Dude. Its been all over the news. They are planning to re try. He is still in for 16 years on the California charges, and a third set are moving forward. He is completely vilified, stripped of all pretense of power, and pretty much every member of the public agree he deserves what he got.
What part of this is racist?

I think the concern that many of us have is that pretty much every member of the public agrees that he deserves what he got primarily because the media put him in the villain category and did one-sided reporting.
He traded sex for opportunities in an industry where he controlled many of the opportunities. That shut out a lot of women not willing to do the exchange, and for creative (non-actress) jobs, it shut out a lot of men.
But rape and sexual assault. I am not too sure of that.
You can of course make the same claims about the overemphasis of Innocent status for some of the one-sided documentaries that Netflix has produced.
For many of us, the issue is really about the mass-media takeover of the justice system for use in entertainment and advertising. For high-profile cases, the guilt or innocence is determined at the editorial level when someone decides which slant the media is going to take on a case.
No, I'd say "many" of us are not concerned. In fact quite unconcerned. Nor do I think the media told me what to think. I truly think he forced himself on women in hotel rooms. Physically. And then threatened them after. I think it was essentially date rape.
I think he is a bully, a coward, and a predator. And again, not many think this was a case of media entertainment. It was a high profile case because of his position, and the need to expose him. The failure in fact of the media was not exposing more of them. They know who they are.
What makes you conclude he is a sociopath? Are you a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist? Have you actually met him? If you are going to try to discredit Nasherd, you discredit what he is saying. Summarily diagnosing him with a disorder sounds like you are incapable of finding fault with what he is saying.
Hip-hop started with positive grassroots messages and also perspectives that cast the establishment into a bad light. By the 90s, mostly crime-glorifying music was greenlit by white owned record companies.
Actually it is Statutory Rape. If title said that it would get less clicks. (The majority of Americans gloss over when descriptions start including multi-syllable words.) Yes, it is still awful and he must be punished appropriately. The justice system punishes appropriately for the crime not the clickbait headlines.
Well I did not know who Tariq Nasheed was, but on wikipedia I found this below. He sounds like a kook.
"According to Refinery29, Nasheed "is notorious for his misogynistic, queerphobic, xenophobic and often ahistorical commentary on Blackness in America."[26] Stephen Kearse of The New York Times refers to Nasheed as a "conspiracy buff".[27]
He has voiced opposition to African immigrants, arguing they make getting reparations for African-Americans more difficult, and they allegedly take jobs and other opportunities away
Nasheed is known for his use of the term "bed wench" and the related term "Negro bed wench mentality".[7][22] He uses the term to refer to black women who date interracially.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Nasheed was highly vocal about his distrust of the COVID-19 vaccine."
