I’m going to watch that later tonight. I’m not excusing Bill Cosby for his bad acts, but he wasn’t alone in his misdeeds and that environment tempted otherwise mostly decent people into thinking “Everyone is doing it and we’re protected by all the insiders doing the same.” Then he started talking like a conservative in public by suggesting that black men should be accountable for the children they sire, and TPTB turned on him. The same thing happened to the New York Congressman who was charged and convicted of insider trading, like he was the only one.

———————-

He spoke about black men being accountable prior to the filed charges, in my mind, that makes the charges suspicious, but I also know I could be wrong. Regardless, I have a soft spot for Bill Cosby, that not many share.

What I do know is, Bill Cosby was a great and clean comedian in the 70’s and my little family loved him and quoted him as the occasion called for if you know what I mean, like “inside jokes” that fit a situation.

I recall as a teenager laughing hysterically at his comedy.

I also was very fond of Cosby’s humor.

Same situation with Bill Cosby in my family growing up. My Dad used to play his old records and one was practically worn out from being played so much. It was called “To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With”. All I recall now is the discipline belt that was nine feet long, eight feet wide, had hooks on it, and would rip the meat off your body if it ever hit you. (Nobody had ever seen the belt though.) Other than that scary image, we laughed our little bums off because we were living in similar small quarters with too many naughty and adventurous children in a room. We could relate to Bill and his brother.
