Rihanna - A Bad Example for Young Black Women

Published by swenson under Popped Celebs Edit This

I guess it’s still “alleged” that Chris Brown beat Rihanna, but by all indications it happened. We’ve seen the photo, we know police took him in, I don’t think there’s too much that’s been hidden. My question is where is the real outrage in the Black Community? I’m betting this will all blow over and Chris Brown will sell more records. It just seems like domestic abuse is nothing to get upset over as long as it’s black on black.

And guess what the big news is this week? Chris and Rihanna are back together again.

What a great example for all of the young black women out there in dysfunctional relationships where they’re being physically abused. This seems to be a “pimp attitude” in the hip-hop/rap scene–”A bitch is a bitch.” If a woman mouths off too much than she deserves to be hit, doesn’t she?

Now if Rihanna wants words of encouragement she can always get them from 50 Cent. Talking to ABC News this is what he had to say,”She was beaten past someone hitting a person out of anger that they couldn’t control at the moment. It’s like a man fighting another man versus a man fighting another woman. “

In other words, “She was beaten past how I normally would beat a woman.” How comforting, “Fiddy.”

I suppose I have to go to the extremely white band Nickelback to find lyrics to address the anger I feel at domestic violence:

You’re just a child with a temper
Haven’t you heard “Don’t hit a lady”?
Kickin’ your ass would be a pleasure

If you have some rap or hip hop songs that address the same issue please leave some comments. Most of what I’ve listened to I don’t think I’ve ever heard a male rapper chastize women beaters.

Honestly, it’s my opinion that if you beat your girlfriend or wife–you’re a pussy!
