My problem with people wanting other Black men to call for a boycott on Chris is where the fuck was the call to boycott Ryan O'Neil from being on Bones? Surely it's not okay he beat Farrah's ass, is it? Threatened his own kid with a gun? And what about Alec Baldwin? Why does he get to be on a top rated show and no white wimmens is screaming about his abusive, psycho voice message to his child?
Let's not pretend that the standard for Black men is much different even when they are wrong, because how many rock/pop stars have beat their women to shit and people let it slide after a day or two? Plenty.
