I found Akon’s moves to be tasteless and offensive but he’s an adult, he can do what he pleases. If you don’t like it, boycott him and try to get others to do the same. For the record, I also find his music offensive and his voice and lyrics to be substandard, therefore I do not listen to or purchase his music but I don’t think he’s 100% or even 50% to blame for this situation. Unlike R. Kelly, Akon did not know that girl’s age nor did he perform a sexual act with her. Akon called for some girls to come on stage and she jumped up there real quick and from the pictures I’ve seen online, she was on top of him for a lot of the performance and simulating riding him. Forgetting for the moment that she was dressed inappropriately, had a tattoo and lied about her age to get into a venue she had to busines being in. She VOLUNTARILY got on stage and danced with him, then all of a sudden, once she was busted, she was a good little church girls who’s never done anything like that and is sorry.

While I agree that commercial music and videos are now generally obscene and setting bad examples to all that watch them (not just the youth). I find the really disturbing part to be that these children are not being raised properly by their parents. It all starts at home. Why was this girl allowed to be out at that time of night? Why does she have a tattoo? Why does she own that type of clothing? Why is her father pointing the finger to Akon and not asking what part he played in this situation by not being an aware parent? I’m an adult living on my own and to this day, if my parents saw me wearing something like that, there would be repercussions. I understand that all girls are not as lucky as I am to have had such loving and involved parents but we can’t expect the world to change to make up for the job parents are not doing.

The way to stop is to do something about it, stop watching the videos, stop listening to the songs, stop buying their music and eventually they will lose record sales and get the picture. We can sit up here and complain about Akon and his disgusting act but it won’t go so far unless we do something about it. Akon is going to keep making sales and keep making music and he’s going to keep humping on girls like he’s some type of dog because people will keep buying his music.

Did Akon parade around like some whore? LOL yes I think so,, men who act like this are they whores? I would call it that but we all know how it is in this world he is not going to be called a whore, because its whats in with men they acknowledge that type of behavior call eachother playa and pimp but we get called out of our names, nothing new, its been like that for years and women has been taking it for years now that the Imus case is through more women are now realizing that this is something we should have been on in the first place and thats to stop giving these rappers much credibility. Trust me men know what they are doing are they going to stop? a big fat no! but if we took a stand against their music maybe they will.

Some of you claim these women act like whores should expect to be treated as such. Well, please apply that logic to men. Akon acted like a crazed whore on stage who is now getting shunned by corporate America. If you want to play on a national or global stage, YOU MUST ADJUST YOUR STANDARDS. If you can’t do that stay local. I believe in freedom of expression but it comes with some responsibility. Don’t act like a whore and expet corporate America to support your ‘freedom of expression.’
