ra it a racist attack. no, no, no. someone that could be a criminal. this is the problem. one of the things no. he cannot be a criminal. the mayor of tallahassee. he accepted a ticket from an undercover fbi agent and didn t report it. that s illegal. he s not under fbi investigation. let s be frank. why do black people have to be thieves and low i.q.lude to thee person is a thief for a second? donald trump is the criminal who raped pardon me, that s an analo analogy, america, no. if we want to talk, the problem is the language, we cannot divorce the language with the history and the fact that race is a part of what is happening here. if we ignore the fact race is part of our politics, if we try to be color blind and we look past it, we do not get to the root of the issue.
didn t report. there s many different reasons. everybody has unique reasons. one of the ones you see over and over is shame, fear of people not believing them because that is what happens over and over. and it is so striking that billionth cosby is going to go to jail now, rightfully, for a crime that was committed in 2004. it s not the 1980s, but it s a long time ago. as you said, there are so many other women who are coming out and talking about things, some of which took them many, many years to report. and then meanwhile, we have a man who wants to be on the supreme court. this is a job that he is seeking. people are saying, well, these claims about things that he did are too old to matter. the contrast between those two things is just really striking. it also shows people keep saying, well, brett kavanaugh, innocent until proven guilty. no, this is not a trial, first of all. second of all, no one is saying he s guilty of anything. we re saying let s have a fair
