MSNBC host: 'Utterly ridiculous to center' Oscars slap discourse around 'opinions of White folks'

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.

Yet...the #OscarsSoWhite campaign in 2015/16 was aimed at white people. Now that it's #OscarsNotSoWhite, they want to deny what that entails.

The slap video belongs in those "You Had One Job" fail videos. Will Smith had one job; collect his award, and he failed at it.

See what happens when actors don't think and instead follow scripts and orders from a director? Sooner or later they follow the wrong one.

“Black people are more violent than all others.”

That’s why a lot of other blacks don’t want to even be around them.

What a ridiculous bunch of idiots. We all live in this society. Either we can agree on the basics, such a 50+ year old men should not be slapping each other on national broadcasts….or there won’t be a society.

I think “white folks” is another veiled insult, like crackas.

So it’s part of their culture to be violent?

“...”It was about how Black people relate to each other,” Harriot explained “It’s hard to explain to a White person ...”

OK

So, Chicago I’d normative...

Gotcha

These racists have really become tiresome. Their complaints are worn out and contrived.

Doesn’t keeping expectations low lead to soft bigotry? I heard that once. Can’t remember where or when.

Yep. Cross just said what the rest of us believe...they’d rather assault others to make their point instead of discussion or just letting something go.

If blacks are going to admit they aren’t actual people like everyone else, then I will cease discussing their actions as if they are people.

Otherwise, skin color means absolutely nothing in terms of commenting about this.

"It was about how Black people relate to each other,"

That explains why we should not care if they shoot each other to death in the hood

Need I say more?

Yeah right Tiffany, if your people could ever grow up and face reality the world would be a much better place.
