Oh yes, the charges are “decades old,” so they don’t count.

I think what we see here is the culture of the American black community at work. . . and the gangsta rap sub-culture at its worst of denigration of women.

That does not mean that people cannot change. Whether Dr. Dre has or has not, I have no clue. He says he has, and the people working with him for a year-and-a-half say he has.

He has a lot more to lose and he lives in an entirely different culture now. The question remains can you take the gangsta rapper out of the man 20 years later? How ingrained is that culture? Will he regress to that misogynist attitude that allowed him to club women he claimed to love with his fist and break their ribs? I have no clue. He was charged and convicted of these crimes 25 years ago and also sued civilly and paid for them then. . . for those who brought charges and had the gumption to sue him.

Did they get sufficient justice? You tell me. . .
