Rape Allegation Double Standard: Liberal Elites Turn On Bill Cosby--But Not Bill Clinton
By effrey Lord, July 17, 2015 NewsBusters
Why are the liberal media and other liberal elites turning on the black Bill Cosby - while supporting the white Bill Clinton?
The cries of racist double standards surrounding grand jury decisions in the case of Ferguson’s Michael Brown and Staten Island’s Eric Garner have been loud and clear. Coupled with movements protesting sexual assault on college campuses and in the American military, both of which have won much publicized support from President Obama, the contrast between the treatment of the black actor/comedian Cosby and the ongoing celebration of the white former President could not be more conspicuous.
Like Cosby, Clinton has been credibly accused of both rape and repeated sexual assaults. Yet powerful institutions and people in the liberal worlds of entertainment, politics and academia have made a point of cutting ties with Cosby while continuing to honor or even contribute to a project of Clinton’s.
