My Thing is This.......

In case you've been under a rock somewhere for the past couple of days, here's what I'm talking about:

Everybody and their mama is on social media talking about this conviction. Commentary runs the gambit from "Good, he deserves to go to jail" to "The Illuminati sacrificed Bill in exchange for Meek Mill" (which I'm not even gonna dignify) to "They always coming for our powerful and influential black men." I have scrolled through threads and threads of debates on this issue, today alone, and while there are valid points to be made on all fronts, here's the thing: powerful and influential black men can be predators too. And NONE of them should get a pass. Don't be mad Bill Cosby has to pay the piper, be mad [it appears] the others didn't. THAT'S the miscarriage of justice here.

Not a damn thing going on nowhere else in the world has the slightest bearing on the fact that Bill Cosby is a sexual predator. This man had 7 prescriptions for Quaaludes (who gets 7 prescriptions for Quaalaudes?????) which he got WITH THE INTENT of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with. And it's not up for debate - he ADMITTED to that. Even those women took the pills of their own free will, he's still a creep because he also admitted to having sex with teenagers, as well as paying off [alleged] victims. He should go to jail. Odds are he won't, due to his age and health, but he absolutely deserved to be convicted for his actions.

Say it with me - HIS. ACTIONS.

All this talk about Matt Lauer and fucken Trump and Harvey Weinstein - FUCK. THEM. Yes, them and many other people have [seemingly] gotten away with assaulting and being grossly inappropriate with women (and men) and that is FUCKED UP. But regardless of what anybody else did or didn't do, it doesn't mitigate the fact that Bill Cosby did what he did.. But you think he should get a pass too, huh? If your answer is yes, you really need to question your fucken value system. No sexual predator should be getting a pass. Not even the ones in your family..... *sips tea*......yeah. Don't act.

And racism? Meh. I don't NOT see what you're saying, but ......you're kinda BEING the smoke and mirrors. Comparison is the devil. You are what you are regardless of what anybody else is. Wipe all those other men and incidents off the board and does it not become clear that this man did a bad thing and should be punished for it? Isn't it only when you hold him up against "all those other men and incidents" that there is ANY gray area? Because there hasn't been the same degree of consequences in those other cases? Completely irrelevant to THIS one. This is also not some smear campaign that "so conveniently popped up right when he was tryna buy NBC." **eye roll** Stop regurgitating what you hear other people saying. Bill Cosby wanted to buy NBC wayyyy back in 1992, he wasn't in the process of trying to buy it when this all came out. Do your research and have a seat.

Again, the miscarriage of justice is not Bill Cosby being held accountable for HIS ACTIONS. The miscarriage is that so many others have not. Don't get it confused.

Don't get me wrong; in no way do I dismiss the great things Bill Cosby has done or the inspiration he has been. But EVERYBODY is capable of doing shit you'd never expect from them. Great people can do fucked up shit and sometimes assholes pet puppies. Stop it with the conspiracy theories. Some shit just is what it is.
