That's all very true and very sad but it's not at all what happened with Cosby. Even though Cosby is black he was a male celebrity in the 70s/80s and back then there was an extremely horrible culture of male celebrities drugging and raping women in a very open way (it still happens these days but it's not as blatant as it was back then.)

Reading about how women were used in the entertainment industry is extremely disturbing. There are cases where someone was literally drugged up in a room full of people and no one helped them and no one said anything afterwards. With that kind environment I'm not surprised Cosby got away with it for so long.

I'm not saying that's what happened with Cosby, I'm saying that the black community has very old, very good reasons to want proof for rape allegations. And wanting proof is not some kind of moral crime.

I understand that but I really don't think it's relevant to Cosby or Whoopi at all. I think Whoopi, if anything, was acting more out of self protection for her career and not wanting to burn bridges.

Wanting proof is not a moral crime but the narrative that anyone was out to lynch a black man is just not a valid criticism in this case. Cosby had money and power and he was in a much more powerful position then those women he (allegedly) took advantage of.

There have been rumors about Cosby for YEARS as well, years before the public had caught on. Many people in Hollywood just tend to turn a blind eye to what goes on there, and I wouldn't be surprised if Whoopi is that type (from some of the other things she's said, I really think she is.)

He admitted in 2005 that he acquired Qualuudes in order to drug women for sex.
