MSNBC's Tiffany Cross offered the latest racial take on the Oscars slap during her Saturday show.
The "Cross Connection" host was the latest media figure to discuss actor Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards after the latter made a joke about the former’s wife. While Cross argued that people were "tired of talking about it," her panel, which included TheGrio columnist Michael Harriot and actress Yvette Nicole Brown, explained to viewers why White people should "sit this one out."
"It was about how Black people relate to each other," Harriot explained "It’s hard to explain to a White person what’s the difference is between an open-handed slap and a punch is, because they consider it all violent. It’s hard to explain that everyone, really, has a certain threshold for which they will react in a certain way — whether it is say something to their mother, their sister."
Brown agreed that the conversation is primarily something Black people need to discuss among themselves, but noted the Black community is not a monolith.

That explains why we should not care if they shoot each other to death in the hood
It’s also ridiculosis to discuss black crime and shooting in major cities by white folk as well...
In a few more years black Oscar night will include a drive-by shooting.
Of course, ... Everyone Knows, Only Negro Opinions Count.
In a conversation with or about Black people, White people add civility.
“Of course, ... Everyone Knows, Only Negro Opinions Count.”
That’s because it’s far easier to lower standards of behavior than to raise them.
It’s utterly ridiculous to pa attention to the Oscars.
Or is that too white privileged?
Oh, OK Tiffany. You’re right. We white folks will try to remember to keep our expectations low.
I have tried to look at this from the black perspective that she is preaching..which seems to be...violence is okay because it is black people who slap...or something..’
So if Bradley Cooper went up on stage and slapped Chris Rock the the outcry would have been deafening but it is okay because it was a black dude. So when the black dude slaps around his wife it is okay I guess.
When these bigots want our opinion they’ll beat it out of us.
Is Tiffany so stupid she doesn’t understand she just made the argument that black people are inherently more violent than white people???
The most openly and unapologetically racist/racialist people in the US are progressive, leftist black people.
This cretin Cross is proof of that.
Hey Tiff! I will talk about whomever whenever and as long as I wish to talk about them. White, black, brown, yellow, green, purple, whatever. Get that? None of your business, so just put a sock in it, okay? This will probably destroy your self esteem, but most of us have never heard of you nor do we care what your opinions are. Thanks!
You are finally...FINALLY!...getting the picture. /s
It’s a man, who was an idiot. Race not included.
And if you’re gonna hit another man, you punch them! Not slap like a little girl!
I’m with her. I. Don’t. Care.
Good point.
