Beating women in any race is wrong .

Everyone who typed their views in this thread should read "Soul On Ice" cover-to-cover, and then read their own comment again. It is not racist to say that race is involved here. Our society has many opinions, but ultimately it's a mob mentality, meaning that we share a consensus of all our views, and the reality of that should discomfort all of us. None of us will ever be able to view Chris Brown and Charlie Sheen on a level field of judgement, because none of us view a white man and a black man as the same symbol. If we do, we are ignoring history.

You would think that reacord companies would try to groom better stars with some class instead of taking the cheap way out and giving the public violent woman beaterss. This type of action does not help an industry that is aleady hurting.Record companies are hoping today's kids are stupid enough to buy CDs from a woman beating royal jester that prances around on stage or from a woman with a good voice that tries to hide the fact that she is very short by dressing up like a man to deflect some of the attention.

Chris Brown is trash. I wouldn't buy clothes from a sweatshop that exploits kids, and I won't listen to 'music' from a convicted woman beater, even if he can fly and sleeps with Bieber. As for all you people who keep claiming how Rihanna feels etc, how the f**k do you know? Were you there? Are you her friends? Naw, you're just a bunch of uneducated peeps who don't give a sh*t about integrity, just who sells. The guy can't even sing, he fake sings to pre recorded robot voices. I hope you encounter a Chris Brown someday, it's the only way some of you douches will learn anything, and then you'll get to hear how you deserved it.

Chris Brown's performance was nothing to write home about ,but something to write about is, MTV desperately latching on to a woman beater to try to recapture their old glory days before they replaced the music videos with their stupid reality shows.
