Smith’s wife has hair. She shaved it down. She’s been saying her hair is thinning. Many women have thinning hair and a few bald spots, and they wear wigs or hairpieces. Smith’s wife opted to shave her head, and she said she feels great with her head shaved. Rock said he was looking forward to GI Jane II. The GI Jane character was portrayed as a strong woman to be admired. What he said was not offensive or derogatory in any way.

“So true. He’ll never unpack that for the rest of his career.”

Nah. Alec Baldwin killed someone on set, in front of witnesses and wasn’t even arrested for it. Compared to that, Smith’s actions are nothing.

“What kind of limp wristed pansy open hand slaps another man? Either go all in with a punch or sit down and shut up!”

He would have been more effective had he grabbed the mic and trashed Chris Rock. But, if he were going to do what he did, he should have punched him.

Just imagine if President Trump had gone to the White House Press Correspondents (Roast) Dinner and did something similar. Bigger than Pearl Harbor.

If the stories of Pinkett-Smith sleeping around are true, and flaunting it in front of her husband; Will slapped the wrong person.

Blacks acting to type

Why does he think that Will Smith’s actions reflect on the black community?

Isn’t it racist to judge someone by their skin color?

This is an multimillionaire celebrity who lacks self control. Nothing more.

“Primarily, they are Black”

Living in the south my whole life I can assure you many many blacks I have come into contact with, worked with and went to school with absolutely put their race ahead of EVERYTHING.

Haha! I read somewhere (probably the BEE) that Chris is going to "smooth things over" with Smith by sleeping with Smith's wife>

lol!

Will is bisexual and plays with young men. Why all of this assuming about his “masculine” pride?

BTT!

Kareem is an idiot, and this screed was nothing more than an opportunity for him to feign concern for blacks while denigrating conservatives!

FKA-J!

I don't remember Jabbar writing an article after his son Adam stabbed a neighbor several times with a hunting knife during an argument last October. The 60 year old victim was stabbed in the head, suffered a fractured skull, and almost died before help arrived. The son got 6 months in jail.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s son, Adam, sentenced for stabbing neighbor

"Do all blacks behave like this? Of course not."

Jabbar's son stabbed a neighbor several times last October. See my post at #76.

I hope the victim sued his attacker into oblivion.

On a side note....I find it a little ironic and even more hypocritical that a muslim would name their kid Adam.

Good point! Jabbar has kids with at least three women. This one is Adam's mother:

Funny how black athletes gravitate to white women......easier to control and less chance of being slashed with a straight razor in their sleep I guess.
