To be honest, at the time I did not have a problem with the joke either for all of the reasons that you mentioned. I could care less about the Oscars and don't need them to recognize our talent. However, looking back, it does seem like a weak move by Chris to step in and host it that year. He helped kill the momentum of the boycott and probably allowed himself to be used by the Oscars. They clearly brought him that year to have a black face to calm the Negros down. I could see why Will, Jada and others may feel a way about that.
Will Smith just slapped the fuck out of Chris Rock (update) Will banned for 10 years from Oscars

LIKE WILFORD BRIMLEY SAID ABOUT QUAKER OATMEAL......"IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND THE TASTY WAY TO DO IT."
I'm riding with Chris on this slap shit. Will is a straight ho bitch and that's coming from a fan. But, all things considered, I can understand this point of view.
That's what I'm worried about. Them overreating to all the negative press.
I think a ban would play better with the public than removing his Oscar. They're all about optics. It could get racial if they take his award. Banning him wouldn't if I'm guessing.
Yo, I asked another class today did they feel like Will was justified in his action. Most of the girls said yes.
Then I said, what if some guy disrespected you and your man stood up to the guy to “defend your honor” but he ends up getting his ass kicked. How would you feel then? One girl said, “at least he tried.”
Then I said, and you expect your man to be the same person after getting his ass kicked for you?I said trust me, “he isn’t going to be the same person after getting his ass kicked.”
Then I said, what if the other guy shot your man? Are we still going with the “at least he tried response?”
Boy, I was laughing so hard at that I couldn’t get started teaching after that.
Then, I said what if your man shot the other guy and ends up in jail? Y’all going to wait around or are you going to tell the next guy your dating your ex is to 20 to life for “defending your honor.”
All of them girl said that ain’t waiting around.
Now, to clarify, these questions were based on the assumption the disrespectful guy used words only and never physically touched the girl.
great teachable moment
My mom alway said a Stupid women will get her man killed. Don’t be stupid over a woman. She even told my sister not to get her brother involved in her shit, unless it was life or death situation
ROASTING COMICS, MEAN SPIRITED COMICS and CROWD WORK COMICS are now on notice.... you don't know who the fuck youre talking about so just be careful...and that no heckling rule is just pussy.
I told the guys in class to take note of what these young ladies just said. They ain’t waiting around.
I also told them, they don’t have to deal with the consequences for “defending their honor.”
I thought it was a good teachable moment as well. Your ma’dukes ain’t lie one bit.
If the boycott was compromised by the self-serving, entitled interests of the Pinkett-Smiths, then I see no violation of it by Chris Rock. Either it's tainted or it's not. A movement started by Jada? It's Chris' choice whether or not to take part in the ceremonies. He and a whole bunch of other Black folks didn't stay home. We could debate whether Chris participation made him a sellout. But I won't. I think there's good points to be made on either side of that argument. I can see why Will and Jada didn't like what he said too. Who would? It was scathing.
But if that is what partially prompted Will to jump up out of his seat and run up onto the stage and hit a brotha, then it only underscores his need for psychological help to get his shit together. His refusal to leave when the Academy told him he had to go, speaks as much to his sense of entitlement as the act that caused them to tell him to go.
I fully agree. But then the metoo faggits will come out with the "poor Jada and her hair condition". Althought I think Chris could easily sue the Academy for security not doing anything about the assault. They didn't even kick Will out.
Not that the Oscar means anything anymore....he shitted all over that
Only thing mean something is that 400 m's....got dam he got loot...brah
I do not disagree with any of the above. I too will not go down the sellout route with Chris. I only bring it up to show that there was a perfect storm of events that took place over several years which resulted in that slap. There are so many people (not you) trying to use this incident to make larger statements about race, masculinity, misogyny, celebrity etc. when at the end of the day this nigga just snapped. Plain and simple. Will went through and put up with a bunch of bullshit for a long period time and in that moment he handled his anger and frustration in the worst way possible. This incident does not speak to any of these larger societal issues, this was a unique 1 of 1 event.
On another note, did not realize he refused to leave when asked. That mistake will likely lead to him being banned from the Academy. However, I cannot see them taking the oscar from him, not if Roman Polanski and Mel Gibson still have theirs.
Will Smith may face "suspension" or "expulsion" from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for slapping Chris Rock during Sunday's Oscars. The Board of Governors of the body that oversees the Oscars held an emergency meeting to discuss repercussions for the King Richard star, who just won his first golden statue. According to a new statement on Wednesday, the Academy asked Smith to leave the ceremony but he "refused." The organization admitted they botched the handling of the incident.
"The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy,s Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy," the Academy statement begins.

Will Smith refused to leave Oscars after Chris Rock slap: Academy
Motion Picture Academy issues a new statement about Will Smith as disciplinary proceedings begin.
Your mom is a wise woman. I don't know you or her personally, but that word of advice alone would save countless men from ass whoopings, jail time and/or even death.
My grandfather used to say never trip off what a woman does. You can always find another one. He also said don't end up in jail over some woman because she'll be loving the next guy while you sitting in a cell crying.
A threesome with these two on a pile of their money would be heaven.

Will Smith refused to leave Oscars after slapping Chris Rock, broke conduct code, Academy says
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences said Wednesday that Will Smith was asked to leave Sunday's Oscars after hitting Chris Rock but refused.
All we have to go on is what we've seen. None of us really knows everything going on in Will's personal life, and little about what goes on in his mind besides what he might care to share. Because of that, I agree with you that this doesn't speak to larger societal issues except maybe the entitlement of the rich. People are speculating why he went so far as to hit Chris. Neither you or I nor anyone but Will knows what all prompted that.
I think he'll be banned too and I agree that they won't take his Oscar.
Will Smith sent out the Thunder Cat signal for all the cucks, simps, and soft ass niggas out there.

. He can keep that bullshit ass Oscar the ceremony was dying anyway 2nd lowest ratings in their history it's pretty much a Source Award now.
A viral image of the altercation between Chris Rock and Will Smith has been digitally altered, fact-checkers report
A digitally altered image of Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards circulated on social media following the show, fact-checkers report. The altered image makes it falsely appear as though Chris Rock was wearing a cheek pad when actor Will Smith approached him on stage and slapped him, Reuters says. Fabricated statements attributed to Chris Rock were shared on social media after the ceremony, per Reuters. According to AFP, a photo collage showing celebrities' reactions is from 2017, when the wrong film was announced as Best Picture winner.
"What’s the most likely explanation for why that viral image looks like there’s something on Chris Rock’s left cheek? There are two likely possibilities. The first is that someone deliberately photoshopped the image to make it look like there’s a prosthetic on Rock’s face. And that’s entirely possible. People are making fake images all the time, sometimes as jokes that get stripped of context when they’re passed around online, other times to intentionally deceive." — Gizmodo
"The other, and perhaps more likely, possibility is that someone used an 'artificial intelligence' app in a naive attempt to get a better image. Apps like Remini are available for iPhone that allow people to 'scale up' an image, but unsophisticated internet sleuths can easily misunderstand how they work." — Gizmodo
Comedy gold. I can't wait till one of these monkey strung sensitive crackhead muthafuckas run up on stage and get a tall glass of AKRITE ice cold, fresh out the tap.
