Well Sorors, I really needed to open this up for discussion. I hadn't seen any other thread pertaining to this but if there is one either here or on another group's page, that is fine, they can be merged. I am a little disturbed by this. I heard about it this evening on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News and, of course, him being a conservative, he may have spun the details a certain way. However, I am still wondering why the NAACP would nominate him. In my opinion, even without the currently pending child pormography charges, his music, while I bob my head to it, is not very positively infuential. Aside from his "I believe I Can Fly" song, he pretty much makes song after song about elicit sex and groping women. I just believe or feel that there are others who would make better nominees than him. Yes, the charges do not equal guilt, but again, in a more symbolic light, is this someone THE best someone who should be honored by an IMAGE award by African Americans? I would just be interested in hearing some views on this. It honestly upset me.

Soror,
I think the real question is why WE continue to support organizations like the NAACP. The org did a lot of great stuff back in the day, but I doubt the Honorable Thurgood Marshall would be ok with R. Kelly being honored. ALTHOUGH he has NOT been proven guilty in a court of law....what is the NAACP thinking???
