почему крис избил rihana

Judge not lest you be judgedвІ and other such philosophies. I agree that I cannot know the heart of Chris Brown. (I donвІ t even know the name of one of his hits!)

IвІ ve heard arguments that this issue of beating is in the past. вІ

Except itвІ s not OK. Remember the Natalie Holloway story? Another example of money, paparazzi, and fame contaminating our sense of right and wrong.

By placing this man on a national, if not global stage, our entertainment industry sent a powerful message: it is OK to use violent aggression to end an argument. There are no victims if you are a profitable person.

Our country lost.ВPAt the point we allow ourselves to see these humans named Chris and Rihanna as dollar signs we lose our own humanity.

The world of money, paparazzi, and fame profited.

That money kept talking to the producers of the GrammyвІ s and their decision to let a felon вІ a man who banned from international travel to certain countries because of his potential threat to society вІ put on a performance. Because heвІ s profitable.

But in the word of money, paparazzi, and fame everyone is portrayed as invincible. That little domestic dispute was unfortunate, but no one was actually there to know what went down. Maybe Rihanna had it coming to her. Maybe Chris was intoxicated. Maybe, maybe, maybeвІV. and in the world of money, paparazzi, and fame, this debacle needed to blow over and everyone needed to get their images back. BothВPvery special, not normal humans were successful and profitable.

I can guarantee if this happened to you in your household you would have some strong feelings about it.

If this happened to your neighbors, Nate and Donna, youвІ d have an opinion and you probably wouldnвІ t be feeling very good about that Nate fellow.

And then, one night, they got into a disagreement just like any other disagreement in any other household but in this case that argument escalated and Chris smacked the snot out of Rihanna, so much so she was admitted to the hospital and he was arrested, tried and convicted of battery.

You see, not too long ago there was this couple. Their names were Chris and Rihanna and even though they had lifestyles that included money, paparazzi, and fame, at home they were just Chris and Rihanna.

As I battled my thoughts about this I realized I owe my allegiance to something more than what others may think of me or the music industryвІV I owe it to my philosophy about how humans should be treated and to my belief in a sense of right and wrong to have an opinion.

I hesitate to write because I am not a Chris Brown music fan. I wouldnвІ t recognize him or Rihanna in a photograph if the caption was missing. So who am I to throw out an opinion? IвІ m far from knowledgable about their life!

IвІ ve gone back and forth about whether I wanted to discuss this subject on StealingFaith. Chris Brown has been a lightening rod for discussions about domestic violence and the way the entertainment industry (and our country) will react in defense вІ or lack there of вІ of victims.

Earlier this week I read a story titled:ВP . If you havenвІ t already read it, take a moment to click through вІ then yвІ all come back now, yaвІ hear?!

IвІ m doing my own version of theВP12 Days of Christmas this year. Today, on the day lyrically celebrated by six Geese a’Laying, IвІ m republishing the 6th most popular post on StealingFaith in 2012.
