His point (well id hope so) is that we have selective outrage when it comes to sexual or physical exploitation of young people. Some things we will gloss over and somethings we will get angry on depending on the current utility of said person or institute.
maybe we will care collectively about Nike sweatshops and forced child labor when Nike isn't as popular as a brand just as we seem to collectively care about R Kelly crimes now that his brand has diminished.
For me, the real issue is of cult of celebrity and brands. Realistically we are willing to overlook criminal and sexual exploitative acts against children, depending on who it is. That is terrible.
So...Are we really against said acts ? its a more harrowing question that delves deep into personal and collective morality and its a discussion society is not having that is important.
Exactly brutha. It seems like people really are only "skin deep".
Because truthfully, outside of the U.S. (up until recently), younger females and "older" males has always been Normal. I'm not saying that Jail Bait is my thing but it's true.
And I ain't mad about the backlash, that was Robert's doing. If you're a legit Rapist or Child Molester, then you deserve every bit of gas that's thrown on that fire. But let's be real here. From what it sounds like, dude just took advantage
. He ain't exactly kidnap em and tie em up on some other shyt. It doesn't make it better but atleast we know how it went down
