Cosby Trial Ends. Nobody Won.

They won't try him again.  There is little the law can do to him now...
It's a sad ending, to a fabulous career for the funnyman, who brought his family into America's living rooms in the 1980s, after bringing his "real" family into our homes via his comedy records* and cartoons.

Bill Cosby's "aw shucks" personality did more to persuade America to elect a black man as prsident decades later than anyone acknowledges.  Those "Ebony and Ivory" moments broke stereotypes and were funny for their common household humor.

If we can separate the artist from the man, the philanthropist and social groundbreaker from the heinous alleged criminal who preyed on others, then we can appreciate how Bill Cosby was successful in shaping our American landscape and our shared family values.

He opened doors, and we walked through them.
