Yeah. It *is* offensive and yes, I personally take offense to it. But let's move on.

See? Ugh ugh ugh. But yeah I should've made that clear but I'll endeavor to do so now: there is no way he is not a creepy ass sexual predator so anything I say about this issue will be through that lens. Anyone who thinks otherwise really isn't worth engaging.
So if *that's* what this discussion is about that I'll kindly bow out and let y'all cook.

A black man who systematically over the course of 40 years drugged and raped women. INCLUDING black women. THIS is the black man you want to wag your finger at the media for? This guy? Really?

Bill has earned

THIS is your prevailing "Bill ain't cool" rationale? Not the numerous sexual assaults?!?! So I'm to believe that Bill is a piece of shit because of his respectability politics bullshit, but not because he raped dozens of women and then tried to destroy them again with lawsuits and slander? That doesn't meet the "Bill ain't cool" bar but him telling you to pull your pants up is? You don't give a fuck about the women he assaulted but are offended about the condescending way he talked to and about black folk? Sir, if you have any questions as to why someone might call you a misogynist, please look no further.

But when I see people screaming "YES!!!
>GET HIM!!"...I call it as I see it.

BECAUSE HE IS A RAPIST AND A PREDATOR. Why is that so easy to overlook in favor of finger-wagging at the media?! Why is that narrative more important than the narratives of the 50-odd women he assaulted? I'm wholly confused by this.

I know when I'm being

The media is going to do what it's going to do. But if, in this case, that means a perp walk for the motherfucker who preyed on women, got away with it, and then preached about the ills of the black community? I'M HERE THE FUCK FOR IT. Fuck him. And fuck anyone who is so busy blaming the media and white people and whoever else for the deliberate and systematic sins of a disgusting piece of shit who doesn't deserve your deference, pity, or objectivity.
