So, Kells was acquitted.... I don't know how I feel about it. I guess I haven't really thought about it. The trial has been postponed so many times that the initial shock of the incident died like eons ago. I don't even remember when it happened, I just remember that I was disgusted, & still am. I'm disgusted by Mr. Kelly in general. While he's been a music genius for most of his career, his pathetic attempt these past couple years to fund his trial & whatever other ills/issues he's encountered, has been rather annoying & embarrassing. Other than his music, I don't think I've heard one positive thing about this man. So, I feel no sense of triumph for the outcome of his trial. Hopefully, he'll check ID's & keep his nasty ass out of trouble.
Anywho, ran across this Newsweek article via The Root, http://www.newsweek.com/id/142472 . I don't know the race of the writer of the article, but it really doesn't matter. I'm so tired of the media speaking on black people like we're a damn scientific experiment. The writer wants to understand how black women could support Kelly's acquittal... that's for no one to understand. White people do the same damn thing for their favorite celeb. & even if they don't, so what. Who cares... & they construct these articles like we're a secret society, & they're revealing our most treasured secrets..... Well, they're not, they pretty much did that when they started raping our culture; stealing our music, language, clothing, etc. I'm rambling, but I'm as disgusted w/ this article as I am w/ Kells. It's so elementary, but maybe that's b/c it's about Kells....

I'm also disgusted by R. Kelly, but so much time passed, I didn't real care when he got acquitted.
