We should just say that Trump must go to jail instead of suggesting that Cosby is innocent.

because I don't see McConnell giving him 125 years for sexually abusing women. McConnell would put him on the Supreme Court!

So I don't think it's the best equivalency. The white guy's accusers just came forward. I don't think the Black/White thing works so well in this case because both are wealthy especially cosby.
There are plenty of other cases where race is a huge factor in justice. I just don't see it in this particular one.

it was his celebrity status. The victims felt to their depths that no one would believe them. Please dont conflate colour and guilt.
