Unemployed negros will always find a way to give you advice on how to 'Keep it Real' and end up unemployed like that.

The same dudes in here talking bout he shouldn't have apologized are the same ones who says 'How High' if their boss walks in at their job and says jump.

If you dont think you will be forced to do some shyt you may not agree with in the corporate world .. and u think thats called selling out. Why even get a job?

Just go the dame dash route and go independent that you can be ur boss in life.

the bolded is problematic breh. if you feel provoked by a woman you should leave the woman/situation immediately. there is no justification for male on female domestic violence, NONE.
My real father was an abusive husband/father, and there is a lot of elements that go into why women stay in those situations. she needs counseling, and RRice needs to go to counseling also.

No, there is no justification for domestic violence, period. This notion that men have to maintain their composure during domestic disputes while women are free to fly off the handle is potentially dangerous to all parties involved and inherently sexist. Despite our advantage in raw physical strength, we are no more naturally capable of regulating our emotions than women are; all evidence to the contrary is the result of socialization. Women are taught to believe that they are more emotional and behave as such. The only way to achieve the gender equality that feminists claim to fight for is to stop treating women like they are tall children.

im going to be completely honest. i have been a victim of female on male DV. THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR IT, and men have almost zero resources for dealing with it. My situation went to the point where i got hit in the head with a hammer and had to call the law.
before that, i had gotten beaten with a pipe and left unconcsious. as a man, i felt i had nowhere to turn to, i had my own real father making fun of me calling me al green. i slipped into a deep depression. finally i called the law after the aforementioned situation. she got counseling and a year probation.

so when i say that the provoked argument is bullshyt, its because there have been 100's of times that i have been provoked. and honestly if i had reacted violently, i might not still be going through that shyt. BUT, i know that if i hit her, i am not a man. thats why i say there is no excuse.

While I am sorry that you had to go through such an ordeal, why does being complicit (at least for a time) in your own domestic battery make you more of a man? After reading about your father's reaction to your situation, your attitudes on this topic make more sense.

fam he apologized because some dumb white chick misinterpreted what he said or because she was trolling
first off she shoulda hollered at him in private if she really felt a way, second, he shoulda just again clarified what he was saying
he apologized for something he didnt say

This Beadle shyt is starting to annoy me.

And way too many "captains" going to bat for her.

This whole thing is overblown, because what he has said is essentially the truth.

Made much worse by pudgy white male media types :cape:over her




these days everything is a weird caricature of actual real scandals

No offense breh but your just as foolish as women who stay in relationships where they get abused regularly. Fact of the matter is no one should be putting their hands on anybody in a violent manner regardless of gender. The notion that cats are somehow less of a man for putting hands on a women is way too short sighted and completely leaves out the context of the situation.

Onto the issue as a whole since I haven't said shyt on it. I believe when it comes to discussion on domestic violence, women have this one scenario in their head and regardless of any types of facts this one scenario trumps all reason or logic. The scenario in which a submissive sheepish and helpless women is caught in an abusive relationship with a violent man. Now does this happen? Yes it does, there are monsters out there but to act like this is the norm or the majority of domestic violence cases is ridiculous.

Who am I telling to hit women? I haven't and wont advise anyone to hit a woman. There are too many consequences that come with it. I told u how I handle myself, I'm not pretending to be something I'm not. Im not in here actin like Im swingin on bishes with no fear of consequences. I'm merely saying that I don't believe in this You should never hit a woman bullsh1t. I have experienced circumstances where I could find justification. I've seen or heard of situations where I could find justification in another's actions. I just dont believe that a woman can't provoke an azz whoopin. I thought I was clear. I wqs defending Stephen's statements on Fri. As far as Ray Rice goes, u seem to be one of those You should never hit a woman n1ggaz. Im like, what did she do to him, its more to the story kinda n1gga. I will never agree with your position and u will never agree with mine :yeshrug:

To add, I have a woman in my fam who got beat by a spouse yrs ago. I was heated, till I found out the reason. Then my anger quickly went away. She deserved that sh1t. Wasnt nothing that hurt her seriously. She got over it:ehh And she still with the dude. Who am I to judge other people's relationships from afar? Sometimes females need to get punched to realize the line they crossed.

That double standard is the exact problem. NEITHER party should put hands on the other one. fukk how society views it. Society has been wrong plenty of times. For him to get attacked so fervently over saying let's not judge the situation until we learned exactly what happened from both parties is ridiculous. No man should have to sit their and take physical violence just because he's a man. Women need to keep their hands to themselves as well.

I've had two females try to get violent with me. One was living with me and I just jumped in my car and drove away until I cooled down. The other I snatched up by her neck just as a pure reaction and chilled a second later and put her down before it turned ugly. In the heat of the moment sometimes you react without thinking. Especially if somebody is hitting you man or woman.

It seems people are on the tip of the man is wrong regardless and acting like those disagreeing are saying that the man is never wrong. No. I have yet to see somebody say that they are cool with a dude just beating a women's ass cause her clothes are too revealing or no shyt like that. But if a woman is punching a man or spitting on him or doing some crazy shyt then I have absolutely no sympathy for what she gets back in return.

All I asked you was to provide YOUR experience in telling cats how to carry themselves like you did. No one can do a better job of telling their own experience than that person himself. Yet you rather speak on the reckless experiences of others than your own who claims to carry himself properly ok never hitting a woman.

the issue was bigger than michelle beadle ... his colleagues, rivals, tons of high profile blogs and media outlets were coming for his neck. Those things get the attention of advertisers. Which can hurt espn ... which can jeopardize his job
