I was gon let this ride but this fool Chris Rock said he didn't fight back against Will Smith cause he was "raised not to fight in front of white ppl

[Ziggiy]

Yep I don’t condone Will’s actions but he got the message across CLEAR at that moment.

What I don’t fw when it came to the special is he kept coming for Jada instead of the nikka who slapped you after she said she didn’t condone that shyt neither. Literally on Chris’ side.

He called a Will a straight up bytch the reason he went at Jada is because Will was literally LAUGHING at the joke before he turned and saw her reaction then he snapped into He-Man Wife Saver and hit Chris.

Chris thinks this all stems from him not joining in the 2016 Oscar boycott (Jada) and Will being mad that the world was emasculating him during an awards season where he should have been celebrated as he was sweeping at every ceremony.


I understand the frustration on Will’s part. Last year I was telling the homie @spliz that it was fukked up how Will was getting roasted NONSTOP even though he was winning. They roasted Will the night he became only the FIFTH black actor to win at the BAFTA awards. Laverne Cox roasted him on the red carpet of the SAG awards, where he became only the FIFTH black actor to win Leading actor at that event. Dude was making history and couldn’t escape his wife’s infidelity’s. The oscars was the last straw


On the other hand I can understand Chris Rock’s anger. His joke was pretty mild by Chris Rock standards and he made no reference to “entanglements“ or anything of that ilk, and he got bytch smacked on LIVE TELEVISION by a dude he couldn’t have beaten if they DID square up to shoot the fade. I would have been fukking livid to be put in that situation and gotta think about the optics of two black men fighting on LIVE TELEVISION while a dude having a breakdown because he can’t control his wife’s public shaming tactics screams at me from the crowd.


Both situations were a powder keg waiting to erupt

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Only white people watching the Oscars really

Yeah, but it’s still being aired worldwide and discussed worldwide.

Only an unhinged weirdo like Will would have been down to scrap live on stage during the Oscars

Maybe Chris is soft or whatever but both of them fighting on stage would be devastating. Me personally we would have been fighting backstage or at some after party but I'm not a millionaire famous comedian.

This

If anything, handle it off camera. If you are gonna handle it on camera, do it with jokes when it’s your time. Will is not a standup comedian but I’m sure he has a couple comebacks loaded in the chamber.

But regardless, ALL of this started with Jada. Will was already burning slow because of all the opinions about his wife’s PUBLIC fukking AFFAIR. He should’ve stepped back from her, accepted his award, and worked on his stuff in private

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Another analogy to the “Not in front of white folks” shyt is this.. Would you put your personal home business out for the world to see?

If you and your chick are out in public having a personal argument, are you gonna do it in front of everyone in the mall or some shyt or are you guys going to wait until you get alone and air each other out?

OR

Would you fight in front of your children? Do you sit there and have serious and heated discussions in front of children or do you wait until you can be alone in private because children are impressionable?

Whether you do or do not is on you, but it’s pretty much the same concepts. Whether thats why Rock didn’t retaliate, i dont know.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Will Smith slapped Chris then TURNED his whole back on Chris,Fix his jacket etc. Chris cant throw hands with Will but he could have tackle him when his back was turned. When you are angry embarassed disrespected you dont give a damn about getting your ass whooped. Security would have came out fast if they saw Will&Chris tussling. I rock with Chris (no pun),but deep inside I think Chris is scared or highly intimidated of Will. As for fighting in front of whites cmon now. Its 2023 we aint in Jim Crow. These are 2 millionaires. There is an Oscar Party and there is backstage to handle your differences. Will got away with this 100% .

 

[Premeditated]

He didn't fight back because he was shock and he doesn't have the cojones. He was p*ssy. Stop lying Chris.

 

[Savvir]

is it oochie wally or one mic chris?

 

[HiphopRelated]

Yeah I get what hes saying,dont give cacs a show because they want to see black men fighting. But it feels weird without more context? Was he worried about being canceled for fighting,career ruined? And the mic drop is celebrating that his career wasnt ruined,because he listend to his mama? And Wills has been tarnished at least if not ruined?


Hes talking shyt about a black man and his wife in front of white people. So its kindve hard to say for sure what he means by that. Maybe he will elaborate more later

Chris consistently got the blackest audiences though

 

[Sad Bunny]

He was just julezing to lessen his L of being a grown man that’s scared to defend himself. Nothing to see here.

HE CALLED WILL A bytch
ABOUT 20 TIMES AND SPENT
ABOUT 40 SECONDS ON JADA.

[BulletProof]

Justify stereotypes when you're a sucess story that defied stereotypes to begin with.

I can tell who's really black by who heard this phrase for the first time Saturday night.

Besides, every marginalized group has taught this in some form even the white ones like the Irish, Italians, and Jews. You just replace white with the term upper class.

shyt looks weak.

 

[Marco Zen]

This is a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation. Rock was going to get criticized no matter what he did so he might as well handle it like he did.

nikkaz is really in this thread literally analyzing JOKES as if there was some hidden meaning or underlying confession

Coli nikkaz in here : "if you didn't get what he was really saying then you ain't black"..

Huhhhhh????




It was a fukkin COMEDY SPECIAL and not a psychoanalysis of Chris Rock. You were supposed to laugh not dissect the shyt then get emotional about it tf is wrong with nikkaz

​

He said everyone called him a bytch or something along those lines. I really don’t get it. Whatever though. A bytch slapped fukk out of you and you wait until later to call him a bytch. This whole situation is corny. Both sides.

 

[The_Sheff]

Y’all know what he meant. Means don’t give these crackas any extra ammo to use against you.

 

[IGSaint12]

Yet he gives them ammo all the time. This coming from him is disingenous at best. It's a right message but wrong messenger type of situation.

based on? And don't go back to nikkas vs black people. Chris Rock is probably the only comedian of his stature where his special material seems targeted for black audiences
