210345, I think the truth is messy and everyone involved wanted it to go away.

You can just see how a 26-year-old Cocky and Arrogant Kobe would have never have thought that a girl didn't want to have sex with him.
At the same time, I think that if Kobe had any understanding that he could have been perceived as coercing the girl into doing something she didn't want to do, he would have backed the fcuk off.
But Kobe is given no benefit of the doubt by some it it directly relates to him being a black man. Because he is a black man, despite living a very public life and having no record of doing this before or after the incident in his entire life, his version of the story has no weight when going against a white woman who we literally know nothing about. A story like this only lives on when it involves a black man.
