Chris Brown Slams Jay-Z Over Rihanna


Chris Brown covering Jet 

R&B singer Chris Brown, 24, did an interview with Jet Magazine, where he let rip regarding rapper and rival Jay-Z, 44, regarding Rihanna, 25. Over the past few years, several blogs have posted photos and reports, regarding married Jay-Z having romantic dinners with singer and mistress, Rihanna, as well as going into hotels with her, in a relationship that began when she was 16-years-old.


Chris Brown to Rihanna: tell Joe Camel Jay-Z to shut up and stay out of my business!

Jay-Z has been jealous over Brown's relationship with his protégé Rihanna and became angry over the highly publicized fight between the two in 2009. From that moment on, Jay-Z began trying to sabotage Brown's career in deeds witnessed by people in the entertainment industry.


Jay-Z beating up a woman backstage at a concert

Brown stated to Jet, "No disrespect, because I’m a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that [Jay Z] stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass." It does have the appearance of a double standard, especially when one considers the fact Jay-Z was filmed hitting a woman backstage, not realizing the lens was on him.

Black Florida Woman Given 20-Years In Spite Of Stand Your Ground Law



Marissa Alexander 

This is a follow up to the April 23, 2012 article "Stand Your Ground Double Standard Leaves Black Woman Jailed In Domestic Violence Case." Yesterday, African-American, Marissa Alexander, was unjustly sentenced to 20-years in prison. It reveals the disparities in the legal system.

Alexander's husband outright threatened to kill her in their home, prompting her to fire off a single shot in self-defense, which hit the wall and no one was hurt, yet she has been sentenced to two decades in prison. Whereas, half white, George Zimmerman, was initially given a free pass for stalking and murdering 17-year-old minor, Trayvon Martin, without provocation. 

It took massive protests to even get Zimmerman arrested, only for a judge to grant him bail, regarding a case that has many wondering if there will be justice for Martin, who wasn't bothering anyone, yet was unjustly and unnecessarily killed for racist reasons.

Stand Your Ground Double Standard Leaves Black Woman Jailed In Domestic Violence Case



Marissa Alexander

Mother of three, Marissa Alexander, could spend the next 20-years in prison, for defending herself during a domestic violence dispute, where her husband assaulted and threatened to kill her. Alexander alleges her husband lunged at her during an argument in their home, pinning her against the wall, while attacking her for trying to leave him. She states she pulled out her gun in self-defense and shot at the wall once. No one was shot during the incident.

He ran outside, contacted the police and told them Alexander shot at him and his two sons from another relationship. Alexander now faces two decades in prison on three counts of "aggravated assault with no intent to harm" and was denied bail or permission to use "Stand Your Ground" as a legal defense. 

George Zimmerman murders underage teen Trayvon Martin on a public street, enrages the nation and the world, yet quickly receives bail. What is wrong with this picture. There is something wrong with the justice system. It is protecting the criminals. Too many cases are showing it is corrupt and biased.
