The selective memory of Rihanna's attacker, Chris Brown: "I'm sorry for what I did, whatever it is"
“Whatever” means sorry



Thanks to Erica C for sending this along – an article written by LZ Anderson for CNN Opinion about Chris Brown who is going on tour next month as a “fan appreciation” gesture and has just released a new video, conveniently around the same time as Rihanna. He’s also dropping hints to her on his Twitter about missing her, wishing things could be like they were before. Piece of sh-t motherf-cker.

The point all along, much more articulately presented by Anderson, is that there has been no Contrition. I might be a cynical bitch but that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in hope for change. Change is possible. And forgiveness is possible. But not here, not for him.

Not when this is how he expresses his regret (in Rolling Stone):

"At the end of the day, I'm sorry for what I did, whatever it is."

WHATEVER?

WHAT.
EVER????????

Whatever is taking a fist to her face over and over again, trying to suffocate her, biting her, bashing her head against the window. This is Whatever.

But for Chris Brown and a generation of losers being raised by losers, Whatever means Sorry.

And his tour will sell out, and his records will play, and People Magazine will run an airy fairy puff piece, and everyone will forget.

Do not forget. Please do not forget.

1. That is NOT the same as taking responsibility.
Try again.

2. Yeah, that's one hell of an apology.
WRONG ANSWER ASSHOLE!

We'll file that in the "mistakes were made" folder, along with 8 years of BushCo. Yes, it is a huge folder.

3. What a pathetic apology
Whatever it is? WTF? You beat the crap out of the woman and you state "whatever it is"???

How about I get about 10 guys together & beat you to a bloody pulp and then piss on the open wounds... and, when you're screaming "why", I'll say, "whatever is it that you're screaming about?"

4. That's typical language
from abusers, criminals, etc. It looks like an apology on the surface but he isn't taking responsibility for what he did.
:eyes:

5. He's still playing the "victim"...
...because even though he bit and punched her and turned her face into one big pool of blood, he lost that endorsement deal from Doublemint gum.

This fucker should have had a job in the Bush administration...he would have fit right in.

8. oh I'm sure he'll NEVER do it again
Abusers never do after all, no doubt it was a one time thing.
