Those cats back then did a lot of questionable shyt.

A lot of them were flat out perverts.

Bobby Womack was a despicable nicca.

Wasn't that long ago where families would sell/trade their 13 yr old daughter for a donkey

50s and 60s was a WHOLE different ball game, especially in the black community.

Some real foul shyt was going on in a bunch of family closets

I'm fine with the discussion but we are NOT going to isolate these type of relationships to the black community. This was a common union amongst all people literally all over the world. We are today in the me too era going back judging their decisions harshly. Different times Different thinking. Good we know better now but I get irritated at the revisionist history

Let's not act like this wasn't a hit among white folks back in the day:

Wasn't it revealed that Aretha and her father had an incestual relationship

yep, and that the first child was by her father. and why there's secrecy on the birth certificate who the baby daddy was. Her father was in the same circle as Rev James Cleveland and dude was straight smashing young boys from his church. Ray Charles even mentioned the sick that was going on in that church.

Did this nikka smash a treh?
