Abuse

I'm tired of the whole Chris Brown and Rhianna domestic violence thing, can we please just wait to hear all the details before we pass judgement? However, that does open the door to my very short post this morning. Domestic violence is serious, and no one should be coming home and whipping on their spouse because they have no other way of expressing themselves, but lets be clear, there is a difference between domestic violence and losing a fight. If your spouse is beating on you because they are losing a verbal argument, had a bad day at work, caught you cheating, didn't like how you made the meatloaf, etc., those are clear signs of abuse/domestic violence. However, if you physically attack someone you are dating and they end up whipping your ass, you just lost a fight. I'm tired of people being the aggressor, getting their ass whipped and then hiding behind their sex, gender, orientation and/or age to gain pity and support. What happened to equality? What happened to men and woman striving to be equal? Let's be clear, I don't believe anyone has the right to put their hands on another, but if you choose to turn an argument physical, the other person has every right to whip that ass! I know some will disagree and say a man has no right to ever put his hands on a woman, and I will say you are wrong and hope you don't end up being a silent victim of domestic violence as so many other men are.

  • i am glad someone understands where i am coming from with this situation. none of us know what happened & have the police tell it, they don't even really know what happened. Making it worse is the white media is crucifying Chris Brown without all the details and it just further perpetuates the destruction and misconception of the black man. a fucking shame. I personally think I may have handled the situation different, but since i don't know what happened i can't crucify him or her. So I really wish people would stop trying to victimize either of them by applying their own situations to this, because none of us know.

  • Yup, I'm tired of this story too. But that's the pitfalls of being famous. Everything they do is dissected and scrutinized. Cause we all know that if regular ole Hakim from down the street was accused of beating the shit out of Tinesha, that story wouldn't even make the back of the newspaper, much less the headline.
