Chris Brown Fans Would Gladly Take A Beating In Exchange For A Kiss
Three years ago Chris Brown was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend Rihanna. Last weekend he made his return to center stage with a performance at the Grammy Awards. Brown’s performance at the Grammy’s has caused a debate over our society’s attitude toward domestic violence. The conversation has been highlighted by a group of Twitter users who said that they would gladly take a beating from Chris Brown if he would give them a kiss or sing them a song.
One user writes: Like I’ve said multiple times before, Chris Brown can beat me all he wants… I’d do anything to have him oh my.
Another writes: I don’t know why Rihanna complained. Chris Brown can beat me anytime he wants to.
Another writes: Dude, Chris Brown can punch me in the face all he wants to, just as long as he kisses it.

Several celebrities have also come out in support of Chris Brown saying that he has “reformed” and that he deserves a second chance. Sherri Shepherd said on “The View” that Brown could even serve as a role model.
What do you think of Chris Brown’s return to mainstream music? Does the singer deserve a second chance?
Louis Peitzman at Gawker is perplexed at the forgive and forget attitude that is prevalent in the media in regard to Chris Brown. Peitzman writes:
“We are under no obligation to forgive and forget — and frankly, the idea that any person can violently abuse someone else and maintain a thriving career in the entertainment industry is embarrassing. “
What do you think? Michael Vick lost big sponsors and a big NFL contract after his dog fighting arrest. He’s slowly worked himself back into the good graces of the NFL and certain sponsors, but he is still one of the most hated athletes in the world.
Do you think Chris Brown’s Grammy performance sent the wrong message to girls?

WTH! Chris Brown did his time via the court system and apologized and she forgave them. DONE! I would hope and pray that you are forgiven for whatever you have done to someone else too. The bottom line…GOD is the ONLY ONE THAT CAN JUDGE. Chris Brown has repented! Please leave him alone. Really! Please get a life. If you have ever done anything in your life and asked for forgiveness…whether it was granted or not…you still need to survive (money to pay for food, shelter and clothing). Life goes on. These are two separate issues people. Prayer is so needed to all of you that have an issue concerning forgiveness. Prayers go up and blessings come down…Please keep it moving forward!

Your comments, though well-intended, only further glorify physical abuse against women. Whether she forgave him or not is not the point – he still performed the act in the first place, and those who have experienced what Chris did to Rhianna are not so forgiving, and one can hardly blame them.
I haven't endured this, nor have I ever hit a woman, but I know people who have and when a man in the public eye is allowed to continue with his fame (mostly) intact after committing this crime, it sends a terrible message to women who endure or have endured this hardship.
You have no place to comment on whether he should be left alone until you have been through what Rhianna and countless other women the world over have endured.

You have NO IDEA what I have or haven't been through in life. It is not like I am agreeing that it is cool to beat a woman. However, I do feel he should earn a living. There are people that can and do agree to disagree. Unfortnately, I know for sure that this issue will not be going away…which is sad!

Visualize Rhiana's face when this happened bruised, lip parted, eye shut her face unrecongizable…as a society we have been taught that domestic violence is a vicious cycle where the abuser says he's sorry, and then does it again…Chris Brown has not shown humility or regret, if anything it has been the opposite, not until he shows he is truly regretful should we even consider his apology…as a society we need to enforce the message we give…to beat up another human being is not ACCEPTABLE no matter what…think about this…would you allow your daughter to date Chris Brown?

He lost his right to make a living playing music, (if that's what you call it) when he decided to be a thug and beat a woman and all the other things he gets up too. He deserves to be in jail. There is no forgiveness for an abuser. An abuser deserves to live in a cell. I don't care what you say, nothing will change my mind. An abuser, a child molester, an animal abuser are all the same kind of monster to me.
