I don't got my head stuck up Rihanna's ass, but the fact is Chris Brown is not the first artist and not the last artist to supposedly be "blackballed" by the market. Retailers have the option of who they want to stock or not. The only difference between him and other artists that this has happened to is the fact that they aren't bitching on twitter. In fact, there were also a few Rihanna fans that said they couldn't find her album and I'm sure it happens to some rape artist and I'm sure it's happened to Michael Jackson after his fiasco. Chris Brown is a celebrity and he's been in the industry long enough to know how it works. Give me a fucking break. I was a Chris Brown fan prior to the incident and he might gain me back as one if would go about regaining his image in a very different manner. I'm sorry but he beat his girlfriend and now it sees as if he feels like the world owes him. People forgive and forget. People have given artists second chances. A lot of celebrities have been involved in DV cases, but one of the major incidents with this couple is the fact that people witnessed it first hand and saw the picture of Rihanna plastered all over television. It's easier for a person to forgive and forget when it's subconscious, but the fact that we witnessed this first hand makes it that more complicated. It's hard for me to erase that picture out of my head. therefore, it'll be hard for me to support someone that did that. It'll be easier for me to forgive him if he were to go away for a while. It'd be easier for me to forgive him if his whole team wasn't bashing her and he wasn't subliminally. He just doesn't come off as genuine and sincere in his apology and I really don't think he has progressed as far as he wants people to think he has. Everything happens for a reason and maybe this is God's way of punishing Chris or maybe this is just a sign.
