Chris Brown is (still) scum

Radar Online reports that R&B star Chris Brown has again been caught hurling “homophobic slurs.” Ugh. Someone make him go away. I have never found anything compelling about Chris. Yes, he can sing and dance. So what? Many people can sing and dance, but they don’t beat the shit out of their girlfriends.

I believe in redemption and second chances. I believe people can change. I do not believe Chris Brown has, so I do not support him as an artist. I don’t buy his records. I don’t even illegally download them. I don’t want anything to do with some rich, famous asshole who has his head so far up his own ass that he doesn’t have any concern, respect or compassion for anyone but himself.

Reportedly, Chris became enraged during a friendly basketball game at an LA Fitness club. Witnesses say that they overheard him say, “You’re a faggot” and “That’s a gay move” to other players. This comes after two other anti-gay outbursts, one of which happened in June, when he became enraged because he thought the paparazzi had alerted a parking attendant about his illegally parked car. He turned to them and yelled, “Y’all niggers is weak. Did you call them and try to film me? Y’all niggers is gay.”

In December 2010, he came under fire for a Twitter feud, during which he called ex-B2K member Raz-B a “homothug.”

After the incident, he tweeted, “I’m not homophobic! He’s just disrespectful!!!”

He is disrespectful? Umm, the pot calling the kettle black, much?
