Black activists plan R Kelly protest

Black activists are planning to protest outside R Kelly's concert at the Los Angeles Forum tomorrow.

Protesters are angry that the star is being allowed to perform in the city, despite being under investigation for 14 child pornography charges.

The group is planning to block the street leading to the LA venue before the show begins.

Activist Jasmyne Cannick told the Los Angeles Times: "It's a challenge to get the black community to even discuss it.

"It's like pulling teeth to get people to talk about this.

"They're acting like he doesn't have 14 counts of child pornography against him...We're all acting like we don't have daughters and nieces and little sisters."

Kelly's criminal case is pending.
