In
class we discussed how women that are in abusive relationships are the ones
that get blamed for the behavior. When in all reality it’s not their fault at
all. The abuser is getting looked at as a victim in many cases. In the most
famous case of Chris Brown and Rihanna, many people blamed Rihanna for what
happened between them. Even though Rihanna was blamed for giving Chris Brown a
STD it gave him no excuse to physically harm her. No women ever deserves for
that to happen to them.
After
this whole situation took place, Rihanna was looked down upon for going back
with Chris Brown. People do not realize how hard it is for women in abusive
relationships and the toll it takes on them, physically and mentally. So,
people do not fully understand why it was so hard for her to get out of that
relationship.
Also,
we discussed how African American music artists would write empowering songs
instead of selling their bodies through their lyrics like they do today. In Queen
Latifah’s video she is empowering people and not using any degrading lyrics. She
is telling women to stand up for themselves unlike today where women use their
bodies for sex.
