These are grown adults.
I preach daily to my 18 and 19 year old students about being accountable about the decisions they make.
They got to both own this. They knew what they were doing and still didn’t give a damn.
This where we have our blackness and our Vulcan dna conflict
Completely hypothetical
We now know this is real agreed?
Which I said immediately.
Even if it was initially staged it was real
I believe Chris told Will imma make a joke then you react.
The joke was made
Every one was in on it.
But Will saw Jada eyes.
He realized that it went to far
He didn't think it was gonna hit that hard. It wasn't what he expected.
Chris KNEW as a friend of the family the joke was a little harsh but as a comedian he just has to do it. They are friends he thought
Will is shocked by the joke but plays along until not only Jada reaction but the AUDIENCE reaction hits him
Much like when Chappelle heard the white folks laugh at ni**er jokes and lost it.
We are human beings and sometimes things just hit us unexpectedly...
Love hate laughter anger...
Emotions can be and are very unpredictable
And then boom an unexpected confluence of events.
And lack of self control lack of self awareness lack of empathy...
All very hollywood traits.
I hope the viewing public understands
Millionaire making mistakes ain't the same consequences as for us regular folk.
Will need to publicly apologize to Chris. But Chris need to apologize too.
