Exactly. It was after he got famous for that “pull up your pants” speech to young black men that he was targeted.
Oh yeah, Hannibal Burress mentioned he was a rapist in his stand up act!
He imitated Cosby saying “pull up your pants,” but then added “ but you’re a rapist though.” It took off after that.
Maybe you are correct! But he ( Cos) is still guilty.
I myself would not have gone anywhere near him, career or no career.
