Oscars co-host Wanda Sykes slams Academy for allowing Will Smith to stay in the theater after slapping Chris Rock: 'It was sickening. I felt physically ill and I'm still a little traumatized by it'

Oscars co-host Wanda Sykes slammed the Academy, calling their actions 'gross' for allowing Will Smith to remain in the theater Sunday night after he slapped Chris Rock, a display she said made her feel 'physically ill.'

'It was sickening,' Sykes said in a televised interview on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show. 'I felt physically ill and I'm still a little traumatized by it.'

Smith, 53, stunned the audience at Dolby Theatre and millions of television viewers at Sunday night's Oscars when he marched onto the stage and slapped Rock, 57, after the comedian made a bald joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who has spoken publicly about losing her hair due to alopecia.

When Smith returned to his seat, the 'King Richard' star yelled at Rock, 'Keep my wife's name out your (expletive) mouth.'

Less than an hour later, Smith won the Best Actor award for his portrayal of Richard Williams - father of tennis legends Serena and Venus.

Has anyone heard from Chris rock. Wonder if there is a law suit coming. Likely talking to his camp. Will smith is worth 350 million. Poor Chris rock only worth a small 60 million.

I wish he would sue the arrogant bully. Think of how it would play out for
Chris Rock if he won big settlement and donated it all to alopecia charities.

Wasn’t Wanda Sykes a sideline reporter for NFL games many years ago? A “slap” doesn’t compare with the contact and injuries that she would have observed up close. But I guess she wants to play the drama queen.

It’s hard to guess who that may be. I’ve never been terribly entranced, but a lot of people are into Chappelle these days, so it could be him. Whoever it is, is 100% correct, unless something dramatic is done to punish Will Smith, something that is NOT cowardly ‘walked back’ 12 hours later in fear of BLM, this will signal Open Season on any stand up comic.

Will has some very deep problems and a profound sense of detachment. He thinks he is untouchable.
Fine behavior for someone who used to be a Scientologist!
Aren’t they devoted to what is logical?

It was a felony on live TV. Staged or not. If it was staged, it upheld the most negative elements of black culture violence. If it was real, it upheld the most negative elements of black culture violence.

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.

Her retarded buddy, Schumer, also says she was “triggered” and “traumatized” by “the Slap”. These are symptoms of idiots who have problems trying to face reality. They live in a Princess and unicorn world full of sexual deviants.

“Has anyone heard from Chris rock. Wonder if there is a law suit coming. Likely talking to his camp. Will smith is worth 350 million. Poor Chris rock only worth a small 60 million.”

Rock’s tour has sold out overnight and tickets went from $60 bucks to $700 bucks, so would be hard to sue for damages ...

Hey, Wanda, call Stanley Steamer for the Hillary Clinton special.

You’ll feel much better.

Rock doesn’t get a piece of the profit from scalpers.

And it will be fairly easy to calculate damages...it’s just a matter of how much at this point. Look at how people who did not get slapped are traumatized by the events.

He has several years to sue. he will have to wait to see what physical and mental damages accrue as well as career damages. A sold out tour right after an event doesn’t mean he won’t get blackballed depending on what happens.

I wonder what Chris Rock COULD sue for?

He could claim it was a staged event and that Will Smith had agreed to pay him oh, say $20Mil for bein’ able to slap him on live TV and didn’t pay it. The slap was evidence of the existing contract, so Will’s gotta pay up?

He could claim it was simply an act of violence which damages the community of black folks who are desperately trying to find ways of exiting this culture that upholds stupidshiite violence. He could make some headway with that one. Maybe.

He could challenge Will Smith to a cage match, the winner to get a check for his favorite charity from the luzer. In Smith’s case he would get a check for the apoplexia Foundation, or whatever-the-hell disease his wife has. In Rock’s case he could get a check for some Foundation-against-violence-that-black-people-engage-in or whatevs.

Maybe they all decided to jump on Will, because they suddenly remembered Trump appeared on an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Not sure what you saw but I saw a large man stalk up to another and slap him so hard his jaw was crooked and proceeded to scream at him with obscenities while people watched without stopping any of this.

And whatever.

Live in your violent, reckless and unchecked world. I prefer a much more civilized existence.
