In an effort to promote the importance of literacy, young R&B singer Chris Brown paid a visit to the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem in New York City last Thursday (Mar 11), and read a book called “Superhero School” to a group of third graders .

The entertainer, who took a few pictures and signed some autographs following the reading, tweeted about the experience on his newly-launched Twitter account.

“Just left a school in Harlem reading to 3rd graders a book called Superhero School. The school was a great experience… the kids were great, and i had a great time promoting the importance of literacy.”

    Wow, whoever let this happen really jumped the shark this time…

    Chris was really genuine when he done all that. Only in America they say everybody deserve a second chance. Last time I checked that does not give anybody the right to say when a person is entitled to second chance. We all make mistakes = sins.

    U should never beat up a woman under any circ**stances but he deserves a 2nd chance because nobody’s perfect we’ve all done something that’s not right.

    true we all make mistakes. thats why we all make up for our mistakes and let it not happen again. last time blogging. working on my album.

    I hate that Rhianna ruined this mans career. You know she hit that dude multiple times. But he didnt have to beat her ass like that. I hope he can bounce back. His music is pretty good.

    Sure, Chris is safe around kids. It’s only girlfriends that he likes to smack around.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Danak/ Danak

    He has paid his debt to society…Rihanna I’m sure isnt’t giving Chris much thought since the incident so why won’t the media move on to? What he did was wrong without a doubt but I wonder how many of yall continue to support R.Kelly for f**king with young chicks?….. I’ll wait…..I bet most of yall saw the tape too smh Everyone has made a mistake in their lives that they’ve regretted…this was his….I can only hope that he has learned from this….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blackdiamond184/ blackdiamond184

    Lol, What was the name of the book “The cat in the hat beats his p***y with a baseball bat” “Snow white gets beatin black” Everyone saw his reaction when they questioned him about Tiger Woods wife. Give it up Chris !

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/korg/ korg

    danak, what in hell does that mean ? he has a propensity for beating women ! what he did to her was reprehensible !! once a beater, always a beater. my wife hit me, i left !! he was driving, he could have just left ! he is NOT going to “be nice to kids” his way out of this. the man has a problem, AS DOES ANY MAN THAT HITS A WOMAN ! NO MAN WANTS HIS DAUGHTER BEAT ON, AND HIS WOMAN IS SOMEONES DAUGHTER ! now, for all of you women who accept this behavior from a man, YOU ARE STUPID !!!! and for any man with that ” if she hit me, ma mama told me she deserves to be hit ” YOU ARE A COWARD !!!! PERIOD !!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/korg/ korg

    AND ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS R. THE PEDOPHILE KELLY, SHOULD DO CAMPAIGN WORK FOR CATHOLIC PRIESTS !!!! i heard some woman say he was innocent til proven guilty !!!!!! i told her its on tape, idiot !!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Dime_Perfect36079/ Dime_Perfect36079

    u ppl are really making me mad.. the media needs to leave cB alone.. everyone has sinned and falling short of the glory.. no sin is larger than the other. if u break one law you are guilty of breaking the law (period)= there are no if, ands, or buts about it. people need to stop judging him ; it is not your job to demean his character.. how can u try talk about the sawdust in his eye when you have a plank in your own? true, he was wrong and my sympathy goes out to rihanna; however, GOD has forgiven him .. if you cant forgive cB, GOD will not forgive you.. REMEMBER: YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS MUSIC NOT HIS PERSONAL LIFE= ppl are so judgmental and have no right!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    Pathetic. Even though I think Rihanna deserved what she got (Yeap I said it!), He needs to not be so patronizing in his effort to re- establish his ‘image’. He damn sure wasnt reading to little kids when he was talkin bout ‘run it’ and ‘gimme dat’… This act would have looked great had he done it BEFORE he whooped that azz…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/NaTuRaLDeLIcAcy/ NaTuRaLDeLIcAcy

    That’s unhealthy for his abusive ass to be around them kids….. LMAO j/k

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/colts30/ colts30

    Glad to see him giving back to the community… Still sadly his CAREER is over… Just can’t go abusing thy queens… That’s a NO NO!!!

    Way to go Chris, I hope its coming from the heart, only God knows, dont give up on yourself, people just like you and I nailed a perfect man to a cross, so just be focused as long as we continue to comment, you still have media coverage. You should come back to the cap, and throw yourself into a movement to help these young men that possibly wont recieve a sentence like the one you recieved, prevent it from happening, do it whole heartedly. Your career will be fine just as long as you keep making good music, you just have to forgive your self and move on never forget, and do what ever is in your power to help people Men and woman to avoid this kind of thing from happening (oppinions, this is mines)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mstanmi/ mstanmi

    Im so sick of this mess!!!! He was wrong for what he did. Im just tired of the hating and all this. Some probably have been hit or are still in an abusive relationship yourself. So why come on here and say that he is not going to amount to nothing. Then your butt is going home to the mess. He apologized, get over it. He has moved on and so has Rihanna. He dont have to prove himself to us.

    As for Chris he said he did wrong and he ask forgiveness. he is a young man and i don’t think he need to carry this for life. I think he is doing the right thing. Some people never hear the wake up call.

    @m1meanredhead, I’m guessing you’re someone who is trying to get attention. None from me… Anyway, CB is doing this to get his image back….. AND??? So what? Let him. He has to get redemption somehow. I wonder what you niggas be saying if CB beat up a white girl and the media kept f*cking with him. You’d be saying leave him alone also. I guess I’m just sick of you angry ass niggas on this site lol. Bottom line is, everyone deserves a second chance…

    First of all, yes we all make mistakes in life, I for one will never buy another Chris Brown album again, it’s funny to me when I hear people say Rihanna ruined his career, which is a bulls**t excuse, no one can ruin anyone’s career, when your a man, you chooses your path, as a man you have to mantain self control, no one can make you do anything, everything you do in life, you make that decision, abusers usually don’t change.
    I will say that I wish him well in life, I don’t wish bad on anyone, God is the one that will make sure we all are judged and that we get what we deserve, all he has to do is ask the Lord forgiveness, and he will be forgiven if he lives right from that day on.

    As for R-Kelly he’s a damn pedophile, I will never buy another one of his albums again, especially not his ass, anyone that can sit and say he is innocent is a damn fool, yep I said it. I saw the damn tape myself and it was definitely his trifling ass, that’s the problem with our race sometimes,I don’t care what color you are if you wrong, your ass needs to be punished, if you still support R-Kelly that’s your business, I hope and pray that you never have a daughter, a niece for men like him to prey on, I have 3 boys and 1 daughter, I am raising my boys how to grow up and be a real man, how to treat women, and how to treat people in general, treat them the way you want to be treated as simple as that.
    I tell you if someone ever molested someone that I gave birth to, someone whom I love, there is nothing that would stop me from making them pay, I don’t care how rich and talented they are.
    Have A Blessed Day All!!!

    Well he is tryin to get his image back. i dont blame him i would do the same s**t. but i think he should of just shoke rihanna a lil bit. not hit her. i would never hit a woman but i would shake the s**t out her ass tho.

    Look ppl just like to have some attention lol. Listen to that sily @(m1meanredhead) I don’t know if that’s a lady or a man . you are so UGLY looking and you got a ugly heart as well. oh dear!! SHAME on you. Listen, I don’t think you even know your of being on thie planet EARTH. You need to leave BP becuz it’s for ppl with heart not silly a*****e like you.

    If Chris was your son or relative u won’t have said heartless words to him. If you are looking for ppl to wish dead , i guess you’ve got kids or relatives that you can wish dead ok….. get on with it and wish them dead……

    What’s your pupose on EARTH? @ m1meanredhead

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/writer_man/ writer_man

    Cool~ if its sincere. But if this is your agents/managers attempt to make u a “nice guy” in the public eye it wont work!
    CB whatever you do – will be mentioned along with the Rhianna beating and you are forever marked bru. Evey good deed will be reported like…
    “Chris Brown “who BEAT HIS EX GF RHIANNA” (Show her bruised face) helped sick kids today” or “Chris Brown “is serving 5 yrs probation for BEATING his ex gf Rhianna” (Show her bruised face) Did some positive stuff today, sources say THIS will NOT help his image.”

    When you get 105 yrs old and pass-away 2095 NEWS Reports will say “Chris Brown Passed away, he was 105, the once talented singer/dancer ruined his career after BEATING HIS Former GF Rhianna 80 yrs ago before the two attended the GRAMMY Awards tomorrow on the 124th Annual Grammy show he will be remembered…
    your best beat is to take your money start a shelter for battered/homeless women ~n~Children and chill for a few years wit it.
    Or go to college/law school become an attorney who specialize in defending women abused or mistreated. begging fans to buy your new album wont get it bru’

    Looks like a good thing to do and a great story. People should never turn their backs on kids, no matter who they are or where they come from. Kids in Harlem deserve to be read to by celebrities just like kids in “nice areas” around America. Also, whether this is an attempt to clean up his image or not, Chris Brown did a good thing. My mother was a school teacher and I was always taught the importance of readiing and / or being read to. As for the idiot poster “m1meanredhead” she probably can’t even spell Chris Brown and oly has the right to post her vile comments because of freedom of speech. However, I would tell her where to go and anyone else that agrees with her.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sexynickey/ sexynickey

    I wish people would give him a break like damn.. He’s not the first to hit a woman and damn sure ain’t the last. Besides there is always two sides to a story and if a guy is in love with a woman deeply he usually doesn’t RAT her out.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/odoggz/ odoggz

    @sexynickey
    What???–> “if a guy is in love with a woman deeply he usually doesn’t RAT her out”

    While that might be true.. uhmm yeaaaaah and he usually doesn’t beat the living sh1t out of woman when he is in love with her deeply, too.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Harvey33/ Harvey33

    I find it funny how people are treating him like he had a history of hitting women. He was 19 years old. i’m not defending him or his ex,but to let the media dump on him the way they did was and is wrong.Have that same standard when dealing with others too. But what piss me off is how blacks have treated him.We can defend company’s that make our women look like s**t etc,our men look like pimps baby daddies etc.And find way to deny what’s going on.Chris is a young man who mess up,let not let white folk and a few House N****rs take him down.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/n0gar/ n0gar

    Trying to make him look loving and caring by reading to kids. I guess that’s why they had Bush II reading to kids as he was destroying lower Manhattan.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/n0gar/ n0gar

    LAHASIA: That’s right, tell that ugly b***h! I had to tell it a thing or too myself. Calling people spooks but wanting black dick. She is probably trying to give black men AIDS. This is why you always have to feel these crackers out. Many think that they can call people niggas because some other ignorant black did not mind them calling them that, but calling someone a spook is really telling. Her or it’s skin is ugly with all of those spots and looks like salami!

    Black guys can play it safe by just leaving these people alone since you never know what their real motive is in wanting a black man. She said on her page, “come real or don’t come at all.” I would not want to come. Those are the ugliest types of white people. In fact, she is not even white, she is bloody red with spots.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/javon707/ javon707

    let the man go on about his life. if he wants to read to children, i see no big deal. all ya’ll so called “righteous, never beat a chick under any circ**stance” are a load of crap.

    had an ex girlfriend called herself “b***h slapping” me in a heated argument. ex girlfriend got a fist to her dome. I’ll kick a woman’s ass if she hits me in my face. call me what you want.

    some of ya’ll need to get over it. you act like chris brown beat you up. he apologized to riri (although she deserved an ass whooping), they made up and both moved on. you people should do the same.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/The_Mechanic1/ The_Mechanic1

    I see a lot of hatred on here about the man…………Who in the hell cares about his business. He’s human and we all make mistakes, we need to stop worrying about his past and start worrying about our future cause we’re not doing so much to help our community and @ least he’s trying to give back and to some of ya on here talking bad about him, ask yourself one question please….What can you do to stop hatred towards others? Well easy, get a life and stop worrying about celebrities problems and your own kind…………….Do your thing Chris and I know this comment doesn’t mean anything to you at all, cause your ass isn’t coming to BP to read our BS comments. lol.

R. Kelly didn’t have to do all this and you shouldn’t either!! What happened with you was between you and Rhianna!!

    NEVER WITH MY CHILD/SONS, AND IF I HAD A DAUGHTER, I WOULD HAVE CRIED AN OUTRAGE!

    YOU CONDONE HIS PREVIOUS ACTIONS LIKE A FOOL. THAT IS AMERICA, MONKEY SEE, OH IT LOOKS CUTE AND COOL, SO MONKEY DO. IF IT’S INTELLIGENT OR LOGICAL IT’S CORNY! IT’S BETTER TO BE A DUMMY AND LAUGH MY LIFE AWAY!

    THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF PEOPLE WE NEED AROUND OUR KIDS!!!!!
