Dude's too rich to face consequences. The fact that he's black is the only reason it went this far.
- And adding black to the “women” part of this headline is dismissing that all women have this problem.
What’s crazy is if he releases another album it will sell out. Chris brown proves that their fans are also sociopaths
- Honestly I've given up on humanity for such things. Despicable
This only serves as proof that a human trafficking operation at the highest levels of power is being concealed and protected.
Thank you Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey, for doing a splendid job of making that obvious.
And proof there is no white privilege. It's wealth aka class privilege. Rich vs the poor.
- It's both. Yes, there is no war but class war, but a massive part of the divide and conquer strategy that the ultra wealthy have been waging on humanity for centuries, if not millenia, includes a massive amount of racism and sexism in order to distract the masses from their actual oppressors.
  Racism can easilly be traced back to the elites brainwashing the population (no baby is born racist), but it is absolutely a real thing. A big part of the reason why white privilege is a thing in the US is due to historical racism and slavery in the US. There was a whole civil war fought because the elites wanted to own black slaves, and we still see echoes of that to this very day.
- Wealth matters. But him being black is the entire reason this wasn't swept under the rug, quietly.
  
  I think he just didn't have the right connections...
- I wouldn't go that far bub there's definitely some amount of privilege that white people do have due to a system literally set up to benefit white supremacy.
  It's just that both of these things exist in tandem.
  Diddy definitely suffers from systemic racism but he didn't suffer quite as much as most people do his class privilege.
  Remember comrade we should not marginalize the oppression our black and brown skinned comrades have suffered for hundreds of year.
