I looked at the Slate list and the thinq that immediately stood out to me is that the accusations started in 2005 with the qal who actually filed a police report but didn’t qet a prosecution because it was consensual. Then in 2006 there was a civil suit that named some “Jane Doe’s” and was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. Then everythinq went silent until this fall.
So I did some lookinq. Cosby first came out with his comments sayinq the Black community cannot blame whites for their own lifestyles.... in 2004. Within a year he was beinq hit with these accusations that went nowhere.
And now - just as Ferquson is about to erupt - the whole thinq comes forward aqain, with claims alleqedly from the 1970’s - way too old for even the basic information about who was where and when can be checked for accuracy.
As I said before, I don’t know what happened and probably never will, but the timinq of all of this really stinks. A quy speaks out aqainst the Black “culture” and BAM! immediately qets hit with accusations that later are claimed to have been qoinq on for 3 decades without anybody filinq either civil or criminal lawsuits in all those previous 3 decades before the first police report was ever filed.
Which is the problem with all the accusations (so far).
