Bill Cosby Foe Hannibal Buress Joked About Date Rape

Hannibal Buress, the comedian who called out Bill Cosby for "date rape," seems to understand the nature of most date rape charges.

From his  2012 album, Animal Furnace, he says:

I was out one night, it was 5 in the morning. I’m talking with this girl. I decided to take a swing. I said ‘How about we go back to my place for some food and some drinks?’ Most women would say ‘Yeah, that sounds cool.’ or ‘Nah, I’m all right.’ But what she said was: ‘What type of food are we talking about? And what drinks are we talking about? Do you expect me to have sex with you if I come back to your place?” If you come back to my place at 5 in the morning, eat all my food, drink all my drinks, and you don’t want to have sex, I don’t want you in my life at all. What type of person would do something like that? That sounds like something a sociopath would do. Come to your place at 5 in the morning, eat your food, drink your drinks, leave at 6:30 without fucking like it’s cool? That’s a passive burglary.

And as soon as she said that, I should have clocked that this woman was crazy, but I was kinda drunk so I go, ‘Aww, she’s quirky.’

So we talk for a little bit. She says stuff. I say stuff. She says stuff. I say stuff. You know how conversation works. I think it’s going well, so I go in for the kiss. She says ‘WHAT!’ You think you can just kiss me? Men think they’re entitled to whatever they want from women, they objectify us!’ Started going on this crazy feminist rant. It’s fine if you want to be a feminist, but I think 5 in the morning, after the bar closes, is a weird time to jump on your soapbox. ‘Men just want to fuck!’ [she said]. [Buress responds]: ‘Yeah, it’s 5 in the morning, everybody wants to, that’s why they stayed out to 5, because it didn’t happen at 2.’

So we keep talking for some reason. She wants to know my address, she’s showing interest. I tell her my address. She wants to know my address, plus the cross street. I tell her. She texts it to herself. I said ‘What’s wrong?’ She says, ‘I have to be safe. Three out of 10 women who get raped don’t report it.’ I said, ‘One out of one dudes is walking away from this conversation.’ She said, ‘What’s wrong?’ I said ‘You insane lady, that’s what’s wrong. And it sounds very risky to hang out with you. And I didn’t know this about myself until today, but I don’t hang out with anybody who quotes rape statistics. There’s nobody in my life who does that. That’s such a weird trait to have. I have to get away from you, cause I’m a black man in Scotland on a work visa. They’re gonna believe any bullshit you say.’

She was super drunk in that moment. She couldn’t handle rejection. She kept saying ‘Hannibal, please. Let me explain.’ [He says] ‘No, you’ve explained enough with your words.’ [She says] ‘Why, Hannibal? What’s wrong?’ [He says] ‘You seem insane and unstable. That’s what’s wrong.’ [She says] ‘Hannibal, I just want to educate people.’ [He says] ‘This is a weird-ass time for that type of class.’ [She says] ‘Hannibal, give me 30 seconds.’ [He says] ‘No, I don’t want to talk to you.’ [She says] ‘Please stop walking away.’ [He says] ‘No. Go away.’ [She says] ‘Pla…’ [He says] ‘Hey lady, you’re acting like a rapist right now. Because I just said I don’t want to talk with you. You keep on talking at me. You are raping my eardrums and I feel very threatened. No means no.’

So, we’re dating now.
