Unfinished Business
By Jawn Murray, AOL Black Voices columnist
The "Godmother of Comedy" Thea Vidale is outraged that prosecutors in Polk County, Fla. have dropped their charges against R. Kelly. The singer had faced 12 counts of child **** in Florida, but the prosecutors dismissed the case after opting not to appeal a judge's decision to suppress evidence in the singer's child **** case.
Thea Vidale on the R. Kelly Case: "Black people have to stop supporting black men who commit crimes! I just don't get it. It's an abomination."
Vidale, who is a life coach on the Si TV reality series 'Urban Jungle 2,' said other African-Americans should feel the same indignation she does about the latest development in the Kelly case. "Black people have to stop supporting black men who commit crimes! I just don't get it. It's an abomination," she raged. "That's why Lil' Kim is in jail right now. She was lying because she thought she was looking out for some ignorant black Negro who broke the law."
Kelly still faces 14 counts of child **** in Chicago, where he's not scheduled to return to court until April 2, 2006. The full-figured funny-woman hopes that justice will finally be served in The Windy City. "I hope he gets his due. I really hope he goes to jail, and some grown man urinates on him in a prison cell. That'll teach him to stop peeing on underage girls," Vidale ranted.
Lucky for Kelly, the comic veteran had already taped her upcoming appearance on the new Starz In Black series 'The 1st Amendment Stand-Up' before last week's announcement came down. "He's a **** and a ****, and he better be glad I wasn't able to talk about him on that show! I would have loved to talk about how even though he was sleeping with a minor -- and I saw the tape, so I know it was him -- he was still only mediocre in action," she concluded.
I say...damn.
i agree wit her..we got to stop letting failures like R. representing us and what not....he need to go to jail (especially since Kim did for something less serious)
I say...damn.
