Cosby Sentence

[Shell B]

Ladies, never once did I state I didn't believe you, or question why one would wait so long, but at the same time, we shouldn't just automatically assume one is guilty because he's accused by any number of women.  When accusers are giving contradicting testimony or caught lying we need to take a step back and be objective.

I agree. I do think you brought up the amount of time between the incident and reporting, but I'm glad we can get past that. The assumption of guilt before a trial shouldn't exist. We can even be dubious after. However, you may have to entertain the idea that Cosby was a serial rapist.

I hate to bring up race, but race has ALWAYS been at the center of issues in America, it is what it is.

I agree. Race is important in cases like these, but only insomuch as we have to investigate whether discrimination occurred. A white woman isn't automatically lying if she accuses a black man. For my part, I've never been assaulted by a black man, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Never in the history of this country has a white woman accused a black man of rape and not been believed. Plenty of men have been lynched, whole black communities have been massacred and burned to the ground over rape ALLEGATIONS (Tulsa, Rosewood ect.). In fact "Black wall street" (Tulsa) was bombed from the air over a white woman accusing a black man of rape.

I wouldn't say never. That's a tall statement. I do agree that it's been a problem, and it's an ugly one. That doesn't mean black men don't rape white women sometimes. There's not a lot of discrimination in the rape game. You like raping, you rape folks.

My next point is going to sound braggadocios, but from my experiences of being an average young single male, I have been approached by plenty of women, and have had sex with plenty of women. I can count on three fingers the amount of times I've approached a woman vs. the amount of time a woman has approached me, again, I'm just average.  If any of those women decided to accuse me of rape, I'd be screwed if not for the statute of limitations, because how would I defend myself after all those years? I couldn't even tell you some of their names, let alone produce any evidence in my defense.

It's highly doubtful that you would be convicted on the testimony of one or two women. It's also highly doubtful that 60 of them would come forward if you didn't actually rape at least some of them.

Cosby was a rich good looking dude so I could only imagine the amount of women he was approached by, added to the claim that he had to drug these women to have sex with them is absurd, again, based on my experience.

That's a stretch. He was a goofy-ass motherfucker, if you ask me.

Is it wrong to ask for evidence to support an accusation of rape?

Nope. It's perfectly fine. It's not perfectly fine to call accusers liars in the process. It's delicate and should be treated that way.
