The C.O.W.S. Compensatory Call-In 10/02/21

The self-proclaimed “pied piper of R&B” R. Kelly was found guilty on charges of racketeering, sexual exploitation of a child and other lurid sex crimes. He scheduled for sentencing in May of this year, and numerous legal experts suspect Kelly, 54, will die in greater confinement. As opposed to connecting this case to Simone Biles’s abuse at the hands of Larry Nassar, the defunct Boy Scouts of America, or the countless other examples of children being de-valued and sexually exploited, this case was generally isolated as a “victory” for black “girls and women,” and/or an example of the disregard for black females. When not bashing R. Kelly, mainstream news outlets paused briefly to excoriate a small number of black male NBA players who’ve hesitated to receive vaccinations. A number of black people have been employed to join in ridiculing – sometimes name-calling – black people for their medical choices.
