Bringing up two boys, who would naturally want to look up to some big tough guy on TV or the movies, it was so great to have Terry Crews to point to. Even before coming out with his story of assault, Crews espoused points of view that were exciting to highlight to the boys. Crews recognized that it wasn’t enough just…

I agree.

Exactly. I don't understand why it's so hard for some people to understand.

This is awful and only contributes to the shame around sexual assault for men. Also, Crews has also said that he felt his size and blackness complicated his ability to respond more forcefully to the assault. 

He was recently on an NPR show “Ask Me Another”. He is an amazing guy in so many ways. He got into college on an art scholarship. Then he got on the football team as a walk on and got a free ride. He is a flautist. He made extra money in school doing portraits of his teammates. The played a game of “what cant Terry do”…

Love Terry Crews. So glad he's speaking out.

He also addressed it in his initial statement when he mentioned that, during the incident, he was aware and wary of how it would look, being a large black man, if he were to get violent in that situation.

I have a lot of respect for Terry Crews. It’s incredibly demeaning, and infuriating, when someone suggests that you didn’t try hard enough to not be sexually harassed or assaulted. He helped encourage me to report my own sexual harassment.

Terry Crews is a national treasure. 

Even if Terry beat the tar out of the guy, it wouldn’t erase the fact that he was sexually assaulted. Bye, D.L.

Is it really that hard to not be a dick?

Obviously Crews was asking for it. Probably dressed in a well-fitted suit and parading around the event all smiles and handshakes with all the guys.

Kelly’s people really need to fact check themselves before they keep offering all this “proof” that Kelly is innocent.

Fresh and hot out the kitchen and behind bars

The best part is that the note they submitted was one that references a different time frame than the one that the FBI is investigating

I’m not a lawyer, but in what world would that handwritten note satisfy any kind of legal requirement? It needn’t be said that *nothing* can provide cover for rape -statutory or other- but htf would a handwritten note be sufficient to grant temporary custody of a minor to someone?

Unfortunately, the Mann Act has a long history of being a racist sword used against black people. In fact, it’s also called the ‘White Slave Traffic Act’ (that was its actual name) and it’s historically been used to arrest black men in interracial relationships with white women. Famous black men like Jack Johnson, Rex…

This could be the best possible use of the racist Mann Act, which was originally designed to keep white girls away from black men. It was passed in 1910 as the “White Slave Traffic Act.”

That’s not how it works. “Under his care” ≠ “Permission to Bump n Grind”.

A parent cannot give permission for someone to sexually abuse a minor child. Sheesh.
