What is it gonna take for us to take domestic violence seriously? So today Beat Her Down Chris Brown issued a truly pathetic (and heavily scripted) apology to his fans. It’s too lame for me to post it on my site, but you can watch it here. Why so late, his lawyer advised him not to. I’m sure. So Chris Brown is looking all solemn and we’re just supposed to forgive him and carry on.
Apparently a lot of women, some with daughters have. Man on twitter, I’m about to lose my mind. Women saying “He’s just a kid!” (18 is an adult). Why should one accident ruin his career? Because that “accident” nearly killed someone and because he’s a role model to some kids. I mean, are we for real? Why are Black women the loudest ones calling for us to be calm and forgiving to a man who will choke you out and leave you in an abandoned car? Why are we forgiving a dude who’s rocking a big chain that says “oops” on it? Be for real, he’s not sorry. He hasn’t changed. He most likely will beat down another woman. And some of ya’ll will still be crying for patience and forgiveness.
He talked to his pastor and his mother. That doesn’t sound like the heavy duty counseling your abusive self needs to go to. That’s not going to change your mindset and calm whatever rage you have inside of you.
It just makes no sense. What do you think?

Agreed. I honestly don’t get it. The two arguements that people keep making are around his age and around the ruining of his life (when speaking about him doing jail time). And why are plea deals even options when evidence is so strong?? Its crazy. Just a classic case of the masses rallying around a man who has done wrong and completely undermining the totality of the situation and the woman involved.
