I would like her to set a "good" example for all the young women out in the world who look up to her but showing Chris Brown and any other woman-beating man out there that this is completely unacceptable. I'd like her to leave him.<BR/><BR/>BUT<BR/><BR/>I'm also completely in touch with the reality that it is not easy to leave someone that you care truly and deeply about.<BR/><BR/>BUT<BR/><BR/>I'm also aware that you staying, silently co-signs the behavior and increases the chances that you will catch a beatdown encore.<BR/><BR/>BUT<BR/>If she leaves him, she can end up spending the rest of her "Chris-Brownless" life wondering if she made a mistake... And who wants to spend the rest of their lives thinking that? Especially if she never finds anyone that makes her "happier" than he does (or did)?<BR/><BR/><BR/>So what should she do?...<BR/><BR/>Flip a coin and stick with it, lol.L Phreschehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380571077979967590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-19297208145076702762009-02-25T23:20:00.000-05:002009-02-25T23:20:00.000-05:00My father always told me that if a man took to bea...My father always told me that if a man took to beating on me to poor hot lye down his ear in his sleep...he said liquid draino would do in a pinch but make it strong. There are stories about women in my family fighting back and fighting hard. Aunt Mary chasing her husband down the street with a frying pan, my father's mother was known to have ice picks hidden around the house in case her man got out of line...It was a ploy to teach us to protect ourselves, because for generations if a man beat a woman she put it with it because she was financially tied to him and there weren't allot of women living on their own with children and no husband..A.u.n.t.

Almost every black female friend I have has a story of what their grandmother or mother or auntie or some women in their family has told them if a man every tried to hit her. I remember even when I was little thinking....if a man every hit me, I would pour hot grits on him in his sleep or...well I knew I would do something. Even to this day the thought of a man thinking about hitting me elicits images of getting back at him. So I this runs pretty deep in my family and I am sure of many more. I mean I don't want to be an advocate of violence but a woman must protect herself...is all I am saying hehe.blaqgurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636683524895794261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-75641492428422372662009-02-22T11:44:00.000-05:002009-02-22T11:44:00.000-05:00well thought out - tho I don't really like Tyler P...well thought out - tho I don't really like Tyler Perry Movies.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510117003765695152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-7535321375015762562009-02-21T11:22:00.000-05:002009-02-21T11:22:00.000-05:00i thought about black actors in general dressing u...i thought about black actors in general dressing up like women after dave chapelle was talking about how some director tried to get him to dress up like a woman just for the hell of it. He said it was like a right of passage to have black actors/ comedians dress up like women in some way. Im paraphrasing but he said something to that effect. I didnt notice till he said it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769674709454024269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-82368419072666995772009-02-21T10:03:00.000-05:002009-02-21T10:03:00.000-05:00Hey Lady,Thank you for stopping by .Why is it expl...Hey Lady,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for stopping by .<BR/><BR/>Why is it exploitative?<BR/><BR/>Why do you think that this case will require a jury?Model Minorityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364810029145290617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-83827386613791082212009-02-20T10:51:00.000-05:002009-02-20T10:51:00.000-05:00it was very exploitative to release that photo, an...it was very exploitative to release that photo, and way to taint the jury poolmodest-goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349577841986972240noreply@blogger.com
