Cosby's accusers."
I listened to one woman's interview and she didn't say anything about that. She just went to have a good time, I believe. She laughed about the time with her husband. Then years later, after hearing the accusations, remembered throwing up after waking (while sleeping at his place) and decided she had been drugged.
Yes. I think there's reasonable doubt as to the rapes.
If they can't prove it in court, it's not up to us to judge. That's God's business.
Transported to distopian world? I'd say we jumped 3 time lines since 2019. I think we've settled in a realm of balance, we've all gotta push towards the positive.
Cosby began to criticize Ebonics and the black victim-hood mentality. That's when all the BS came down.
