Dear Mr. Cosby,
I'm the Super Duper Senior and I am a former fan of yours. I grew on your material, from "The Cosby Show" to "Picture Pages" and reruns of "Fat Albert". Me and my family looked up to you and all the contributions you have done for the African American community.
However, my view of you has changed as of recent. I admit, I had no idea of earlier allegations against you. The most negative news I heard towards you were a paternity suit that went nowhere in the mid 90s and the words of Janice Dickinson. I openly admit that Dickinson sounded attention starved and mentally ill in my eyes. It took the words of another comedian, Hannibal Burgess, to make my ears even perk up a little bit. And then, it all happened...
As woman after woman came out with accusations, people began making the issue about race, while I looked on in awe. I had a close relative say "See, this is what happens when you mess with too many white women", which left me totally disgusted. I know that most of the time, rape isn't about race or even gender, it's about power and control. And then came your 2005 court testament where you admitted to obtaining Quaaludes in order to drug and have sex with women and here is where my respect for you died.
I can't watch anything you are affiliated with the exception of "A Different World". All of this makes me go back to Janice Dickinson and why she acts the way she does. Maybe your actions are what made her that way. However, I want to thank you for the scholarship and other contributions you made to the African American community. I am glad that your wife and others willing to defend you to the very end. All I can say, that as an African American and a regular guy with a blog, I am not one of those people because I've helped counsel friends of different races after a rape. The trauma they experience is devastating to both them and the people around them. I only hope that you can face up to what has happened and hope that there aren't anymore victims of someone once know as "America's Favorite Dad".
Sincerely,
Me
P.S. I know you already know this but "Leonard part 6" and "Ghost Dad" suck so much ass...
