(ThyBlackMan.com) In the midst of the murdering of our Black Men in Ferguson, NY and beyond, we have to be keenly aware of all “distractions”.
We have to thoroughly understand that there are those that have a specific agenda when it comes to the Black Family, especially the Black Man. Its always been that way. First he was made to look and appear weak to us, then he’s made to be a Monster. There are a lot of strategic propaganda in place to make Black Men appear savage, child abusers, rapists, abusive(domestic violence), Deadbeats, and their value of life is equivalent to items in a clearance bin.
You take a man that has produced one of the longest running shows that portrayed the Black Family in a positive light and you taint his name and image at the height of ratchet TV shows and the execution of Black Men by the hands of White Police Officers.. The Cosby Show portrayed the Black Family as an actual FUNCTIONING FAMILY. There were TWO loving MARRIED parents, that raised their children together.
They instilled values and morals in their children. Their daughters didn’t end up as baby mama’s, three of them were WIVES at the end of the show. Compare that structure to what’s on our TV now. We have shows where Black Women are not dignified, there are no morals, there are rarely any wives, instead we have Black Women that love to coon for the camera and portray EVERY negative stereotype about us. Instead of Phylicia Rashad, today’s Black Woman is watching Nene Leakes, Joseline Hernandez and Erica Mena. They are watching women curse, fight and engage in promiscuous activity, The Cosby show promoted chastity among Black Women, whereas shows like Love and Hip Hop Hollywood, the women pass themselves around to the men like a blunt, and everyone gets a taste and a pull.
Through The Cosby Show, Bill Cosby showed us what a Black Family should look like. Through a Different World, we were inspired to pursue education specifically at a HBU. And this is the legacy that they are trying to destroy.
So many women said they didn’t come forward because Bill Cosby was such a “powerful man.” No matter how “powerful” a Black Man gets, White Supremacy will ALWAYS take an opportunity to remind you that you’re still a nigga to them. A Black Man allegedly “drugging and raping” white women on a consistently basis and you think there would have been no consequences? Name a Black Man that you know whose power or influence supersedes the cries of rape from a White Woman.
Everyone is saying that all stories are the same. I guess so; they are all following the same script. A white actor by the name of Stephen Collins, who played the father on the TV Series “Seventh Heaven” was recorded by his wife, confessing that he molested several young girls and while that story had traction for a couple of days, it has quietly faded into oblivion.
However the bloodhounds stay on Cosby’s scent. Why NOW, during this TIME is there a public media lynching of an influential Black Man, that is also parallel with several murders of our Black Men? This continues to plant the idea that a Black Man is “inherently bad”, no matter what he accomplishes, regardless of his positive contributions or who he influences underneath it all “he” is still a savage beast. We have the physical killings of our Brothers and the slow death of a Black Man’s legacy.
I’m not discounting any real, and proven cases of actual events, I’m just reminding us that there’s ALWAYS an agenda, and if you don’t peep it, more than likely, you’re a part of it. As Black Women we have to be EXTREMELY aware of warfare. We have to be mindful of who we lend our minds and ears to, and how we speak publicly about certain incidents.
When they are roasting our men, we can’t be participants at the bonfire. We can’t be the ammunition used to slaughter the Black Male Image. The best way to destroy a Black Man, is to send one of his own (Black Woman) to pull the trigger. The Black Woman has become White Supremacy’s not-so-secret weapon, and many of us are their BEST trained assassins.
What we have been witnessing with Bill Cosby is a virtual lynching, the media has replaced the rope, but the effect is still the same. Pick a Nigga, Kill (his legacy) a Nigga. White People have been lynching Black Men in front of audiences for years; the media just allows for more spectators.
Why is this all coming out now? The timing makes you think something is fishy. What black man you know can get away with raping a white women? I don’t care how popular, powerful and rich you are if you’re a black man in Amerikkka you are still nobody
Oh, I get it. So ALL women are liars no matter what?!! Hmmm… okay, then let me ask all you “black men” who think that all women are liars, this one question:
If you were born white during the height of the KKK, would you be members the Klu Klux Klan? Didn’t the KKK have a few ugly labels for ALL black men? I mean, is the only reason that you notice that the KKK is evil, because you are black? Really? (But yet you label all women as liars, YOU F***ING HYPOCRITES!!! How is your logic about women any different than the KKK’s logic about black men?!!!)
And lastly, if you trust Bill Cosby so much, why don’t you send your teenage daughter over to Bill Cosby for some career advice -EH?- and tell us how it goes. (And don’t forget that Bill Cosby’s own lawyers specifically stated that all the allegations were untrue EXCEPT for Andrea Constandt’s allegations. So, Cosby only sexually assaulted a woman “once” in 2004, but all the other times are all lies?)
Great article Nojma. Even though Mr.Cosby detailed his frusrations with the black community to the wrong audience, he does not deserve this lynching. What was a 15 year old doing at the Playboy Mansion, anyways? Doesn’t sound credible. Janice Dickinson and Beverly Johnson are some of the biggest Hollywood sluts known to man. Who cares what they say? They aren’t credible at all.
All appears credible to me. His admission to previous accusations, child, affair, and payoffs prove his guilt. This has NOTHING to do with Whites orchestrating his lynching. He orchestrated his own and bc he was a household name and celeb, he was given a pass. These accusations were ignored. I don’t doubt a word these women have uttered, nor do I dismiss the accusations regardless of how far in the past they occurred. Beverly Johnson’s testimony confirmed all for me. In addition, he oftentimes denigrated the Black youth and blamed Black parenting for their behaviors while forgetting that his eldest daughter had many of the same challenges as the youth he openly criticized. Now he’s asking for a pass from Black journalism. Still attempting to exercise his perceived privilege. People who live in glass houses should NEVER throw stones. More importantly, as you reap so shall you sow.
I also said that regardless of how powerful his accusers claimed Mr. Cosby is, he is a black man in America and is accused of raping white women—he would have been imprisoned. It’s a damn shame that the majority of black people who are now loving to see his downfall can’t see this. These people never forgave the man after he told them about not having personal responsibility.
I, for one, am NOT buying that Cosby did this. This has all the markings of an assassination written all over it. Cosby has pissed someone at the higher levels off thoroughly. I don’t know who, but I know an assassination attempt when I see one.
The sad thing about this is that Cosby can never truly vindicate himself. His name is forever sullied by these accusations now. Those who plotted to publicly assassinate him know this all too well. The general population will believe ANYTHING they see on TV as truth. People don’t think too critically and common sense is not all that common.
The truly unfortunate thing about this is that they are trying to dismantle all the work this man and his wife have done to uplift and advance black folks. I was disheartened to read an article about how Spelman College is distancing themselves from Cosby at the heels of these allegations. I’m like REALLY?! Spelman?! The institution the Cosbys single-handedly supported financially and institutionally- this is the thanks they get? Cosby’s footprint are all over many of our nation’s HBCUs and many are considering turning their backs on him. I’m sad. But those people that orchestrated this lynching knew this already.
People are so stupid, I swear. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Again, I do not believe these allegations. I can see it for what it really is
