Back in 2002, when video surfaced depicting a man who looked very similar to R. Kelly giving a golden shower to a 13-year-old girl, radio stations throughout the country immediately pulled Kells music from their playlists. And while those same radio stations were quick to spin Kells records once he resumed recording better songs than, "Heaven I Need A Hug", at least they took a stand.
Fast forward to 2009. Another R&B star is embroiled in a nice little scandal. So after spending a weekend listening to terrestrial radio, I found myself appalled that radio stations continue to play Chris Brown songs.
There are some things I have absolutely zero tolerance for. Among those include people who beat up on women, people who beat up on kids and people who beat up on animals.
So why this little punk Chris Brown gets a pass is reprehensible. Technically, he's "innocent until proven guilty". But seriously. Everyone knows what he did. He knows what he did. If Brown didn't, he wouldn't have hired Mark Geragos (they guy who represented one of the all-time biggest pieces of shit, Scott Peterson) as his attorney.
Now people make mistakes in life. So I can see (could never personally understand) how a guy with a short fuse could lose it, hit his lady and immediately show remorse for doing so.
But what Chris Brown did to Rihanna is so far beyond that. He beat her bloody. And Brown clearly displayed no hesitation in continuing to pummel Rihanna after she enlisted her personal assistant to call 9-11.
We want this little rat boy's crappy music in our ears?
Something is seriously foul when the Dixie Chicks get chastised for speaking the absolute truth, but for so blatantly disrespecting women, Brown seemingly faces no repercussions from program directors across the country.
