Rihanna Emerges
With her head down and wearing sunglasses, Rihanna was spotted on her way to an airport in the L.A. area on Thursday -- the night before her 21st birthday.

31. rihanna's camp probably released the photo yesterday....here is my reasoning...she was going to be in the public eye today, to fly somewhere, and the brusing looks like it went way...so the camp need people to see how she was...they needed the public's perception that she was beat down....and not the latter..just my 2 cents....

33. Guess she aint "keeping its real" having a couple white guys as drivers and body guards-----guess when one truly seeks comfort they turn to somehting/someone white. Sad, but true. Black men are brought up to be cruel to their women---its now a right of passage for black youth to be insulting to little black girls, who then grow up thinking thats how its supposed to be and how they are to be treated. Thanks Chris for keeping the stereotype apparently not a stereotype but a reality.
Why is Sharpton and Jackson and Obama not making this a priority? Fatherless children growing up repeating the same cruelty to women and on and on...Entertainers not calling it out and some even glorifying it in song and film....Sports Stars out doing it themselves...Barkleys of the world treating women simply as sexual objects and being praised to return to TNT this week.
Guess what? We aint gonna take it nor pay for it much longer. The Economic crisis is putting PC back where it belongs and waking up people who do pay their bills and also dont beat their women.....
Clean it up Black people---White people do it too, but its so rampant in your culture its all your own now.
Here's a guy who has fame, fortune, access to anything, yet he still beats his woman----it isnt economics afterall---its a learned behaviour as a child...check Browns upbringing for clues.
No comments please...comment on the story not my comments.

35. Battered women, regardless of the degree of abuse suffer severe and traumatic stress. Women are strong, they love their children and men with their strength. This is a good thing, until the women's strength enables her to become a victim of the repeated cycle of abuse. RiRi is young, and women forget pain (or else we couldn't have children), but retain their feelings of love and devotion to guide them. RiRi please support CBrown's prosecution, realize that Michael Vic has served prison time for the injuries he caused to dogs. You are a gorgeous talented young intellegent woman, CBrown isn't your forever -- not yet -- and especially not after this -- you and he are over!! Even though it is best for you, breaking apart is hard especially when a relationship is laced with dysfunctions. Give yourself a chance baby -- heal and move on from him. Remember DONOT throw your pearls before swine, you cannot ever make that situation work.

38. John, #20---I totally agree and was thinking that same thing. Was a brilliant move on their part. Would have hurt her if they didn't do it.

43. i think it was wrong at what chris brown did but that dont give the right for rihanna family to say bad things about chris or terrorize him i bet she started the fight but she needs to come out and say something because in my city they are saying bad suft about her so at this point my city feels bad for her but they dont like her because chris is getting the bad publicity and she is getting the good and thats not fair
