ACTIVISTS TO STORM R KELLY SHOW
Activists are to protest outside R Kelly's concert at the Los Angeles Forum on Friday December 12th.
The R 'n' B star is facing several counts of child pornography, having been indicted in 2002.
However the criminal case against the singer has suffered numerous false starts with the most recent attempts to bring the case to trial halted by disputes regarding the contents of a video tape purporting to show Kelly engaged in numerous sex acts with an underage girl.
A trial scheduled for February 7th 2007 was postponed after Kelly had to undergo surgery for a burst appendix while later dates were delayed due to dispute regarding the age of the tape and to allow the sitting judge to recuperate after a fall.
However African-American campaigners are to demonstrate against the singer being permitted to earn money from touring while he faces charges of such severity.
Activist Jasmyne Cannick told the Los Angeles Times: "It's like pulling teeth to get people to talk about this. It's a challenge to get the black community to even discuss it.
"They're acting like he doesn't have 14 counts of child pornography against him. We're all acting like we don't have daughters and nieces and little sisters.
"Everyone is making money, and everyone seems OK with him. People really need to wake up."
Kelly's most recent album Double Up was his fifth studio release to debut at number one on the US Billboard charts.

I wish to God, that everybody would just leave R. Kelly the hell alone, That's
go for Ne-Yo with his non singing behind. I will never ever buy one of albums,
For one thing he can't sing or dance. Ne-Yo, is a sick twisted freak, Hell
Nall he don't need to be on tour with R. Kelly, Because to me R. Kelly is one
of the best in music industry. Ne-Yo, was stupid for even agreeing to do the
tour with R. Kelly, I mean come on now R. Kelly, don't need Ne-Yo or Keyshia
Cole to tour with him, not for real, Really, R. Kelly is doing them non singing
things a favor. Because I saw R.Kelly in Birmingham, and he snapped hard as
hell. Keyshia Cole, want somebody to beg her none singing ass to sing. She
didn't do a Got Damn thing, if the truth be told, J Holiday, did better than
Keyshia, and he just got in the game. I mean this chick has made like two or
three ablums, she couldn't do any better than that, You couldn't hardly hear
ass not for real. What happen to her voice, Keyshia Cole is going to become
another Whitney Houston. As far about the trail against R. Kelly, I think that
it was a set up, because he didn't want to be in a serious relationship with
Sparkle, she couldn't handle it ,and when Robert told her no. That girl stated
that is was not her, so leave that damn man alone, and let him continue to make
great hits and baby making music. Let me say this, I will never ever turn my
back on Robert, no matter what the Got Damn Media says, with their lying asses.
I will always Love Robert S. Kelly no matter what. So To Everybody Who Does Not
Like R. Kelly, Go To Hell, And Don't Never Come Back''''''''''''''''''''''''''
