So in other words, if it would have been a white actor slapping Chris Rock, all shit would have broken loose.

She talks through both of her faces. If they would of removed him she would than say they did so because he was black.

If they had removed them, it would have cost a whole bunch of money while he was removed. Besides, they thought it was good to keep him there to give all the rubes watching the program something to talk about the next day. Wasn't racial to keep him there, it was dollars y'all. They didn't want the hassle that a delay would have caused.

Besides.................like I said...............it gives the rubes who watched it something to talk about around the water cooler the next day.

I sincerely doubt the Academy wanted this sort of thing to be what people were talking about the next day. They wanted people to be talking about who won the best actor, best actress, and which movie won best picture.

Calumny tends to be Whoopi Goldbert's thang. What Whoopi Goldberg missed was that Will Smith committed an act of chivalry in not allowing some vile-mouthed creep to smear his beloved and get off scot free in front of God and everybody.

That's true too.

 

[BackAgain]

I assume that they didn’t want to take out the guy who they knew or thought was about to win the Oscar. But I think it would have been great. Announce Will’s win and then have Chris announce that Smith “couldn’t be here to accept, because he just got tossed out the door!”

 

[whitehall]

It's probably true or maybe it was a setup all along.

 

[the other mike]

I think the actor that played the black elf in Bad Santa should have walked up there and kicked Will Smith in the nuts

The left will always make excuses or outright ignore Black on Black crime.

No, what Will smith committed was misdemeanor assault. Nothing else.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Maybe it is because a black man had already been taken out in a way and the powers that be didn't want to walk down the road that Will was more than happy to construct?

God bless you and him always!!!

P.S. Will was given the opportunity to have that winning moment to where an apology could be issued and so I can't help but wonder if this whole picture was scripted just to give us all something to talk/war about with each other. Mission accomplished is all that can be said if I am right about their possible intention.

I wonder why he bitch slapped him instead of giving a hard solid punch

Good point and one that I made earlier. Could be that if he would have used his fist than there would be charges to face, or
it was a set-up to begin with.

Black Privilege?

Chivalry is more important than a boys-will-be-boys dispute. Badmouthing a good woman has its consequences, and Mr. Rock didn't know it then but he knows it now.

Mr. Rock has been pulled over 3 times in the past 2 months. He wants nothing to do with the police. Speeding is not a minor offense if it causes someone else to crash or experience road rage or worse. Ask any cop.

I think it's more a case that Ms. Goldberg says more than she thinks.

You have a different idea of chivalry than I.

Will Smith is now the most famous man in the world who is more outraged by a comedian having his wife's name in his mouth than he is by another man being in his wife's mouth.

What's done is done. It was good of Chris Rock to take his lumps and move on.
