Basically, he must have gotten one selectively racist judge to just thread the needle and get away with beating a woman and being black.

Pretty amazing, we have racism when black men get tough sentences and when they get light sentences.
Racism! It's everywhere you want to see it.
It's not because the judge is racist, people just don't care about black women. When is the last time you heard about a missing black woman?

and get away with it.

I can think of quite a few entertainers that have hurt women. America doesn't really seem to care much.
Maybe for the same reason some Americans worship politicians who do nothing but lie to them?

Yes, that picture looks bad but didn't she get right back together with him? It seems she Rihanna herself didn't seem to mind all that much.

And someone brought up that rapist Bill Clinton who brutally raped Juanita Brodderick and Hillary herself went on the attack against the victim.

That's probably true, but I just can't think of any white musicians who assaulted their female partners.

On the other hand, Ike Turner was famous for beating the hell out of Tina.

Bobby Brown comes to mind too, and Miles Davis, James Brown and Fifty Cent.

I remember Sid Vicious was charged with second degree murder when Nancy Spungen was found stabbed to death, but two drug dealers had also been to the hotel room that night, and since Vicious died before the trial started, we will likely never know for sure who killed her.

And of course there is Phil Spector, but I'm not sure anyone would say he is really a musician.

Nah you don't worship Jerry, following the Grateful Dead from concert to concert and parking lot to parking lot, experiencing all things cannabis maybe shrooms.

Default White and Black issues.

Domestic violence is not a white or black issue.

There are many White men who beat their wives and get into fights at bars.

Why is it about race.

Previous posters have given examples of white guys who did it.

Always wondered how John Lennon became revered as such a lover of peace when he beat up women.

Phil Spector is one HELL of a musician.

Anyway, John Lennon, Eminem, Tracy Lawrence, Tommy Lee, Jackson Browne, Axl Rose, Ozzy Osbourne....all confirmed to have whipped ass on their mates.

But hey...let's ignore those gentlement because their pigment is a little pinkish.
