At the same time people would rather see people Lil Wayne on stage who sleeps with multiple women, does drugs, and who knows what else perform on stage singing about fu**ing every girl in the world and keep in mind most of his performance was bleeped out, and we also heard artist who degrade women and brag about killing people, the guns they have, fighting someone etc.
Our world and some of our views are truly messed up. We all deserve second chances and I in no way am saying that I condone domestic violence (let's also keep in mind men are victims as well and we all know Rhianna's history of being violent) but I am saying get off the man just like we would like a second chance he deserves one too.
Many have said what type of example would BET set if they let him perform? Others say BET would be condoning domestic violence etc. First off BET is already crap and feeds into the stereotypes of blacks in generals. BET does not represent me, it is no longer known as Black Entertainment Television but as CET (Connery Entertainment Television). I believe having Chris Brown on would of been one of the few positives things BET could of done right. Yet, having us act ignorant on College Hill and condone shows like Toya & Tiny, and Keiysha Cole's family getting their own show is what some consider setting a good example???
Boy BET's priorities and views are soo out of wack. Let me just say no one better say one word when MTV scoops Chris up for their tribute. I don't want to hear anything about him being a sell-out or anything of that nature. Unlike BET, MTV knows how to do things right and have no hesistation in giving others a second chance. Like I said before we all need a second chance, but you know black people tend to have trouble bringing up their own they just want to keep them down. This could have been a prime time to honor Michael and at the same time bring up and support Chris Brown when he needs it the most. We must look beyond things and move forward in life, this is something he has to live with and we don't need to feed in to the crabs in a bucket saying.
If no one else supports Chris Brown I do, I hope he's coming to a city near me because I will be there with bells on to see what I'm sure will be a new and improved MJ tribute. Keep ya head up Chris!
