This is wild contradictory. Why start paying attention now but also it's time to stop looking the other way?Ninjas dont even really be undercover. Society just doesnt really give a shit unless the posse has saddled up and started to ride, or its some lil chick they know. Which is why this shit is so weird to me. When Chappelle made a sketch it then became pop culture. So people can't play ignorant. Those in the know, knew back in the mid 90s. People just don't give a fuck. It's just the in thing to ride on now so that what they gone do. I've never been a Kells fan to begin with, so it wasn't much to boycott. But if you been riding with him this long... Whats the point on changing up now for??? None of this shit is new. Lifetime just made a movie with what was already out there. Just layin in the driveway, they ain't even have to look for it. If people are truly mad about it... THEN STAY MAD!!! Start on them muthafuckas in the church. White and black ones. Make this shit socially unacceptable longterm, and not just cause you're full of piss and vinegar because of a movie. I'm serious, this shit is woven into the fabric of every civilization since we started. Time to stop looking the other way.
Wrong for 100 days > wrong for 99 is why speak up now.
it's two separate issues though. They blame as much of EVERYTHING as they can on us, this is and has always been true and is the crux of the age old "you have to be twice as good as them" philosophy. See Obama.Listen
They want to make black people the face
It's fucked up.
Also the black ppl doing it are fucked up.
Brian singer rapes men and just won a golden globe last night
And I can mention other groups cause they mention us
We are the only ppl that say well don't talk about anyone else until you fix your shit
That rule don't apply to nobody else they happily chime in on our shit all the time
All the shit must stop but you'd be a fool to think they're not putting us out there on purpose and letting others slide
But in a case where the nigga they putting on blast is wild guilty, my first argument isn't but yall do it too. Not when the people being sacrificed are our lil sistas. Because that's who's bring damaged and who needs the protection, not the rapist.
That doesn't minimize the fact that we are THE MAIN victims of media bias not one bit, it just makes this the wrong case to call exhibit A. And definitely makes for a bad time to make it the primary argument. In my opinion.
that's simply not true though man. There's mad documentaries and films about the church shit, like why would you even say that one? The catholic church scandals have sent people to jail and become as much of a running societal joke as Kells peeing on chicks. The catholic shit has actually seen way more media attention. Not sure how you're ignoring that one.nobody boycotted that boyfucker films cause he didn't have a 3 day bash fest of crying boys with scary music being called surviving singer...where's Kevin spacey boy fucker 3 day bash fest... Why aren't white women going white males don't care about our lil boys and don't protect them...why isn't there a million tweets informing you that these boy fuckers are bad...where's the glaad protest outside the award show saying Brian is a disgrace to the gay community... Why didn't the award show deny the boyfucker a seat in the arena...put a foot on his nec
You keep saying white folks too, like Dream Hampton didn't make this movie. This shit was FUBU, it's just that he's such a current pop culture icon that it's getting tons of publicity. Muhfuckas don't even know who Brian Singer is like that. And there's not video of anyone else pissing on and fucking a child. And most of their shit is older stories, not shit that's still actively happening. We are and have always been unfairly treated in the media but all that shit tips the scales in a way you are refusing to acknowledge. Kells story is pretty fucking salacious.
And to be real, until this docu-series, Kells was right there getting away with everything alongside the very people you're naming. A sister took it upon herself to try to deal with shit that the law failed to deal with, which is an acknowledged problem in our community if you read these threads, and took it to the biggest platform she could to try to shine a light on and stop it. And you have a problem with that?
Weird hill to die on.
agreed.i am going to respectfully disagree about two things that are be said in here.
1. there are countless documentaries and news stories about catholic priest abuse of children. as much as that is swept under the rug people have went to prison and been punished otherwise for it. there was a major story about it just a couple of weeks ago.
2. not so long ago we had a months long saga about jerry sandusky and penn state. that shit was talked about everyday. documentaries, docu-series and movies have been made about that. sandusky and others went to prison over this.
the r. kelly shit is at full volume for us because it hit so close to home for our community. as i have stated before i have been telling the same r. kelly story for almost 30 years. didn't shit happen back then. no one believed us. and people that KNOW what happened still play his shit. i don't play his shit and i refuse to listen to it.
as others have stated, calling out r. kelly to many women is like you called their mama a bitch. this celebrity worship must stop.
