Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | We listened to Cosby records in the mid 60's all the time and laughed and laughed. We watched him on I Spy, when there were no black people on TV, just him. We saw him have the #1 show on TV in the 80's for years. Who knew he was a sociopath, willing to ruin the lives of victims and the lives of his own huge family just so he could indulge in his twisted fantasies. Blacks were bursting with pride over Cosby being a TV star in the 60's. Look what he turned it into. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

For some, the best disguise is becoming the upstanding citizen. And I suppose for a famous celebrity it is the best route for a would be predator. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

What a fraud Cosby was, it's scary that people can be two sided like this. FrG would blame it on god somehow, I blame it on Cosby's fame created a sense of entitlement in his mind. He was a above the law and morality, god had nothing to do with it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I think I only watched a few of those, but I had already rebelled against the cartoon industry for cutting frame rates and ruining everything. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I remember watching Eddie Murphy. He said Cosby called him up and disparaged his act for using fowl language. I believe he said ****off Bill., you got your money doing your act, let me do mine. Foul not fowl, duh. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

That's funny considering Cosby had an outburst after the verdict and called the DA an "asshole." “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Or we could just forgive him like the Xtions say to do. No thanks.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

This story is in one of his movies, either Raw or Delirious, both of which I've seen several times. As I recall, he said, "Have a Coke and a smile and shut the f### up." Anyway, many white moral heroes have fallen like Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggart*. I don't think a racial issue needs to be made out of it. However, one name you'll never hear even hear a rumor of doing bad is Fred Rogers. * corrected 4/26/18 2:51 PM PST Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
