Chris Brown performance was the highlight of the BET Awards [PERIOD]. The white media adopted Rihanna as their honorary pop princess, and used everything in their power to destroy Chris Brown as an artist. I don’t condone violence, point blank, but the way the other media has treated Chris Brown is sadistic. Now, on the heels of a high moment, that proves this young man has actual talent , everyone and their mother are trying to discredit the moment to bring him down.
The new thing is that Chris Brown used eye drops and tear gas to cause fake tears , do people even know what tear gas is? If Chris Brown faked it, then great (standing ovation), that means he’s an awesome actor that needs to pursue a career in film. Secondly, it also confirms Chris Brown’s performance was stunning. He obviously captured Michael Jackson because he pulled us all in. It’s amazing how he got his voice to crack like a pubescent boy, and it’s amazing that instead of sharing a tear or two and finishing the song, he full out sobbed like black mother at a funeral, putting his manhood on trial in a room full of peers (put on quite a show).
All this digging to undermine a moment that was classic and passionate is just ridiculous, especially knowing that certain media has done everything in their power to shut him out– in the first place. Chris Brown did his thing at the BET Awards, and it was real to me. A lot more real than Lady GaGa’s dark theatrics, or Rihanna’s red hair. So what’s the point in trying to prove whether or not it was fake. It was just simply great!
But mag’ US Weekly claims one of Brown’s bodyguards gave him eyedrops just before the performance to induce tears. (Those must have been some magical eye drops that made him “act” well, too)

The media loves to tear down a black male more so than white males. Charlie Sheen can beat the poop out his wife and still perform on t.v. shows, as a matter of fact they couldn’t wait for him to come back. This is why I wonder why apologize publicly, when even if you are genuinely sincere about it, the majority will not be accepting of the apology.
I believe him, I think he has learned his lesson and he should get another chance just like the rest of the celeberities that have made past mistakes.

@JustLovely,
Lady GaGa can call the devil onto the stage and it’s fascinating, but Chris Brown’s performance has to be flawed.
Don’t get me started on CBS re-newing Charlie Sheen’s contract. A grown man with a history of abuse. Yet, a 19 year old should pay with his life, on his first offense.
I don’t think Alicia Keys should apologize, I think she should stay quiet. If she’s going to talk about it, then be open about it.

@MrsGrapevine 2,
This type of mess bothers me. I wonder how many more movies Mel Gibson will put out after his fiasco with his wife and then making a stereotypical slander of black men raping his wife? This is the same man that produced and starred in The Passion Of Christ what a mutha sucking hypocrite.
Rhiana better enjoy her limelight now, as soon as AmeriKKKa gets tired of her pelvic thrusting, labia hanging out, and ronald mcdonald look-a-like hair doo they are going to dismantle her career as well.

Thank you. I’ve been saying this for awhile. People are determind to discredit CB on every turn. I’m sorry to say this but it’s no surprise to me when white people do this, but blacks should not join in the craziness. We need to tell them to go back were they came from and give all the hell they got to there own; don’t come looking for us we don’t want any.

@Really,
Your right, no one should be suprised at how the white media is going to throw stones at him. If he cries, it’s fake–if he don’t cry, he’s arrogant and nonchalant about his actions. I wonder have they ever thought, that Chris was emotional for a number of reasons 1) being back on stage performing like he used to 2)the song itself man in the mirror-he may have reflected on his self and how he is trying to change 3)the crowd was receptive of him and showing support.

@JustLovely, Exactly. It’s like “we have to defeat him in any way we can”. They don’t even take into consideration they were both young; that alone should have been a reason to back off the story. You don’t try to squash someone while they’re still in their growth process.

@JustLovely, You are so right. It seems they also have a uncle Tom in their mix (JayZ). I knew he was mad about the fight between CB and RiRi. But he has tooken it to far. The radio station in NYC are not playing chris’s music. All I hear are Beyonce, RI,GAGA. I’m so sick of it. I went to target to buy another Graffiti album and they told me they didn’t have it. when I asked why he said it comes from Headquater of target that decides whether to stock it. That’s some crazy stuff. I pray everyday that these Demonic people get theirs in the end. I feel so sorry for Chris. One fight with the Demonic Princess and all of this.But they say GOD works in mysterious ways.I know GOD is watching over Chris.

@lost for words,
I was going to say “mainstream” media, but in the black blog world that’s just code for white.
I will add a disclaimer, not all white blogs, or white people.
I use to defend the argument that it’s not about race, but I see more and more black blogs being more friendly toward Chris Brown than non-black blogs.
I guess I could have asked are black blogs to friendly toward Breezy.

Most of the White media I have read want him dragged thru the city at high noon and tarred and feathered. So do some of the Black media. I think what people are failing to see or don’t want to see is, the boy went into court and pleaded guilty. He is serving his sentence. Now if his sentence doesn’t please you, stop your yakking and go out and change the law. He must be allowed to make a living cause what else should he do, rob banks? He has to make a living. If he commits another crime then we deal with that then but we can’t act like he is a repeat offender until such time.

I’m going to state the obvious answer: YES.
It’s been extremely obvious since the ‘incident’ occurred that media began a radical slur campaign against Chris. No one takes into account the two previously recorded incidents that were revealed in court both of which claimed that she hit him first on multiple occasions and not once did he hit her(in one case it’s claimed that he pushed her away from him, and in another smashed a car window but not once did he hit her.) it was reported for two years that she was beating him up and because he finally snapped on her he’s suddenly been proclaimed a monster. Yes he was wrong, but so was SHE. This is the fact that people seem to forget and it’s not as if the man tried to convince the world that he was innocent. HE PLEADED GUILTY, owned up to his part of the situation in every interview and has since been trying to turn his life around. Since then every bit of good he’s done has been slandered by the media. First his charity work is blasted as a publicity stunt to get back into hollyweird’s good graces. Then his reading to children is frowned upon because he’s a ‘dangerous criminal’ (let’s remember that MAJORITY of the men in Hollywood have some sort of criminal record). and now because his BET performance was good people are trying to strip it of any sort credibility by saying his tears were fake. LEAVE THE MAN ALONE. If you’re going to point the finger him then you must also turn around and point at yourselves because no one in this world is innocent.

Mickey Rourke beat up Carre Otis and Sean Penn beat up Madonna but I never heard the media blaming them. They’re even on th A-list of Hollywood right now.
Chris Brown did a big mistake but the media doesn’t have to step into his career. Let him do his thing.

I have to say that I love this website (long time reader), however I am concerned as to why you dedicate so much space to cb news, I find it really annoying and really not of any interest since his incident. As a female voice in the media industry, I believe you are in a powerful position to shape societal attitudes towards domestic violence for our young girls, and this is irrespective of color. By continuing to publish cb news you are implicitly reinforcing these attitudes, regardless of any ‘disclaimers’ or provisos you intend to assert.

@miss z,
If you are a long time reader then you would know why I post CB News, and Rihanna News as well. We have been through this argument time and time again. I don’t feel that CB is a cookie cutter case of violence, and there is still so much we don’t know. He plead guilty, he did not further abuse Rihanna in the media, and he didn’t put her through a trial to save his own behind. Rihanna said he hasn’t hit her in the past, so as far as we know this is a single incident, in which he was forced to get help and she was forced to move on. That’s the best message sent. In real life the men don’t step up to serve, the women don’t testify or move on, and the cycle continues.
I have stated my theory on domestic violence, and the message the media send is flawed. The media says it’s ok for girls to hit boys, because we are weaker. They teach young men to except that women can be violent. It’s not just physical, if a person you love hits or abuse you, it scars you, no matter your sex.
Violence is wrong, no matter the gender, and I am tired of women defending women simply because of gender. Demonizing men simply because they are men. Look at the case for what it is. These two were spinning out of control, and many people around should have stepped up to say this is too much too fast. That’s where the role of the parent comes in.
Yes a man is stronger and can really hurt a woman physically, but women can cause black-eyes, too. So the best policy is to not hit at all, and to walk away if you have been hit, and get your life back in order.
It’s certainly not to take a 19 year old man-child, and abuse him in public opinion, for trying to be accountable, and show other boys the way. You need Chris Brown message because it goes out to young men. You need Rihanna’s message for young women.

@MrsGrapevine 2,
I am glad you stated that it is wrong for women to hit men and men are just suppose to accept it.
I do not agree with violence period amongnst either gender. I do not believe a man should just accept abuse from a female.
I do not believe this blog is perpetuating domestic violence.

OLD NEGROES WHO WANT TO GET IN HER POCKETBOOK LINE UP TO HELP, AND OLDER BLACK WOMEN ARE LINING UP TO DO THE SAME.

What REALLY gets to me is how Jay Z is acting. This is a guy who admits to selling crack to his OWN community before making it rich and now hob knobs with the Mayor and other important people. He was forgiven and given a 2nd chance and not to justify what Chris did but c’mon Rhianna was no angel either. The White media can eat a D. It’s the Black community I am shaking my head at. All these rappers brag about past crimes and call each other N this hoe dat and you support them but Chris is the one who is being lynched. Sad.

I guess I’m gonna be the one everyone is gonna hate because watching his performance I was at first thinking that he was amazing and had every move to a T and then I was overcome by a feeling of disgust. I’m sorry but the crying felt fake. I felt like he took this opportunity that was given to him by the Jacksons and made it all about him. It was supposed a tribute to MJ and when he began sobbing he turned it in a “ME ME ME ME” moment. He was given an inch and took a mile…nobody is talking about what a moving tribute to MJ he did, everyone is talking about how he sobbed on the stage, about how CB was so overcome by his troubled year that he broke down singing a song on stage, that he was remorseful about what had gone on, etc etc. He overshadowed the reason he was on the stage in the first place- to honor a fallen legend, to make up for the crappy tributes from last year!! I believe the crying was fake and that he was prob pressured to do this by his pr people in order to garner sympathy from the public in order to save his career which has been at a standstill. Sigh and this comes from a fan of his….the kid is a genius dance wise and musically he is pretty good which is why i’m more inclined to blamed his pr people more then him per se but regardless he made the choice to put on this act…..

@a fan,
Actually I think it was about both Chris Brown and MJ, and BET giving him an opportunity to honor his hero, and a chance to re-launch his career. BET shut him out last night, and this was about Chris Brown, too. The real MJ tribute was held last year.
I don’t mind people thinking the tears were fake. Fake or not, I think his performance was great. Did you think the performance was good?
I am more concerned with stories featuring anonymous people who saw Chris Brown bodyguard give him tear drops. Really?!?

make no mistake about it. this child is suicidal. obama promised old negro entertainers favors if they produce black votes 4 him, and now watch as they’re returning to the stage. i hope no one listens to them next election because poor and middle black america gets nothing from this president. chris is just one of the casualties (young black men). all over america young black men R being demonized and allowed to perish by OLD negroes only concerned 4 themselves. and that is sick. old people used to know they have a duty to HELP young people. now all they do is demonize and throw them to the enemy when they should be protecting them. the question is why???
jealousy of the money they make could be one.

I don’t condone abuse either but I will say this last week on another site their was a video of guy dragging his girlfriend on the ground this same site has a video up of a girl hitting dude then he turns around and pops her and knocks her out cold etc. here is the link http://mediatakeout.com/41986/dayummmm_girl_tries_to_fight_a_man_on_the_street____punches_him_and_then_kicks_him____and_dude_knocks_her_out_with_one_punch____pow.html
where is the uproar with this so, mrs grapevine it is not as much of abuse itself..It is (Who He hit) that is the issue and if the victim was a none famous we wouldn’t hear anymore about it.
Just ask the many times you may have seen someone getting hit a neighbor, friend, family memeber. did you make a big deal or did you say it is her/his situation let them deal with it?

IN THE MEANTIME CARIBBEANS BRAINWASH DUMB RICH BLACK AMERICANS AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND THESE FOOLS IGNORE THE HISTORY OF ABUSE AGAINST OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON TO HATE ON AND PERSECUTE OUR OWN AMERICAN MEN. AND THAT MY DEAR IS JUST PLAIN DUMB. IF CHRIS HAD BEEN A DIRTY VIOLENT CARIBBEAN MAN NOTHING WOULD HAVE BEEN SAID. NOTHING. THEY DONT WANT TO DATE THEIR OWN MEN BECAUSE OF THEIR VIOLENCE.

Not only does the white media tear down blacks, the black media outlets help them. Are we still talking about Charlie Sheen, Larry King, the white NFL player accused of rape, Lindsay Lohan: no, why, because their white. But we will be talking about Michael Vick, Tiger Woods, Chris Brown, and every other black celeb who mess up forever,and we as black people do the same thing so how can we expect them to act any differently. Even the Janet Jackson incident, blown way out of proportion, but white celebs walk around the same way.
