Where's the Outrage?

Apparently these two clowns Fist Chris Brown and Drake went at it in a nightclub last weekend or something like that.  Seems that Chris Brown sent Drake a bottle of champagne, Drake decided to send back a note reminding Chris that he (like the rest of Hollywood) is still screwing Rihanna and that's when ish went left.

Actually, no.  The whole damn thing started off wayyyy left.

First of all, you have two spoiled, entitled, thugs award winning artists who are dealing with the same woman on some level, one of whom is still on probation because he beat the living crap out of her.  The other who is more sensitive than the skin in his own pants.  Anyway, these clowns first missed the fact that they are not special, everyone in the industry has done, is doing, will do Rihanna at some point.  This is not a secret.  Drake even tweeted about it. So to start off, they're really fighting about nothing.  Trash.

But if they like it, I love it.  Anyway, the whole thing turns into a melee, bottles are thrown, pictures of stitches are being Tweeted and Instagram'd all over the place and...Tony Parker is suing the club for $20 million?

Wha...?

Doesn't all this sound ridiculous and stupid to you?  Why is this always black people?  Why can't we be out in large numbers at a club and have a fun night without a bunch of drama popping off?  This is why we can't have nice places to party because we always want to fight about something,or in this case, nothing.  When is the last time you even heard of two white celebrities publicly fighting over a woman?  When is the last time a white club had to get shut down because there was too much fighting?  Sure it happens, but look at how much more often it's us doing this stupid sh*&.  Then those of us who actually know how to act in public get turned away from certain bars and clubs because they look at us and see how stupid these and other clowns before us acted.

Really?

We get mad as soon as someone points out how stupid we look or act and people want to get mad at white journalists who call Drake or Chris Brown "thugs".  Their behavior that night was petty, childish, and yes, thuggish whether someone white is saying it or not.  Be mad all you want, but it's the truth.  Both of them AND the thugs they were clubbin' with that night exhibited thuggish behavior and that's what they should have been called, I don't care how many records they've sold.

What else is sad about this is how they've handled things since, with Drake's camp saying they won't cooperate with the police because they don't "snitch".  Then on the other end, Chris Brown cooperating fully with the police because he's on probation for beating the hell out of the slut they've been fighting over.

This whole picture is all messed up here.

But this, yet again, is black on black violence at its pettiest and yet, there's no outrage from the black community at the fact that these celebrities are, yet again, not only a poor representation of the best of us, but a poor influence as well.  No outrage that, yet again, another black celebrity is setting a bad example and making us look like a bunch of gang banging thugs.  No outrage at the fact that these are the people that we're allowing to influence our children.

Have we desensitized ourselves to that point?  We couldn't really be that deeply in denial, could we?

We get outraged when white people kill us, like George Zimmerman, but how come we don't get outraged when we kill each other?  People like George Zimmerman aren't the ones shooting young black men on street corners, THEY ARE KILLING EACH OTHER!  We don't need help from murderers like Zimmerman, we're doing just fine destroying ourselves, thank you very much.  How come we can turn on the TV and sit and watch story after story about how one unidentified black male is dead after being gunned down by another unidentified black male but we don't blink an eye?  I haven't heard about a single march in Chicago this year, where forty and fifty people have been getting shot in SINGLE WEEKENDS.  Where's our outrage at that number?

There are some broken things in our community that need to be fixed.  We should be outraged with ourselves that we've allowed it to go on for this long and we need to start being outraged at anything that sets out to destroy our community.  We need to stop standing in our own way and stand in the way of the destructive forces that we've allowed to reign for far too long.  Even if the problem is us.
