It’s not wrong for the Muslims, so why is it wrong for everyone else? Any culture is as good as any other (or at least that is what my daughter says when she comes back from school in her mandated burka)!

She is seriously demented and needs help. Her boyfriend needs death.

If that makes me a neanderthal chauvinist, I will be proud to add that moniker to my collection.

It makes you a gentleman, and a good guy.

She’s also very sick! I’m sorry for her, but it will end badly. I know this from a family experience. There are women like that, who knows why? So I just call it sick.

While I will not “beat a woman up”, if a woman seriously hits me with a closed fist, she’s goin’ down hard same as a man.

My dad taught me that a gentleman NEVER strikes a lady.

However, a female who strikes a man without very good reason is not a lady. She’s a broad.

If Justin Timberlake had beaten up Britney Spears, would the luminaries in the "white" musical community be equivocating and making excuses for him?

The pernicious idea that this urban black cultural norm shouldn't be condemned because doing so exposes the black community's "dirty laundry" to criticism from white journalists is what's wrong here, and the real reason for the strange statements from celebrities.

I fear that — although Timberlake would probably be condemned in such a scenario, it would be under the umbrella of declaring open season for country-type folks — charges of “what do you expect from white trash?” rather than keeping it confined to how the tragedy of domestic violence befalls all types

And herein lies the problem of a society that embraces a martyr mentality for women. You are more celebrated when you throw yourself under the bus on someone else’s behalf than when you get up and walk away. You’re supposed to be sweet and nice and a complete doormat; if you’re not, you’re a castrating bizatch because you don’t roll over and play dead. I see girls fall for the “but my love will chaaaange him!” line ever day. Hence, the frequency of domestic disputes on Cops.

As a side note, I have made it perfectly clear to anyone I’ve dated that they’d better kill me the first time: if they don’t, I will find them. It will not be pretty. On the off chance that they do succeed in killing me, I have a small army of very large, very strong male friends/family members that will finish them off on my behalf. It seems to have worked thus far.

I haven’t followed this that much but last I heard most black celebs hate Chris Brown.

Jay-Z and Kayne have both basically said they would kick the s*** out of him if they saw him on the street.

That said I grew in a poor, mostly white area of Louisiana (I’m neither) and I saw way too many women who were willing to go back to their husbands/boyfriends after they beat them. That’s a serious problem too.

It did happen in my family once, my aunt was hit around a bit by her 2nd husband and my dad (her brother in law) and her son (on leave from the navy) went to go see him. I was out of state in college at the time but I came down a week later and by then my aunt’s husbands black eye was just starting to clear up.
