Well, I am sure many have heard the beating of singer/actress Rihanna by the singer/actor Chris Brown. It has had a lot of coverage on the entertainment venues of TV. A lot of other celebrities have spoken out on the actions of Brown.
I think this whole incident is coming on during such ugly times. I think since it is the Black History Month, the celebration of the feats of amazing Afro-Americans achievement. Then we see a young black man beat another young black woman. Or maybe the fact that we just elected our first black president. A man of prestige, poise, and intellect. Yet, our society will only brand such an event amoung the elite as a thought of not actually moving on to the upper world of class. Though they have the money and fame, they just don't quite 'fit' with the refinement of 'White' class.
I think, sadly, Brown will lose all fame. I think our society isn't tolerant of such actions. Especially when a race is becoming elite in our society. There is no room for mistakes anymore, at least not for a rising elite class. I don't even think any form of PR can save his career. It will probably soften the fall, but not save it.
It is truly too bad that such young people would re-enact such violence among each other. I guess even the elite will fall. Yet their fall is much longer and farther down.

I agree that it is sad what happened but I don't think that the public is going to kick him to the curb and give up on him. There have been many celebs that have messed up take for example Britney Spears, and have come back into the spot light. No not everyone loves her but she does have a following again. I think that you will see Chris Brown spin out of this. All it takes is an amazing PR campaign. Have him do community service. Shed some good light back on him. Trust me he can pull out of this one.
