Whoopi otta know!

[dragonblustar]

On the positive note…. Nobody go shot…

[Lurker]

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.

[JaguarXKE]

Whoopsi is the poster girl (can I still say girl?) for behaving badly.

[BenLurkin]

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.

[dfwgator]

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.

[BigEdLB]

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

[gundog]

Whoopi’s net worth: $60 million
Chris Rock’s net worth: $60 million
Will Smith’s net worth: $350 million
Just keepin’ it real.

“Today show host Craig Melvin slams Will Smith for Chris Rock slap and stoking idea that ‘men of color can’t control anger’ - but Whoopi Goldberg DEFENDS him on The View, saying ‘sometimes you behave badly’”

Today show host Craig Melvin slams Will Smith for Chris Rock slap and stoking idea that ‘men of color can’t control anger’ - but Whoopi Goldberg DEFENDS him on The View, saying sometimes you behave badly but only if you’re a person of color

There, clarified it

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Try to imagine for a second what would happen if Will Smith were white. 1st he would have been arrested right there IN that auditorium, the Marxist propaganda media would be portraying him as a white supremacist KKK member who “whipped a black man”, he would have had his butt sued off by everyone involved in that show, and his career would have been utterly GONE forever.

[Dr. Ursus]

They wanted the ghetto Oscar’s so…………!

[Grampa Dave]

Without the slap, would anyone be talking about this non event?

[Bayard]

I anonymized it and this is what I got.

Chris Rock insults someone for their medical condition.

Husband of that person slaps Chris Rock.

Off screen I could’ve said it was a strange story but could’ve been justified. On screen it might have been staged, hard to say.

Its a tabloid story

[Dr. Sivana]

Whiter than white baseball player Steve Garvey punched whiter than whiter player Don Sutton purportedly for remarks Sutton made about Garvey’s “family”, and they were on the same team.

[Rummyfan]

...but Whoopi Goldberg DEFENDS him on The View, saying 'sometimes you behave badly'

Sure. And save your worst behavior for when you're on live TV, broadcast around the world, so you can yell threatening obscenities at someone - twice! How many years of these ceremonies being broadcast and this is a first.
