R&B Singer Chris Brown Isssues First Of Many Future Apologies - Too Many Black Folks Still Defending The Indefensible
Now it begins. Chris Brown is sorry, I mean really sorry.
Let's hope a few more parents of pre-teen and teenage girls will be sorry, but firm in not buying Chris Brown's albums, watching his movies or going to his concerts in the near future. Let's hope Wrigley is sorry but firm in dropping Brown as a spokesperson and Nickelodeon will be sorry, but firm about keep him off their teen-based programming. We can all be sorry together until Chris Brown gets it together.
Brown has the right to rebuild his reputation and his career, but this mess is a serious problem, not just for him, but his fan base, his peers, and his community. If Chris Brown is serious about getting back in business, then once his legal status is clear, he needs to admit what he did was wrong and come out as an advocate against domestic violence. Then, maybe his career can begin again.
And why does Jay-Z makes perfect sense on this situation? And why are too many black folks particularly black women too damn stupid to get how dangerous their defense of the the indefensible is? On Monday, MTV is holding a ratings fuel intervention for dumb-ass folks that think beating women is okay.
I don't really care about "what...what happened was" or whatever qualifiers folks want to come up with for this young cat. I want folks to be real and admit that if this was a member of their family that got beaten and choked by some average brother on the street, would you be so forgiving?
I'm sure at some point that fool that murdered Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother, and nephew will be sorry too. I'll be sorry for that fool when they put the needle in his arm to enforce the death penalty punishment that he should deservedly receive, but I will also be firm in feeling he earned it.
