I am so appalled by this post.
You don't like Sean Penn; fine. I'm okay with that and I'm positive Penn's going to get by as well.
Anyway, this is about Chris Brown. I don't know what Chris Brown feels in his heart. I see a lot of bravado and a lot of posing. He has said that he was raised in an abusive home (and his mother has confirmed that) so I can't help wondering if he realizes that he is part of the cycle of domestic violence that keeps turning and turning and turning. And I wonder how he feels to know that he is the thing he probably swore he would never be.
But I'm so tired of Chris Brown and I'm tired of the shrill yelps screaming for him to be mutilated or beaten to a pulp, as if that would do any good. I'm out.
Chris Brown is obviously a very disturbed young man. He's one of thousands of young men who have grown up in abusive homes, who have watched his mother be brutalized and have probably been abused themselves. They often see their mothers return to their abusers again and again. They grow up swearing that they will never treat a woman the way they their mother's were treated, that they will never raise their hands to a woman. Then lo and behold, one day something snaps inside and the whole vicious cycle keeps turning.
I feel sad for Chris Brown and for the girls unfortunate enough to encounter him. It must be hell to look into the mirror and see the monster you swore (as you cowered and wept in fear) you would never be.
But it's easier to join the hyena pack and yowl.
Or you can believe your website that doesn't seem to have even bothered to do anything themselves.
Believe it or not, 'Live to Tell' is my favourite Madonna song.
If Jay-Z is up on some kind of high-horse (and that's a BIG IF because a lot of folks are making assumptions), he should be the FIRST one to get his ass off and take Chris Brown under his wing. He needs to show Brown that you can turn your life around and try to make amends after doing unimaginable wrong.
And I'm sure that line is Chris Brown's idea of a joke.
I would not want to be Sean Penn's wife/girlfriend/woman/date, although I would fuck him in a heartbeat. Hard. I have no idea why he cares about the Falklands, Maldives, whatever. I think that one thought given to those islands by anybody other than the people/sheep/penguins who live there is a thought wasted. And a life lost for them is a life thrown away for less than nothing.
And holding a party while your daughter AND cash cow lay dead nearby is obscene.
My heart breaks for your little cousin but are you really putting that on Chris Brown?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you're implying that the Black community is okay with domestic violence, which is completely mistaken. Black people are more than familiar with violence of all kinds. I didn't get the memo that there was a new, violent archetype for Black masculinity. My archetype is my father. I would be willing to bet that the majority of the misguided little girls who THINK they want Chris Brown to beat them aren't Black. I don't know what Usher said, so I can't speak to that, but what were you expecting?
Did you watch the Grammy Awards? Because I did and quite frankly, I was very surprised. That audience made up of Black people AND WHITE people gave Chris Brown a standing ovation. Now it's one thing to give him a Grammy because that's voting in the privacy of your own home. But the people in that audience stood up for him on the anniversary of the evening that he beat another performer black and blue. Not only that, but he performed twice, once with other musicians who didn't seem to have a problem sharing the stage with him. No wonder he thinks he can get away with shit like that stupid tweet. An audience of his peers gave him a standing ovation! There was an audience of millions watching and NOBODY took a second to speak out on domestic violence. Nobody wore a t-shirt. Not even the victim herself. Nothing.
I have no problem in disliking Chris Brown. I don't even have a problem with hating Chris Brown. But if you think that Chris Brown is the beginning and the end, then you are fooling yourself and maybe that's why girls like your cousin think it's okay if their boyfriends hit them.
I have never understood why a cool woman like Nicole Richie was with such a lump of flesh. The Australian chick is doing her a favour. And when that Madden creep is finally cut loose, he's going to beg to play state fairs. Lionel Richie isn't Dancing on the Ceiling big but I'm sure he's got enough clout to fuck Madden up.
