[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This story has been going on for years but the music industry still embraces him. Didn't he do a duet with Lady Gaga? Plenty of people, blacks and whites, buy his music and attend his concerts. If he had done this to young white girls he'd be in jail. why haven't people like Oprah taken him to task? [/quote]
How telling that you think “people like Oprah”—black people—should take him to task when you admit all races support his music. Has it occurred to you that white people, too, have a responsibility to these black girls and have failed miserably? The only people who have spoken out are black people, even though whites run his record company, own Spotify and Apple and other platforms, and control distribution. The real question is why white people are so heartless and racist that you feel no responsibility here.[/quote]

In the thread about the preacher inappropriately touching Ariana Grande at Aretha Franklin’s funeral and cracking the Taco Bell joke, it was stated a number of times that white people needed to stay out of it because it was being ‘handled’ by the black community.

But now that people are wondering how R Kelly was able to get away with his behavior for so long (as if his entourage that aided him were not black just all white people around him all the time) the tune is how come white people aren’t more involved.

Which is it? If’s non black person calls out a black man on inappropriate behavior, they are racist. If a non black person doesn’t call out a black man’s behavior, they are racist. [/quote]
Why do white people always think this childish, unintelligent “damned if you do/don’t” whine is such a clever response? PP pointed out specific ways in which white people have helped prop up and enrich R Kelly, and your response is that a preacher at Aretha’s funeral blah blah blah. Stay on topic and stop dodging valid points.[/quote]
