And you can't get me to understand why black folks feel like it's okay to support this dude.<BR/><BR/>Let me tell you how smart this fellow is. After the whole child sex tape came out, he started releasing feel good music, like "I'm the World's Greatest" and "He Saved Me". Well, Angela L.

Can't listen to pedophile music," and promptly change the station. <BR/><BR/>Interestingly enough, I've never liked R's music, even before the stuff about his personal life came to light. No disrespect meant toward those of you who do enjoy him . .. but to me, he does more talking and hollering and Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792085144824685369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24907344.post-9391480961549745732007-05-17T13:33:00.000-07:002007-05-17T13:33:00.000-07:00DC sometimes I think I am extremely wierd when I d...DC sometimes I think I am extremely wierd when I debate black folk on these issue. <BR/><BR/>With all of the money that son of a b#tch has he could have had all of the beautiful 18 years olds who look like 15 year olds he wanted but he choose to humilate a baby. <BR/><BR/>Now Ill keep it real as a man I love women but 15 anything under 18 is banned forever.Dangerfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881999761526327887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24907344.post-8616474117519537432007-05-17T13:26:00.000-07:002007-05-17T13:26:00.000-07:00there isn't anything left to say that you didn't a...there isn't anything left to say that you didn't already say, mark.<BR/><BR/>"Someone please explain to me why the African American community cannot seperate the fact that while undeniably R.

Now when I hear his music, I just shut it down. I do not understand why this trial is taking so long to get underway.
