Call it what you want, but you've never been put in a position where a mistake that your truly sorry for and have repeatedly on your own publicly apologized for did nothing but generate even more Hatred towards you. THis happened close to 11 months ago, and people are still dragging him through the mud for it, when if it was one of them or you or I that did it, a few people in our family a couple friends would find about it, the few friends that forgive us we stay around, we go out make some new friends, and it gets forgiven and alot of the time forggoten.. But he did this, and the hatred as you put it does nothing but grow even more. ANd thats why his fans finally decided to step in and say ENOUGH!!!!!!!! THe boy plead guilty, when on a tour that donates the proceeds to the Jenessey center an organization for battered women's shelters, and best buddies a program founded in Florida that is dedicated to pairing mentally challenged adults with normal adult friends to keep them from living in a world of loneliness and doubt. So, let me ask uou something? Should he be sacrificed? Is that what you would like to see? Have you ever had to deal with this much hatred, and this much attention on a scale so big? Have your Honest attempts to get help, to emerge better, and rehabilitate been overshadowed and underplayed by the media and there refusal to let this go because they need a good story! No they haven't hun! ANd you can't judge someone based on "How You Claim They Sound" That kid was sick of talking about this shit before his first interview ever even took place. And as far as blackballing is concerned R Kelly molested more than one girl under the age of 18, and his album went platinum the month it was released that year. 50 Cent, use to sell Heroine everywhere to fiends who shoot up, and aid them in destroying there lives, he went multiplatinum his first month. And JayZ was caught on Video backhanding and close fist beating the shit out of a well known female singer, and look at him.. Where is he at in the record industry.. He's a Fuckin Billionare. a feat that many musicians never climb to.. He owns the New York Knicks, and over half of Def Jam, and the contracts of many artists. So, did any of them go to domestic violence counseling?? DId any of them apologize?? Where's there money for Women's battered shelters.. The fact is honey this shit happens every fuckin day, from both woman on man, and man on woman.. And Chris had such a squeeky clean record that the media new his story would make Billions!!
