R.Kelly is free, but is it a good thing?


So the Jackal of R&B was set free today. He's acquitted of all child porn charges, but I'm not really excited about it. I don't care for R.Kelly, which is why I feel the way I do. So I apologize for being so biased.

Something about him is off, the whole story, the tape, six years of dragging this out, people lying about who was in the tape. It just seemed off. And now, he will make this some comeback, God help me, the man trying to take me down mess, in which we will hear several remixes for a whole year. Then he's once again made as a darling in our community, something I never understood. His music don't move mountains or pieces of lint.

I hope he's not looked at a victim of racial issues. I don't know if it's that serious. R. Kelly isn't that important to attack. But, I hope this makes us look critically at this man and issues that beset him. And we should look at our loyalty to R. Kelly. Is he really all that?

Until all this crap started, I thought R. Kelly was a joke. I mean: a deliberate joke, a regular guy posing as an untalented fool. Like Borat, you get what I mean?

So my main worry is any children within a trillion miles of this person and also, how do I get my laughter back? Because clearly it was wasted due to my misunderstanding.
One final thing: that long long song about being in the closet, which I thought was a brilliant joke, that was NOT a joke, right? Because it's great as a JOKE. The double-entendre, the on and on and on stuff with the woman, etc.

But if it was NOT a joke, I need my laughter back. NOW.
And believe it or not, that's all the words I have to give about R. Kelly.

The loyalty baffles me to all hell...I mean, WTF?! I don't get it for a second.

That man is the epitome of a pedophile; dark, creepy, and wierd.
