Chris Brown Forgiveness at the Grammy's Goes Way Too Far. Do You Agree?
Chris Brown Forgiveness at the Grammy's Goes Way Too Far
I don't know about you, but I wasn't thrilled with all the love Chris Brown got at the Grammy's. It's only been 3 years since he beat up then-girlfriend Rihanna.
But there he was, performing not just once but TWICE, getting more
airtime than the Whitney Houston tribute! And then they gave him a
standing ovation and a Grammy. What the hell?!?
I don't get it. We're supposed to just move on like that, after only 3 years? And why are people so ENTHUSIASTIC about forgiving Chris, anyway? It's like they're welcoming back a war hero and not a guy who beat his girlfriend to a pulp.
But it gets worse. Buzzfeed caught a rash of tweets from women saying super-disturbing things about Chris Brown. "Everyone shut up about Chris Brown being a woman beater... shiiittt he can beat me up all night if we wants." "I'd let Christ Brown beat me up anytime ;)" Seriously? And you're adding an emoticon to that? Is it because you're JOKING? Or did someone pay these women to say this? People who want to forgive and forget -- I get that. But asking for more? That's just sick.
Thanks a lot, ladies. Good job feeding that myth that violence against women is a turn-on. Way to represent.
I agree with Jenni Meyer's post in Crushable. I am not okay with all this big, loud Chris Brown love. I am not ready to just forget the Chris Brown beat the hell out of a woman. But obviously his producers and backers really, really want us to get the hell over it already because there's serious cash to be made here. And those of us who are still pissed at Chris Brown are just getting in the way.
For the music industry to look at their watches, shrug and say "oh well, it's been 3 years," and then welcome him back with ecstatic open arms is just disrespectful to women. They're saying, "Shut up and take your lumps. YOU DON'T MATTER." And I can't believe so many women, especially, are screaming YES to more Chris. But I guess it's what we can expect from an industry that is always asking us to look the other way at lyrics that are violent toward women.
How do you feel about Chris Brown's reception at the Grammy's?
I still think there is more to the story...like she hit him first...I think everyone needs to get over it already...
She hit him first is never an excuse to beat someone like he did Rihanna.
That said I thought his first performance was less than stellar. There was very little applause when he won the grammy and his second performance was really supposed to be more about David Guetta. So this assessment isn't totally fair. I would have liked to see a lot less of him though.
it is a reason, I am of the logical thought process, if you hit a man, expect to be hit like a man...
I think he's an asshole and I just don't think he's that talented at all.
The fact that he won a Grammy doesn't bother me. The award is for his work, not his personal life.
this. plus they've been secretly dating for the past year (or so i've heard, but tend to believe).
everyone needs to get over it and let them both move on with their lives
