[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do they annul a marriage if it wasn't valid in the first place? She was underaged, and they used fake documents to lie about her age. I don't understand how anyone can side with or defend this POS.

There are so many videos mocking what's happened. I was shocked by Chance the Rapper's comment about how he didn't believe the accusers because they were black women. Someone asked about change. It needs to start within the AA community. Stop protecting these monster's and making excuses for them.[/quote]
I thought he was saying that black women are too often not believed in cases like this, not that he didn't believe these black women. [/quote]
I think his interview was edited, but he did say that. He posted the full interview this weekend and he said “We’re programmed to really be hypersensitive to black male oppression … But black women are exponentially [a] higher oppressed and violated group of people just in comparison to the whole world. Maybe I didn’t care because I didn’t value the accusers’ stories because they were black women. Usually, n—-s that get in trouble for s— like this on their magnitude of celebrity, it’s light-skinned women or white women. That’s when it’s a big story. I’ve never really seen any pictures of R. Kelly’s accusers”

I think he’s explaining what he thought at the time when he worked with Kelly versus now. He viewed Kelly through the lense of an oppressed man. It seems more like he just wouldn’t consider who the victims were and give them the benefit of the doubt because it was more important to believe Kelly based on society’s treatment of black men.

I do think his use of the word accuser is telling. If he really believed the women, I think he’d say victim as others have.

His comments really are the epitome of why Kelly has gotten to where he is (even though he is openly a predator) and why so many women aren’t believed when they are assaulted. [/quote]
