Chris Brown insists on rubbing people the wrong way. This time he's done it with a Halloween outfit. Hip Hop Wired reports:
Chris Brown made an interesting decision in choosing a costume when he and his friends dressed up as Arab terrorists.
Above the caption "Ain't nobody f-cking wit my clique!!!" Brown
posted the photo of himself and his crew mimicking Arabic men holding
rifles. Although his intention may not have been to offend, the singer
caught some pretty swift backlash for the stunt.
"My nationality is not like that and my nationality is not a costume
for you to wear @chrisbrown how disrespectful!" wrote one person of
Arabic decent.
Another commenter hypothesized about Brown's true goal. "Chris Brown
[is] trying to break the record of Most Bad Decisions Made In A Row."
The photo is seen as offensive in that it further associates the
Muslim religion and Arabs with terrorism. Given the September attack on a
U.S. consulate in Libya, stemming from religious uproar caused by an anti-Islamic film, the timing of his decision couldn't be more unfortunate.
Brown hasn't yet responded to the hate, or apologized for the costume.
