    What burns me is how long this has been going on and how many people who must have known but who did nothing.

      How often do you hear about a father abusing his daughter and thebres tof the family knows and does nothing, even defending the dad when the girl comes forward?

      Lots of humans prioritize stability over what’s right.

      Same as it always is.

      Jimmy Savile was sexually assaulting women and kids for 50 years. Never faced charges. Everyone’s either too afraid to come forward, thinks it was just them, or busy riding the gravy train of money and looking the other way when it suits them.

          Just like with the Catholic Church (Sinead O’Connor being an exception, but no one understood her message).

      My theory is that is why ma$e retired early and started preaching. He found out about diddy, knew he didn’t want that life, but too scared to try to do anything about it.

        That was my first thought when all this came out recently. Ma$e walked away while they were on top of the world. Now it makes sense why he would give up the money and fame. I always wondered before.

          Exactly my thoughts. I mean Harlem World wasn’t all that, but he was trying things. Then he just said, “nah I’m good. I do need this anymore.”
