The great word here is ‘respect’. Tony Rock makes good sense. I agree with that. Thanks for posting.
What happened to respect of all kinds?
Was Will Smith wrong to defend his wife? No, but he could have let his anger known in a different way.
It’s good drama! Look how much play that slap got!
He wasn’t defending his wife. He laughed at the joke, then instantly turned vicious. Then there was that godawful, maudlin apology speech he gave. He ain’t right in the head.
