Awful lot of people happy to see an old black guy in chains...


Not defending him, just saying, was he the ONLY celebrity doing this?

I for one will be cheering when it's Weinstein as well.

Them, Kavannaugh, and Judge Thomas, t say a few.

Watching the coverage now. I think he is guilty but his team has a lot of room for appeal.

reply

At least his movies got way more interesting after the accusations started. Now they have this whole dark, creepy vibe to them instead of just being mindless, innocent comedy.

I’m not happy bc an old black guy is in chains. I’m happy bc a serial rapist is in chains.

If Constadt’s case had fallen outside the statute of limitations this wouldn’t be the case.

Weinstein’s right behind him I hope. As fir the others, I am not aware of how old those cases are, but I’ll cheer for anyone who rapes to go off to the slammer in chains, I don’t care what colour they are.

reply

I think I'd be safe in betting that the number of people whose enjoyment of seeing him in chains is enhanced because he's black is so tiny that it's statistically insignificant. He is loathed as a result of his bad behavior.

reply

So then, racism isn't a problem?

reply

Did I say it wasn't?

reply

No, it's not racism (though a lot of folks bring it up wiht AMOS AND ANDY is mentioned..) It's crime. Bill Csby raped a woman..many. also if HE'S not being racial, why did CSBY SHOW use so many black stars, and kids named Winnie and Mandela??

reply

You're not happy to see a serial rapist go to jail?

reply

If you think that's what I meant, you're not very intelligent.

Try again.

reply

LOL! If you think his race trumps his scores of rapes - and you like to spend your evenings insulting total strangers on the net - how intelligent can you be?

reply

And we have our answer...

Hi

His colour didn't have anything to do with it, except for the fact that he was an African American with conservative values. If Chris Rock did what Cosby was accused of doing, nobody would have said anything about it. Even if Cosby is guilty which I doubt he is but could be wrong, then it was way too late for criminal charges to have been filed.

Anybody with a mind of their own and has Christian values these days (left or right) is being targeted. If Andy Griffith was alive, somebody probably would have "had" something on him too.

reply

I'm not conservative, but I have to agree. Objective consideration of the current climate in America and Europe suggests conservatives are being targeted by the status quo.
