Maybe he should've stuck to saying that the allegation is more credible after a well known fellow celebrity made an accusation, as opposed to the junkie ex-prostitute, and left race out of the equation altogether. That's a different, but still legitimate argument than the one that he's making.
That said, his point was that allegations of rape from a white woman against a black man have a very charged history, and once Beverly Johnson made the allegation, that is simply no longer a consideration. You can replace race with tribal/ethnic/national considerations and find that this continues to be an issue worldwide, and has been the entirety of recorded history. This is really a very legitimate point, and I think even Machiavelli would agree (Niccolo, not our resident one).
I think in most similar cases, this would be a more important point. But, I'd wager that there are not many people that really think of Bill Cosby much differently than if he were, in fact, white.
The only reason any of this is a big deal to these people is because Cosby is a Republican. Anyone famous that doesn't agree with obama seems to get targeted by the idiots on the left.

He campaigned for Obama in 20086 and defended the president’s name in 2012. Referring to Obama’s epic battles with Congress, Cosby said:

Doesn't mean he's a Republican, even if he espouses certain conservative beliefs at times.

The media that is trying to rip his name and fame apart are likely only doing it because of him having Conservative beliefs. It's all about the title to some news outlets. We all know it.
Oh man, can you imagine if someone said statements about the Ferguson cop were not credible because they were made by a black man...Oh, and they weren't.

If they had a career, they'd have a career no more.

Of course, I don't think anyone said that until ERC posted the thread title.
Dyson was explaining why Cosby's wife and daughter were going public. As close as he came is by way of explaining the strategy, he said "now you have a legitimate black woman... you gotta to have what? another legitimate black woman..." (and this was in context of discussing how racially charged the issue of white women being raped by black men). He then went on to say the strategy was pretty cynical.

Or they are ripping him apart because potentially dozens of women were raped or sexually assaulted and the left is quick to go to guilty until proven innocent in terms of rape.
I don't know if he did it or not. Does it seem plausible? Yes it does. Even if 9/10 of these women are lying, that is still at least two victims.
Is it possible this whole thing is bull****? Yes it is.
