I watched my favorite episode of Boondocks, "The Trial of R. Kelly" over a year ago. I watched Dave Chappelle's "Piss on You" parody four years ago. I never watched the actual R. Kelly tapes because that's not how I roll. Besides, other people had watched them, and many Comicview performers had entire acts based on them. So I could cobble together what was going on. R. Kelly performed sexual acts with minors on tape, peed on them, then clearly identified himself for the camera. That was nasty enough for me to imagine.
Then today, I read I thought we learned our lesson with R. Kelly? by Samhita on Feministing. I thought the video was going to be one of those shown on BET Uncut.
No. It was a video of Akon violently assaulting a teenage girl.
Just like when Dick Cheney shot that old man in the face, the victim is apologizing for the "one mistake that [she] made."
So far, Akon, the perpetrator of the crime has made no comment.
And why is this predator not in jail?

R. Kelly's not in jail yet?

I had to listen to "I Wanna Love You" on the PA system in Staples today while I waited for a file box that the store didn't even have. I was not a happy camper. And, to add insult to injury, I had to hear a trio of 11-year-olds singing the unrated version as they repeatedly passed by me in the aisles.
I don't wanna listen to any of his songs either, the "Sweet escape" came on at the perfect time this morning right when I had to turn on my hair dryer. Glad I couldn't hear it.
I just added your blog site to my blogroll, I pray you would give some thought to doing the same.
