Marc Lamont Hill Trashes Judge Joe Brown For Defending Bill Cosby...AND GUESS WHO IS MAD?

The debate between the activist and former criminal court judge illustrate the Black community’s divide over the case Black News Channel’s Marc Lamont Hill and former reality TV court Judge Joe Brown engaged in a heated debate on Thursday over the disgraced comedian Bill Cosby‘s recent release from prison during. Brown appeared on Hill’s TV news show, “Black News Tonight.” Hill would later tweet that the exchange, which came the day after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Cosby’s 2018 sexual assault conviction, left him “disgusted.” Hill, a professor at Cosby’s alma mater, Temple University, invited Brown to his show for a discussion on the issue after the two fired off opposing tweets on the reversal. In a segment that lasted over 15 minutes, the two went back and forth about Cosby and his accusers. While the two agreed in the interview that the legal manner of Cosby’s assault conviction was indeed unfair, they differed on what Cosby’s 2005 deposition at the center of the criminal case means. The deposition was part of a civil court case, in which Cosby disclosed that he obtained drugs to give to women he planned to pursue for sexual relations. Hill asked if Cosby should still be held accountable for his predatory behavior, to which Brown replied by calling attention to the accusers. “What about these women being accountable for their own behavior,” said Brown, who hosted show “Judge Joe Brown.” “They were groupies. Sex, drugs, rock and roll; sex, drugs, rap; sex, drugs, baseball; football; basketball; movies; television. See, it’s called being a groupie. We forgot what that term meant.” Brown continued, “The bimbos come to the party. They hang out, they get drunk, they snort lines of blow and they have a good time. They use the hall closets to give head, bathrooms to get down, and you go in to get your coat off of the bed and they’re laying on top of it doing somebody. See, that’s what that’s about.” When Hill contended that what Cosby did was not consensual because he drugged the women, Brown responded, “He gave them pills. He didn’t force it down their throats. He didn’t take advantage of them.” https://news.yahoo.com/marc-lamont-hill-judge-joe-142301841.html
