He is a prankster/comedian, he is white, it's a red carpet event that's not the source awards. Will keeps that same energy
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

Will would not have done that shyt against a white comedian.
Joke was corny and light anyway.
Chris Rock wouldn't have made fun of a white actor's wife either
And rumor has it he tried to smash years ago and she turned him down so now it's personal with him.
its not that. its the word black. if jared leto throws down with brad pitt, its not 2 white men fighting on stage its 2 fools fighting on stage. same applies when black. the only people that make it seem otherwise are racists, and we're not that and thus should not view it that way. its not 2 black men fighting, its will smith slapping chris rock, discussion over. its not will smith slapping in front of white people. its will smith slapping in front of people. they are not special. he could have done it in lagos and it still would have been wrong.
I knew the "special" was going to be trash when gimmicks were involved (having a live feed for a damn comedy special like breh get real). The thing with Rock is that he was the prototype for Chappelle. He's the pro black gimmick for white folks to go giddy over to be accepted on some "ally" shyt, but in reality like Chappelle, they ride with a clique of "n" word slinging cacs that wish for the "good ole days" of comedy.
Rock been moving funny style since 96 when he threw black folks under the bus with that "nikkas vs black people" nonsense. Hence, why him and Chappelle were buddied up on SNL because they broke bread with the game.
Just because you raise a fist with the jokes, doesn't mean you fight for the cause

It is not the same

Ummm, he's shytted on on plenty of cacs. This ain't it.

Black peoole vs nikkas is one of the classic skits in stand up history. He told it in black DC and killed in front of an all black audience because they knew exactly what he meant.
It wasn’t till decades later when these new brittle nikkas came around that that bit started getting criticism.
I read the comments in this section and behind the black militant posturing, all I see is just a bunch of broken, weak ass, brittle spirit mfkers who can’t take a joke.
Some of you nikkas are straight up embarrassing. I pray none of y’all are generation X and I’m talking to a bunch of frail millennials and Zummers. If I was y’all uncles, I’d punch y’all in the chest and tell you to man up. Y’all sounding like some entitled white females.

Chris got brothers too. Trust if he wanted to get Will he could have.Shyt Tony Rock could have found him. Chris wasnt thinking about white people when he got smacked, he was thinking $$.

Marlon Wayans said the same exact thing on his HBOMax special to damn near a standing ovation . We know what he’s talking about .
I want to like Chris Rocks stand ups but his jokes are cringy. This is another example of that. He ain't been shyt since the 90s/early 2000's

So Netflix Thought It Was Ok To Pay Chris Rock $40m For That Anti-Black Rant?

As the fallout from Chris Rock’s Netflix special “Selective Outrage” continues, the discourse makes more and more interesting turns. Celebrities are embroiled over differing opinions over whether words are just “jokes” or if comedians should be held accountable for what they say.
We saw the same kind of dialogue swirling following Dave Chappelle’s 2021 special, The Closer, which was deemed controversial almost immediately due to his insensitive words about trans people. And seeing as conservatives are literally working to get rid of that extremely vulnerable population, we need to acknowledge that words have influence and power.
A 2016 report from The Hollywood Reporter showed that “Selective Outrage” was part of a $40 million deal he made with Netflix; it called for two separate stand-up specials. In addition, it comes five years after Rock’s first Netflix comedy show entitled “Chris Rock: Tamborine.”
not only is he digging this up to stay relevant but a lot of yall are proving you learned nothing in these past few years #chrisrock #comedyspecial #oscars

So the streaming giant paid him that much money to make colorism jokes, repeatedly call Black people out of their name (especially Black women) and say that liberals have gone too far when it comes to fighting for equality and inclusion? If a non-Black comedian used the same material, de-platforming them wouldn’t even be a question. Rock should be held to the same standard.
When he ended last weekend’s set—which was the first live streamed event in the history of Netflix—he said that the reason he didn’t hit Smith back after he joked about Jada Pinkett-Smith is because he was raised to not fight in front of white people. But as many people pointed out on social media, he deems it acceptable to humiliate Black women in front of white people.
Ultimately, Rock—and the places that air his “humor”— need to be called out. One user on TikTok, @jordxn.simon, eloquently noted how disturbing it is that Rock believes “it is ok to make fun of Black people, specifically Black women, specifically Black sick women, in front of white people and the Oscars co-signed it and celebrities co-signed it and a lot of y’all are co-signing it.”
However, despite the criticism and backlash Chappelle received, he has gone on to win several awards—including a Grammy for The Closer—and host “Saturday Night Live.” We are aware that Rock probably won’t face any consequences for what he has said but it’s wrong to stay silent about its impact.
He got 10 mill for that special seeing as it was a two part dealnfor 20 million.
