Hello All:
What a travesty! Here's a Brother who has inspired millions, contributed even more millions to Black education and families, portrayed the kind of Black family man that we could all be proud of, brought low and sentenced to imprisonment for 3-10 years, at a time of his life when he should be able to enjoy his old age. Castigated against as a "violent rapist" when nothing could be further from the truth.
It's hard to tell the difference between the original "Me Too" Movement that was started, by Tarana Burke as result of not being believed subsequent to a legitmate sexual assault, and the travesty that it has become, distorted by the swing between the truth and a bizarre form of a need to be seen, or being highly paid to prevaricate in order to stick a celebrity.
There are some who say Cos brought it on himself; others relate tales that were told to them from a third party - relative, former co-worker - claiming to have had an encounter of the close kind with him.
Interestingly enough, of the 60 so called "victims" 95% were white, the rest were African American (or a reasonable fascimile thereof).
Also interestingly enough, though Cos was accused of "rape," it was never considered violent, or aggravated assault; there was no bragging, no paying off, no attempts to cover up - and in several cases, the "victims" admitted to going back several times. Hmmm.... In fact, several of the accusers made the same statement - apparently he had paid for their accommodations over a period of time. So where is the "rape?"
At any rate, I smell a rat (a white rat), and see a pattern in Cos' trial that has been a recurring theme throughout the history of Successful, Influential, Fine, Intelligent, Affluent, Generous, Wealthy Black Men - the white male structural system has consistently targeted Black men in Bill Cosby's position.
It appears that white males can't stand to see Black men in those high level positions, and will do whatever underhanded, despicable machinations to undermine them. One has to look back in history and see the pattern, which has escalated, especially since the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts were passed, seemingly putting Black men on equal footing with whites.
But let's take it back to a very famous, generous, brother by the name of Joe Louis - the world famous Heavy Weight Boxing Champion of the 1940s, who donated all his winnings to the US
The hero's humiliation played out in the press, on the front cover of the news papers, on the radio, TV, etc., while the government, who could have given complete deductions and spared him all this, looked on and let it happen. He died an invalid, in a wheel chair, still in debt - though celebrities like Frank Sinatra and others often provided him the funds for his hospitalization and a place to live.
In the meantime, Max Schmeling, who fought for Hitler, was later given US citizenship. He didn't even have to face the Nurenberg Trials - SMH.
How about our hero Marcus Garvey - the brother who tried to save all our souls by teaching us to be autonomous and to return to Africa, reclaim their heritage, and rejoin their brothers and sisters there to build what we now know would have become Wakanda.
We would have had Wakanda by now if we had followed him to Africa |
What about Michael Jackson, who was the well loved, world reknown King of Pop one day and "Wacko Jacko" the next, as the result of misinterpretations of his actions. Jackson had
knocked practically every artist off the pop charts, and was so revered that he literally could not walk in the streets or have a normal life. He was literally mobbed no matter where he went. From the time he made his first album with his brothers, as the Jackson Five, until his break out as a solo artist, he literally had to have body guards no matter where he went or what he did. It didn't take long for devious minds to begin to try to find ways to misinterpret his love for youth, fun, and interest in helping deprived children into something negative - with rumors of pedophilia, it began to slowly mount into a full fledged smear campaign against him - a bogus bio written by an attention seeking reporter fed the salacious mentalities of borderline racists into full fledged accusations. This dragged this humanitarian artist into court to face people who had been strategically paid to falsely accuse him of "inappropriate" behavior. I am sure they made his life a living hell. He was an artist who provided funds for charitable endeavors many overlooked, who wrote songs about love, peace and unity; who walked his talk. The more he did it, the more the meanstream media used it against him. And, while the court ruled his death was caused by his doctor, the real truth was that his heart and spirit were broken, and forced to make a comeback appearance to support his family, his health had already been depleted. Michael, like Joe Louis, was a great example of no good deed going unpunished - white folks will find a way to destroy uppity Brothers. When Michael Jackson died, my Mom, Ruby Love, who was in her 80s at the time, called me from Oklahoma City, and said: "Well, they finally killed him. I knew they weren't going to rest until they did."
How about O.J. Simpson? That was about as prime an example of white conspiracy against a Black man who apparently had it all. It looked as if the brother could do nothing wrong.
Remember? Football great, fine, athletic, movie star hero, the darling of talk shows, OJ was The Black Man to go to. And we lapped it up. I know I did - I remember watching him jump over suitcases in a commercial for an airline. Suddenly, we are regaled with the news that OJ's white wife Nicole Brown Simpson, from whom he was separated, was found knifed to death. Of course, the immediate suspect was OJ Simpson, despite the fact that he was actually on airplane on the way to an event at the exact time that the murder took place. Add to that the act that Ron Goldman, who had been banging his wife, and had been called over to their home to return some shades, during the height of the dinner hour - something that could have waited until the restaurant closed - was likewise found knifed to death. The real target was Goldman, who had been messing with the wife of one of the big cocaine dealers in LALA Land - he was sent there to be ambushed; OJs wife unfortunately came out, and ended up being part of the melee and died as well (BTW they owed $90,000 for coke - and OJ refused to pay it) - they were leaving no witnesses. And while it was evident that Goldman put up a major fight, there were no bruises on OJ. Bottom line, he didn't do it, but the LAPD conspired in the most incompetent manner ever, to stack the evidence against him. When Johnny Cochrane proved he was not guilty, "if it doesn't fit, you must acquit," and all the Black people rejoiced when he won; whites couldn't bear it, and literally invented a new law so they could try him again. They could not stand to see the brother walk away in victory. They were perfectly prepared to pity him and say he put up a good fight, but too bad he lost - but no Black man gets over on the bogus judicial system, and goes unpunished.
Muhammad Ali was a victim of the white racist regime, as the Heavy Weight Champion of the World, who was not to be manipulated by them and forced into participating in a war he did not believe in.
They were already pissed because he changed his name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali, rejected their religion to embrace the Nation of Islam, and who was not part of the hgh roller society where his money came in one hand and went out the other. So when he stood up against the war, and Black men and women across the nation followed his example, they stripped him of his championships; made it illegal for him to fight, or travel, or be involved in the public eye. We all stood behind him, and were proud of the fact that he did not bow or buckle under the pressure. And pressure there was - when he later succumbed to Parkinson's disease, there was a smug sense of retribution on the part of many whites who bore grudges for his not being "grateful enough to go to war.
Paul Robeson, athlete, activist, intellect, actor, singer, fine Black man, was denied the ability to travel and sing because he stood up for Black people against racism, and temporarily embraced
Communism because America was blatantly persecuting, hanging and discriminating against Black Americans. Robeson's movie career proliferated in London, where he was the hero of most of the movies he did - including The Emperor Jones, Big Fella, King Solomon's Mines - and so many others. He was always the Black man who stood for Black people - something he could never do in the movies he made in the US, where they either had him as some sort of lackey, or servant, talking broken english, with his foot in the sand. Most Black people still have not seen all the movies he made; while the whites try to continue to tie him to communistic leanings. However, as he later learned, whites are whites - the racists whites in the US vs the manipulative racists who tried to use him to recruit Black people in order to undermine the US. When he began singing for the unions, big business began to get involved in trying to thwart his influence in bringing them together - and cited the fact that he had had an affiliation with Russia. They pulled his passport, forbade him to sing in public, confined him to his home, and tried to make him a pariah.
When Ben Chavis was named the head of the NAACP, he was castigated against because he tried to unite them with the Nation of Islam by bringing Minister Louis Farrakhan to meet with the executive board.
This of course enraged their detractors, who then bribed a secretary to claim that he had promised her a position in exchange for sexual favors - something Chavis had never been known for. The NAACP, because of outside influence of the "you know who" ousted him, rather than stand behind him. They were too dependent on outside funding sources and allowed themselves to be intimidated with the threatened loss of funds. SMH Fortunately, Chavis' affiliation with Farrakhan prevented him from being destitute - much to the chagrin of his detractors.
Before we get back to the elaborate conspiracy that has led to Cosby being incarcerated, I have a few more salient examples of how devious whites are in their backlash:
Since we're dealing with how they hate it when a Black man successfully does a better job than they ever could, let's take a look at the ultra successful career and influence of Chief Justice Thurgood Marshall, who was with the Supreme Court before it became subprime.
He had such an impact on the justice system, much to the annoyance of whites who never ever wanted to see a Black man there, that when he stepped down during the Repuglycon/Bushwacker era, they nominated his exact opposite - uncle Thomas Clarence to replace him. The joke was, he's still of color, just not Black mentally, spiritually or psychologically. He was literally the polar opposite of Marshall in every way - meaning there was no snowball's chance in hell that he was ever going to do anything remotely to rule in the favor of Black folks - ever.
And, of course, the current ersatz incumbent who now occupies the white house after eight years of having the best president ever - (and if you thought I'd put his ugly photo on my Blog, you're sadly mistaken);
and the fact that white racist repuglycons put their racism, greed and egos over the welfare of the nation during Obama's administration, to make sure that none of his policies were ratified - even to the point of refusing to hear his nominee for the subprime court. They also dragged their feet in the replacement of Eric Holder who stepped down as Attorney General, and made Loretta Lynch wait for a hearing, for no other reason than they just wanted to block Obama.
Or the destruction of Kermit Eady, founder of the Black United Fund of New York (BUFNY), by Elliott Spitzer, the persecutor who became governor and later got kicked out because of his own immorality
- he fabricated information, intimidated witnesses in order to destroy the organization that raised funds ($111 million a year) to fund and underwrite Black programs, educations, businesses and home ownership in New York. After he destroyed them, he dropped the case - but never reinstated Kermit Eady, the founder, or those who were the beneficiaries of the program - thousands of Black New Yorkers. The elected officials were so cowardly they would not stand up for him or the organization.
Roland Martin of News One in Washington, DC, who has consistently told it like it is, had a stellar two-hour morning news show; but was booted off because he told the truth about what
Now, let's get back to Brother Dr. William H. Cosby, Jr., now incarcerated on a series of trumped up charges that they have had to compile and inveigh in order to wear him and his legal team down to make them stick. And also let's not forget that there was a hung jury, he was actually acquitted, but a judge with a vendetta apparently was not satisfied with that decision.
Let's do a rewind back to the days of Cosby prior to the Cosby show, when he started educational programs such as The Electric Company; or when he was the co-star with Robert Culp on the adventure detective show, I Spy; or when he started the animated series Fat Albert to teach kids good behavior and principles.
This was a Black man devoted to educating and entertaining Black people. He donated millions of dollars to HBCUs, as well as Temple University, Spelman and others. He has been the quiet donor in the background who helped Spike Lee complete the production of Malcolm X when he ran out of funds and the whites wanted to write their own ending. His purpose and focus has always been to the uplift of Black people - from all the wonderful books he has written, to his inspirational comedic recordings. He literally went back to college to get a PhD in order to put together relevant, edutainment shows for predominantly Black audiences.
The phenomenal success of The Cosby Show, that defied stereotypes and showed the inside life of a upwardly mobile, Black Middle Class Family, broke all records and stayed in the top echelon of TV for nearly a decade, with a spinoff of Blacks on college campuses - breaking yet another stereotype about our being ignorant, lazy and inconsequential. Every Thursday night, most Black families were sitting in front of the TV at 8:00PM watching Heathcliff and Clare Huxtable and the family set high standards of family values. He became America's Dad. His show inspired many other Black actors, writers and producers to produce similar shows - which caused a heyday of uplifting Black television viewing.
Now you know the rednecks were chafing at that accolade of America's Dad - there he was doing Kodak, Jello, and so many other commercials; raising funds, donating funds, pitted in major contrast against their paucity of relevant images. But the real corker was when he made the mistake of announcing that he was planning to purchase NBC and turn it into a Black TV Channel. The entire TV industry went absolutely nuts!! His so called associates revealed themselves as the backstabbers they had already been - as long as he was staying mildly militant, they were cool - but now he was getting ready to overstep his bounds and walk in white shoes - there was a collective "oh hell no!" Not only did they find a way to "legally" prevent him from purchasing the station, they began cutting back on his show. But the most egregious sign was when they murdered Ennis Cosby, his only son, who was waiting for someone to come and repair a tire on the Freeway in California. It so demoralized Cosby, who, while he never said it publicly, new it was a direct hit and warning to him to stay in his place.
But they didn't stop there - the vendetta was on to take him from hero to zero - and what better way to do this than to do what most whites do when they want to destroy a Black man, impugn his morality and steep it with allegations of rape and other banaal acts. It works so well - especially when the victims are caucasian. Having lived in Hollywierd myself, I am well aware of the many drug parties that went on there - and no one should be surprised if Cos participated in some of them. However, when you have 60 females - predominantly white - who claim he drugged tthem, and they all found themselves waking up beside him - it's a little too cookie cutter, too coached, too convenient. It took the credibility of the "#MeToo Movement," and marginalized it for me.
I recently re-watched the movie, Trading Places, starring Eddie Murphy, Dan Akroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis - and realized the lengths to which whites will go to destroy a Black man, by any means necessary. In this case, Cosby is the Dan Akroyd character who has it all - and whites are doing everything they can to destroy him. They set up scenarios, hired liars, actors, begrudged people, relatives - paid them handsomely. And stand by and mock him, and them, while he falls under the weight of overwhelming false evidence. And if you don't believe it can happen, go back and study Macchiavelli - it's real and is being used effectively on large and small scales.
Now I am not saying that Cosby is completely innocent; just that he's not guilty - and those are two different things. He made some self incriminating statements, owing to bad legal advice - too bad we no longer have lawyers the caliber of Johnny Cochran - It would have been completely different - but far too many of our ersatz Black lawyers are trying to impress white judges. Sad to say.
However the real kicker is that it is a feather in the cap of whites when you can "bag a big one" - destroy and humiliate a Black man who is held in high esteem, in front of the people who love him, while they stand helplessly by and see it happen. Add insult to injury by suspending his TV shows, so there are no royalties for the other actors and actresses who also participated in the show - hopefull the so called Black TV stations are not falling for this. But I'm simultaneously happy that I have videos of most of his shows from Black in the day. They are trying to wipe this good brother off the face of the earth, and make us eat it and co-sign it. In the meantime, we are constantly being fed a steady diet of ignorance in the form of the pussygrabber, the repuglycons, and others who are now smugly sitting by and pulling the strings in DC.
For an ignorant, racist judge to claim that Bill Cosby is a "sexually violent predator" at the age of 81, or at any age is ridiculous and insulting.
At the same time they are supporting a pussy-grabbing pedophile as president, and considering seating a true "sexually violent predator" as a subprime court justice, is completely and totally insane, as well as insulting to our intelligence. In the interim, the entire holy roman empire - and the archdiocese of Philadelphia (the US) needs to be called into question for centuries of pedophilia and sodomizing young boys - destroying their innocence and ruining their lives forever.
Somehow these have never truly been brought to trial, and most likely will never be. But this is what my people, the other side of my family, the Cherokee Nation, calls "white man's (in)justice" - and he speaks with "forked tongue."
That said, I'm faced with a dilemma when it comes to the upcoming testimony of Kavanaugh's victims - of course there should be a statue of limitation when it comes to sexual predatory issues - but when the stakes are as high as the Presidential office or Supreme Court, all those norms are off - it is the responsibility of the FBI, CIA, State Department, and witnesses to come forward and show cause - to do otherwise would be a travesty and a tragedy. Indeed, there is no statue of limitation when it comes to pedophiles - as far as I'm concerned. But Cosby is none of these, and I daresay that most of the so called improprieties were between "consenting" adults. They didn't have to accept the money, the accommodations or anything else they alleged he provided them with. So to turn around and now castigate him is truly despicable and duplicitous.
While there has been this penchant to persecute Bill Cosby, I see none of the same in the cases of others who have now come under the scrutiny. It will be of interest to see whether they attack with the same vitriol they did when they went after this brother.
I remain a firm fan and believer in Bill Cosby, and have seen nor heard anything to change my mind about him. I am going to keep Bill, Camille and the children in my prayers, as well as those of you who actually accept the judgments of these vipers as true, fair or equal.
My closing warning is to our Black upcoming comedians and commentators, such as Trevor Noah - please refrain from using Bill as the butt of your jokes - you have no idea how deep you
In the meantime, I expect the Black community, now that the initial shock is over, to use the same influence and exert the same pressure you did when you got Meek Mill out of prison - someone who has not done even one quarter of the wonderful things for Black people that Cos has done. We must not allow this tragedy and travesty to go unchallenged. And while we are dealing with that, make sure you keep this Black Man in Your Prayers.
NOW THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
Stay Blessed &
ECLECTICALLY BLESSED
