Cheat on Her, Don't Beat on Her

Kevin Jackson

“Cheat on her, don’t beat on her.” This was the phrase used on Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club by the ever so controversial radio personality, Charlamagne Tha God in response to a domestic violence case in Florida, where a man beat and strangled his wife for eating left over chicken.

Yes you read that right. He abused his wife for eating left over chicken, but that is beside the point.  Due to the climate around domestic violence and all of the high profile cases coming out of the National Football League (NFL) the phrase has sparked a conversation on how people should deal with domestic disputes and find alternatives to violence.

The phrase was created to spread the message that there is never a reason for a man to put his hands on a woman over relationship issues. While many people seem to agree with that statement, a fraction of our society still try to find a way to disagree.

There are always going to be problems within relationships and those people in our society have to learn that there are multiple solutions to fixing the problems and none them include violence. Whether the problems can be fixed through counseling, talking it out one on one, or cheating, each solution depends on each individual situation.

Still there is always the option of just ending the relationship before you cheat or use physical violence against your significant other because not every relationship is meant to work and that’s ok. Whether you agree with phrase or not it has sparked an important conversation about how to deal with the nationwide problem of domestic violence.
