The previously celebrated comedian and actor now faces up to ten years in jail, and former fans and celebrities alike have taken to social media to give their two cents on the matter. Next up to speak their piece? The Game. Posting a series of photos to his Instagram page that read “Black Lives Splatter,” the Compton rapper wrote a lengthy caption about the case against Cosby.
Comparing the charging of Cosby to the non-indictment of the killers of Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, Keith Childress and Sean Bell, The Game lamented the justice system’s knack for letting officers who have killed young black men go free.
Taking the stance that Cosby has been charged based on hearsay while officers have not been charged for crimes committed on camera, the rapper questioned why his alleged victims waited to share their stories. While calling rape a “huge deal,” The Game also shamed social media users for sharing Cosby memes:
Darren Wilson, who killed Mike Brown on camera, is FREE. George Zimmerman, who killed Trayvon Martin, is FREE. Timothy Loehman, who killed Tamir Rice seconds after arriving on the scene.. on camera, is FREE. Officers who shot Keith Childress 19 times for holding a cellphone they thought was a gun, are FREE. Officers who arrested Sandra Bland & detained her until her mysterious death, are FREE. All of the officers who shot 50 rounds into Sean Bell’s car, on his wedding day, killing him, are FREE ! I could go on all day, but you get the point… & again, y’all put Dr. Huxtable in jail off of word of mouth. I’m not here to say these women are liars or not because RAPE is a huge deal & I don’t wish that on any woman of any color… But whether or not he actually did anything, we won’t know because of the lack of evidence or proof & the duration from the point of the alleged assault to now…. Why did it take these women over 10 years to bring this to the light ? & while we out here laughing & making memes of a 70+ year old man who practically raised us all on tv as children….
The Game’s opinion on the Bill Cosby case rings similar to that of his fellow rapper Waka Flocka, who took to Twitter to state that he believes the comedian is being “framed.” Calling the entire case an “organized lie,” Waka concluded that the conspiracy was a ploy to bring down another “famous minority.” Actress Lark Voorhies on the other hand, took the stance that “Anyone who defends this man is defending the devil himself,” urging her followers to separate Cosby’s beloved characters from the man himself.
