Based up psychology & criminology that is woefully under researched and arguably in flux...

I've been guilty of misplaced anger on this site and its always good to have counter balance.

In America... South Africa is a country with an extremely high and well documented crime rate. There was a period in time when gasoline soaked tires were tossed onto people who were considered as "allies" to the Apartheid regime and lit a flame. Was it right? Did it stop once South Africa was liberated?

And given the abysmal rape/rape murder statistics this is a failure of the government as well as ignorance of Westerners about how to empower the people of South Africa post Mandela.

At least do a search through the site before writing... Jez has published several articles regarding this subject... See the "Mexican Bus Rapist Vigilante" for one... But mostly look up the the rape statistics for South Africa 28-37 percent of men have engaged in rape with a population of roughly 52 million they…

Co-sign except for the bragging. His self of sense is the sexiest thing...

The poster was incorrect, The Best Of Both Worlds was a double album i.e. both discs were released together. Jay-Z broke ranks once what everyone in the music industry had known became public. It made him and Def Jam look bad, plus since it was on tape they thought he was going down, so throwing R under the bus at the…

No it was a double album and Jay-Z stopped promoting it when the allegations became public and made him look bad.

On black websites there has been fairly regular criticism, see Bossip, they called him the "Pied Pedo" all the time and the commenters didn't forget as well. It seems like only white hipsters forgot... Since they luv them some Trapped In The Closet see IFC.

Roman Polanski is not a great example, with the exception of some Hollywood elites the average US citizen, if they can either remember him or know him, finds him disgusting. He is not allowed to travel to the US and was imprisoned for several months in Switzerland while LA attempted to extradite him. He is still…

I was working in Hip-Hop at that time and it was over the tape.. Jive pressured Def Jam to say otherwise because R Kelly was a part of their top three Britney, NSYNC and the R they couldn't afford to loose him.

Aalyiah, coke and bad business decisions...

She knew, everyone in music knows... It was a very big deal when Aalyiah left Jive for Virgin a move orchestrated by her uncle, who had been R Kelly's manager and quit once he found out that R Kelly tried to kidnap his niece. The record business is small... As someone put it's like high school with money. Having…

I avoided this post for a lot of reasons... As someone who worked in the record business SHE KNEW, but for whatever reason that was convenient to her she ignored it. R Kelly's abuse was the worst kept secret in the business, eveyone knows the details from presidents of labels down to interns.

Black Twitter would disagree... #hasjustinelanded the jokes on the hashtag are way funnier. Like the one that made her tweet into a J-Law movie with the tag "one little tweet before a plane trip changed her life FOREVER" Coming Soon 2014. Or check out NewsOne, Global Grind, The Root, Bossip or the numerous sites that…

I love Steve Martin, he is a great artist and a humanitarian... Why do assume it what proof do you have that he removed the joke because he was "afraid" of backlash, or when he stepped back and looked at it he realized it was not a great joke? There have been way better jokes about the same subject that are funny.…

Warning Yardoz has issues with the ladies of color gettin upity on Jez...
