after the daily posts attacking the woman

I watched it happen...

Isn't questioning the accuser's character a popular deflection that we've seen time and time again

Why do we expect perfect victims?

Wouldn't you expect a survivor to have been affected by the trauma?

She details a rather lengthy list and history of trauma

Bottom line, and I think I posted this reply in this thread already, she's speaking on the industry

i.e. both things can be true

These artists definitely did a lot to elevate black culture

No doubt, and I don't think anyone would argue against that

But they are also entertainers, and the entertainment industry is rife with these stories

i.e. both things can be true

Some 'conscious' 'backpack' 'neo-soul' artists...could also be scumbags

Talib presents his achievements...as if that resolves the allegations

It doesn't.

I am a child of The Cosby Show generation

That was definitely a revelation for me

Doesn't change the impact that show had on me as a child

Or his achievements in society

...it also doesn't mean he wasn't a serial rapist...

Both things can be true.
