      I was mildly uncomfortable with black people as a young child, but my love for comedy made me accept Bill Cosby and many others.

      I will not let his shitty actions keep those lessons from me. It has been a good example for me of burning the speaker for transgressions, not the completely unrelated message.

      Seems the UK is going through their own Cosby moment right now with the David Walliams allegations

        Walliams has been openly a creep for a long time, whether it was confirmed criminal or not. I don’t think it’s the same. There’s just a line of behaviour somewhere where buying books for your kid from a creep crosses from acceptable to unacceptable.
