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

        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.

        Education is extremely important.

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

            Good takes in this video. Acho (the guy on the right) is a compelling speaker.

              Cuckold Will Smith apologized today on Instagram, this time including Rock in the apology.

              Link to video

              So, first he missed his opportunity to apologize to Rock last night during his acceptance speech, and now he missed his opportunity to acknowledge that mistake. I am sure in future interviews he will apologize for that too. His lag time between screw-up and apology is probably one public appearance, after which his publicist can coach him up. The man is a pure punk, terrified of owning his own mistakes. No wonder his wife cuckolded him.

              Education is extremely important.

                  Two things I don't understand is why security didn't stop him, and also why he wasn't kicked out, or at least taken away to somewhere quiet to calm down.

                  If somebody did this in a comedy club after been insulted by the comedian, they'd be kicked out and most likely arrested.

                  I was only joking

                    Oh, no...we don't get off that easy. I'm a racist for supporting Smith. Or Rock. Either one. Doesn't matter.

                        I'm pretty ashamed of my freaking hair. Hers looks way better than mine does at this point.

                        Many middle-aged white men have been in my shoes. And it has to be said they're pretty smelly shoes.

                          Because it was will smith, and also everyone was trying to figure out if it was part of the act

                                    The Academy says it asked Will Smith to leave the award ceremony after the slapping incident but Will Smith refused to leave, says it is starting disciplinary proceedings against Will Smith.

                                      I bet maybe a producer came up to Smith at one point and asked if he wanted to leave the ceremony, and I strongly doubt anyone actually asked Smith to leave. Again, for a while people didn't know if Rock/Smith had a rehearsed bit, plus Smith was a favorite to win an award later in the show.
