BILL COSBY HAS broken his silence amid a flood of rape accusations in a very brief interview with The New York Post’s Page Six.
More than two dozen women have come forward to accuse him of having drugged and raped them. The alleged incidents go as far back as the 1960s.
In the interview, Cosby also addressed how his wife, Camille Cosby, has weathered the allegations and ongoing public scrutiny.
“Love and the strength of womanhood,” he said.
Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And, you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love.
“Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind,” Cosby told the publication’s Stacy Brown, who noted that he frequently writes for African-American publications.

Cosby declined to address the rape and sexual assault allegations, though. According to the report, he’s been advised not to discuss the ongoing cases with the media.
Brown wrote that the comedian, speaking from his Massachusetts home, sounded “upbeat” on the phone.
The Page Six interview ended abruptly, though, when Cosby told the reporter that “they” don’t want him talking to the media.

So Bill Cosby is an suspected racist rapist now????…..
Sure all written media is black and white,
Unless you have coloured print….
He brings up the black media but they have as much interest in the black women who were allegedly assaulted.
Does this smell like to chloroform to you?
So he thinks black media treats him nicer than general media…
Is he implying that general media treats him negatively because he’s black? As in he considers this a race issue?
I’d be more inclined to say that black media is reluctant to call him a rapist, because it itself is racist in favour of blacks.
Regardless, it’s a smart move for him to say that, the pragressives won’t know what to do. Continue calling him a rapist out of fear of being labeled a rape apologist by their peers or stop slamming him out of fear of being called a racist.
But wouldn’t the black media actually be reluctant to call him a rapist, in case they were accused of simply calling him a rapist to avoid being accused of racism because they refused to call him a rapist because he’s black?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN????
Tis a tad confusing to say the least.
He is the one that brought race into it, some people are so fooled and deluded……
Was it the same “black media” which upheld the standards when OJ was on trial for murder?
Let the courts try him
No David it’s not because these are new allegations and numerous
He sounds racist against white people.
When did trial by media take over the justice system jnstead of trial in a court of law ?
Alas Mark he actually cannot be tried as the Statute of Limitations saves him from a Trial. All that can be done is a civil case, which will never say he actually committed the crime, it will just say on the balance of probabilities that he may have and is thus liable financially, but will not be convicted or see any jail time.
If I ever get into trouble with the law can I use the black media to back me up?
Typical black man Mike. What’s that supposed to mean?
Chip on shoulder
Filthy pervert
Trial by media going on here. He must have pissed the system off somehow
Why is he bringing race into it hoping it will save his ass
I think that’s his indirect way of looking to the “Black media” for backup. Kinda makes you feel like he’s bracing himself.
It’s just J E L L O
