See what happens when blacks don't own their media? We get bullshit articles like this one.

I think they should continue to air "The Cosby Show", but not for those reasons. There are other people there on that show who we loved just as much, if not more. Bill Cosby wasn't the only one to make the show. They should continue to get their royalties, and God knows Mrs. Cosby should. That poor lady!

Rapist comes in ALL Races Bill Cosby is no exception. No matter how many movies He's been in or made. Being accused by MULTIPLE Women of rape is CAUSE for concern & drugging Women SPEAKS VOLUMES of a PROBLEM. Then His scolding of Black Ppl basically blaming Black Ppl for Their circumstances as IF it wasn't systematic racism or the Oppression of Black Ppl too ensure that Black Ppl stay below even Him who Hollywood have taken under Their wing as is done for MANY Entertainers..Where was Bill Cosby during & after the Civil Rights Movement???? & Does Bill being an Actor makes Him a Leader of Whom? dam sure NOT of Black Ppl...How too be an Entertainer is all I see Bill has shown Black Ppl how too be a good Entertainer of Them.

Thank You BET for showing objectivity. How does one justify attempting to destroy a human being based upon NO EVIDENCE, no corroborating witnesses, criminal prosecution and conviction? Why have the allegations made by women of questionable character, integrity and questionable mental stability being taken as gospel? If these women are to be believed then there are some serious questions that should be asked of them. Yes, I want to know, why an adult woman accepted travel and accommodation invitations from a man they knew was married? Why did they accept meetings in non-business type environments? Why did they meet with a married man, go to a meeting place unaccompanied? When they arrived and his wife was not present and apparently no one else was present either; they stay? Why did they feel so comfortable, so familiar with Mr. Cosby; they were not members of his circle of friends or family. This is basic personal safety protection and professional business conduct folks. Listening to their accounts I have heard their accounts of drinking alcohol; one stated that she was "loaded", one had just gotten out of rehab.; but was drinking alcohol none the less. Several of the women said that they given, accepted and self administered pills not knowing what they were. One of the women said, that she avoided intercourse by saying she had an infection that might be transmitted to his wife. She had to presence of mind to say that; but it never occurred to her to bite the penis while she was being "forced" to perform oral sex. Another woman reports that even after she was sexually assaulted she continued a relationship, accepted trips, gifts and money. This all going to lack of credibility and reliability; along with very poor judgement. Now, the cherry on top, these women are telling their stories of alleged incidences which happened 40, 30, and 20 years ago. At a time when Mr. Cosby is coming back onto entertainment/media scene and one can only wonder, why now? If one is to believe their allegations; then one must also recognize that they were complicit and culpable.

Michael Jackson was ACCUSED and ACQUITTED in a court of law and we still listen to his music. This man has never seen a jail cell or court room and public opinion is saying he's guilty. So NO his show should not be taken off the air. It's not right. If they show proof, charge him and then convict, then they should act appropriately.

If they can still air 7th Heaven after Stephen Collins admitted molesting little girls than Bill Cosby should be allowed the same consideration for something he has been accused of face the facts
