If this photo is authentic, it serves as a perfect example of what the hip-hop mentality can do to women. Chris Brown may not be a hip-hop artist, but he’s certainly part of its culture and attitude. This culture is anti-women, and basically anti-civilization.

Rihanna should use this opportunity to educate and influence youngsters in a positive manner. For years, she and her ilk have taught youngsters that dressing like a prostitute and behaving like one is ideal behavior for a girl. Boys, of course, should behave like pimps.

Let’s hope Rihanna does teach girls (and boys) self-respect and humility, and takes on the hip-hop culture’s destruction.
