guttural rage. i love most pieces here, and lindy and erin are tops. i am seriously considering jumping ship after being a daily (every damn day) reader for YEARS.

I was wondering if it's because it was so long ago that the folk who make up the hipster/cool collective these days are too young to know/remember what a loathsome and downright creepy guy he is, including the whole Aaliyah business. But I checked and his trial was only 5 years ago, not so long ago as to have fallen…

Absolutely. I'm from Chicago and that disgusting motherfucker propositioned my best friend when she was 15. He used to go trawling round the high school next to my middle school. Nasty ass...

"Super sexy R. Kelly sex", like the kind of not-at-all-sexy rape-y sex that he used to regularly solicit from underage girls? Seriously, though? Seriously? Ugh.

Nothing about the above post is appropriate. R. Kelly is a rapist and is no friend to black women. His entire album is not an ode to anything except his sickness.

Sorry but I don't support this man and I wish the Black community (and everyone else) would stand up more when Black women and girls are sexually abused.
