This Bill Cosby Pervert Thing

  
Can't get this Cosby thing out of my mind. When I worked at Bradley Airport I met him passing through the Terminal building going on my daily chores as Airport Electrician. Of all the so-called recognizable actors and actresses I have met he was the most aloof. During those years at the Airport I have met my share of entertainers from Liberace, Sugar Ray Leonard and Robert Ryan just to mention a few.. Gene Pitney and I had coffee together in the coffee shop every time he traveled the world...
      I would say that Cosby's attitude at the time was stand offish. Like I'm better than you. All those other famous people were very social and shook my hand with a big smile saying something nice.. I had no idea Cosby was a predator that preyed on very young white actresses for oral sex. At that point in American history 60s, 70s, that was really not the thing to do. I guess being a token black actor at the time had its advantages... I think its behavior like this that sets a bad example for everyone not just black youth. They will continue to be called a "they" and not a "we" ... if behavior like this continues... I know that at the time I did not like him for treating me like he did. I remember seeing him a few times getting into a Limo on the lower level. And so again what goes around comes around. As it turns out, all he is a perverted dirty old man who used his popularity at the time and took advantage, embarrassed and hurt young woman. He got caught with his pants down... You could have at least said hello to me, Billy...
