Posted by Juan

New group, Black Men Against Exploitation of Black Women wants Kelly to formally apologize for his conduct.

Kevin Powell

The Daily Swarm is reporting that a group of 19 African American males lead by Kevin Powell, New York congressional candidate have dubbed themselves “Black Men Against the Exploitation of Black Women.”  Their first target? R. Kelly.

According to the report, the group which consists of professors, writers and activists are urging people to “make a personal pledge to never support R. Kelly again in any form or fashion unless he publicly apologizes for his behavior and gets help for his long-standing sexual conduct in his private life and in his music.”

R. Kelly has been playing the ill cut since being acquitted on all counts of child pornography.

There is room to discuss this topic and everything else in the scope of the coverage area Highbrid Nation.

Keep doing the Editorials. They are good stuff and a great thought provoking mechanism.

I think it is important for them to protest R.Kelly but at the same time we are not fools, we know what he did and that he got away with it. Apologizing is admitting guilt and that will NEVER happen.
