Damn, people really can’t think for themselves. This is the most manufactured outrage I’ve seen since the Nate Parker situation. The white media has to tell these negroes to get upset: One huge attention-seeking circle jerk bandwagon involving the hyphenated negroes.
a lot of fake outrage. so much wrong with things surrounding this documentary. for the record, I think R. Kelly is guilty of stat rape from the video tape (as well as the child porn). however, that's my personal condemnation of him. he hasnt been convicted. if he has had these scores of underage girls no one can gather any proof on him? there are a lot of things to keep in mind.
the age of consent varies from state to state, we wont even get into countries....but we are talking about something that is subjective when it comes to law. some states have age differential. some states its illegal even if both parties are same age but not of legal consenting age. so these laws can be all over the place, and no one is stopping to read a law dictionary before they fukk.

me personally, I dont think maturity wise you are an "adult" until you get somewhere in late-20's range. some mature faster than others.
you have to keep in mind that some of the girls he had, like 17 year olds were legal according to laws of said state.
as far as the parents....a lot of them were opportunists I believe.

after that tape, I am not letting my daughter near R. Kelly supervised or otherwise. I dont idolize anyone like that first off and second, I am not in awe of the materialistic.
Lifetime banking off this. Then shamelessly plugging new music and books from the "survivors". to me its disgusting. seems like one big circle jerk and money grab.
if Black people could apply this same energy towards other issues affecting our community....
when the mom went to the hotel, shyt seemed put together. mom just kept saying just "come home, I need you", etc...I didnt hear her say "I love you, are you alright? are you hurt? is someone making you stay here?" the whole time the daughter didnt flinch....then the phone call seemed staged because now all of a sudden the girl is crying on the other end when no one else can see or hear her. I told my wife before it happened when the mom goes back to the hotel she wont see the daughter. she did leave with the daughter but then the daughter went back...even though they say she is not there now.
lastly, something very important to note about the cult thing is that in one part the girl said she signed a contract. this is more common than you think. R. Kelly could be having women sign contracts consenting to physical abuse to a degree and they agree on safewords if you will. someone asked why those older women couldnt press charges for the physical abuse they claimed...thats one possible reason why. the police were all in the doc but they never had any cause to take any legal action.
I also dont think R. Kelly is this master manipulator as portrayed. Outside of music, not sure if he is even that smart of a person. I just think its R. Kelly, such a huge star with a lot of money and resources. I dont agree or condone with a lot of things he is accused of but I definitely dont underestimate media manipulation where there is a dollar to be made. I do believe that everyone involved is telling the truth to a degree, but I do believe that a lot what goes along with it to make it the ENTIRE truth is being left out as to keep the one-sided aspect of the doc intact.
