Chris Brown’s Mother is ‘Proud’ of Him

I really wanted to give this post the headline: ‘Are You F*cking Kidding Me’ but thought better of it.
I am not a mother. I don’t know that I have to be one to understand the concept of unconditional love. I feel it for my husband and my family (and of course my dogs). But to say you are ‘proud’ when your son has been convicted of assault is, in my opinion, just shy of insanity.
Sometimes I think it isn’t men that hold women back a few hundred years but that it’s other women. Women like Chris Brown’s mother who set the bar real low. When you set the bar low, you will never be disappointed. And hey, you just may be proud of your woman beating son.
Chris Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins has remained silent over her son’s arrest because the case was ongoing. Now that the sentence was handed down she wrote this on his site. I went to his site, but couldn’t find it and did not want to spend any time on there:
“I just want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for your continued support. I’m sorry I wasn’t allowed to speak to anyone as this case was on going. I can now say this has been the most painful moment in my entire life, but knowing that you were still standing by Chris’ side in his time of need made this a little easier for us.
Because of all your prayers God brought him through. I just want to say God has never failed me and never will. All moms and dads please stand by your children and pray for their goodness each and everyday.”
“I made a promise… I would never be ashamed of him no matter where I am or who I talk to. You see this whole thing isn’t about Chris, it’s about God. He wants to show all of you the goodness of him through Chris. Chris will be addressing all of his fans very soon. We love you so much and so does God.”
This isn’t about Chris, but about God? I don’t think God was behind the beating Rihanna took.
Even though she says it’s been painful, she says nothing of being disappointed by his behaviour (enter unconditional love). So I ask you, mothers (and fathers) out there, tell me, would you still be proud if your son (or daughter) was guilty of physical assault on another?

… It was a lame judicial system that “brought him through”.
