Quote:Nope, but just like Brian Banks, false accusations happen.


You seem to be confused about what argument you're going with here. You want everyone on here to automatically assume Trump is guilty just because he's been accused, but then you use the example of Banks being accused of, but not guilty of a crime. Which is it? Are we supposed to react differently because of the color of the accused? How much money they have? You threw Clarence Thomas in the mix, a rich black guy...I guess that means we're supposed to react differently depending on how they vote??

In general if you had a co-worker who was accused of raping a 13 year old on top of sexually assaulting about a dozen other women, you'd NOT look at them slightly different? The likelihood of multiple people making up a story is far less probable than one person making up a story. They refer to that as a 'pattern of behavior.' I brought up Clarence Thomas because the accuser is coming forward several years after an alleged incident. The logic on this board is that all allegations need to take place practically immediately in order to be credible. I'm more inclined to believe in Trump's case that he acted inappropriately in at least some of these instances based on his own words and actions. Is that proof? No. Is it a logical conclusion? For me it is. You are missing my point if you do not understand my comments on race and money. All any black person needs to be is accused and they are presumed guilty until proven innocent. It was a response to another comment talking about how people are innocent until proven guilty. I used Banks as one simple and well known example of that. There are plenty others. Just like there are plenty of examples of wealthy white people with mountains of evidence against them who get a wrist slap like Brock Turner. Guilt is subjective when you can afford a good lawyer. Trump's trial for raping a 13 year old starts just before Xmas.
