I had planned on blogging today about Milwaukee Brewers pitcher, Josh Hader, and his racist dumbassery. I was contemplating all day about what I would say and how Hader's "I was a kid" defense seems insufficient and somewhat insincere. But, then, R. Kelly had to spew out some pure unadulterated fuckery. So, now, I find myself blogging about "Mr. Pissin On You".
Today R. Kelly released a 19 minute...NINETEEN DAMB MINUTE music video titled, "I Admit". My initial reaction was, "Uh-huh! No he didn't! This fool finally came clean. Well, ain't that a..." But, then I read the story and the lyrics. He didn't admit to shit. Instead, he apparently spent 19 minutes obfuscating, self-loathing, self-victimizing, whining and attempting to elicit sympathy.
Kelly addressed his numerous sexual misconduct, sexual assault and pedophile charges. Well, he really didn't address the charges. He basically didn't deny them instead choosing to obfuscate. He said he "likes the ladies, old and young" but to call it pedophila is "crazy". He then asked, "Am I supposed to lose my career or go to jail over your opinion (that he's a pedophile)?" No, Robert, you shouldn't go to jail over someone's opinion. You should go to jail because you like to sex and pee on underage girls, you piece of shit! Lemme ask you a question. Am I supposed to feel sorry for you? I do not!
Then, he drops this little jewel. "Say I'm abusing these women? What the fuck? That's some absurd shit. Brainwashed? Really? Kidnapped? Really? Can't eat? Really? Real talk, that shit sounds silly." Well, it doesn't sound that silly. And, they're not women, fucktard! They are girls!
Now, just in case you were getting sucked into buying this bullshit he removes any doubt of who he is with this ish. "What's the definition of a cult? What's the definition of a sex slave? Go to the dictionary, look it up. Let me know. I'll be here waiting."
Welp, R. I went to the dictionary. The second listing for a cult is as follows: "A group that devotes itself to or venerates a person, ideal, fad, ect." I also looked up sex slave. Definition reads as follows: "A person entirely under the dominion of some influence or person obligated to provide sex to said person for free". Uh, muthafucka that sounds like what those girls were to you!
Now, Kelly also stated in the song he was molested from the age of 7 to 14, which if true, he needs to seek help for. Lawd forgive me but it sounds a bit convient. He also said he's functionally illiterate, which begs the question why someone of his wealth never took classes to become literate. Also, he claims to write his own music so...
Look, I am done with R. Kelly! D-O-N-E! He obviously has issues. It is so apparent he is guilty as sin. He is a manipulator, which is evident by this bullshit song. Worse yet, he is a predator.
I found it interesting he never flatly denied any of the accusations. What I also found quite intriguing is while he was "bearing his soul" there was one thing he left out in his self-serving bs. He didn't say a damb word about his penchant for pissin on folks.
What about that, Mr. Keep It In The Closet?! Not one word about peeing on young girls. And, how effed up is that? Look, I like to get down; get my freak on but in my near 44 years on this earth I have never once thought about peeing on a woman. That shit is crazy. I mean what balanced dude looks at woman and says, "Dayum, Girl. Your booty is poppin. Your boobs are on point. Baby, you just make me wanna piss all over you. Gurl, I wanna pee so much I dehydrate myself!" No normal human being says or thinks that. Yes, I know there are people who are into that and that's a level of freak that heavily implies you need to talk with Jesus! I'm just sayin.
The fact is I have ZERO sympathy for R. Kelly. He is a predator. I don't care why he is a predator. It is just clear he is. And, I fully understand these girls parents are culpable. Who in they right mind would allow their teenage daughter to go "stay awhile" with a grown ass man? I wouldn't have let my daughters be alone with a R. Kelly cd let alone his urinating happy ass!
And, these folks defending him and being apologists... Lawd help ya! You have two groups defending him.
The first group is the same dumbasses who constantly shill for Chris Brown. They propagate the defense, "Yes, he does wrong but he can saaaaang". What in the fuck?! He "can saaang"? Oh, so because he makes great music he should be allowed to molest young girls. That is a sound defense, if you're a bonafide mental midget. Sorry. Not sorry. Yes, R. Kelly has made some bomb ass music. That is not enough to overlook sexual predatory behavior.
The other group is what I call the "Bill Cosby" defenders. Their mantra is "Yes, he is a pedophile but he's a Black male role model. Besides, what about [insert White sexual predator's name]?" Lemme address the latter statement first. What about them? When "what about-ism" is your defense you don't have an intelligent defense. That defense screams, "I know my guy is guilty so I'm going to deflect." Yes, there are plenty of White dudes who slide by but that doesn't mean we should literally look the other way when a sexual deviant and criminal is preying on young Black girls and women. That makes no sense.
As to the first part of the defense, we (Black folks) have plenty of other Black male role models. John Legend, Kendrick Lamar, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, Malcom Jenkins, Colin Kaepernick (Yes, I said his name! 😒) to name a few. But, there is a plethora of Black men we can look up to who aren't sexual assaulters. Can we please aim just a little higher? Inequality is real and every Black person with a shred of dignity knows it; but, Black folk, really is the likes of R. Kelly a hill worth dying on? REALLY?
And, hey, I've been complicit. I knew something was off about that Negro when he was damn near 30 years old and married Aayliah the day she turned 16. But, I moralized it away like the Chris Brown defenders because "I Can't Sleep" was the shitz and Aaliyah did say, "Age ain't nuthin but a number." But, that was bullshit! My Black ass wouldn't be marrying essentially 15 year olds when I was in my 20s! So, why should've I excused it from him. But, I did. I was indefensibly wrong. However, when it came out he was peeing on folks like some stray dog would a tree I was off the train. When Toure asked this fool if he thought it was wrong to sex young girls and he said, "Well, what do you mean young? How young are you talking?" I was screaming for Chris Hansen. If there was ever a moment for "To Catch A Predator" to have its cameras rolling.
R. Kelly should be in jail. This isn't for debate. Seriously! Seriously! When it comes to child molesters there can't be a parsing or moral equivalency.
Wrong is wrong. Is there really a need for discussion?....
