Academy Awards - Will Smith Edition
-
It wasn’t staged, for reasons Horace mentioned above. Rock probably thought a fake slap/punch was coming in good spirits, not the real deal.
Also Smith laughed at first prob because it was the normal thing to do on national television, and he also probably didn’t get the alopecia connection at first until he saw Jada’s face.

cnn blames trump
The left has bent over backwards to give black culture room for its macho male culture to grow unabated, resulting in Chicago and Baltimore murder numbers. It would be easy to blame that culture for this, but that would be ridiculous, since Will Smith is more of a pampered privileged princess than nearly anybody else in the world.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

One of my engineers (a woman) was out shopping with her boyfriend a few years ago and two guys made comments about her. The boyfriend confronted them and they stabbed him. He died right there in the shopping mall. They went down for murder.
This stuff can get bad really quick.
Which is why you carry a gun. Avoid trouble, but always be prepared to make sure the judge only hears one story.

You heard about Chris Rock getting examined, after the Oscars?
They found fresh prints.

I take the rent out of Mrs Cruz’s ass. Ted doesn't mind.

Nobody seems interested in the thought experiment about Rock getting slapped by a white actor. What do you all think? Race narrative media tsunami, or no big deal, because celebrity trumps race? I think a white actor would have been canceled, but the sick wife angle is admittedly compelling for public support.

Here's Dr Todd Grande's take, similar to mine:
