I know it's Christmas… so yeah, have a Merry Christmas…
I wanted to wade into the R. Kelly vs. Jim Derogotis story. Even though it's "stomach-churning." It seems Mr. Kelly has a major problem. And lots of people have known about it for a long time. And well, the hits keep coming, and supposedly hip institutions like Pitchfork and Bonnaroo are "enablers" and "co-signers" and anyone buying Kelly's music, should maybe have a re-think.
I applaud Derogotis for standing up against the pop machine…
"The saddest fact that I've learned is nobody matters less to our society than young black women. Nobody." - J. Derogotis
It takes guts to be the only one standing up to say that maybe the Emperor has no clothes. This is not a pretty story. Thank you Jim Derogotis!
Maybe the tide has turned. Maybe people will open their eyes. Maybe we shouldn't look away...
