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.

Agreed.
The media–they love you and hate you, they love to hate you but when things are going great, they love again and are your “best friends”
Not all media spins, but entertainment media tends to.

i love reading this web sight more than any others. but i have to say why does it have to say “the white media” has anyone thought maybe it has nothing to do with skin color? i play “white” DJ’s how sit and support chris 100% how bout just say the “stupid” media and leave the skin color out? they can not change what color they are. what chris did was wrong, no one should do that to another person! but at some point everyone needs to move on.

@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.

Even Rihanna has moved on (did you see her Diane Sawyer interview?) This is ridiculous. People will say, “oh, Chris only found the cure for AIDS so people will forgive him” or “you know Chris is faking brain cancer so we’ll have sympathy”

Chris Brown is their new Michael Jackson…they would ruin this kid till death if his fans and black media don’t step up.
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.

@MsBeautySoul,
Chris brown is not my type of music, my taste is a little bit more mature. But, for a young artist, he has talent, and some decent music. I think you will enjoy the awards, the second half was my favorite.
