I couldn’t even finish watching the video because it was stupid and unimaginative as hell. The rhymes (if you can call them that) are slow, boring and the same bragging tropes that 10k rappers have used before.
I’m thinking those people served up these defenseless girls, hoping for a payday. And clearly, many people got one.
That won’t work. I say this as a fellow non makeup wearer: if every woman and girl stopped wearing makeup, we would STILL be ranked and primarily treated by how well we conform to society’s “ideal”, except those who hit the genetic lottery would be the only ones who benefitted from it. Makeup and surgery is supposed…
There are hundreds of accounts that talk about how he was a fixture at a certain local high school’s path home. He’d pick from new pubescents, and everybody knew about it, including the adults.
Fame, poverty, lack of love at home, money, seduction, peer pressure, poor self esteem, I can go on...
She can say that AFTER women and girls stop being judged, ranked, and treated primarily on how well they conform to society’s standard of beauty. This shit doesn’t happen ina vacuum, and I’m tired of people lecturing women as if it’s all in our heads.
The reason why R Kelly has gotten away with this for so many decades is because he very shrewdly preyed on black girls, who cannot be considered “innocent” in many people’s eyes... including in the eyes of many fellow black people. If his victims were blonde and blue eyed girls named Becky, he would have been locked…
She has been to their homes MANY times, so no, she isn’t “imagining things” either, asshole. They don’t go to another partner’s house either. Three guesses of what his skin shade is.
My sister is a black corporate attorney in Boston, and yes, she says it’s racist af but couched in politeness. E.g., she gets invited to outings, parties etc by her white colleagues, but never once in the 10 years she’s lived there have any of them accepted an invitation to her home, even though her house and…
Except the North has plenty of these same terrorist cops. Avoidance is not an option. If they are going to kill us anyway, some people are going to decide to start taking cops to the grave with them. America must fix the rampant abuse if it wants to survive.
Thank you for your bravery in sharing your story. I will forward this post to my coworker, who just shared with me this morning of his decision to cut both of his Trump-stan parents out of his life for good. (He is white, but gay and married to a biracial partner). This is the most divisive presidency in history —…
Melt ‘em down and repurpose the metal for plumbing pipes for public bathrooms. I personally would appreciate the artistic impact of the world taking a shit on them every day.
No that I would even consider buying a stupid as shit product like this, but my allergy to nickel would make my labia fall off my body from the irritation.
How can we protect ourselves from the people who are supposed to protect us? I feel like it’s unsafe for black people to travel alone anymore, anywhere. We need a network where a signal is sent every time we are pulled over, where armed observers can watch what the police are doing and will intervene if necessary.
Internet porn is only beginning to show it’s devastating effects on children.
I think we Americans confuse intelligence with morality. Those people are smart enough. They aren’t dumb... what they are is profoundly immoral.
Lol, I didn’t mean *literally* dead... but if his head just happened to strike the pavement in a mortal way... well, that’s just gravity doing what it’s supposed to do. Just like capitalism.
I genuinely considered myself a nonviolent person until I read about this man and saw that evil smirk. I would totally punch him dead in his face if I met him, and my jail sentence/probation would totally be worth it.
