Will Smith assaults Chris Rock at Oscars

[WinterBorn]

And you’d have likely suffered the consequences. However if you’re a Hollywood actor…

I would have been fine with that.

But saying "it was a joke" doesn't cover all sins.

 

[Ame®icano]

As I said before, my girlfriend had chemo some years ago, for breast cancer. If a comedian had made jokes about her bald head back then, I would have slapped the shit out of him.

I wouldn't blame you.

However, most of the times, jokes are just jokes, and not insults.

 

[WinterBorn]

Am I supposed to know about it because she's open about it? She's been open about he open marriage too, and to be honest, I don't really care. They're all pretty much all attention whores.

If Chris Rock didn't know, I bet he does now.

Purse fight!

It’s all political
The best was when Ricky Gerbo ( spelling)
Was host and trashed them all

 

[WinterBorn]

I wouldn't blame you.

However, most of the times, jokes are just jokes, and not insults.

If you know it is a medical condition and you know they are sensitive about it, then making jokes on national tv is simply cruel.

That one emo ***** actor went shirtless

What degenerate

Nor will “white knighting” cover one from criminal charges, or getting shot.

I have no clue IF he knew or not.

Oscars were unwatchable for me for decade or more. I just watched the clip because I've seen the thread on this.

I wasn't disappointed... when they go low, you go even lower.

And "keep my wife's name out of your fing mouth", twice, on national TV, is high style as well.

I have no problem with Will Smith facing charges. Just like I would have no problem facing charges if I was defending the woman I love.

I only became aware of it a few years ago.

I am really quite surprised at how prevalent it is among black women in the American community. My favorite politician, Cynthia McKinney, I believe suffers from it.

I did some research, and I believe, between 4-5% of middle aged or older black women get this condition, about 1 and half percent to two percent of Hispanic women, and a percent of white women get it.

For some reason, Asian women don't really get it. They have less than a percent of their population that suffer from it.

Men everywhere?

Again… You’re misusing the word. There was no “defending” going on. There was a joke. And an assault.

First, it's Oscars, it's supposed to be "high class".

They hire comedian to do jokes, right? And everyone attending is a fair game.

The thing I don't get is... Will is OK with another man ******* his wife, but jokes are where you cross the line?

From what I saw he even laughed at the joke. So he knew it was a joke, and not a dig. Then after the camera pans away Smith comes up and slapped Rock. So one can only assume something she said, or did motivated Smith to assault Rock.

 

[MisterBeale]

Or the whole thing was staged.

Again, like I wrote. in the black community, this is a reasonably common condition.

The very first female millionaire, is rumored to have made her million, BECAUSE of this condition. It isn't really, that big of a deal.

Most folks in the black community know this. . . .

Hair loss was a common ailment among black women at the time, due to scalp diseases and products which damaged hair – not to mention stress and poor diet. . . . "

What is a Jada?

Poster Child for not using drugs especially while pregnant.

 

[theHawk]

What class, he assaults Chris Rock live on stage for cracking a joke about Jada.




Really Will? Now you’re a tough guy after you were cool with some other guy slamming your wife?
