A little over a week ago I posted a joke about R Kelly, which subsequently started a shit storm for about 4-5 days. People got mad at me, I was called out of my name, and a FB friend of mine received the same vitriol because she was posting things critical about Kell’s too!
The biggest retort during those days was that white men do the same thing and get away with it, so we should be just as mad and should use the same amount of energy to be critical of those people too. The other part of that was that we were helping to bring a Black man down.
So me being me, I took what they said and decided I’d do an experiment.
The experiment was to see if I stopped talking about R Kelly, would the people who trotted out memes of every white sexual harasser they could find actually use their energy to continue addressing the white men that they claim get away with it.
Crickets!!!!
But guess what happened, some of them posted memes of Oprah and Gayle saying they were in cahoots with white supremacist for interview the MJ accusers and R Kelly. They didn’t use their time and energy to go after those white men, they used their time and energy to go after and bring down two Black women.
Yep, that’s what happened. So I guess it’s ok to bring down Black people that YOU accuse of being in cahoots with white supremacy but it’s not ok to bring down Black people accused of pedophilia?!
Marinate on that!
