Thanks, Whoopie. I’ll remember that if I ever have the misfortune to run into you.

Well, we know what Ilhan Omar said about the 9/11 hijackers, so this should not be surprising.

Who looks at this and thinks “Yeah, it's all about skin color.”
Seriously. Who is so obsessed with race that it's the first think they think of?
It's a sickness.

Whoopi only dated white guys as far as I know.

'It was really disappointing,' Melvin said. 'If you're rearing a boy, especially in this country, you spend so much time talking to our kids about keeping your hands to yourself and this long health perception that man of color can't control their rage and their anger and to see someone who's been that beloved for decades - it was troubling on so many levels.'Exactly right. It perpetuates the narrative that Black men are thuggish and violent and not thoughtful or with the ability to abide by civil decorum standards.

I watched the video. Rock was just making a joke about Jada's hair looking like it could be a GI Jane 2 sequel. I've also seen the movie and Demi Moore' hair was the same buzz cut.
I think Smith over-reacted, if not staged.

This may not meet approval here, and frankly I don’t really care for either of Will Smith or Chris Rock, but if someone cracked a joke about my Mom when she had a serious illness (cancer), I’d have done a lot more than b##### slap the jerk. He’d have ended up in a hospital. So I do not hold this against Will Smith.

Yeah, he bitch slapped Rock. Insulting him in many ways. You notice the soy latte types are the ones in Hollywood protesting this the most. I hope next year brings snatching weaves and cat fights!

He let’s other men screw his wife, but not insult her?
Twisted set of values there.
To: A Navy Vet
Other FReepers have brought up the fact it might have been staged. I was thinking “if that is the way Will hits he’s a tad bit weak for a man”. I would have expected Will to have Rock on the floor after going up there but Rock seemed hardly affected.

Rock acted like a punk who wouldn’t DARE say the same thing to Smith and his wife off stage. He thought he had special “comics” immunity on stage there. He was wrong.

Cats are getting along with dogs…. I agree with Whoopi. Good for Will for defending his lady’s honor
