"Chris Brown has discussed his public image, and how it has been affected since he was charged with beating his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. He also questioned why fellow star Jay Z&amp;#039;s image hasn&amp;#039;t been tarnished, despite him pleading guilty to stabbing record executive Lance &amp;#039;Un&amp;#039; Rivera outside of a New York City nightclub in December 1999.  Brown said to Jet magazine: &amp;quot;No disrespect, because I&amp;#039;m a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that [Jay Z] stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass.&amp;quot; Brown went on to discuss his anger issues and how he&amp;#039;s working through them, saying: &amp;quot;You have to go through the struggle before you can get to the good part. I don&amp;#039;t try to lash out at people, or be as mad or impulsive as I used to be.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;I got to the point where it&amp;#039;s only so much you can take from the master, you feel me? I&amp;#039;ve taken my fair share of lashings.&amp;quot; Brown also talked about Trayvon Martin, the African-American teen whose death at the hands of George Zimmerman last year prompted controversy and a national discussion in the US about racism. He said: &amp;quot;I identify with Trayvon 100% as far as living in 2013 and still dealing with blatant racism. This generation is so used to racism that it&amp;#039;s normal; we don&amp;#039;t care. We aren&amp;#039;t on drugs or catching AIDS, but they still look at us as n***as.&amp;quot; View all of today&amp;#039;s best celebrity pictures - Photo gallery:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
