Your insight is helpful and I hope <BR/>that we can find opportunities to collabo<BR/>on crazy issues like this. <BR/><BR/>It makes me nutso to see how my students <BR/>puke-forth conversations they heard the <BR/>night before on College Hill, The Hills, <BR/>etc... They walk around campus like they<BR/>bein' followed by an invisible TMZ crew!<BR/><BR/>I'm doin' my best to listen to my students<BR/>and help them understand who controls the <BR/>images, sounds, and ideas that they consume<BR/>daily. Once they see that there are really<BR/>only 5 media corps that control all the media, <BR/>amusement parks, a grip of pro sports teams, <BR/>etc. They begin to discover who the real PIMPS<BR/>are--who continue to manipulate us ALL to be <BR/>they HOES. They spend billions of $ a year to <BR/>maintain their thrones of persuasion. <BR/><BR/>Chris Brown and Rhianna's saddening and deplorable incident is just some of the popular visuals we're digesting as a result of the vile concoctions the mass media moguls stir up about gender-race realtions and whatever other ingredients they want to sprinkle on us; to addict us to their brand loyalty at the cost of ANYBODY.<BR/><BR/>Peaceness, <BR/><BR/>BKBuilding Minds Multi-Media (BM3)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15932866287818249658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-84032722818602752009-02-16T22:55:00.000-05:002009-02-16T22:55:00.000-05:00@ NSJHow you been?If only everyone could have that...@ NSJ<BR/><BR/>How you been?<BR/><BR/>If only everyone could have that kind of collective brain freeze before rationalizing violence as the status quo instead of the aberration.<BR/>=====<BR/>Collective brain freeze is the business.Model Minorityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364810029145290617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-40242258486814470302009-02-16T20:41:00.000-05:002009-02-16T20:41:00.000-05:00J Not to generalize, but in my experience with wom...J <I>Not to generalize, but in my experience with women from the islands( my mom was from trinidad and my auNt is from Jamaica) women from the islands are a fiery bunch</I><BR/><BR/>Wow just wow.

Also highlighted is how unwilling people are to question their out of this world mindsets (Island women are fiery? So what? Fiery doesn't warrant a fist to the dome or an elbow to the neck.)<BR/><BR/>I think that's been the biggest, personal wake up call to me. Imagining a loved one (mother, father, brother, sister, partner) charging me with a clenched, enraged fist made me pause everytime I thought of Rihanna (or anyone else) facing down that kind of fury.<BR/><BR/>If only everyone could have that kind of collective brain freeze before rationalizing violence as the status quo instead of the aberration.MartiniCocoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509335664000215080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-47072007977763613972009-02-14T16:43:00.000-05:002009-02-14T16:43:00.000-05:00When the story first broke...something about the w...When the story first broke...something about the way the whole thing was parsed out to us made me suspicious. Almost like the media was building anticipation for a summer blockbuster or something. It will be a long time before the truth comes out and by then many will only believe what was first reported. Those same people will use the incomplete initial reporting to draw conclusions and lines in the sand. <BR/><BR/>I'm embarrassed. Rhi-Rhi and lil Chris had obscene amounts of talent. Until this very unfortunate incident, both had squeaky clean images. That is another reason why what happened has caused such an emotional response. To land safely from such dizzying heights is damn near impossible. How will she shake the role of 'victim' that the media will paint her as? What is the future career of an 'alleged' woman beater? I don't even want to talk about how race complicates the situation exponentially. At first I was thinking 'We gotta do better with Obama in office.' Now it's we just have to do better, period.SoSerioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128157746279459059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-49963503702757408202009-02-13T18:48:00.000-05:002009-02-13T18:48:00.000-05:00@ Hi J,Glad you could comment.Not to generalize, b...@ Hi J,<BR/>Glad you could comment.<BR/>Not to generalize, but in my experience with women from the islands( my mom was from trinidad and my auNt is from Jamaica) women from the islands are a fiery bunch.<BR/>=====<BR/>You say that they are fiery for what reason. Any BLACK woman who is alive has to have some fire in her to have persevered this far.<BR/><BR/>My issue has LESS to do with them AND MORE TO DO with how WE TOLERATE VIOLENCE in relationships.<BR/><BR/>@the lady<BR/>Thank you for stopping by and commenting.<BR/><BR/>a mutual friend was recently involved in gay male on male domestic violence.

This reminds me of <BR/>San Francisco's GAY Male Rape Awareness campaign. If it were NOT for that campaign I would have never thought about the issues around Gay men, rape, and its apparent pervasiveness in SF which brings me back to<BR/>the fact that, Violence is violence.<BR/>Regardless of who is doing the hitting.<BR/><BR/>My momma.<BR/>Popo.<BR/>Or My Partner.<BR/><BR/>Simple as that.

But realistically from what I've always seen and heard about chris brown, I can't really see dude fighting unless provoked. Even in Germany when he got into that fight he was being antaganized because of who he was. Not to generalize, but in my experience with women from the islands( my mom was from trinidad and my auNt is from Jamaica) women from the islands are a fiery bunch. If I'm sitting in a bentley coupe and rhinna started putting hands on me in the same manner a man might(||) I might have to defend myself or crash. Reallistically, who knows what happened.
