Chris Brown hurls gay slur, takes to Twitter to say he didn't mean it

Wednesday (June 22) in Los Angeles, Chris Brown ranted at cameramen that they tipped parking enforcement off to his illegally-parked car. In the ensuing fit, he yelled, "Y'all n****** is weak. Did you all call them to try and film me? Y'all n****** is gay!", according to TMZ.Brown has now taken to his Twitter account with the following message:
"I have total respect for Gay community and my intention was not to insult anyone in it. #REALS***"
He then tweeted the above picture a few hours later, labeled "cold nipples." So ... there's that.
This is not Chris Brown's first "slip of the tongue" involving homophobic comments. Back in December, (on Twitter!) Brown got into a spat with Raz B, who wondered how men like Chris Brown could disrespect women, specifically Rihanna.
Brown responded to Raz B, "Why when the money was coming in u won't complaining about getting butplugged! #homothug!!!" and then, "@razb2k n**ga you want attention! Grow up n**ga! D*** in da booty a** lil boy."
Raz's response to that?
"u victimize victims, ur a homophobe, ur on the down low & a woman beater. Merry Christmas & thx 4 showin every1 ur true colors," and "Is this your way of coming on to me???? Dude im not Gay! i was molested! stop disrespecting the LGBT community!"
Perhaps Chris Brown just felt like he'd been out of the media too long looking like a big jerk (he's more than a jerk, but we're family-friendly here).

It shouldn't surprise us when this happens with these homophobes. It really bugs me how they "let it slip" and then apologize, several times. Their "I didn't mean it" is a load of crap they spew just to cover their *****.
Funny stuff :)
What an Idiot!!
This little boy is very good at contempt and disrespect and hatred and nothing else.
Enjoy your way down.
This is getting annoying. How many people apologize when a woman is called a "*****"? None. And when people say "gay", they're not even talking about a homosexual person.
You know what, Chris Brown, Tracy Morgan, Kobe Bryant, Joakim Noah, Isaiah Washington... (let me know if I missed anyone) - F*CK YOU ALL!!! I hate this stupid f*cking homophobic country. I swear to god, I'm moving to Canada first chance I get!
You people make me sick. YOU WILL NOT WIN. So damn sensitive, and it wasn't even used against homosexuals. I've used the word "gay" since I was a kid, and it was never used in the context against gays. Words have different meanings, if you morons would just look them up in the dictionary. It's all in the context of how you use them. I guess those were a couple gay men standing in front of him, you'd have a point. BUT YOU DON'T, SO SHUT YOUR MOUTHS. YOU'RE NOT GONNA SQUELCH MY RIGHT TO SAY WHAT I WANT. LEAVE THE FREAKING COUNTRY IF YOU DON'T LIKE OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS. I'm sure your cause will go over real well in a third world country.
This is getting kind of ridiculous; I'm a gay man myself and I took no offense to his original comment. Yes, it annoys me when people replace a word with gay when the two are not synonymous, but unfortunately that's how society has redefined the word and it probably will not change soon. We can only hope that eventually the incorrect usage will die down, but we cannot launch ourselves at everyone who says "that's so gay." I don't think him using the word gay warranted an apology (even though it's kind of a nice gesture that he did).
I think everyone knows that "gay" is one of those words where the context means everything.
He didn't mean it like that, just drop it. Everyone reads into things and thinks there is some deep dark meaning behind everything. Just chill out and take the comment at face value after he clearly says it wasn't meant to disrespect gay people.
OK then. Nevermind.
