Ghetto. Just pure ghetto

Good thing Rock didn't call Will's hoe a b!tch.

[BitWielder1]

That was my first thought when I heard about the fight, it was to make someone watch the darn show.

[Bikkuri]

With the rate morality is falling on Tv, I would almost expect fisting.

[Kevmo]

If it was real, it upholds violence as acceptable. If it was staged, it upholds violence as acceptable. Upholding the worst negative aspects of a culture is... fracked up.

From my home page:

___________________________________________________________________

Culturism.

The problem isn't racism. Race cannot be changed. The problem is Culture. Culture is the thing that can be changed. None of us, including obambam, and others can change the color of their skin but we can change our culture we choose to uphold. The key is to uphold positive aspects of our own and others' culture, and reduce the negative aspects.

Some cultures are superior to others. An example is San Diego vs. Tijuana. They're 5 miles apart, separated by a simple fence. On one side is a shiitehole and on the other is a pleasant enough place to live. Same climate, same location, the only difference is that fence that separates 2 distinct cultures -- one of which millions of people clamor to get into and the other of which people try to get out of.

Even obambam is culturist: "Parents have to... eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white." ~Barack Obama , 2004 Democratic National Convention

Serenity prayer approach to racism:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change like Race

the courage to change the things I can like Culture

the wisdom to know the difference like the difference between Race and Culture.

Too bad it wasn’t Rob Reiner he slapped

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

LOL! Doh! That would have been the end of his career

[RummyChick]

Rock has been given an after care package..whatever that is...

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Can you imagine what would have happened if Will Smith was white? Without even guessing, without a scintilla of doubt he would have been busted on assault charges, he would be compared relentlessly in the democrap propaganda media as a racist KKK slave owner, and his career utterly destroyed forever.

Next year they’ll have to have some Dynasty style catfight amongst the contestants of the Best Supporting She/Her Pronoun Actor category.

[dragonblustar]

Perhaps, I any case, the message is clear. It’s OK and cool to smack a loud mouth bully. Hollywood might have just unleashed a monster… or one would hope.

[Tenacious 1]

They will have to go farther next year. What about lesbian wrestling?

If it were "little people" wrestling, I might have to watch.

[Louis Foxwell]

It is assault. Charges ought to be filed.

[Tenacious 1]

“Chris was immediately supported backstage and has been offered a package of after care where he can talk to professionals provided by the academy if needed."

Hilarious. "We can bring you to a safe room and have a counselor talk to you about this incident."

[metmom]

Why is this fiasco worth so much bandwidth on FR ???????

Has FR sunk so low as to actually make this a topic of such debate?????

What with all that’s going on in the world, FReepers are obsessed with something so shallow?

[Bob434]

Yes he did- they likely had to do some serious hollywood majic to make it appear like he was a fighter-

[House Atreides]

“Good thing Rock didn’t call Will’s hoe a b!tch.”
***********************************

Or call Will’s bitch a ho!

[Bob434]

[[“Chris was immediately supported backstage and has been offered a package of after care where he can talk to professionals provided by the academy if needed.]]

Likely a group of therapists to ‘help cris deal with the fake slap’ lol

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

TOTALLY AGREE metmom, these people need to be completely ignored I don’t give a damn what they do or what happened at the Oscars which I haven’t watched in over 25 years!! We make a deliberate choice not to watch their utter garbage YET people bring it here and shove it in our faces!!

[Whatever Works]

I still won’t watch it and I still don’t care.

[PghBaldy]

Those are stunning numbers, in comparison. I watched bits of the show, and every time I tuned in, it was about black suffering or GLBTQ issues. I suppose they don’t even need viewers to help boost the nominated movies. They just need “buzz.”
