Bill Cosby And The Race Card

I should have expected something like this:

Comedian Eddie Griffin has said the Bill Cosby rape allegations are part of a conspiracy to bring down successful black men. During a recent interview published on Wednesday with website VladTV, Griffin speaks on the accusations against Cosby and said that 'there is a systematic effort to destroy every black male entertainer's image.' 'They want us all to have an asterisk by our name,' he said.

. . .

Griffin also referenced other examples including the 2003 rape allegations against Kobe Bryant and the child molestation allegations against Michael Jackson, according to the Daily Caller. 

One of the biggest obstacles confronting blacks (and any other demographic that paints itself as "oppressed") is not a nefarious conspiracy to bring them down. It's their own reflexive whining in the face of hardship or criticism, a tiresome sort of behavior that does not breed respect. Bill Cosby made his own bed and has to sleep in it, as did Kobe Bryant when he jumped a groupie's bones and Michael Jackson did when he got far too intimate with children. But perhaps it's irresistible to cry foul when considering the immense governmental and social weight behind every picayune grievance. All the more reason for me to steer clear of most people and never employ anyone; since I'm the designated bad guy, a mere harsh word or glance could invite charges of racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or anything else the whiners infesting modern society might dream up. But let me guess . . . my chosen path of least resistance is itself oppressive.
