I know I know, we weren't supposed to have any more Insanity Check episodes this month. But then Buzzfeed dropped an article about what one of America's most infamous serial pedophiles is up to currently and well, fuckery happened. It's no secret that R Kelly is a pedophile but the way he's able to not only get away with it but thrive financially from it is sickening. And I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the defenses of him. I'm tired of him being able to get away with it. I'm tired of the blame going solely to black women. I'm tired of people acting like R Kelly is able to be a sexual predator because of the enablers around him.

So that's why there's a show. Its just me (Kriss) with a bit of a rant. But I needed to get this shit out of my head before I fly out to San Diego. Don't need this bullshit to follow me to the West Coast.

For those that can stomach it, the Village Voice article on all the claims against R Kelly.

Last Insanity Check before the break and it's a good one. We've been avoiding the politics talk for the last few episodes but its back this week with guest L Joy Williams. We spend most of this episode talking to L Joy about her new show, #SundayCivics and what's needed to change the discussion around getting involved in politics. So much of our politics has become binary and marked in terms of "winners and losers". But the reality is, we need to get back to basics and talk about how the educational system in this country, has eroded our foundation. People don't know what it means to be involved with civic action or how to even begin.

Topics:

Getting mansplained at the electronic store

How to engaged people with discussions on Civics

The amount of vital information we aren't taught in schools is amazing

Betsy DeVos met with "Men's Rights" groups

Slow down in Title IX cases

The fight over textbooks is partly responsible for where we are today

The textbook that calls Mexicans lazy

Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro

Sex Bots are going to be our doom

Black Woman Shoutout

This week Kriss is joined by Rich Jones (@RichJones15) to talk about the craziness that happens in the world. Rich has gives his unique perspective as a 7th generation black man from Canada. He talks about how America looks from those outside the country as we're led down a deep dark hole with an idiot as President.

A large portion of this show talks about this video from the NRA and Dana Loesch. It's very clear that the NRA is a terrorist organization that pretends to "fight for the 2nd Amendment" but in reality is nothing more than funding and promoting white supremacy. We break down how the NRA handles acts of violence and how their responses always differ when it comes to the victims being black and the perpetrators being law enforcement. The NRA is the reason why gun violence in America won't go down and their violent and ridiculous rhetoric is why. The NRA for years has acted like a terrorist organization while trying to claim to be victims. Yet they actively work to provide cover for white supremacists that end up being domestic terrorists and never attempt o change. Listen to the whole show to find out why.

Topics:

* Joe & Mika only care about Trump now because they're the victims

* Hannibal Burress sends an imposter to the Spider-Man: Homecoming red carpet premiere

* Dana Loesch claims her video doesn't incite violence against the left (it does)

* Ten white supremacist terrorist attacks the NRA and Right don't address

* Coon...I mean Colion...Noir says the NRA doesn't need to speak up about Philando Castile because they...hired him

* Who funds the NRA?

* That time the NRA boycotted Smith & Wessen for developing a smart gun

* Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro

* Growing babies in your living room in pods...what could go wrong?

* Black Woman Shoutout

* Xandra Jackson - Portraits, paintings and photography. Check out her Instagram Page @XandraJackson
