I said nothing of Civil Court.
My point stands.
He was fine, as a normal Hollywood star, using his fame and power to sleep with large numbers of willing women.
Until he dared speak about how the black communities problems were at least partially their own fault.
Suddenly, his normal pass for being a Hollywood celebrity was revoked, and his behavior suddenly became a problem, years after the fact.
The media lied about what happen, over and over again for years.
You tell me that was a fair trial, and I will laugh in your face.
It was part of the larger witch hunt.
Cosby speaking out about predominantly black communities in a manner that endeared him to white Americans, was a
non factor.
His success and fortune was due far more to his crossover acceptance by white audiences.
They found him to be likeable......and "safe". He was never popular enough in black households to be taken that seriously.
So when he did "speak out", at an advanced age, he was considered by many to be senile.
It was when the numbers of white women coming forward regarding his behavior began to rachet up significantly, that he came to be viewed as a threat to the same white community that made him wealthy and famous.
And for being a threat, whether it was long ago or even yesterday, he had to pay for his betrayal.
He believed so much in how he was regarded by his public that he began to think he was immune to his own actions.
