Akon's a dumb talentless douchebag
That might be true, but honestly, that girl looks older than 14.

And of course that site has turned it into another black/white debate :

CLICK HERE to view the original video of the molestation. Send this link to anyone and everyone to make sure the world sees with their own eyes what black rappers, hip hop, and R&B artists are doing to women, and underage women, with the approval of many in their community. Read some of the comments on the article page from blacks encouraging, cheering Akon, and blaming this on the 14 year old girl.

Danah Alleyne is the girl that Akon molested on stage. Hollywood Grind posted a video and pictures of that night (click here to view), and confirmed the girl was 14 years-old (click here to read that article), although now it is claimed she is 15 years-old. Akon dry humps women at many of his shows, and despite it being totally inappropriate, and illegal in states like Florida, many in the black community claim there is nothing wrong with it (unless a white man does it). Some say this kind of dry humping is common on islands populated most by blacks, but that doesn’t make it morally okay or right. Don Imus said that hip hop, rap, and r&b artists say and do far worse things to encourage violence in general, violence against women, gang activity, crime, encourage drug use, make women sex objects, and demean women.
Despite the criticism, Akon is getting a lot of support from the black community for his inappropriate actions, just as other artists like Snoop Dogg. If a white man does it the black community says he needs to be FIRED. If a black man does it the black community says he’s just reflecting real life. This is a double standard in America, but after Imus was fired more attention has been focused on the fact that the black community’s acceptable standards are far lower than the standards which exist in white American communities. The lower standard certainly doesn’t do anything to help children growing up in black communities to succeed in America.
No one can force black communities to change their view of right and wrong, but white businesses can stop firing people for offending the black community by using language considered acceptable in black communities, and used by hip hop, rap, r&b, and young blacks in those communities. The rule of thumb is supposed to be that it’s only considered offensive if the language offends the community’s standards, and obviously what Imus said did not offend black community standards, and Akon’s dry humping is supported.
The fact is blacks who call for people like Imus to be fired aren’t asking for him to be fired because he said something that they would never say, it’s because those who called for him to be fired are racist, and they are looking for any excuse to attack a white man. You may disagree, but this seems like a fair assessment to me.
Should Akon treat women like sex objects and ask them to get up on stage to dance like whores for a fake contest? Should black communities condemn this type of behavior from everyone?
As for her looking or age or not, in the pics from the concert, yeah, she looks legal. In this one, not so much:

I hope Akon goes back to Africa and stays there and never has another annoyingly successful album. That's not an anti-black comment either, this guy is just a hack
