The women who attacked me ARE bitter...and I have plenty of reasons to call them bitches. Mostly because they behave as such and we ride in the same circles. Apologies if you take offense to that...but I try hard to shoot straight. It is what it is.

Okay. that's a mouthful but I'll attempt. The PARTICULAR individuals who responded in this manner...and as such earned the DVS Honorary "BITTER BITCH" emblem....have a history of dogpiling on anyone that has an issue contrary to their own. These PARTICULAR individuals have a tendency to take an antagonistic approach to anyone voicing ANYTHING contrary to their opinion. I have taken note and others in my circle have as well. As such...I rarely engage. However...when someone makes a comment about how people are going to start caping for Bill and say that its a "distraction"...and I reply that in truth....ALL of this shit is a distraction....instead of asking me why...I'm now misogynistic. **yeshrug**

1. I love how you are just skipping over the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
2. I love how the state conveniently waited until the statute of limitations was almost up to press the case. This is a headline grab...I doubt very seriously that any new evidence has presented itself. HOWEVER...I'm willing to let the courts handle it and I pray that ultimate justice is servied.
3. I'll repeat myself. I am not condoning rape. I am not caping for Bill Cosby and saying "HE'S INNOCENT". A question was posed as to whether this Bill Cosby story is a distraction. My answer then and my answer now is "Yes". It's sensationalized journalism...America loves to tear down people in public...ESPECIALLY when its a black man. Bill has earned no friends and is owed no favors. I'm not a fan of how he has addressed the community lately...specifically the demographic of where I am from. But when I see people screaming "YES!!! GET HIM!!"...I call it as I see it. I know when I'm being manipulated...I know when the media is seeking for easy headlines....and I know that...based upon this reply and the reply of the BITTER BITCH BRIGADE I alluded to....it's gonna do huge numbers.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. It was appreciated.
