Anytime a man with money and power is called out for raping women and girls (or other males for that matter) people look away. If those people and children are black, Hispanic, Indigenous, or other marginalized people then too many people care even less.

And if the rapist is a white male and the victims are POC then...all bets are off. Or worse if the victim is a white woman and the rapist is a POC, then white men and too many white women call for the banishment and deaths of POC.

Same! Saw lots of tweets about it last night from several people I follow but I had to look it up. It says more about what our collective awareness is based on media coverage imho. Thanks for shedding light. Very disturbing.

I never heard of this story until your live today. I subscribe to YouTube TV, Hulu, Prime and Netflix and none of them are running it. So that’s why I haven’t interacted bc I don’t even know his music or the story but trust me, once I see it, I will have plenty to say.
-
Same. Don’t have cable anymore, so have to wait until one of the subscription services airs it. Boo!

Stated watching the documentary tonight. Need to finish watching last episode but had enough for tonight. Silent no more. I’ll speak up about it whenever I can.

I heard about the doc just last night. I didn’t realize it was still a debate re his career’s viability. Ugh. Taping the series as we speak.

I saw the disturbing documentary last night and was appalled that I was hearing about it for the first time. I only watched it after seeing your post yesterday. I wonder if they are as ignorant as I had been merely 24 hours ago. Watch on Lifetime. Protect our girls.

•I think you are mostly followed by white women. •White women are still (still!) not ready to admit brown/black bodies aren't important enough to them to pick up their pitchforks & storm the castle. •But keep doing this. It might help. •Thank you.

I didn’t know anything about it until yesterday. I don’t believe in the death penalty, but if I did, I think he would be more than deserving of it. Thank you for shining a brighter light on this.

Sorry, Elizabeth, I don't even know who R. Kelly is, and after seeing your tweets about him, I don't want to know. Not because I don't care about women being abused, but because I am full to the brim of horror and I feel like I just can't add to it at this time.

I watched it on lifetime after your broadcast. Im sickened and angry. I never heard of him as the only music I listen to is country. Horrified by what I saw

Not an excuse, but I wonder how many know who R. Kelly is. Or anything about the story prior to the Lifetime special.
