Do the comments show that the public is simply over celebs-behaving-badly, particularly when there is so much more at stake in today's challenging times?  Perhaps.  What is curious, however, is how race - subtly or overtly - seems to come into play into not just the highlighted comments we found below but through the many that we did not post.  Different standards?  Heightened racial times?  One could speculate in many ways.  But the real statistic that we'd like to know is how many meals could have been bought for the homeless based on the amount of Ace of Spades premium champagne bottles that were hurled and wasted?  Yikes!

 Despite sources denying that the fight was not over the men’s mutual romantic history with Rihanna, rappers Drake and Chris Brown had a melee in which Brown was hurt, and later reportedly consoled by his former girlfriend Rihanna. Not only were bottle thrown and noses bloodied at the just recently shutdown club W.i.P in Manhattan's hip SoHo neighborhood, but many innocent bystanders were hurt. Let’s examine what commentators are saying regarding celebrity behavior, as such. 

What Others Are Saying...

...Wakeup call for his once-battered girlfriend, Rihanna, who is getting back with him. The young-bloods need to be horse whipped into behaving like civilized boy-men.

...two talented young men who really need to squash the beef. They should be more considerate of the young kids who idol both of them. We pay to hear good music, not about beefing …they should be working together getting more money rather than fighting each other.

Rihanna has been everywhere…she makes all black women look bad. Hell she makes Kim Kardashian look like a saint
