What do all of these R. Kelly supporters outside his court appearance in Chicago have in common?
Apparently, her name is Angieniki Ford and the little wench is working overtime.
Mary Mitchell of the Chicago Sun-Times, the journalist that was given the R. Kelly sex tape and turned it over to police before it became a bootleg phenomenon, speaks out about about the R. Kelly/young female fan base dynamic. Interesting.
R. Kelly Can Always Count On His Women
These fans are young, black -- and brainwashed
I can think of only one reason young black women would go down to 26th and California and rally around R&B singer R. Kelly.
Ignorance.
Although the women who rallied last Friday outside of the courthouse live in a metropolitan area, they are as ignorant about what constitutes appropriate sexual behavior as the women who were locked away on the polygamous compound in Eldorado, Texas.
Actually, I have more respect for the women from the polygamous compound.
At least the old men they are supporting are accused of marrying the underage girl -- not videotaping sexual acts that included urinating on girls.
But the African-American women who are publicly supporting Kelly and the white women from the compound have a lot in common.
Both have been brainwashed into thinking deviant sexual behavior is normal.
When I talked about the upcoming R. Kelly trial during a recent segment of "Chicago Speaks," a radio program I co-host on Sunday mornings, several black women defended Kelly and blamed the alleged victim, pointing out that today's 14-year-old girls are developed physically.
This flawed logic is repeated by at least one person whenever the R&B star is criticized for his alleged sexual misconduct.

Society has been sh*ting on black women for centuries and you want to throw R Kelly in jail for some p*ss.
Leave Robert alone and let him perform his music. If the young girl they believe to be in that sexxx video is testifying for R Kelly and her parents didn’t bother to press charges??? What the h*ll do you have to say that makes any sense?
The media will only focus on the negative aspects of R Kelly’s career as if he never did any thing but make a p*ss video with some young girl. That’s why there is a gag order in place.
You’re nothing but another opportunist trying to increase your readership and circulation via R Kelly’s coattails.

See what Mary Mitchell means?
WHAT IN THE HELL is R. Kelly offering to the world that his obvious guilt (I'm just going to skip the "innocent until proven guilty" thing) should be ignored?!?!?!?!?!
