The On-going Saga of Chris Brown and what it should mean to us.

So there is alot being said about the performer Chris Brown in the media nowadays because of some poor choices he made recently. Apparently,according to detectives and overwhelming evidence supporting the accusations,he beat up his girlfriend Rhihana who is also a major super star performer. It's really too bad. I mean it's really too bad that nobody ever explained some key lessons to Chris Brown. Now let's say your a super star and your lady friend is mouthin' off in the passenger seat of your rented Lamborgini,and you smack her around a little bit. That's bad. You are a public figure,and you will more likely than not get away with it. You have money,endorsement deals, record deals,you have alot to lose and if your girl decides,she can try and take you for as much of it as she can. Not to mention that your never supposed to hit a girl...in a Lamborgini...of course.

Now let's just take a step back and think about this. What if this girlfriend of yours is not only a super star herself, but probably a bigger star than you. And you beat her up? Your a public figure remember? So is she! There is no way you are going to get away with this now! She may not need to sue you for everything you've got,but she can do worse now. She can ruin your career for good! What were you thinking Chris Brown! Why would you do something like this? Didn't you have enough without having to cross the line that is not supposed to be crossed? You have money,cars,a fast life, a great promising career,and a beautiful girlfriend who is successful as well. Why did you have to go and put hands on her. Now you are facing two felony counts and possible prison time. Geez, and I know that we don't know the entire story or what led up to the horrible events of that night. But it still doesn't matter. You had a choise to walk away Chris Brown, and you didn't. Not only did you not walk away but you whooped that trick and beat her like a damn drum! I mean c'mon, I saw the pictures and you beat the un-holy hell out of her.


I always knew that Chris Brown was dangerous. He is young and urban. Being young you know his emotions and hormones and what not are all over the place which makes him unstable to say the least. He hangs out with rappers and shady characters. Has probably been influenced in some way by all of that. And plus the kid is ripped! All his dancing and crazy dance moves and all that. I mean,you know it's entirely possible for him to translate some of those "hot moves" into "hot deadly karate attacks" or worse! He is a menace! And he is just out there running a muck in the streets beating people up and doing whatever he wants!!! Ok I don't know that part for sure,but it would be too crazy if he was. I guess what I am really trying to say is cut the kid a break.Ease up on him will ya? Yes he is a menace and all but he is young and famous. I think it is easy to forget in the face of such a horrible crime that he is in fact a celebrity.

Here we are condemning him and taking away his endorsements and talking about whether or not he really deserves a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award and what not when what we really should be thinking about is how we can help him and how we as a people want nothing more than to just forgive him for beating up other superstars and doing whatever he wants. Because like I said,remember he is a celebrity! And celebrities are supposed to be able to do whatever they want and get away with it right? This IS California right? The state where we seldom hold our movie stars and recording artists responsible for their wrongs. That's why people love them and want to be like them right? Because of the idea that they really can do whatever they want. So he beat up a girl,a very pretty and talented girl. It's not like he killed anyone this time right? It's not like he did it because of some crazy terrorist anti-American belief or anything right? THIS IS CALIFORNIA! OJ Simpson hacked two people up out of jealousy in an up-scale Brentwood neighborhood and we let him off the hook initially. He led police on a gnarly high speed freeway pursuit that was on every channel and a jury of his peers still let him go play golf while the blood stains were still barely drying. It took him doing some stupid robbery type shit in a whole other state before he ever got in any kind of real trouble for anything. And alot of Americans still love him. I do!


So I say that not only will time heal all wounds with the public and with Rhihana's face,but that if we are really true to our beliefs and the way things have always been with celebrities and justice,we will not only forgive Chris Brown and buy his next few albums,but we will gladly chew whatever gum he promotes,drink whatever flavor of Gatorade he tells us to,and wear whatever brand of clothes he dances around in. It's the American way! We are all in fact mindless idiot Americans who over consume what the media and our celebrities feed us right? So let's start acting like it! Because who are we to smash the dreams of all those children who dream of being pop stars someday so that they can do whatever they want with no consequences for their actions? What kind of a world would this be if our celebrities modeled behavior that was decent and right? What if Britney Spears never lost her damn mind and shaved her head after marrying and divorcing some white trash gold digging back up dancer? Then she would have never been able to make a come back! And look at all the whacked out crap she was into for awhile,and we all forgave her right? Chris Brown...you are on your way back into our hearts,no matter what TMZ or the news says about you. If you end up doing it again or to someone else,just don't get caught because America needs to love you. I need to love you.
