- Thread starter Duece
- Start date
u are aware he is wealthy right
don't mind him.. his emotions get the best of him LOL...
Man the comments ^^^^^ 
oprah will make him look like more of a bitch
BRUH....
at this point with this backlash....not possible..
oh its possible. it just keeps getting worse.
it will until will apologizes to chris publicly.
he already did. didn't work.
....Say what you will and want about K.S. I get some of the hate for him
But on this one........
Is he wrong?
A fuckin note on instagram hours after getting jiggy wit it isn't an apology...shit did he even write it?
You teach ten year olds how to properly apologize...Will knows how to do that.
Not if he continues going around slapping people. Assault lawsuits will drain those pockets.
Shit I'm about to get on socials and talk about Jada bald headed ass in hopes Will come slap me...
if Chris Rock can take it I know I can...
What a fucking stan you are. Are you still in high school ?
Damn.... This nigga Will is a COMPLETE SUCKA!!!!
I think because of a little more than 2 decades of being branded as a nice guy p ople have fo got in his younger years he wasn't so nice and was known for slapping people. I remember sometime around 94 or 95 or here was a replacement on inside edition when a reporter ran oluo on will in a car garage at a shopping mall. Will repeatedly smacked the shit out of him and they were hard angry slaps not like that love tap he gave that dude on the red carpet.
that won't change anything. you can't smack a man and apologize and think everything is all good.A fuckin note on instagram hours after getting jiggy wit it isn't an apology...shit did he even write it?
You teach ten year olds how to properly apologize...Will knows how to do that.
actually you can....it happens all the time. Neither Will or Chris or Chris's brothers (despite all the vitriol from tony rock) aren't street niggas...this aint crips and bloods. Da fuck you think chris is gonna do....a driveby on the mothafucka??
These are rich black men whose mothers raised right... the mature thing for MULTI MILLIONAIRES 58 year old Chris Rock and 53 year old Will Smith is to talk that shit out and shake hands.
Thats all that can happen at this point.
if anything was going to happen it should have happened that night and it should have looked like this...

as a woman, you are completely clueless. you can't smack a man in a public space and think everything good. ask anyone here if they would be cool with that before you make idiotic assumptions. if you think saying an apology is going to fix anything, you are watching too many lifetime movies. it's a wrap now.
you don't have to believe me. ask anyone else here and get three people to agree with you.
121 now, it was dying down until Jada got it started again with her comments…lol
I never said theyd be best friends but they gotta do something to get past the moment... for both of them.
and you think whats going to happen?? Chris Rock is going to knuckle up with Will Smith?? Will Smith is going to not just leave his wife but do a disparaging rap against the mother of his children?? You talk about clueless... nigga thats moronic AND clueless..
Unlike yourself every black person isn't a hood street nigga saggin his pants and drankin 40s with a glock on the hip.
another idiotic assumption. you sound like a white woman. sagging pants and 40s? this isnt 1996. have you left your house the last 20 years? your insults are dated.I never said theyd be best friends but they gotta do something to get past the moment... for both of them.

i said what he needed to do, not what is likely to happen. you creating things i havent said like a woman. he needs to leave his wife.
I don't that's the tone of this thread
Most of this thread has been people breaking down Will and Jada's relationship and how that set the stage for Will to be inclined to do what he did.
I think most clear thinking, Black members of BGOL think that Will should be given a fair chance to resume his career.

Magic Johnson Wanted to Hit Howard Stern After Racist 1998 Interview Where He Was Told He ‘Had Fun Getting AIDS’
While shock jock humor is the brand that made Howard Stern famous, an interview on Magic Johnson’s 1998 late-night talk show “The Magic Hour” pushed the limits even for him, creating one of the most uncomfortable moments in late-night TV history.
In a new interview with Variety, Johnson looked back on his hosting stint prior to the April 22 release of “They Call Me Magic,” an Apple TV Plus docuseries that covers his life and career — including his brief chapter in the late-night seat. And though “The Magic Hour” was an overall flop, hated by critics and canceled after three short months, it’s Stern’s appearance on the program that still gets talked about today as a blatant example of how entertainers could get away with making racist comments before things changed in our culture.
“So many times, I wanted to say something and hit him at the same time — on air,” Johnson tells Variety, looking back at the interview. Johnson hasn’t spoken to Stern since then.
For those unfamiliar with the episode, here’s a primer: After “The Magic Hour” premiered, Stern started attacking the program on his massively popular radio show, criticizing Johnson and mocking his comedic timing and interviewing skills. In an effort to drum up ratings for “The Magic Hour,” the producers of the show decided to invite Stern on as a guest.
“Let’s get right to it,” Johnson said in the interview after Stern came out on stage. “Why have you been talking about me so much, man?”
“The thing you need to work on, in my estimation, is that you’ve gotta stop trying to talk like the white man,” Stern answered. “Everybody’s anti-Ebonics. I say, let it fly! What you need to do, ‘my brotha,’ is to really get down with it. You talk Ebonics all you want.”
But Stern was only getting warmed up. “Listen, you’re a Black man. I grew up in a Black neighborhood,” Stern added. “I’m Blacker than you are, trust me. I’m the Blackest Black man you’ll ever meet. And I’m telling you right now, when I lived in Roosevelt, Long Island, which is a Black ghetto, everybody talked like this,” he said, before doing an impression of how he thought Black people spoke. “I was a big marble mouth, but it was fascinating, because I was one of the people. Why does everybody have to understand every word you say? Who cares what you got to say? No difference what you say.”
Stern eventually changed the subject to Johnson’s HIV status, which he’d disclosed at a 1991 press conference when he retired from the NBA.
“You had the life I wanted,” Stern said later in the interview, prodding Johnson about his sexual history before his diagnosis. “These were white chicks? Black chicks? What do we got? What did you prefer? You would have sex with everybody? At least you had fun getting AIDS.”
Johnson calmly corrected Stern, saying that he had HIV, not AIDS, and that “nobody has fun” contracting it.
“Believe me, brother, you did. It sounds like fun to me,” Stern replied.
The show’s dismal ratings were the reason for Stern’s appearance in the first place. Hoping to draw in more viewers, producers of “The Magic Hour” booked Stern, presenting the interview as an opportunity for Johnson to confront him — though Johnson now admits the interview happened against his will.
“I was mad when they booked him,” Johnson says. “But there’s nothing you can do. When people look for ratings, this is what happens.”
Johnson continued: “It is what it is. I learned a lot from that. I’ve never put myself — or HIV and AIDS, or my race — in that position again, ever again.”
Johnson wasn’t Stern’s only target during his appearance on “The Magic Hour.” Stern also joked about losing games of basketball against “midgets.” And several times throughout the interview, he turned to Sheila E., the bandleader of the show, to comment on her breasts. “Sheila, you take off your top. Go kiss another girl in the band. Give us some lesbianism,” he said at one point.

still thinking like a dumb nigga...
1. that doesn't solve anything with chris rock which is the ONLY thing anyone cares about at this point.
2. it doesn't absolve him of the dumbass thing he did to chris rock
3. only dumbasses like you think it would
stay FOCUSED dummy! A grown ass man doesn't make excuses for his bad decisions.
that can only happen with a face to face apology from will to chris...the atonement has to be in the same manner as the offence.. If I were chris I wouldn't even begin to accept anything less and if will doesn't do that then that "I want be a vessel for love" shit he been saying for years was just that....bullshit and If I were chris that would be my stand up campaign against him... right now I assume chris is holding his powder waiting to see what Will's gonna do.
What idiot goes on the Howard stern show and is shocked he made a inappropriate joke?
