Need A Date? How About 30 In One Night?
Marian Wright Edelman: Still Hungry in America
Despite thousands of Americans shopping at Walmart this holiday season, one thing's for sure, don't expect Chris Brown to make any purchases at the retail outlet.The 20-year-old pop star had threw a mini temper tantrum via Twitter over the weekend discovering that his newly released album, 'Graffiti' wasn't on shelves at a local Connecticut Walmart.
Brown vented his frustration writing [tweeting]: "But they had Alicia Keys album ready for release for this Tuesday. BUT NO SIGN OF GRAFFITI. BS."
That wasn't the end of the 'Run It' singer's tirade. He went on stating that he's "tired of this s----. Major stores r blackballing my CD. Not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. What the f--- do I gotta do. The industry can kiss my a--."
Brown's bold remarks didn't go unnoticed either; according to People magazinechris bro, Walmart has released a statement on Monday in response to his comments.
"We are surprised at the comments online," the statement read. "All Walmart stores nationwide have carried the CD since its release, including the Wallingford store mentioned in the post. This store actually sold through its initial shipment over the weekend. The majority of our stores today are showing they do have copies available."
Since his Twitter outburst on Friday, Chris Brown's account has been shut down.

Chris Brown deleted his Twitter account himself... I'm glad that he did, it's time to let this young man start the healing process... We should be praying for him, as well as ourselves, for none is perfect but the Father( God) For he without sin,let him cast the first stone,i'll wait!

@Captain Midnight- I'll tell you why I say we should pray for him, because that's what my BIBLE teaches me, Mark 11:25
25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions....
Matthew 6:14-15
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses
It's all about forgiveness Captain Midnight, Cnris Brown isn't the only one I pray for or for that matter not the only something I pray for. I pray for myself also and that the world I live in will become a better place, that a cure for cancer etc. will be found in my life time. That men and women will love another for who they are and not be judged for the color of their skin. I pray that people will stop passing judgement on other people. Yes Captain Midnight I too pray that this young man will grown into adulthood and become a responsible man.

i get the "he who is without sin to cast the first stone" thing, but this guy just doesn't seem to be remorseful. if he were, i think it would be a lot easier to be forgiven. but these outbursts are only making the matter worse. he should just man up and show that he is truly sorry for what he did and stop worrying about record sales! beating a woman is more important than record sales!!!!

When you play, you pay.........He played and he lost his mind, beating on a woman. Some peoople are in jail for doing what he did, he's free, on the streets, enjoying his ego and the maddness he says he deserves, please. EVERYONE pays for what they do, so let it be, then we can see some change that he made. He hasn't done that. Ruin is a start over, let it be and then lets see him "Do the right thing".....So far hes a lier and hes not sorry for what he did, so.

Calm down a bit Chris. Even before I got to the statement released by Walmart, I even entertained the idea that the CDs could have been sold out.

The amount of people on this young man's case is appalling. He has not only apologized but has asked R for forgiveness. Its seems to me that despite the awful incident that happened - and these happen all the time for some reason people just can't let this go. Never mind all of the other celebrities out there doing dirt - and not to mention R perfect timed interview - and all these so called Ryan Potter's out there - be very careful because you never know what is waiting to happen in your life around the corner. By the Grace of God there goes I.....

I feel that no one knows what took place but Chris Brown and Rihanna therefore all the side bar comments should cease!! God said judge not!! But as usual we have some ignorant people that will do that even though the master said not to>>>

What Chris did was wrong, but no one is seeing what Rhianna did....!I believe she hit him first....
I'm a woman...but I think she needs to get consoling too!....
The media LOVES to Bring Black Males down and give BAD coverage.....
What he did was wrong, but Rhinna was wrong too....
Chris has a clean cut look, and he should stop trying to be a Thug to sell records....he should be his classy self and has to remember CLASS goes a longer way.....

No MAN should EVER hit a woman! Period! The fact that you are a woman, Shellfish789, makes your statement even the more appalling. I hope you do not have sons to whom you have given this advice. If they take it and act on it, as Chris Brown has, then you will surely be visiting them in prison or visiting their remains in the graveyard. A MAN does not have to hit or beat up on a woman to prove his manhood. That does not mean he has to let a woman hit or beat up on him either. Being the stronger of the two, usually, there are other methods a man can use to protect himself, rather than resorting to his fists. There is a reason they don't put featherweights in the ring against heavyweights. It's a total mismatch. So, too, are most male vs. female physical encounters. That is why some women resort to the use of weapons as protection against the violence prone men in their lives. That is why some men wind up dead and the women that killed them are either exonerated for rightfully defending themselves, or are convicted of murdering the bastards. I also think Rihanna needs consoling. She probably needs counseling as well so that she will know how to recognize an abusive, controlling personality and so that she can break the cycle of abuse that began in her life as a child. Don't fault the media for reporting what's there. The black community pays dearly for the crimes of young black males, perpetrated against other blacks. It is time for black women to stop coddling and making excuses for black men when they are wrong. You want to keep Chris Brown on a pedestal while bashing Rihanna. Keep him up there all you want, but stop bashing Rihanna. The girl took a brutal beating. Thank God she lived through it. Otherwise, your beloved Chris could easily be doing time for murder.
