I remember hearing something about how the parents of girls living with R Kelly are extremely concerned that they're being held against their will in his house.
I dunno if it's against their will or not, but he's definitely got a harem at the moment. Cults are coming up big in 2018.
Yeah, it’s not in the same ballpark, but it does fit into the narrative about the music industry’s willingness to overlook stuff like that for its superstars - as far back as guys like Elvis. He’s standing on stage while thousands of people looking on, talking about how he can’t decide if he enjoyed kissing an underage girl because she “looks like that.” He says “why do you look like that?” like it’s a compliment, but what it really is, is justification for his actions, while thousands of people laugh and cheer on.
I was going to say.....maybe an artist loses some fans/friends for speaking out, but he loses a shit ton of credibility for not speaking out.
I don’t get the race angle ‘We were doing it at the detriment of black women and girls’ Not sure why it matters if the girls were black, white, latina or asian. Guy is a major POS nobody stopped, people in power who worked with him should just take the L and not try to explain their inaction.
I could be way off, but I think people were insinuating that no one (including the black community) believed the girls, or reacted for the girls, or worried for the girls because they are black. If they were white, people would have been more up in arms.
Yeah, thinks he’s saying people were so willing to overlook stories to defend a man that they could just be another black man being persecuted because of his success, at the detriment of black girls.
There’s all kinds of terrible statistics about black female victims and how under reported and under investigated crimes against them are.
Black women, hookers, and homeless people are like the nobody pays any attention when they die trifecta.
for those that missed the show, the girl on right was the one that Mom rescued from the Hotel. I think the girl on left and the girl from Orlando, Azreil Clary, are still with him. Maybe a 3rd girl as well.
Yep, it’s a lot easier to pretend sex workers and homeless are less than human and criminalize their existence.
