        They're gonna have to invent a new word, because unconscionable, despicable & horrific do not adequately express how I feel after Bill Cosby USED Emmett Till's murder as a defense for his #RAPE conviction in the same week the @LegacyMuseum opened.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/legacy-museum-opens-montgomery-alabama-highlight-slavery-lynchings-n869686 …

        The depths this man and his employees will go to try to thwart justice... he should be ashamed for even remotely insinuating a correlation, let alone touting it as an example to proclaim innocence.

        Cosby's name will never belong in the same breath at Emmett Till. I am really offended by the comparison.

        Is it true that Bill Cosby's publicist got him a job repping the new Quaalude & they're calling it the "thigh-spreader"? #TimesUp

        That's reprehensible. His death was beyond tragic and a dark moment in this nation's history.

        This is all so sad to watch. I grew up watching the Cosby Show with my mom before elementary. It's a tough lesson to see that there's so much more that goes on beyond the camera. Sucks to realize that at the end of the day it was all just a script

        Here is a hard Lesson. Bill Cosby is NOT Mr Huxable. You can continue to watch it. While he played him on TV, the creation of the character was also the product of the show writers, directories and others on the set.

        Also, because someone is a good artist doesn't make them unaccountable. Take artists off pedestals. You can continue liking "The Cosby Show" that is fine. Just understand there is a difference between the actor and the character. This should be a lesson.

        I don’t recall Emmit Till ever drugging anyone, or having sex with semi-conscious victims.

        Bill Cosbys Publicist compared his case to Emmett Till lynching so sad she should be fired. Cosby did terrible things to women. Emmitt Till was beaten and tortured to death. The Till family deserves an apology.

        That is grotesquely disrespectful of Emmett Till, his mother, and every other person victimized by racism and violence. How dare he?

        To compare Emmett Till to Bill Cosby is disgusting and the audacity this publicist had to say it with a straight face is despicable.
