While checking my facebook i happen to come across this uploaded picture from a friend's album. Supposedly Rihanna after her.. disagreement with Chris Brown... TMZ claims its legit but who knows. Personally, i dont really care much for gossip in the celeb world. Theres always some new "hot scoop" going around. But after hearing how Chris Brown had reportedly been arrested for beating his girlfriend to a pulp, i just had a few things to say.First off, Brown's image completely ill prepared his fans for his actions.
Secondly, no matter the issues, i dont believe a man should EVER beat a woman. Yes, some girls do need a good slap in the face ( you know it.. i know it) but to beat a girl!?... really?... Thats just a disgusting show of power in males to dominate over women.
But what really caught my eye was a friend's response to this picture.
"if ur gonna post this pic up,fine... make sure u put up the rest of the pics of the non famous women who get beat on by bitch niggas everyday!!! ppl only feel for her because shes "famous", this is bad, dont get me wrong but c'mon lets be real...what about the everyday working woman who lives this shit on a daily basis? i dont see her story all over the news!!! im jus sayin.. "
And i agree with every word.
Society is in an uproar over Rihanna's injustice.

But what about the millions of women suffering this injustice every single day of their lives?
Do they not matter b/c they arent famous?

But what about the million other men who have violent actions against women every day?

Its a shame, Both Brown and Rihanna are real people, just like the rest of us. And the Media is using his mistakes and her pain to profit $$
Has society really become the kind of place where in order for people to care, you must first be "someone worth while"?
The government/media likes to create the false illusion of control and power.
They only show what they can be shown to fix.
The moment they turn to the real problem, they show how powerless they really are.
