EXCLUSIVE: Bill Cosby Urges Black Press to 'Push Forward'

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s ruling to vacate Bill Cosby’s conviction is not only about vindication for the comedian.

For Cosby, it is now about helping other Black men who were falsely accused.

He told the Black Press in an exclusive telephone conversation just hours after his release from a prison outside of Philadelphia.

“This is an opportunity that the Black Press, the writers, the men, and the women have now an opportunity with great intelligence, with great foresight, with great after sight, not just about Mr. Cosby, it is about what you saw, it is about what you know, and you must tell it, and you must be believed, and you have to put it in a way a level of intelligence,” Cosby insisted.

He was the beneficiary of some HORRIBLE choices by the prosecutor and judge. And that is why he was set free.

appealed to white racists.

Now he is trying to associate himself with innocent black people when he himself belongs in the same category as Trump.

He could have just shut up and lived out his last few months in peace.

But he wants to reclaim the age of when powerful men could rape the females they wanted to.

Hey hey HEY!!! Not happening puddin' Pop.

It was vacated for technical legal reasons.

If he's trying to play the victim here, he can just go...drug himself.

He really should go quietly in the night. His massive ego and thirst for the spotlight won’t let him.

I fucking hate that sociopath so much.

Also, is he still blind and half crippled? Because he was suddenly cured in prison.

Blowback is a thing, though. Here's hoping that "what goes around comes around" has the last word.
