Exposed


Another long overdue post. I'm finding it hard to devote time to sit down a make a quality post with all the other things I have going on. Hopefully once Tha King get some kind of routine back in his life the post will start coming regularly again. Now down to business.


"They say two wrongs don't make a right." One of the oldest cliques in the book. First of all, who is "They" and who made them so damn knowledgeable about wrong and right? Is there ever a time when a wrong is justified by an even greater wrong? Allow me to tell you the story of my young friend Cuba. Cuba is young college student who up until recently was in a committed relationship. For reasons unknown to Tha King, young Cuba came to the conclusion that she was missing something in her relationship and decided to find that missing something in the bed of another man.


All was well and good until Cuba's boyfriend found out about her unsavory activities. Needless to say he was none to pleased. In fact he felt the need to seek revenge on his scandalous significant other. Over the course of their relationship, Cuba's boyfriend had amassed an impressive collection of pictures and videos of young Cuba in some....compromising positions. Mr Cuba decided these were the perfect means with which to exact his revenge. He made a webpage(I'll try and find the link) with all of Cuba's personally information, the details of her infidelity, and the pictures and videos that until recently were for his eyes only. Needless to say Cuba was completely humiliated as her photos spread thought her entire school and out into cyberspace, forever accessible to the public.


This brings up a rather interesting issue. While the male reaction has been firmly supportive of the actions of Cuba's boyfriend, The opposite sex has cried foul. They say that the punishment was cruel and unusual and that if he felt it necessary to retaliate he could have done so in a less drastic way. Tha King believes this is bullshit. First off, the guilty do not get to negotiate their punishment. Your guilty, you should have considered the repercussions beforehand. In this post Jazmine Sullivan, Lorena Bobbit, bust your windows out world, all's fair in love and war. I believe there's a line in that song that says she had to do something to make him hurt, same applies in this situation. What women fail to realize is that infidelity is just as hurt, if not more, to a man. Its a devastating blow to ones ego. At the time the man in question needed to make Cuba feel the way he did at the time, helpless.


So, did the punishment fit the crime? Guys, would you have done the same? Something different? Nothing at all? Ladies, if you discover your significant other is an infidel what is your method of retaliation if at all?

  1. First of all WOW. I may get some flack from my other female counterparts but while I don't think two wrongs make a right if she hadn't cheated this wouldn't have happened. If you do something wrong you have to be able to deal with the repercussions. That's why I always say never give a dude nude/semi-nude pics because it can come back to bite you in the ass. Homeboy must of been hella pissed to do that though. A whole webpage? Damn.

  2. I think he was a bit evil for that. I mean of course you take a risk sending pics and vids, and I am sure he was hurt and all and she was wrong for what she did but WOW...I am gonna assume that he has no plans of ever taking her back, not that I would go if I were her. Yeah she may have broken his heart, more than anything bruised his ego, but damn did she deserve to have her life ruined?

  3. The act of cheating is embarrassing and this post comes at a funny part of my life directly and indirectly. However, I believe that there are times where two wrongs do make a right, but he shouldn't have done that. He trusted her for a relationship and she trusted him with those pics so technically they are even in terms of violating trust. Nonetheless, homeboy violated on a public level for those who knew the situation and those who don't which makes it OD. I don't feel bad for Cuba, but to call foul I say is a right call for the retaliation.

  4. he went too overboard, he will eventually get over the pain of the infidelity, however those pics will follow her around the rest of her life, it may even result in suicide( yeah im jumping the gun a little). True indeed she cheated and she doesn't deserve any sympathy, but sit back and think about this she took those pics for his private viewing keyword being PRIVATE, so when the next female cheats on him if she does what is he gonna do next?, kill her? for me its way deeper then just her stepping out on him, homeboy needs some serious counseling and shes going to need it too for the rest of her life

  5. He went overboard. If anything he should have cheated on her and made sure she knew about it. But putting pics and videos up that's crazy. because that shit will definitely follow her and agreeing with Anonymous it may lead to suicide you never know.
