Stop Defending R. Kelly
Full story: www.womanist-musings.com
Black women are continually accused of being angry and unreasonable, when we speak out against the harmful actions of abusive, violent, rapist, Black male celebrities. The fact that some find Kelly's music pleasant to listen to, should in no way invalidate the fact that he has a history of abuse. (Yes, I remember his so-called marriage to a teen-aged Aaliyah)
In the spam que, which contains comments I refuse to publish, on the various R. Kelly posts, there are a multitude of comments asking me to seek Jesus and to turn the other cheek. Only God has the right to judge I'm told, which makes me wonder why we have a judicial system in the first place. God did not create Black women to be abused by Black men because they can sing, act, or box. Everytime a Black woman allegeds wrong doing against a Black male celebrity, she was asking for it in some way, she was acting grown or she is nothing but a gold digger. It seems that once one achieves a level of fame, rape and violence are deemed an impossiblity. It is victim blaming at it's finest and it has to stop.
