I've been called a rape apologist and a detestable human being a number of timed in this thread, so apparently y'all have seen something I haven't. Im just asking what evidence have you seen that proves a rape occured?
This wasn't a trial I followed but clearly there was enough evidence that the jury of his peers found him guilty. This is what we have to go on. The trial is over. By all means it isn't wrong to call him a rapist since, IIRC, that's what one of the charges was that he was found guilty of.
So, really, I'm not going to go searching for anything. He got a trial and was convicted based on the evidence and testimony presented within.
I'm quite sure his lawyers will appeal so we'll have to wait for that outcome.

How do you know it doesn't exist if you haven't looked for it?

I've been called a rape apologist and a detestable human being a number of times in this thread by white supremacist suspects, for questioning the trial. So apparently y'all have seen something I haven't. Im just asking what evidence have you seen that proves a rape occured?

I guess it's lost in you that Hitler declared the Japanese honorary Aryans.
That being said, if the term "rape apologist" is going to get tossed around, for no reason, I'll play along...

So you agree with my point then? you don't have to be white to be a white supremacist...
Lol.
You do know what 'honorary' means, right? You do understand that murderous dictators make exceptions of sorts for those who are seen as useful, right? You do understand that 'Aryan' is not necessarily a synonym for 'white supremacist' (except among Nazis and other white supremacists), right?
And yes, I suppose that one can be a white supremacist and not be white; I saw the Chapelle episode. Aside from comedy sketches, however, I doubt you will find much of that among sane non-whites, who aren't on the make in white dominated societies.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Ah so you HAVE done research then, fair enough.
I mean I'm new here, so maybe I'm missing the point to this thread and some of your responses. Your argument seems very much "this needs to be looked into again, because he's a black man who's been convicted due to some sort of white person agenda" which in fairness I understand to an extent (and I get that vibe from any other evidence that you feel relates to this, often features comparison to a white person and a black person in similar circumstances), when the view point should be "This needs to be looked into again, because something has happened that should not be allowed, to ANY PERSON". If something has been done wrong/incorrectly, I would imagine the appeal process would pick that up?
I agree that if that juror became the deciding factor in the Cosby trial, because they'd made their mind up about him PRE-TRIAL, it should 100% be looked into again. Does that have anything to do with race? I really don't know, and isn't really my place to say.
Would replacing him with a Black juror over a white juror make any difference to the outcome? [I mean that answer wholly depends on why that person would offer an alternate view on Cosby; IE if they honestly thought the evidence was sufficient or if they say 'Not Guilty' solely because it's a fellow black person, which would not be a good decision]. And to be fair even then, you would think a person is not selected for jury due to skin colour alone.....but I don't know how that works in the US.
There is a whole lot about this trial I don't know, (I know who Bill Cosby is, but he's not as famous in the UK and we've only had snippets of the details), so maybe I'm very much mis-informed, so I'll do my own research on this.
