**Nikki Giovanni Been Over Bill Cosby, Said He Wasn’t Sh*t A Long Time Ago** (1600 hits)

Rewind back to 2007 when Bill Cosby had just commenced his nationwide tour of telling poor Black America to pull themselves up by their baggy jeans and get themselves together. Black America was unsettled by what seemed to be a never ending crusade waged by America’s favorite Jell-O pudding eating dad and fierce debates were launched on cable talk shows and around the web (yes, the internet was around back then) as many notable figures called Cosby out for being elitist and out of touch.

Michael Eric Dyson did what Michael Eric Dyson does and wrote a whole book about the poverty politics of Cosby’s speeches (if you missed this little gem of reading, you’re better off for it) and conversation erupted everywhere from college campuses to barber shops about “bad Blacks” and what to do about them. Now that you’re in the right mind frame, imagine heading down to Miami to attend the International Book Fair and take in a lecture from the always enchantingly “honest” writer, poet and scholar Nikki Giovanni and getting a completely unprompted rant on Bill Cosby and his antics. Yep, you’re right–it’s totally epic, and at this very moment, it sounds so incredibly insightful.

Famous celebs are always hiding some dark secrets...then when it comes out --often they want to look like angels. I admit though--there a lot of women telling the same kind of situations in Cosby's case. Oh well...I still like Mr. Cosby and hope it's all cleared up soon enough.

The thing my husband and I wonder about is this: These alleged crimes occurred during a time when it would cost a black man his life if he looked at a white woman. Mr. Cosby, for all his money and fame was and is a black man in America, and is a product of that time. I find it hard to believe that Mr. Cosby could have drugged, raped and gotten away with these crimes. If he is found guilty by a preponderance of the evidence, then I say throw the book at him, lock him up and throw away the keep, put him in a cage and parade him through the streets. Rape is a violation and a humiliation. It is among several of the more disgusting crimes one human can commit against another. If Mr. Cosby is found innocent, he is owed a heartfelt apology by everyone who falsely accused him.

Personally, I believe he's a dangerous predator and pervert who has hidden behind his Television persona to prey on young unsuspecting young women who didn't see it coming. I shudder to think that I would have been thrilled to be able to meet him behind the scenes, only for him to violate me. He's truly a despicable person that's been living double lives for years, but what he's done in darkness is finally coming into the light. He needs to get right. Ms. Camilla should divorce him like Ms. Tina divorced Mathew's behind.
