Sometimes, the greatest enemy of black people are we we black people ourselves. We sometimes find away to make excuses for our famous people. There is no way to justify a superstar sleeping with a kid. None. The argument about mature looking children is weak and irresponsible, and borders on a criminal. I cannot say it any better than Lovelyivy.
So what if they "spread their legs"? So would a 2yr-old. I know that is extreme, but the responsibility lies with the adult male. Period. As a man, I have a responsibility to ensure that I am not taking advantage of a child. If I cannot be sure of whom I am sleeping with, then I need to keep my pants on. It is ridiculous to remove blame from who and where it is due.
I agree that some kids are physically misleading. I coach middle school kids, so I've seen grown men fall prey to children. I also agree with Miss priss in that I believe that the parents are almost as guilty as R Kelly. They should be prosecuted. However, to suggest that these supposedly "fast" girls are more to blame than a man with a track record of luring underaged girls to have illicit sexual relations is preposterous.
Sometimes, as men, we need to stop pointing fingers. There are worse things than a "fast" child. I do not mean to sound moralistic, but if we gave in to anything that wore a skirt, we do not deserve the respect and love we demand from our women. We need to quit coddling celebrities, and call a spade a "spade". I agree, Riley, these girls need some good teaching, but the responsibility ultimately lies with the adult. Fair or not, that's how it is, and it is not that hard to uphold.

Maybe you misunderstood me. IF Rra is guilty then he should be prosecuted. I am not taking any blame of the gulty men who may or not prey on young girls. These are some of the same men who get these young girls pregnant and say it ain't mine. Yes prosecute!
On the other side a two year-old is not going to lie ans say she is 18 or 19 and I want to have sex with you. If a teenager thinks it is cool to do so, and lets keep it real some of us have lied about our ages for many differnt reasons, they need to be educated as to why is it not cool. The repecussions that can happen. When I was a teenager many of my peers knew what satuatory (sp?) rape was but didn't care b/c they didnt get caught.
What I say is once we prosecute and punish the criminal then what??
