President Obama Appoints Violence Against Women Post To Actress Gabrielle Union

Congratulations are in order!
Actress Gabrielle Union has been appointed a post on the National Advisory Committee for Violence Against Women by President Obama.
Her duties will entail meeting with committee members to share their ideas and expertise when it comes to crimes of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence against women.
Even though Gabrielle has been busying working in fashion and film, she says that this this most "fulfilling" job at the moment.
It's so great when celebrities can lend their voices to important causes.
We wish Gabrielle luck in her new job.

Why her? Just curious - has she been a victim?
I would think Rhianna would be a better choice
I believe she was raped.
Re: MoronsMakeMeLaugh – She was raped when she was 19. A fitting choice, I think. Good luck to her.
She worked at a Payless or something when she was a teen or young adult, a man broke in, robbed them and raped her. The story is absolutely horrific and she's proceeded with such grace.
She's the perfect appointee. God bless her.
Re: MoronsMakeMeLaugh – yes when she was 19, she was raped and baddly beaten t a shoe store she worked at!
Rhianna, not likely. Gabrielle is the perfect choice, she was praised by Oprah for being an activist for women, she is not new to being a public speaker on the topic of violence against women.
America doesn't care about violence against women, case in point, the ressurgance of popularity for Chris Brown.
Bitch has nothing else to do, no one is hiring her…..so why not?
Re: NookiesWA – go to hell asshole
Re: GayRay – Re: NookiesWA – seriously you guys are fucking assholes!!!
No one either male or female needs to be hit or called those names. What would you do if your mom or sister was called a bitch, smacked then raped. i dont think it would be so funny to you huh?
Fucking ignorant bastards
She's a good choice because she's been on the receiving end of violence. She was brutally raped at the age of 19 when she was working as a manager in a Payless years ago before she became an actress. It takes a brave women to share her story and want to use her experience to help other women.
I used to like Obama. That was before he decided to tax Canadians for flying to the US. He's a goddamn idiot. Please don't re-elect that fucking goon. Why don't all the countries of the world tax Obama for the privilege of flying to THEIR airports?
Re: NookiesWA – You're a pathetic idiot who doesn't deserve to live.
whoa, wait, cause she's black????
she looks stunning
@Talia88 Most countries charge you a "tax" in some shape or form. Worry about your own country.
Also, whoever wrote the title to this story needs to go back to school.
Re: patticake1601 – Uhm, she is worrying about her own country.
Re: sweetness16 – Re: Insanity_77 – Re: frusciante – Silence bitches before I issue out backhands..giving women rights was the worst thing we could of done.
Re: Talia88 – obama was the worst thing to happen to the united states because he is too worried about tv apperances and appointing celebrities to jobs. i believe this is his third one? the kumar guy also.i like how everyone cant admit they picked a shitty ass president. they allwant to find out if he isnt a u.s. citizen instead of saying they fucked up
It's a great choice because of her rape many years ago, but a shocking and unfortunate choice because she publically stood behind chris brown when he beat the shit out of rhianna.
Re: Talia88 – umm why do you need to come to the USA if your ass is canadian? hmmm stfu and stay in your frigid country
Re: FearTheBeard – because she probably deserved it
Re: Talia88 – He did that because we don't want your Fucking Canadian asses here douche………does it have to be spelled out for you?
Re: Insanity_77 – I did rape and slap my Mom and Sister while calling them a bitch silly! THEY LIKED IT!
Re: yeaman – Suck My Obama voting dick
Re: GayRay – you do it now comon' Do It! ok now is perfect Do It! Do It!
Re: GayRay – YOU SHALL LOSE YOUR JOB JUST FOR SAYING THAT.
Re: NookiesWA – AND YOUR NUTS SHOULD BE REMOVED VEIN BY VEIN
Re: Insanity_77 – READ MY COMMENTS, IM ON THE PATROL TODAY FOR ASS HOLES LIKE THOSE GUYS.
Re: Talia88 – WRONG FORUM, NOT TALKING OBAMA, GO AWAY
Re: NookiesWA – WORD OF ADVICE/WARNING………….YOU NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL FROM THIS MOMENT ON………LIVE TODAY LIKE IT'S YOUR LAST. AND "WE" ARE SERIOUS. YOUR COMMENTS HAVE BEEN DULY RECORDED, SO PICK A SHOULDER, LEFT-RIGHT, START LOOKING………….NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL SHE WOULD BE BLACK
Re: Talia88 – Um, most countries DO charge an arrival/departure tax. It's usually included in the cost of your ticket so not a lot of people notice it. I paid it when I went to the Dominican Republic. Don't like it, you don't have to visit here.
BLACKS HIRING BLACKS
@EVERY POSTERS WHO WONDER WHY SHE WAS SELECTED FOR THIS POSITION!!!
Do your homework. Gabrielle is fortunate to be alive today.
In 1992, at age 19, Union was attacked, beaten and raped at her part-time job in a shoe store. Her attacker later turned himself in and was sentenced to 33 years in prison. She has since become an advocate for victims of sexual assault.
Now does this make sense why she has been appointed a post on the National Advisory Committee for Violence Against Women by President Obama.
People BEFORE you commit aleast KNOW what you are talking about!!! Because now you look STUPID!!!!!!!
