Obviously Brown has the grief expressed like a Tasmanian Devil...
Whites have treated him like a spoiled child... and he EXPECTS IT...

his presence was probably upsetting the people near him who blame him for her death, thus why he was asked to move several times and no one else.

I just got home from a business trip to Carlsbad, NM. My connecting flight was delayed 3 hours at Phoenix.

You have been to Hell when you have to sit in an air terminal for 3 freaking hours and every channel is On the Clinton News Network at volume 11, during a Baptist funeral for a dope fiend from Jersey.

Seriesly, what was this funeral all day?

I finally went to the Southwest ticket / boarding agent and ranted that this airport is partially funded with US taxpayer dollars and that I strongly object to a religious service being forced on me in a federal facility!

Guess how much they cared? Guess how many TSA bootlickers were crowded around the TV monitors bawling and glaring at whitey?

I finally got home, put an old rusty bucket on the ground and filled it full of .40 cal holes. That was costly but I feel a little better.

I wonder what his relationship is with their daughter.. I’d think the daughter would want her dad to be sitting with her.

I’m kinda disappointed that Fred Phelps and his band of psychotics didn’t show up.

25 years on people will remember where they were when they learned of Whitney’s passing, just like our grandparents remembered where they were when they learned of JFK’s death.

In defense of Bobby Brown
By: Me

Having been no real fan of either Bobby Brown or Whitney Houston (they both made decent music, but that’s it), I have been experiencing my normal state of frustration at America’s faux indignation at the latest so called ‘tragedy’.

What should be a time for self reflection has once again transformed into a mass-media spectacle. In the US of A, we have no official royalty, so royalty is created for us by a fawning media and people seeking to immunize themselves to the reality and consequence of real life.

In several interviews and media reports of the time Houston was said (and admitted) to having her own ‘issues’ prior to the ‘onset’ of Bobby Brown - a then 18 man who she herself pursued.

A quick search will reveal that Brown was notorious for his on and off-stage antics and so it should come as no shock that as ‘American Royalty’ he played and lived fully up to his image.

When Brown AND Houston paraded around the world with their respective ‘posses’ at their height, they were feted and celebrated FOR those ‘posses’. It was a status symbol of their great and mighty ‘celebrity’. Why is it that now, when the media is looking to create a villian to blame for the fairy tale downfall of their created Cinderella, that the ‘posee’ is now suddenly a bad thing? Why is it that Brown has gone from Prince Valiant to ‘Prince Valium’?

He is what he always was. And so was Houston. Too bad it happened, but our disgust should be aimed at the media that promoted the whole scenario to begin with. Nor Brown, or even Houston.

Because in a couple months, the whole process will just repeat...and millions among us will once again play Charlie Brown to Lucy’s football. We just don’t profit from it.

I’ve been pretty cynical about all of this.....but I must admit....watching Kevin Costner’s touching tribute at her funeral even got my eyes blurry.
