First it was Bill Cosby and now Morgan Freeman. Who will be next? James Earl Jones?


If they really are guilty then I have no sympathy for them, but it seems they were convicted solely because of their skin colour and political affiliations.

There was never any evidence against Cosby except for the testimony of "victims" and yet he was still convicted.

If the same happens to Morgan Freeman will the US public finally wake up and say enough is enough?

OMG, this news about Morgan Freeman is unbelievable. I have so much respect for this great actor. Until these accusations are proven I'm holding off my criticism.

That was my first reaction, until I watched the news clip in the other thread 😐

You're an IDIOT!!

Ever hear of HARVEY WEINSTEIN, KEVIN SPACEY, CHARLIE ROSE???...

STOP pulling the race card, dumb fuck.

I wager "SpiderPIG" fits you right to a T!

Which goes to show that rapists, perverts, mass murderers, child molesters, racists, misogynists, misandrists, and all other variants of scumbag come in all races and nearly equal proportion.

And BOTH genders! It's mostly FEMALE teachers who begin affairs with male minors.

Is it? Bloody hell I wish I'd had a teacher like that.

"Is it? Bloody hell I wish I'd had a teacher like that."

Lol. Me too. It is noteworthy that female teachers busted for having sex with their underage students receive far less stiffer sentences than do men. Female privilege. Don't let their whining about inequality fool you.

Less stiff? Nice pun. πŸ˜‚

Yeah, no - this one I'm not gonna believe...

Freeman hasn't been convicted of anything. Stop making shit up.

"Political affiliations"?

Since when does being a liberal Democrat make you a target of the media? If anything it gives you cover.

reply

He looks more like a classical liberal. He was one the favorite actors of Eastwood, after all. I'd say he's in the line of people like Jonathan Pie, Dershowitz or Dave Rubin, who are seen by modern leftists as traitors.

This is not a "black" thing but a male thing...that is if you watch the news and catch the numerous allegations that have flooded the media in the past 6 months.
It has also become increasingly diluted..with no distinction being made between what might be called inappropriate remarks and uncomfortable flirting with assault and harassment.
Some of the allegations against Freeman seem, so far, more along the lines of inappropriate at times but hardly anything I see that he could be charged with. Except in the court of public opinion.

Yes and no. Cosby was taken down without evidence because of the Pound Cake speech. The whole thing started there:

This is political. Race only matters in the sense that they couldn't allow a black celeb speak against current political agenda, which needs black people to play the oppressed victim role.

I agree with this...This is the reason I've always believed..
