There have been a variety of reactions on social media, some arguing he is being targeted because he is  Black man, others saying the focus should be on the victims. However, Jemele Hill might have said it best, she wrote on Twitter, “Sure, I mourn the idea of Cosby — as in the TV show that made me want to attend a black college and heightened the importance of a black family. But my mom is a rape survivor and I survived a rape attempt as a preteen. I have negative fucks about what happens to Cosby.”

She continued, “There is great imbalance in our criminal justice system. We know this. But your position can’t be, because Cosby is black, he should get the right to rape without repercussions like a white dude. Trash position.”

Well said.
