Bitter Lake Presents Chris Riggins FAMEless Episode 2: The Whataboutism of Harvey Weinstein

"But what about Weinstein?" This the line that has become synonymous with defenders of black men who commit sexual assault.  You hear it so often in some sort of defense of Cosby's heinous actions.  Cosby's crimes can now be absolved since a white man was accused (no found guilty in a New York court )of something equally as odious.  This is not what equality looks like my fellow brothers and sisters.  Yes, from time immemorial, black men have been accused of, convicted of, killed because of alleged sexual assaults. We acknowledge that. The scales of justice historically have not tipped in favor of the black man.  All that being said, trying to discredit one's argument, or belittle the TRUTH by trying to call them hypocrite, WITHOUT proving the action wrong (in this case rape/sexual assault) does nothing to prove your point, it just becomes a classic case of Whataboutism. We discuss this in the latest episode.
