There was a young woman that he picked up on the evening of her prom. The relationship lasted a year and a half or two years. Impregnated her, paid for her abortion, had his goons drive her. None of which she wanted. She sued him. The saddest fact I've learned is: Nobody matters less to our society than young black women. Nobody. They have any complaint about the way they are treated: they are "bitches, hos, and gold diggers," plain and simple. Kelly never misbehaved with a single white girl who sued him or that we know of. Mark Anthony Neal, the African-American scholar, makes this point : one white girl in Winnetka and the story would have been different.

Jim DeRogatis reflecting on his career-defining coverage of the R.Kelly scandal, more than a decade later. (Click here for Mark Anthony Neal's interview.)

"At its best, rock music is focused on living in the present, celebrating the wonder and intense discovery of the world around you, just as a child does."

-Jim Derogatis, Kill Your Idols

I just pulled this from one of my favorite books to post as a Facebook rebuttal and felt like it needed to be posted here. I suspect this one is also long over do for a reread, despite the giant "to be read" stack.
