You didn't think I was gonna let this month pass without telling ya'll who I have arbitrarily chosen to yell at via blog form to have a god damn seat did you? This month like previous month's was not short on contenders for the throne but since last week one group has zoomed to the top of the charts if you will. Without further ado....anyone who is still in the year of our lord 2018 still defending Bill Cosby, get your ass up here so you can sit your ass down!
For the uninformed, last week chickens came home to roost for a certain Quaalude distributing pudding pop spokesperson was finally convicted of sexual assault after decades of being punished with wealth, fame and a hypocritical sense of superiority. As soon as it happened people jumped out the woodwork sharing poorly worded memes about the man taking down a positive black role model. Allow me to mock a few of the dumber ones I saw.
"Bill Cosby was about to buy NBC."
Probably the most famous of the dumb ass excuses and also one of the ones that is most easily debunked. Yes in the early 90s Bill Cosby asked about buying NBC, GE who owned NBC said it wasn't for sale. The end. It wasn't some cabal of villains conspiring to stop ol' Uncle pudding pop. He asked "hey that for sale?" And NBC was all like "Nah playa, thanks for asking tho."
"This is just an example of the man not allowing a BLACK man to prosper."
Sigh. Ok, there are cases of racism preventing someone from reaching the full heights of their potential. (See: Kaepernick, Colin) This ain't one of those cases. Cosby got to have a full ass career and didn't answer for a damn thing till he was 80.

And while doing so he got to denigrate black people and peddle his respectability politics. So people like Faizon Love jumping to defend him, just know this Bill Cosby thinks he's better than you, and if you were on fire he wouldn't even spit in your direction.
"These women were just trying to get famous."
If you can name me one woman who has profited from calling out Bill Cosby for his past misdeeds I'll buy you a drink. I'm waiting.
"It's like a modern day lynching."
No. No it's not. This was not someone who was innocent, then killed just because he was black. Knock it off. This is a man who admittedly bought drugs to give to women for the sole purpose of having sex with them. Oh don't believe me?
BAM!
Well I am starting to get angry which is a good sign that I have made a good decision in this month's choice. So to you Bill Cosby defender, I extend to you a hearty go fuck yourself because the only injustice is that it took this long for him to see his day in court.
