If you go back and trace Disney’s ownership and productions you’ll find out that Disney is merely indoctrinating the kids with liberalism and socialism.

The sad thing is Rhianna probably won’t press charges because she has to “keep it real”. However in California, the DA will prosecute this d-bag even if she wont testify. Hopefully he gets some jail time. But in California it will probably be domestic violence courses. Jails are overcrowded, especially in Los Angeles County.
It is always odd in the hip hop community mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters are revered. However when it comes to their ladies they are treated like “hoes and bitches.” I guess that is why there is a high number of single mothers in urban communities. There is a disconnect, because every “hoe or bitch” is a mother, sister or daughter of someone else.
But I do like the hip hop term “shortie” in reference to women. I love that term.

californiascreaming,
Although I agree with your statement that there is a disturbing dichotomy in hip-hop music that celebrates some forms of womanhood but is disturbingly misogynist toward others, I didn’t understand you saying that “Rhianna probably won’t press charges because she has to “keep it real”
What does her not pressing charges have to do with “keeping it real”? If I’m not mistaken, the tendency of women to not press charges against their abuser is a distrubing behavior that crosses all class and racial lines, and is not a “hip-hop” thing. No matter how badly some (not all) women are abused, they tend to protect their abuser, and even make excuses for the abusive behavior (“he is under so much stress at work” “I shouldn’t have said what I said to him”, “He’s only like this when he drinks”, “He said he was sorry and that it won’t happen again”, “I deserved it because I provoked him”). I’ve heard it all….
Whatever young Chris Brown did was plain stupid and he’s going to take a bit hit financially and image-wise as a result of this incident. However, if Rhianna really wants to “keep it real” as you say, her relatives should whup his ass…..

JibberJabber, in many urban communities if you talk to the police for any reason you are a “SNITCH”. A “SNITCH” is the worst thing you can be called in inner cities. In prison “SNITCHES” are put in protective custody. This mindset then permeates into the street and culture. So “keeping it real” means dealing with your problems without bringing the “po-po” in. Many gang shootings are in retaliations of settling old scores. That is why some gang-bangers have no fear in committing crimes with people around, knowing people wont talk to police. I hope she does cooperate with police and shed light on victims. I hope she testifies, but I cant see that happening, unfortunately for career reasons. She will loose her “street cred”. No one should have to be abused and the abuser use his or her community to shield their behavior.

californiascreaming,
Unfortunately, you’re pretty accurate on your last post. This whole “Stop Snitching” culture is one of the most destructive things I’ve ever seen. It results in incidents such as the recent one in Liberty City section of Miami, where gunmen killed too Black teenagers and wounded seven others. However, even with all the people who were on the scene, no one “saw” anything and witnesses are being uncooperative with the police (you know it’s bad when even Rev. Sharpton calls you out!). That is absolutely ridiculous and will result in even more death and destruction, as we willingly allow stone cold killers to roam freely in our communities.
As far as the Chris Brown case, I just hope Rhianna chooses to “Keep it right” instead of “keep it real”….
