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

[Sbp]

And its funny cause that's what he said at the beginning of the set. "Will Smith is a big guy, I'm a small dude. He even played Ali. He always does movies with his shirt off, I've NEVER done a movie with my shirt off."

The truth is he was scared of Will. And the truth is, Will knew it which is why he punked him like that.

But Chris trying to take all of that back at the end and do a mic drop saying "I didn't fight back cause my mama taught me to never fight in front of white ppl" was some weird stuff.

I wasn't feeling that last line either. He could've chosen better words for that one. Don't fight in front of company/ don't act up in public. Or something like that. He still put on a helluva show though.

I think we all know what he’s REALLY trying to say


And the fact remains that that statement would have been more powerful and impactful had there not been readily available video of him sitting around cackling happily while a room of white people call him a N I G G E R.


It is what it is. He’s practicing “Selective Respectability Politics”. If your going to have a code around white people, STICK to that code.


I completely understand Chris Rock not wanting to act a fool at the Oscars. Him and Will fighting on that stage would have unleashed a FIRESTORM of racism and outward prejudice the likes of which probably haven’t been seen in Hollywood in decades. It would have been a TERRIBLE look for black men. The media would have used Chris and Will as avatars for the “savagery” of every black man, boy, and baby whose ever existed. Jamele Hill, Amanda Diva, and the rank and file members of the “She-Woman Black Male Haters Club” would have been unleashed to spew every misandrist, horrid, wild thing they ever DREAMED of saying. shyt would have been awful.

Chris Rock actually did the “right” thing in the moment. But the optics look bad highlighting why you did it when you never disavowed that video

Absolutely.

That video of him with cacs saying ****** tho is

These comedians be on some shyt at times. ALL OF EM.

 

[jadillac]

Nah. You don’t fight in front of anyone.

You keep that ish within your community. You not suppose to put whites on a pedestal and say “don’t fight in front of white ppl”

That was weird.

It's a freaking joke.

Y'all over analyzing everything. You think in that instant moment of supreme shock and embarrassment his first thought was, "oh there's white ppl here...."

No,it's a joke

 

[Stuntone]

Belieive it or not, Black people use to be the Classiest, Proudest, Most Honorable people in this damn Country. Now we're shameless, we have no Honor.


Ya'll so lost and dumb. All older Black People were raised to look and behave better out in public.


I was raised to be better than White People. Act Better than White People. Out do White Folks. That's what he meant.


We don't need to be out here looking stupid. But we don't care no more.

 

[Capital Steez]

Yall missed the joke. Will Smith practiced selective outrage. People were shytting on him and he had no smoke for them, but when a nikka who he KNEW he could beat made one joke he took the chance to take all his anger out on him. That is low testosterone energy. Chris also knew he'd look stupid trying to fight against a nikka he can't beat in front of an audience of cacs. Our dysfunction or beef should not be their entertainment.

How many people had smoke for Will in his face though? Chris thought it was sweet and found out it wasn’t. Point blank.

 

[Red Money]

If Chris Rock was white....whole conversation shifts all things remaining the same.

And who cares what you internet clowns would have done to Will? Why y'all care so much that Chris Rock was shocked and didn't even have a verbal response at the Oscars.

And How come no one else ran up on Chris since his supposed manhood is in question? Why ain't no one testing Chris everytime he step out the house?

 

[xCivicx]

That was a weird saying but I took it as don't entertain white people by acting a fool

Acting a fool for white people is his entire career in a nutshell though

 

[Umoja]

What's funny is how Chris' stock continues to drop the more he opens his mouth.

Could just be my social circle but the general feeling is that he is a c00n. The focus is put on him not considering the people laughing at his jokes and being used as a mouthpiece for white people.

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

I think a lot of people misunderstood Chris Rock's statement. Him fighting Will at the Oscar's would have elevated the negative perception of black men even further than the slap.

Chris stock isn’t going down one iota

We have to be able to look outside our personal circles. Chris Rock is one of the three most famous comedians on earth next to Chappelle and Kevin Hart, thats going to give him certain cache. Besides that these companies see dollar signs and Chris still brings the money. The special topped Netflix most watched list

Chris Rock ain’t going nowhere. His shows still gonna sell out and plenty of black people support him.

 

[TEH]

Chris has been talking shyt about white people and calling out racism his entire career you simple minded idiots. I really don’t know how people can be so fukking stupid sometimes.

You just proved

Selective outrage

 

[TEH]

A nikka talkin about your bytch like that in public is a misunderstanding now?.


You can’t tell another man how to react to his wife even if she the worst ho.



Chris lucky he just got smacked.

So we’re back at this now

Defending your woman

These females will get you killed and have another man a day after your funeral


Smarten up

I can relate to what he said, and I instantly knew what he meant. Fighting each other in front of White people reassures them that we will never have unity. And it gives them confidence they could over take us if they really wanted to.

The other reason is, you don't entertain them with more Black on Black violence. They see enough of that as it is.

 

[African Peasant]

He did the right thing.

Yeah. He cares about putting on a united front. That's why he uses his platform to shyt on Black people and doesn't check white people for saying ******.

He's a c00n. Just accept it.
