ICHEOKU says he succeeded in furthering the stereotyping of American black male as angry; the default remark of white people who often refer to the black American male as an angry black man. But then you ask yourself, who wouldn't be enraged if wrongly accused of committing crimes which could translate to your spending the rest of your life behind bars. So Robert Kelly reacted as anyone forced in his pickle would; and until you are a victim of demeaning falsehood, you never can really appreciate the impact nor understand what made R Kelly to lose his center.
It was quite a moment of awe, watching R Kelly stand up and pour his hearts out, amidst sobs, while protesting his wrongful accusation during his interview with Gayle King. It was akin to watching Baby Boy, Tyrese Gibson, who similarly once broke down on national television because his baby mama would not let him see his daughter. Now, it was R Kelly's turn to put on his own show, of a man being wrongly accused of, among other things, kidnapping and statutorily rape of underage girls. He did what he had to do to make his case of innocence and American people should understand that it is possible that he is a victim of a society which builds people up and takes gleeful pleasure in bringing them down as well. R Kelly is not the first nor will he be the last time, some high profile person, the rich and famous American, was targeted and marked for elimination, the hard thud pull down.
Michael Jackson did not survive his own persecution and spiraled down from it until he finally killed himself with drug overdose. Mike Tyson also did not survive his own accusation of rape by Desiree Washington and it ruined him, admitted he is still hanging in there. Tiger Woods shares in the same fate of bringing him down syndrome, admitted his was somewhat self inflicted and proved. But one thing is clear, American people will not hesitate to drop you like a hot potato once you give them reason to make a u-turn on you, meteorically going from their love to hate of anyone. ICHEOKU says but with R Kelly's case, nobody really understands the beef here since the two girls, now young ladies, who actually triggered his current tribulation, have repeatedly defended him, proclaiming his innocence and affirming that they are with him out of their freewill volition.
These ladies, at 21 years old, are fully grown women and of age of consent and capable of making their own decisions, including who to be with. So, why then is Mr Kelly being persecuted based on allegations by some disgruntled former flings, who kept mum for this long, only to now suddenly suffice to allege what, aware that so many people have been lynched based on false testimonies. Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ was not spared of this false testimony and he was eventually executed as a result. But it is a Me-Too crazy time in American sociology and any inkling of a man abusing women is treated as a truism and without giving any benefit of the doubt to the accused man.
It also does not matter to the Lynch mob, that some of the women, who recently bore false witnesses against Justice Brett Kavanaugh, have since recanted their stories of falsehood. Why does the American society not err on the side of caution by seriously questioning the truthfulness of the current traducers of R Kelly and giving reasonable doubt benefit to Mr Kelly. It is a dangerous trend and a real mortal fear in present day American society that a woman merely saying it is so, makes it automatically so. It is deja vu 1600s and hello Salem Witch trials reincarnated in America. It is regrettable and it is condemnable and ICHEOKU hereby condemns the rush to judgment and lynching of people, whose only crime is that some vengeful and vengeance seeking, sexless and sex starved, angry feminists want to take them down.
Consent should be ordinarily dispositive in this matter and operate to absolve R Kelly of any wrong doing, taking into consideration the statements issued by the two sisters that their parents are shakedown artists seeking to obtain a pot of gold from the R&B singer by a blackmail. But ICHEOKU is not necessarily holding brief for R Kelly, only that precedents abound that suggest that some women often times compose stories and some of these women probably fall into such group; all geared in search of the proverbial ticket to stardom and riches. But hey, ICHEOKU will defer to the authorities and hopefully R Kelly will be let go, found not guilty of these allegations. However, if he did the crime, he should be held accountable and made to do the time. But how what he did is any different from what Hugh Hefner did, is still debatable; admitted it would now seem that black males in America are not allowed such Hefner's privilege of cavorting with so many young beauties.
