In May 2004, comedian, social critic and philanthropist Bill Cosby took the stage at Constitution Hall in his hometown of Philadelphia. It was a gala commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Brown decision on school segregation. Cosby was being honored for his by then near legendary philanthropy to African-American colleges. The mostly black audience, chock full of veterans of the civil rights and social justice movements past and present, fully expected to hear Cosby reminisce about the gains and importance of the civil rights fight and reflect on the massive racial disparities, poverty and economic inequality that still ensnare millions of African-Americans today.

They got a shock. Cosby did nothing of the kind. He instead launched into a long-winded, bitter verbal rampage against alleged ignorant, gun-toting, baby-making and jail-deserving young blacks. Cosby then put the capper on it when he angrily shouted that even more blacks deserve to be dumped in the slammer and even evoked God to bolster his scream, "God is tired of you," and so am I. The stunned audience didn't know what to make of Cosby's tirade. But an endless column of conservative columnists, right-wing talk show gabbers, bloggers and unreconstructed bigots did. They had found just the man to put the proper face on their long-standing manufactured growth industry in black, and especially black male, victim bashing. He was perfect.

Looks like some people in Melbourne, Fl. think so.

Are some of us already assuming complete innocence because...........".....it's Bill Cosby."?

That's just as foolish as assuming guilt, you know.

Sometimes people hide behind celebrity and popularity, do they not?

I gave him the benefit of the doubt when this first started, but as more and more women keep coming out I gotta say it don't look good for the old Huxtable.

At some point, it becomes impossible to deny the forest behind all of those trees.

It's sure looking like Ol' Bill was a ruffie slipping rapist. Too bad for the Connies.

They'll probably try to give him back to us now.

Start calling him a commie lib.

Naw, they'll just claim libs have no 'Christian charity' in their heart of hearts and that we are the true racists in America while studiously ignoring the fact that the Dixiecrats of yore are all 'pubbies now.

Funny how that works.

Besides destroying his image which pretty much has been done already can any charges even be brought against him?

If the "Fixer" is truthful, Cosby has a lot to answer for.

Sad case but CNN and the four networks love it because that is all that is in the news. We even switched off the PBS Newshour last night because they are starting to show either bias of stupidity.

...and worser. 20 and counting. Even his alma mater has dumped the Cos.

I don't think there is much he can do at this point to save his image. Seems these women coming forward are perceived as credible.
