Musician CeeLo Green says you can't be raped if you're unconscious
When is rape not rape?
According to musician/terrible human being CeeLo Green, it's whenever you have sex with a woman while she's unconscious.
After pleading no contest to felony charges on August 29—for drugging a woman with ecstasy against her knowledge while on a date, no less—Green took to Twitter to discuss the true nature of rape, spouting out words of wisdom like, "Women who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!"
According to Green, "If someone is passed out they're not even WITH you consciously! so WITH Implies consent".
Hear that? In Green's world, "being unconscious" is the new "I consent to sexual activity with whomever is in the room". Obviously if a woman doesn't want to hop on your dick, she wouldn't have agreed to go on a date with you or imbibed that drink you so thoughtfully drugged for her.
Here, @CeeLoGreen puts the onus on rape victims to prove they were raped, describes women as objects, like a house. pic.twitter.com/IIf8A4vr3C

On September 1, Green returned to Twitter to state he "sincerely apologize for my comments being taken so far out of context."
Green has since deleted all tweets relating to the truly disgusting things that he said.
He reportedly disabled his Twitter account temporarily, but only briefly since he has a new single to promote.
UPDATE: According to Variety, TBS cancelled the reality TV show CeeLo Green’s The Good Life prior to the singer's controversial remarks.
Hey, CeeLo: fuck you.

Well, there you go. Now I better understand why he decided to replace the f-bomb with "forget" in that song of his.

comparing women to houses really IS quite rude...should be more specific and compare them to kitchens...where they belong

And, just like that, no more Cee Lo in my life. Not that I was a big fan or anything, but 'Crazy' was nice, as was his work with De La Soul and some others...Geez I sort of thought he was cool before. Guess not.

Since he's facing these felony charges maybe CeeLo will end up in jail with big Bubba in the bunk below him , who will then steal into CeeLo's bunk at night while CeeLo is sleeping. And then he will pull out his extra huge dido...
Poetic justice anyone?

Doesn't the onus of proof always lie with the accuser? I'm not defending Cee-lo, but you can't accept accusation as fact simply because of the nature of the crime.

Remember according to feminism rape is all about power and privilege so since black men in the US have neither it's impossible for him to rape anybody.
