[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
Blaming “society” is a cop out. R Kelly continued his reign of terror because in both cases witnesses refused to cooperate and his record label turned a blind eye. If the witnesses and  more importantly the victims and their families had cooperated during his trial that would’ve been the last we heard from the Pied Piper.[/quote]
Where did you see “society” mentioned in my post? I named specific entities who are culpable. Don’t use my post as a springboard for your kneejerk rant.[/quote]
The response is to the first part and blaming people who buy his music or the Oprah’s of this world. [b]The fact is if the parents of Aaliyah and the young girl in the video had pressed charges, Robert Sylvester Kelly would be in prison. In both cases the victims denied the accusations and that has nothing to do with people buying his music or the Oprah’s of the world.[/b] Personally, I stopped buying his music when the first allegations surfaced but my dollars won’t protect the innocent, only a jail cell and serious counseling to come to terms with the his own abuse and the abuse of others will do that.[/quote]

This right here!

Every single parent that denied it was their daughter, failed their daughter, including Aaliyah’s parents. [/quote]
