Update: Statement From the Live From Mars Facebook Page
Obviously, my sarcasm was an overshoot (and an attempt to lighten the tone of the [post], but honestly, people are doing the absolute most with it. The thing that gets me is when people say, "If it was your mom/sister/cousin, you'd feel different." Little do you know, I've experienced domestic about on many occasions, including in a relation I was in myself... but I can see the difference between someone who is physically/verbally abusive constantly, and someone who looses control of their temper enough to physically harm someone one time.
I think people assume I'm trying to excuse Chris from his actions. I'm not. Neither is he. I just want him to have the opportunity to better himself.
Someone on the blog said "I agree with Martian. What he did was disgusting and wrong but he's not gonna be able to be the best person he can be (and that we should want him to be) if we're always hating him... he won't be able to look past it. Plus, he deserves the praise he gets for his work. The world knows about what he did.... his career is entirely separate. He's a great performer."
What this all boils down to is people won't allow him to grow. They complain about everything he does, but all their doing is allowing it to overshadow the fact the he did everything the court ordered, was able to stabilize his relationship with Rihanna and continued to try and prove to people that he had learned from his mistakes. They won't let him be the amazing artist he is because all they see is that he made this one mistake. Seriously. Get over it. We all make mistakes. We all lose our cool. We all do things that we regret. Shit happens!
All of the other statements or actions that had nothing to do with this are irrelevant, like the so called homophobic slurs? Who cares. People have opinions. We all know Chris Brown is a powerbottom anyways.
...and the chair thing... look at it this way, it least he didn't lay the smackdown on the interview her. Her channeled his anger in another way and his sense taken anger management. It's growth. Any psychologist will tell you that people with anger problems don't change every night and I think the fact that Chris Brown doesn't go around putting his hands on everything that rubs him the wrong way says a lot. He doesn't have a history of violence aside from those two incidents. -Martian
Original Post:
Yes, I was extremely disappointed when I found out Chris Brown went all Powerpuff Girl on Rihanna's face, but much like the once power couple, I've moved on.
For some reason, the media just can't seem to do that. Instead of allowing Chris Brown to learn from his mistakes and grow as a person, they scrutinize him and make him relive it 3 years later. Their reason is mostly that we a glorifying domestic violence, but there are much worse things being promoted in lyrics of all genres, from murdering your boyfriend in country, to selling drugs in hip-hop, to being wildly promiscuous in pop.
What really set me off was seeing Country star, Miranda Lambert, bash Chris Brown after the Grammys for beating a girl, when her music pretty much tells women to kill any man that does them wrong. I love Miranda and her music, but that rubbed me the wrong way.
Well, Chris Brown pretty much isn't going to give a fuck anymore, and I'm extremely proud of him for a series of tweets from the other day. Check em out below.
no, that makes him immature. and the thing about that irks me about him it's that he doesn't seem to have learn from it. i feel in the future we're gonna hear about him doing this awful thing with another girl.
ReplyDeletehe showed a previous of his same mentality in GMA.
^^ my sentiments exactly
ReplyDeleteYou support that horrible piece of human being? Shame on you, whoever wrote this "article". He hasn't moved on, he is as horrible as he was before, just check his tweets.
ReplyDeletehttp://judycore.blog.com/ You should read her opinion! If you read the report on what he did and what he's capable of, you'll look at him from a completely new light, he's really an awful person and criminal. If Rihanna is really including him on "Birthday Cake" I see it as a pathetic publicity stunt.
ReplyDeleteIt's just crazy how people are like "it's been three years, he did his time, move on". No, he did not do his time. He should have gone to jail but because he is a celebrity got out of it and learned NOTHING from it. And tweets like this are what makes me hate him. But then again, RIhanna acts like it's no big deal so I'm mixed on the entire situation.
ReplyDeleteMy thing is, he hasn't done it again, nor does he have a history of violence. The media's hysteria would be completely rational if he was, in fact, abusing women left and right or even just for a second time.
ReplyDeleteHowever, he has not. You can't just put everyone in the same category based on one action. I have always said, and always will say (unless he does it again) that he was a kid who made a mistake and should not be crucified for it. Especially when you have people coming out nand saying Rihanna was emotionally and physically abusive to not only Chris but to past boyfriends.
If you choose to dislike Chris' art because of this, then you're only missing out on great music. No psychological evaluation of that one action is going to persuade me otherwise.
Let the boy be great.
I agree with Martian. What he did was disgusting and wrong but he's not gonna be able to be the best person he can be (and that we should want him to be) if we're always hating him... he won't be able to look past it. Plus, he deserves the praise he gets for his work. The world knows about what he did.... his career is entirely separate. He's a great performer.
ReplyDeleteAmen! I think people assume I'm trying to excuse Chris from his actions. I'm not. Neither is he. I just want him to have the opportunity to better himself.
ReplyDelete"no, that makes him immature. and the thing about that irks me about him it's that he doesn't seem to have learn from it. i feel in the future we're gonna hear about him doing this awful thing with another girl." EXACTLY!
ReplyDeleteI myself have been in a similar situation and it saddens me that even people who have been in a situation like this make an excuse for him,yeah people deserve second chances but we only know so much of what he's really doing or how much he has really learned and from what I see he has not learned that much a true gentleman would let his actions speak for himself and not be a little kid whining on Twitter because others are "hating" on him. Seriously who the heck is hating when all people are doing is stating the facts. 1 that he is a felon and 2.that he has not learned from it. Rihanna could've died,thousands of women and men die because of situations like this,can you imagine what a person who's been through this or is going through this feels? and worse when you read tweets etc saying "I'd let him beat the crap out of me any day" that's just extremely ignorant and sad. So maybe if he wants people to see that he's changed he should stop getting all offended when is reminded of what he's done and deal with it like a real man would. I don't like him and I was actually rooting for him,being a public figure so he could set an example that you can over come stuff like this but his childish actions are just a huge no-no.
