HELL NO! It is never ok for a male to hit a female, I don't give a rat's ass even if it's Chris Brown. His performance at the BET was good, until he started to cry. He just tried to make people feel sorry for his ass!

ok well for one i do understand that what he did was wrong but everybody makes mistakes,, nobody in this world is near perfect... let the man live his life whatever happened between him and rihanna leave it to him because nobody knows exactly what happened between them all you know is rumors that people have been speading around., im not defending what he did because he was completly wrong for hitting on her in the first place but if she has forgiven him then why cant you., rihanna has moved on with her live and thats all that he is trying to do but yall keep bringing him back down,, chris brown really isnt a bad person yall people just judge him by one bad thing he did,, i believe that he is sorry and understands that what he did was wrong... but yall need to stop worrying about his life and let him live his life,, one thing yall need to also to remember is the most important person that he needed forgiveness for his god,, god forgave him for what he did and he wouldnt like that yall are all bringing this man down for one mistake he made in his life life,, like it says in the bible treat other like you would want to be treated,, think about it if you made a mistake would you want everybody talking about you for the rest of your life i think not,, so yall need to go on with yall lives and let him live his

another thing i wanted to drive home--we cant be hypocritical glorifying one wrong/sin over the other. example-- what is really animalistic is Tiger Wood screwing over 50 something women while is married---as if it is a game of golf--going from one hole to the next. That is also the concept and nature of an animal/dog. Of course all of these women are low lives because they clearly knew he was married as well. Tiger Woods was heartless of doing this over and over and over and over again...and cant use the excuse to say he is young and immature....he is a grown man cleary with sex addition problem that he knew he had but try to keep it under the sheets/DL. Tiger basically got thumbs up--and kept his golf career going. He may have loss some of his endorsements but he should have gotten black listed and ban from playing golf for at least a year and have him to so come meaningful community service and get mandated to stay in counselling for years to come....because this is not a wake up tomorrow and i am free from being a sex addict without going the full healing/restoration process. A sex addict concept is a hole is a hole...they will have sex with anyone and anything--some go as far as having sex with a dog. No kidding--one Pastor tried to hide his addition for years but one day was caught having sex with his dog in his garage. uuuuhh. So basically what i am saying everyone needs to pay the consequences for their wrong doing-everyone is a role model for someone whether they know it or not. okaying these things sends the wrong message to our this generation and our kids who is the future. But at the end of the day, after they receive their rebuke/punishment, we have to get them help, forgive them, love them and pray for them. Also at the end of the day if they dont change their ways...they will get the just true recompense/reward which only comes from God.
God said in his word--"vengance is mine and I shall repay". So our job is to walk in love even when wrong is one. thank God he forgives and forget....Lord knows where we ourselves would be or end up. Have a great day you all!

This is to address the person above that is known at Chris Brown Sucks and others that are still blasting/hating him. Noone is saying lets pat Chris on the back and approve of his action. The only difference you and Chris Brown is that his mistakes/issues is publize and yours isnt. How many times have you needed or received forgiveness in your lifetime. And truly none of us cant even say that at 19 or 20 yrs old we have not done things that we regretted, foolish, embrassing and immature things...things that could have detrimented our lives and in come cases may very well have. None of us is perfect and without sin, that is why Gods grace and mercy is new every morning. If God said in his word how many times you should forgive your brother....he basically said to infinitely. Our job is to not beat/kick him while he is already down....we should yes rebuke and correct him, pick him up, forgive him and show him love. He has been punished and will continue to pay the price for this. More and more Kids are exposed to all time of abusive homes/surrounding and while some may not be affected by it in the long run, most are...which is why they must get the help , love and support they need to get them on a different track so they dont continue in this same generational pattern/cycle.
Both Chris and Rihanna have issues and needed to seek out professional help. None of us really knows what really does on behind close doors with couples...Rihanna may only appearing now to be a victim because the event is publize . Rihanna or Chris have no right to put their hand on each other or verbal & emotional abuse which inflict deeper damage to the individuals. God said if you cannot forgive your brother I too wont forgive you of your wrongs/sins and your own blessing and success will be blocked. Next time you are facing hardtimes/hell just reflect back and remember that....you just might be reaping all the negative trash talking, unforgiveness that you have put on Chris Brown. To: Chris Brown & Rihanna-- Love you Guys and we're here for you. ... All success and blessings to you both...there is always a "story behind the glory"....so Grow and Develop from this experience...make a real change & a real difference in your lives and others that is watching you.

Chris Brown Sucks - 14 years ago
I respect Beyonce and Jay-Z for their decision not to attend if Chris Brown was the reason. I hadn't heard that but if it is the case, then they are sending a message that his actions are not acceptable. If the tables were turned and Rihanna had done the same thing, then I would feel the same way. What bothers me the most is that he claims it was an isolated incident, that there is no violence in his past, that it was all a big mistake. Im not buying that. When you look at the photos of Rihanna you can tell it wasn't a single hit out of frustration (which still is not acceptable). He beat the crap out of her. I agree with you that had the tables been turned and Rihanna was the aggressor, the media would have approached it different. Bottom line, right or wrong, its not the same thing. A man by nature can defend himself and refrain a women from hitting him. A women typically can not. That is not a macho male comment, its a physical fact. It is as if an adult was hitting an adolescent. The physical structure is just different. I still cannot forgive him for several reasons. First off, like you said, violence is violence. I can forgive a lot, but not physical violence. To me, its animalistic. Not exhibiting violence and resolving conflict is what makes us different from the wild animals. To me, violence is NEVER ok to resolve anything. Period. And if its "I was just frustrated" them my response is "then you are just an animal unable to control yourself". Secondly, (although I certainly do not look up to him, even before this incident) Chris Brown was unfortunately a role model. When you are in a position of authority or power or high visibility, it is very important to take the responsibility of that position. Children, aspiring performers and teens look up to him, idolize him and mimic his actions. Darn, even some pathetic adults try and mirror his image. True, its pathetic, but its a fact. When you have that type of responsibility, you are held to higher standards. You mentioned that we all go through one man. I agree, and it is for that higher power to decide his fate. What happens to him in the afterlife is not my concern. I do not wish he is harmed nor do I wish he is forgiven. That is between him and his maker. But I cannot just blindly forgive his barbaric actions. In my honest opinion, he is just trash.
arveen - 14 years ago
I totally forgive Chris Brown and to hear this morning that Beyonce and Jay-Z didn't attend because of his tribute is just crazy. We have to learn to forgive and forget what if it was Rhianna beating Chris's but and he didn't do anything back would she be ridiculed because she beat up on him no because she is a woman but violence is violence no matter who committs it all sinners must go through one MAN.
Chris Brown Sucks - 14 years ago
Seriously... Chris Brown is a piece of crap. His apology was beyond fake: like he really knows the words he used in that apology, then wearing a baby blue sweater and blue bow tie on Larry King the next day. Total bull !!! You all, remember, he is a performer. That is his job. He is performing again... lying. What he did to Rihanna was not an isolated incident. You don't go from "great, clam, never did anything wrong" guy to 'bashing your girlfriends face into the dash and beating the crap out of her'. What he did is not acceptable. Forgiving him just sends a message to the industry that his behavior is acceptable and further glorifies the shitty "gansta, Ill pop a cap in yo arse" music. He's crap ... PERIOD !

If former drug dealers like Jay Z can get a pass from everyone after destroying lives, increasing the number black kids in foster care, putting more men and women in jail on the streets by selling crack and he has never done anything to redeem himself by helping the ones who suffered to build his empire. I can't understand anyone not giving Chris Brown an opportunity to move past his mistake which he has paid.

I just wanna know why its ok for folks to accept RKelly after he had sex and peed on minors but Chris can't be accepted after Rihanna poses nude a month after calling herself a role model to those that were abused as well. Sorry but ya'll need to get off your white clouds and double standard bus and move on from what happened between them cuz I know alot of ya'll still have your RKelly cds like everyone else. Help him move on to be a better MAN instead of standing in his way and treating him like a CHILD.
