Cosby got what he deserved.

Yes, but the reason he got it was the Pound of Cake Speech. If he had stayed on the liberal plantation, he would be as free today as all the other liberal serial philanderers of color.

He never left that leftist plantation. Claims that he was a “Conservative” were utterly false.

He did say black men needed to take responsibility for their offspring.

No. The reason he got it is that open secrets eventually bite you. Same reason Spacey is getting it.

He’s not the only one to pioneer that thought process. At no point did he ever encourage the Black community to return back to the Republicans. He was an odious hypocrite and wouldn’t even take responsibility for a daughter he fathered (I believe she went to prison, too).
