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.

I agree with her. WHite people shouldn’t HAVE to understand her community. Most of the violence in the US is centered around her community. I don’t give a rat rear end if they kill each other.......as long as they don’t breed fast than their efforts at self externmination.
Screw her community. I will stand will all the people, black, white, brown, red whatever who looked at Will Smith and said,.....what a jackass.
“”It was about how Black people relate to each other,””
following that “logic” white folks shouldn’t be allowed to make legislation that affects blacks, white cops shouldn’t be allowed to arrest blacks, white judges shouldn’t be allowed to judge blacks, whites shouldn’t be allowed on juries for black defendants, and blacks should be jailed only with other blacks in prisons staffed only with blacks ...
OK - how about this one: ?
‘Utterly ridiculous to center’ the way the USA is run around ‘opinions of Black folks’ After all, there are no black signers of the Declaration or Constitution.
See how STUPID that kind of statement is? After all the effort to become part of this country, now minorities want NOT to be a part of this country.
They say that like it's a bad thing.
Mostly we're "tan folks" or "buff folks".
Whoever said that needs a good slap.
Yes, they're both hurting to the tune of multi millions of dollars and fans—oh, but racism has ruined their lives!
Plus, her analogy about blacks not having a say at a white dinner party assumes that the Oscars is a black dinner party and the whites are minority observers. Uh, ...
It sounds like white people shouldn’t watch movies with black people in them. They can’t understand what the black actors are portraying.
I did not know that.
That’s why a lot of other blacks don’t want to even be around them.
My excellent neighbors from Africa are appalled by the African-Americans.
Yes . No more than a scuffle in a roadside diner. Who really cares.
What if Will Smith had slapped a white female comedian instead? What are the new boundaries?
The Academy should publically thank Chris Rock for showing verbal and physical restraint toward Will Smith. He could have said many other remarks and didn’t.
These cultural droppings in leftist media are comical irrelevant distractions. Wait until Americans sufficiently wake up and walk up to slap them upside the head.
