"To suggest that Cosby’s conviction and sentencing are invalid not because he didn’t commit a crime, but because other (white) rapists have gotten away with their crimes, is a peculiar logic. It reveals a disturbing impulse: the desire to weigh black men’s social standing against white men’s, even to the detriment of all women. If Cosby were to (further) evade punishment for his crimes, would that be a mark of racial progress? It’s an uncomfortable thought, a callous calculus that loses sight of the humanity at the heart of any pursuit of justice. Demanding accountability of black abusers is not an inherently anti-black proposition."
