Our Role Models

I'm piss poor at this blogging thing. I never get on here in a timely manner, so excuse that, but this Chris Brown/Rihanna thing had me thinking....

So, beating your wife, girl, teenage daughter, all no nos in this society, i understand. But here comes the group of his "peers" speaking out. And here is my problem.

1st this guy: Jay Z When the hell, excuse me, did we start listen for MORAL advice from drug dealers. See, I do understand that in the world of Hip Hop some people exaggerate the truth, we'll say, to create an image. See this guy. And Hey! I'm all for posturing, falsifying and hyperbole, but damn, pardon me! I have never heard any rebuttals from the "streets" about his past, which leaves me to believe him more than most. So, now we are to say, hey jay z is a the moral center of our urban music universe, we should heed his advice. I think I'd rather listen to this guy. At least for an unabashedly reformed drug dealer he said that its not good, but Chris isn't the villain. Or something like that, because the media had him retract every word.

Now, this was going to be it, until I went to one of the seedy gossip sites I am addicted to, mediatakeout, and see this crazy thing talking. Whitney Houston, who's advice is not bad, still is not really one I'd listen to. Yes, yes, crack is wack, but isn't this one a, uh, "wack"head. Or a least a pharmaceutical abuser. Lawd! Is this all we have to speak out on this situation? Sad day.

Next thing you know Tyler Perry as Medea is going to speak out, "Ya shoulda been packin ya heat!
