IN THE AFTERMATH OF BILL COSBY'S GUILTY VERDICT, CAMILLE
COSBY HAS TAKEN TO FACEBOOK TO RELEASE AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
ABOUT HER HUSBAND'S CONVICTION, COMPARING IT TO EMMETT TILL'S
DEATH.
IN A POST ON COSBY'S FACEBOOK PAGE, SHE WROTE A LONG
PIECE THAT STARTED WITH THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE
CONSTITUTION AND THEN GOING INTO EMMETT TILL AND THEN GOING
IN
SAID JURY BY MEDIA.
I WANT TO REVIEW A FEW SNIPPETS.
SHE
SAYS:
I DO WANT TO CONTINUE GOING ON THROUGH SOME OF HER STATEMENT,
BUT I WANT TO STOP HERE AND TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE
I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES WHERE WE ARE SEEING THE
MEDIA TURN.
ON THEIR BELOVED CHARACTER.
BILL COSBY IS
AMERICA'S DAD OR WAS.
AND OFTEN TIMES, THAT WILL LEAD THE MEDIA
AND THE JURY TO BE BIASED IN THEIR FAVOR, BUT NOW WITH THE ME
TOO MOVEMENT AFTER THE MISTRIAL HE IS BEING SEEN IN A DIFFERENT
BY AND I DO THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD
RECOGNIZE AND NOT BE PUTTING DOWN.
I THINK CAMILLE HAS LOST HER MIND.
I THINK SHE HEARD THE
LYRICS TO STAND BY YOUR MAN AND THEY DIDN'T HEAR THE PART WHERE
IT WAS LIKE, UNITL HE DRUGS AND RAPES 60 WOMEN.
I THINK
THAT IS THE PART OF THE SONG THAT SHE MISSED.
IT IS --
I AM FASCINATED, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD BY CAMILLE
COSBY AND PEOPLE LIKE THIS BECAUSE ONLY THING I
CONTINUE TO COME BACK TO IS THAT SHE BELIEVED THAT?
DOES SHE BELIEVE WHAT SHE IS SAYING OR IS THERE A PAYOUT?
AS THEIR FEAR, BRAINWASHING, STOCKHOLM SYNDROME OR DOES
SHE BELIEVE IT?
I DO NOT KNOW IT WILL EVER KNOW BUT I KEEP COMING BACK TO
THAT DIET IS SO FASCINATING TO.
I THINK SHE BELIEVES IT BUT I THINK SHE BELIEVES IT BECAUSE
SHE HAS BEEN WITH HIM FOR SO LONG AND GOTTEN HERSELF TO
BELIEVE IT.
BECAUSE OTHERWISE HER WHOLE LIFE WAS ALIVE, THE
ENTIRE TIME THEY WERE MARRIED HE WAS DRUGGING AND SEXUALLY
ASSAULTING 58 WOMEN.
IT IS HARD TO LIVE WITH THAT UNLESS YOU
THINK, NO, HE IS NOT GUILTY, IT IS ALL A LIE BUT BEFORE WE EVEN
GET TO THAT, ROW QUICK ON HER SAYING, TAKING AWAY HIS
FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
HE HAS EVERY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT IN THE WORLD THAT HE
COULD SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS, HE IS A CELEBRITY.
IN ANOTHER PART THAT SHE SAID THE MEDIA IS ESTABLISHING
BARRICADES PREVENTING THE TRUTH, VIOLATIONS OF THE FIRST
AMENDMENT.
NO, THERE IS NO VIOLATION.
THE MEDIA DOESN'T DO
THAT, THE GOVERNMENT WHAT SO YOU'RE TOTALLY WRONG ON THE
CONCEPT.
2ND OF ALL, YOU JUST SAID THIS.
THEY DIDN'T PREVENT
YOU FROM SAYING IT'S NOT BILL COSBY CAN SAY ANYTHING WHAT HE
WANTS.
YOU ARE TOTALLY CONFUSED ABOUT THAT IN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT
TO JUSTIFY WHAT IS GOING ON.
SHE ALSO SAID HE WAS CONVICTED BY PUBLIC OPINION AND
NO, HE ADMITTED TO BUYING DRUGS TO GET WOMEN TO SLEEP WITH HIM.
HE SAID TO SLEEP WITH HIM BUT ACTUALLY BUYING DRUGS TO
INCAPACITATE THEM TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM AND THAT IS
NOT THE CONVICTED IN THE JURY OF PUBLIC OPINION, THAT IS
ACTUALLY ILLEGAL TO.
A 22-YEAR-OLD
JUROR HAS NO IDEA WHO HE IS AND SO FOUND THIS TO BE TRUE.
HE WAS LITERALLY CONVICTED BY AN ACTUAL JURY.
LET'S CONTINUE ON.
SHE SAYS:
THIS IS SUCH A DISGRACE TO EMMETT TILL'S LEGACY, EVEN HIS
FAMILY HAS SAID DO NOT ASSOCIATE HIS DEATH WITH WHAT IS GOING ON
WITH COSBY'S CONVICTION AND WHAT HAPPENED THERE WAS THEY SAID,
THEY ADMITTED TO HAVING DONE ESSENTIALLY AND THE JURY STILL
FOUND THEM NOT GUILTY, BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE.
EMMETT SO DOES NOT HAVE A VOICE IN THIS.
THE CITY WOMEN HAVE
COME FORWARD ABOUT THIS AND TALKED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON
AND EVEN THE JURY SAID IN THIS SECULAR CASE THAT IT WAS COSBY'S
OWN COMMENTS THAT MADE THEIR DECISION.
THIS IS SO OFFENSIVE.
SO UNBELIEVABLY OFFENSIVE.
EMMETT TILL WAS A 14-YEAR-OLD KID WHO WHISTLED AT A WHITE
WOMAN, MAY BECOME A LEADER EVEN KNOW IF THAT WAS TRUE AND THEN
WAS BEATEN TO DEATH FOR WHISTLING ALLEGEDLY AT A WHITE
WOMAN.
BILL COSBY IS NOWHERE NEAR DEATH, NOT BECAUSE OF THE
JURY BUT ALSO, HE ADMITTED TO DRUGGING WOMEN SO THAT HE COULD
SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM AND THEN 68 WOMEN HAVE BACKED UP THIS
ACCOUNT, SO.
IT IS SO OFFENSIVE TO EMMETT TILL.
ANY FAMILY OF A WRONGFULLY CONVICTED PERSON SHOULD BE
OUTRAGED BY THIS.
THE NET IS VERY WIDE.
SHE IS BASICALLY CREATING THIS FALSE EQUIVALENCY BETWEEN
EMMETT TILL'S DEATH WHICH WAS THIS EGREGIOUS ACT, TORTUROUS
ACT OF VIOLENCE AND THEN SHE TRIES TO CREATE THIS FALSE
EQUIVALENCY BY SAYING IN THE CASE OF
BILL COSBY:
SHE IS COMPARING HIS MURDER COSBY NOT BEING ABLE TO DO
STANDUP.
CAMILLE, GOOGLE IMAGE LYNCHINGS AND THEN SHUT YOUR
STUPID MOUTH BECAUSE THIS IS SO OFFENSIVE.
IT IS A REAL THING THAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS DAY.
ERIC GARNER WAS LANCE SOMEWHAT ARGUE BY THE NYPD.
THERE WERE TWO BLACK MEN WHO WERE JUST LYNCHED IN
OKLAHOMA RECENTLY.
BILL COSBY IS NOT ONE OF THESE PEOPLE.
BILL COSBY IS NOT BEING LYNCHED OKAY.
I HAVE DONE LONG EXPLANATIONS OF WHAT LYNCHING WAS BACK IN THE
DAY, YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
IT IS THE MOST GRUESOME THING
YOU WILL EVER HEAR.
IT IS NOTHING, YOU LOST A
STANDUP ROUTINE.
BILL COSBY AND HIS WIFE ARE DOING THE CLARENCE
THOMAS STRATEGY.
TO BE FAIR TO BILL COSBY, HE HAS DONE SOME
WONDERFUL THINGS FOR THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY BUT A
LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY
WELL BEFORE THIS NEWS CAME OUT WERE ALSO ANNOYED AT HIM BECAUSE
HE WOULD GO AROUND YELLING AT KIDS PULL YOUR PANTS UP, IT IS
ALL THE PERSONAL RESPONSE ABILITY, KIND OF SAYING IT IS
YOUR FAULT.
THAT WAS AT LEAST WAS HOW IT WAS PERCEIVED SO NOW,
INSTEAD OF TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND PULLING HIS
PANTS UP, HE GOES AND TALKS ABOUT LYNCHINGS OR HE GETS HIS
WIFE TO DO IT WHICH IS WHAT CLARENCE THOMAS DID.
THERE IS
NO RACISM AND THAT IS WHY HE IS NOMINATED BY REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENTS OF THE SUPREME COURT AND THEN WHEN HE IS ACCUSED,
HIGH-TECH LYNCHING.
DON'T DO THAT.
IT IS INCREDIBLY DISRESPECTFUL TO THE MEMORIES OF ALL THE
PEOPLE WHO SUFFER THROUGH THAT.
HE IS OF ADVANCED AGE AND HIS LEGACY IS TARNISHED AND NEVER
COMING BACK YOU WOULD THINK IF YOU WANTED TO BALANCE THE LEDGER
IN ANY WAY WHEN YOU ARE OF THIS ADVANCED AGE, YOU DO WHAT YOU
CAN TO CLEAR ALL OF THIS WRONG AND NOT DOUBLE DOWN WHEN YOU ARE
AN OCTOGENARIAN.
THIS IS HOW YOU WERE GOING TO BE REMEMBERED
BY GIVING A DEPOSITION SAYING THAT YOU
DRUGGED WOMEN, BEING CONVICTED NOW SAYING THAT THIS IS AN
OUTRAGE, REMEMBER LYNCHING?
IT'S WORSE THAN IT COULD'VE EVER BEEN.
ONE MORE POINT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE WHICH FRUSTRATED
ME, SHE TALKS ABOUT SINCE WHEN ARE ALL ACCUSERS TRUTHFUL?
THAT IS SO DEMEANING TO ALL WOMEN THAT COME FORWARD AND HAVE
THE COURAGE AND BRAVERY TO COME FORWARD.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
FALSE ACCUSATIONS, IT IS SUCH A SMALL PERCENTAGE.
THEY ESTIMATE
ABOUT 2% MOST WOMEN DON'T EVEN COME FORWARD ABOUT THE SEXUAL
ASSAULT OR RAPE SO THE FACT THAT SHE IS QUESTIONING WOMEN'S
TRUTH.
58 WOMEN, THAT OF COME FORWARD THAT WE DON'T KNOW HOW
MANY BETTER VICTIMS THERE MIGHT BE, IT IS SO UNBELIEVABLY
IRRESPONSIBLE AS A WOMAN AND SO DAMNING TO HALF OF OUR COUNTRY.
