We all know what we say reflects how
others view us as individuals as well as our character. Even the slightest mix
up of a word can turn a whole crowd against you. Especially when dealing with
sensitive subjects, one must analyze the audience and anticipate any negative
outcomes. Sometimes we cannot affect what the outcome will be, depending on the
issue. In other cases, it’s just using your head to know when to zip it.
Domestic violence is one issue that is not
taken lightly in our nation. Following the Grammys Sunday,
Brown’s two performances and one win have received significant criticism on
social networks. The audience felt as though his actions were overlooked, and
their pathological appeal to domestic violence victims such as his ex
girlfriend had viewers heated.
Perhaps if he had shown more consideration to
the public reaction, things would have flown more smoothly. However, being the
most hated man on Twitter caused him to slip up and dig himself in an even
deeper hole. We must always control our emotions, for all logic goes out the
window when we are provoked. This is exactly what happened with Chris Brown as
he responded back this week with his own vitriolic tweet: “Hate all u want
becuz I got a grammy Now! That's the ultimate F--- off," the singer posted to his own Twitter account.
I’d say that is probably the worst way to
handle a situation. It shows levels of high immaturity, recklessness, and
inconsideration. Either Brown or his handlers also thought the same, for the
tweet was deleted soon after. Not soon enough though. It reminds me of my first
grade year when my teacher told us words are like a tube of toothpaste; once
you squeeze the contents out, you can’t get them back in. Maybe Chris needs to
hop back a couple decades to learn these values.
I wrote about Chris Brown as well in my blog, but we held different takes on his "after the grammy" performance. I think Chris Brown started so young in the industry that he never really had a chance to truly grow up nor rationalize his actions or words. While I don't think this is an excuse for him, I do believe that he is basically a lost cause. What is important is that other's don't follow his influence as well as justify that he is a reasonable guy. While twitter spoke volumes about Chris Brown, many were angered by him, and most of the tweets I came across had a disgusting amount or appreciation for him. In the end, it's all how the audience or fans of him understand what's appropriate from what's not, and to not follow the recklessness that has become Chris Brown.
