Photo: Paul Archuleta/Getty Images Last month, Bill Cosby was released from prison after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his 2018 sexual-assault conviction, citing a prosecutorial error. The overwhelming response was one of shock and dismay: Over the past few decades, Cosby has been accused of drugging and assaulting dozens of women. Among those celebrating his release, though, was the actress Phylicia Rashad, who played Clair Huxtable on The Cosby Show.
“I wasn’t surprised,” said Marie Thomas, a 2019 Spelman College alumna. “Rashad and Cosby represent an all too popular dynamic I’ve witnessed at my HBCU. A relationship dynamic that means prioritizing Black men over everyone, especially yourself.” Because of HBCU’s unequal funding, poorly managed Title IX offices, and old-guard administrations that refuse to address anti-Black misogyny and homophobia on campus, survivors of all identities are still often failed by schools that refuse to adequately support them. In 2017, six women sued Howard University, claiming the school had failed to promptly respond to their reports of sexual assault, allowing an assailant to rape on campus again.
And when it comes to Bill Cosby, things become even more complicated. Cosby’s ’90s sitcom A Different World, which followed characters at a fictional historically Black college, is widely credited as a major driving force in the resurgence of HBCU attendance in the ’90s and ’00s. Since the ’90s, Cosby has joined various HBCU boards and donated millions of dollars to HBCUs across the country.
ClarissaMBrooks “If you think Howard University will fire Phylicia Rashad after she publicly celebrated the release of an admitted rapist, you have never attended an HBCU or worked at one… trust me — her name means more to them than the safety of Black women.” - Dr. Yaba Blay
ClarissaMBrooks Rashad retaining HowardUniv deanship after celebrating evasion of prison by Epstein-level serial rapist & unparalleled sociopath—someone who chillingly fooled whole world—is appalling & an affront to every victim of sexual abuse. Shame on them.
ClarissaMBrooks We can sit here and play music from the latest R&B songs talking about naughty things. BillCosby didn't need anything from ANY woman. You know who else the elite supremacists went after? Michael Jackson. BillCosby TheBlackChannel PhyliciaRashad B1
ClarissaMBrooks You see: all the Blacks know that the elite wants to destroy every living icon. Unlike normal court cases, BillCosby went to jail based on dozens of lies. Whose next? Obama? No...the elite need him. Eddie Murphy? No....too smart. Someone will be targeted, folks. Wait for it.
ClarissaMBrooks The article has a slant. While promoting HowardU stances on sexual assault, you thecut slap BillCosby in the face and whipped PhyliciaRashad for expressing her relief that he is out of a bad place. If I were Mrs Rashad, I would resign: to hell with the 'dark cloud' syndrome!
ClarissaMBrooks Who wrote this trash of an article? Couldn't finish reading.
ClarissaMBrooks You don't even know the half...world is doomed with false wisdom. Get a clue!
ClarissaMBrooks She was assaulted by BILL, no doubt
