it sucks that the Cosby thing is what's making his name ubiquitous these days

Total agreement. Still, it's introducing a lot of people to his comedy. And he may have helped to turn attention to a long list of women who were being ignored.

I know and love Hannibal Buress from Broad City, his work in the role of Lincoln is off beat and funny, first sexy dentist ever! That said, I'm glad he shined a light on the multiple allegations of Bill Cosby's predatory actions.

….will N-E-V-E-R have the success in comedy that Dr. Cosby has had. He knows this. The sad part is that, instead of learning from Dr. Cosby, this *&%$# has chosen to try to bring Dr. Cosby down instead. Can't stand people like him. Nothing that Dr. Cosby has said about the Black community is untrue. People just don't like to hear the truth about themselves.

Well maybe "Dr" Cosby should stop drugging and raping women, no?

This is not about who dosen't have fame---Cosby didn't say anything to black folks that we hadn't already discussed amongst ourselves for years, or nothing we didn't already know. At least a decade ago he was accused of doing this same thing. But nobody elected him arbiter of how black folks are supposed to act. And let's be real---this isn't the first time these accusations have come up about Cosby, and you know it. I find it hard to believe that ALL 33 of these women all making that all up. So Mr. Burress didn't say anything about Cosby that hadn't already been out there for a long while.

I did not imply that it was about fame. The op said that it was a shame that Burress' name is associated with this nonsense about Dr. Cosby. If he was accused years ago, why didn't someone come forward years ago. They didn't come forward because of the powerful man that he was and they knew that he would defend his reputation. They are coming out now because he is an elderly man, frail, and unable to defend himself the way he would have even ten years ago. I find it hard to believe that no one seems to think it is strange that all of a sudden all of these women decide to come forward saying they were raped.
