Alleoops,

Welcome back to my cyber mansion. Do you know who the Dark Crusaders? Im quite sure you are aware of those organizations i mentioned. The Dark Crusaders are a elite secret club mostly wealthy black powerful men & women thats control or should i say keep an eye on black hollyweird. Why you think the Chappelle Show was dismantled. It had nothing to do with the 50 million dollar crash & burn Dave felt. The Dark Crusaders shut it down. If you dont follow secret societies then this wont make sense but its true . the Dark Crusaders Cosby a very important member. Oprah is too. When you get out of line then this happens to you.

Ms Harmony,

You know you right but keep this in mind. I believe you when you opened in the beginning of this and said " cosby wont win" if they take this to multiply or another trial then my opinion is he may lose those cases. See wealthy or poor, one thing that both class of people can agree luck only runs once. I don't want to see any harm come to him but right is right, wrong is wrong. I say this and keep moving. I will pray that this whole ordeal with Cosby play its self out. The women can move on and put this behind them. Mr Cosby once he get back to entertainment, my advice to him" stay away from pretty women for a good while". " go back and you and your wife can role play if thats what turns you on". Insteady of poping ludes in pretty ladies drinks with the hopes to get lucky. Well take your wife to a sports lounge and pretend you guys are total strangers and converse with each other and pop not any type of drugs that will harm your wife but pop a starburst in her drink and pretend you drugging your wife during the rule play and go home and get lucky with your wife like the good lord intended for you.

The Dark Crusaders, yes, elite and very secretive. Yes, I saw them on the Marvel Comics rack, next to Captain America.

Lol play fair.... They're real. But i love your comedy. !

I'm glad it was a mistrial. Not for Cosby, I could care less for that overgrown child but the accusers can't be taken seriously, not when they've had DECADES to come forward and their excuses as to why they didn't are lame, just like they are and have been most their lives.

Rooster35,

Not defending the ladies but i think also the scrutiny they feared coming out then. Like i mention it took a black comedian to expose Mr Cosby then all hell broke loose. Then i guess the woman felt empowered.

"The women felt empowered " Ha ha! Good one... But seriously, what scrutiny were they afraid of ?
Would it, by any chance, be the kind of scrutiny that would have shown them for who they are, miserable vulgar groupies in search of a thrill with a rising star or manipulative & mischievous women hoping to take him for all he had once he lost control of himself?
This case was built up expressly to make him fall by people who gain a lot to portray masculinity ( or rich men in general ) as degenerate or toxic, just like Jackson's case.

I remember in my early 20's, there was a 50 year old Head of Department at my workplace, who used to make sexually inappropriate comments to me occasionally. I avoided him as much as I could, but never reported him because I lacked work experience and didnt want my work reputation to be sullied in any way.

One night at a Staff dinner, he approached me in front of a group of staff members , inviting me to dance. I had no desire to do it, but I was young, and was afraid of drawing negative attention to myself.

While I danced with him , I felt so nauseated, as he uttered inappropriate comments that no one in the crowded room would suspect because he was holding me appropriately.

Could I have brought that scenario to an immediate halt?
Yes.
Did I do that?
No.
Did I appear to others like I was enjoying his slimy treatment at the moment?
Yes.
Was I enjoying the slimy treatment ?
No.
Was it stupid of me to continue dancing with him ?
Yes.
Does that make what he did to me right ?
No.

I am not saying that some of his accusers arent strategic opportunists, but I gather that many of the women were very young at the time of the alleged assaults, aware of their work inexperience and aware of Mr. Cosby's power to make them or break them at that juncture in their lives.

It was undeniably stupid for the victims to sustain interactions with him following the incident , but could it be that they were young, stupid and scared like I was?

And if that was the case , is Mr Cosby justified in doing what he allegedly did because SOME of these women were young, stupid and scared ?

In hindsight , now that I am older, wiser and have nothing to lose, I can see how stupid I was , and how easily I could have ended the harrassment at the time.

THIS older incarnation of myself is confident enough to report him to authorities.

The younger incarnation of myself wasnt.

Roster35,

Well to answer your questions. Well the scrutiny would of been . think about it...the women must of felt like " oh mr cosby did this to me, who's gonna believe me?" " America's Dad, Dr Huxtable, my kids love him no way your lying". So they must of didnt want to not only hurt Cosby career but there's too. Then if they couldnt prove there case then a hefty defamation suit would follow. Ouch...

Peggy122,

Hello my good friend of m2, i want to.say this. America, woman like Peggy that born with great beauty, her work ethic is impeccable and very professional and good at what she does. Fellas you may hate me for this but i am the voice of logic but it gives some of us no right to make a.woman feel uncomfortable just because she attractive. Being beautiful and career minded is a beautiful attributes. See in the world we live in if a woman feel uncomfortable its call sexual harassment. When a guy feel uncomfortable or harassment other men question why you didnt go for it. America see my point. How can i come out if my allegations are real take a woman to court and charge her when its being taught to us guys that if your boss wants sexual favorites for your success its not call sexual harassment. In this world it would be called your a dummy! Thats not acceptable either.

Thanks for the vote of support EyeAm.

Sexual harrassment/assault is not a celebrity issue or an American issue.

Its a world problem because most of the world's policy makers and law enforcers are MEN.

That means that the welfare and protection of women are at the mercy of individuals who fundamentally dont understand the psyche of a woman , and the systems she needs to feel emotionally and physically safe. As a result women often feel that they are at the mercy of "the old boys club", and all the indignities that this invokes.

But I do admit that there is another angle to view this issue from.

There is genuinely a community of gold digging opportunistic women who either try to trap powerful men with parternity suits or assault accusations for financial gain.

That growing group of wonen detract from every woman"s overall credibility, and sabotage the vindication of women who are GENUINE victims of sexual harrassment/offenses

easy on the Conspiracies,Man!
If he is guilty,it will come out in the "Wash" eventually!
Even OJ did himself in,eventually!

Come on,a Show that loses the Rating gets axed by the Studio or Network,not by some Dark Crusaders,Illuminati or some such!

EyeAM,

playing the devils advocate, it seems we want men to read minds and they cannot.

what is 'inappropriate' to one is flattering to another, so how can we hold a man accountable for what they are not aware of when women respond so differently to so many different things,,, let alone how do we hold them 'criminally' responsible

casual sex is something many people consent to, especially with someone that may be able to get them ahead financially or in their career, drugs and alcohol are also things people consent to

if a man has been able to flatter some women with certain behaviors or if he has been in a circle where women consentually share drugs, or do drugs and alcohol,, how can he suddenly be a 'criminal' because he engages in that same behavior with another woman because SHE doesn't like it or find it appropriate,, how is he to know?


The problem with both harassment and rape

and especially where two parties have consented to being in a private location, alone, where there is a bed or couch or other 'intimate/private' location


is that it is a crime of the mind, that is, it is about how the victim 'felt' and whether they consented,, which are very hard things for someone who is not in their mind to KNOW, especially if they do not say(unless they have verbalized a stern NO, which cant be proven) or if they continue to RETURN to that person or that persons behavior.

If they were afraid of losing their case back then due to diffamation then it means their case was weak or had no case at all and it seems it was weak years and years later as well.
If they didn't like what he did and had proof then they wouldn't have waited an hour!
All the rest is feminist mumbo-jumbo to make Cosby look like a monster simply because he's a MAN with a lot of money.
As I said before, I couldn't care less for him, but at a certain point bull is bull, no matter how you disguise it.

There is a reason for statute of limitations

Peggy122,

No...No thank you, I mean I take being token advantage of very serious. I will never allow it regardless of my sex's actions. Do I think he's guilty, yes to a degree. do he deserve a public lynching....ahhh.....No! Do I want to see him in jail, yes only if he really did it. Do I put fault in the victims......if they're gaming yes....if they really was token advantage of .......no!

Ms Harmony,

Hello mommy, yes preach that truth girl....lol. But no, you right this whole case is symbolic on guys in the world even money can't buy you a pass of freedom. I said it before I really hope this will go away and let everybody prosper and move on to get things in there lives including Cosby.

YellowRose10,

yes you right, and that reason is so that what's done yesterday you can't sue tomorrow. sucks right?

No it doesn't suck. I think it's a good law
