Breh.....stop with this.
Replace Chris Brown with Justin Timberlake, and replace Rihanna with Britney Spears. Take it back to the days when they were together, they were young America's favorite celeb couple and Britney was still well-loved and was still considered attractive.
Keep just about everything else the same: the injuries that Rihanna got, the leaked photo of her after she got beat up that made the rounds in the media, the bytch-ass behavior that Chris exhibited after his so-called 'heartfelt' apology, etc.....
You honestly think Justin wouldn't have gotten it bad from the public as well?
As for why other dudes didn't get as bad of a reaction as Chris Brown, there are several reasons for that, which have nothing to do with race. Were they as famous as Chris at the time? Did they have a good-guy/squeaky-clean image like Chris did, which made the incident of abuse seem more scandalous? Were their victims famous women with millions of fans? Was there a widely-circulated image of their victim's injuries, indicating just how badly the victim was beaten? Did they act as if it should be against the law to bring up an incident of abuse, just because it happened years ago? Did they HELP in bringing the incident back up by responding with a temper tantrum whenever someone inevitably brought it up
.as opposed to giving a respectable response like "yes, it happened, but I've changed my ways and moved on"
.or not responding at all?
But nawwww
they pickin' on him because he's black
