Wow, that was really messed up. You know, you really heard alot out of The reverand Sharpton and Jackson about Imus, but where are they with the VT shootings. How come they have not offered any condolscense to the victims.
Gwen should not take akon on the road with her, this is wrong.
just curious ... where are jesse jackson and al sharpton? I mean this is something to be outraged about for sure if Imus' nappy haired hos comment was worth firing ... i cant wait for Akon to be dropped by his label and the protests that will be occuring any hour now should be amazing to watch on the 10 o clock news right?
Yeah, let's idolize this a bit and pretend it's ok. The moment you are a self proclaimed black rapper you can get away with pretty much anything. R Kelly is still out there and I actually even SAW the video (and that was not dry humping).
It has already been asked but, how does the author know she's only 14? Not that it would be any less disturbing if she were 18 but saying she's 14 adds another level of shock to the story. Just be careful what you believe.
"Akon, a self confessed Muslim"...aaaaaaand your article already lost all credibility.
Oh my, he confessed to being a Muslim, that's like admitting to being a terrorist!
I can't stand this kind of stuff. This is exactly what rap and hip hop are inducing into our society. money, BLING BLING, and treating women like *****.
It really disgusts me. And coming from a primarily black area of town, not being black myself, I can say this is true 4/5 times. Every once in awhile there will be some exceptions but for the record this is standard issue *****. It's not prejudice by any means, you can put a science to it.
wow... you never know if this kind of stuff is "staged" or not, but to my eyes, this doesn't look that way. Either way, he should be at least charged with indecent assault, or inappropriate public behavior. And so should his "security" guy standing there watching, who quickly helps her after this Akon ass stops. What a moron!
Lame attempt at stirring up righteous anger in the wake of Imus. A little weird, but the fact that EVERYONE seems to be going along with it, no shocked gasps from teh audience, no attempt on the girl's part to struggle, just make it standard concert hijinx.
As far as we know, this could be a Loose Change style video, where we're shown a disturbing clip of a video, out of context, and with no independent confirmation of the facts. Until he's "konvicted" of molestation, let's not call him a molester.
Did we forget the Duke Lacrosse lesson so quickly?
It seems like ever since the Don Imus firing, everyone wants to look for black people doing something wrong so they can get to ask "Where's Al Sharpton?" Someone above me asked "Where's Al Sharpton?" in relation to the VT shootings for some reason. This story seems to have no proof other than that video. No drivers license picture or police report. For all we know that girl is one of the backup dancers.
I don't know, it just seems like we're headed down a dark road. Where will it end?
I can't believe the conservative uptight rubbish im seeing. Why don't you guys just try to understand Jamaican dance culture. In every club in Jamaica couples dance like this. Get some perspective before you start judging and preaching.
