I know I made a post earlier, but I want to say something.
I, along with the rest of the world, have heard about the whole Chris Brown/Rihiana incident. I don’t like to follow the around the lives of the rich and famous in those crackmag’s called tabloids, but I feel bad and sympathy for Rihana. No woman shoudl have to go through an ordeal of being beaten by your partner.
Now I know that there are people behind Rihana, and there are people behind Chris Brown. I expected that. But I didn’ expect this:
Here’s a quote I gotten off another blog:
WHITNEY wrote: I’M STILL GOING TO SUPPORT CHRIS BROWN UNTIL THE END. I DONT CARE IF HE DID IT OR NOT. OBVIOUSLY SHE PROVOKED HIM AND EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES SO, IM NOT GOING TO DOWN TALK HIM NOR TRY TO BRING HIM DOWN LIKE THE WHITE MEDIA IS GOING TO. HE’S STILL A KID. KIDS MAKE DUMB CHOICES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. GIVE THE KID A BREAK IT’S HIS FIRST TIME IN HIS 4 YEAR CAREER.
Read the line in dark print again. What hurts me is that this is one post of the many supporting Chris Brown. I’m not upset abotu the fact that people are supporting Chris Brown (its disheartening, but still we do not know all the facts of what happened that night). What strikes a chord of anger inside of me is that some people are saying Rihana deserved it. That she prevoked him.
I have a strong opinion when it comes to domestic violence. If you are a man, you gon’t put your hands on a woman with any intention of doing her harm. Ever. Even if you slip up, or blame it on a sudden sprout of anger, you don’t have any authroity to hit a woman.
So when someone says she deserved it, then yeah, I will get angry. I wouldn’t wish for anyone to hit their girlfriends, wives, etc. I wouldn’t wish that hell on even someone that I may dislike.
Now I hope Rihana can recover in peace with the full support of her family. And I hope Chris Brown will be dealt with accordingly.
It’s just sad that in our society, some people still believe that some men can be excused for domestic violence just because they were prevoked.
