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.
