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

[UpNext]

How about a black man calling a black woman a bytch x12 in front of white people? How about a black man saying he was cheering for massa in front of white people?

Whoever is attributing words said in a stand up comedy to physicality clearly has never been in a real fight

nope...it's just a lame excuse. He didn't fight Will because he don't wanna fight Will. Why bring cacs into it at all? We all know the reason and he has pretty much stated that... so why lie?

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

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.

I think everybody understood what he was trying to say but rock's logic made no sense because the people who dissed will that he mentioned (breakfast club, etc) did it from far away. chris made a crack about his wife right in front of his face and he did something. if charlamagne said some shyt right to will's face and he did nothing then we'd know chris had a point

Chris Rock is truly corny to me

I never understood his appeal

Plus the soft shoe c00ning put me all the way off

The Oscars is a white show. Mostly white people are watching.

Nothing weird about it

You’re fighting in front of the world. Not just white ppl. It is televised.

 

[Ziggiy]

I’m surprised (or not surprised) people here never heard that saying before.

It’s definitely something American black parents used to tell their kids growing up.. don’t act up in front of white people. It will almost always be used against you at some point

Marlon Wayans made the best point of it in his standup. It was the first black directed, black produced, black hosted, black whatever type oscar all because of the backlash from the years before. With Will Smith winning the Oscar for best actor which has only been done 4 times by 3 black people (Denzel did it twice).

All for this shyt to happen. Basically taking 2 steps back from what it was before.



Black people don’t reall care about the Oscars but to black entertainers it’s important I guess

For a little context on why its important


Winning an Oscar generally does two things.


1).It leads to an increase in the box office gross of the film you starred in, produced, directed, etc. Movies that win the big ones at the oscars (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress) usually get re-releases off the hype of their winning

2). The salary of the actor usually increases DRAMATICALLY after winning. Examples include Jamie Foxx, after winning the Best Actor Oscar for Ray, was able to renegotiate his contract for the movie Miami Vice to include a salary increase (making him higher paid than co-star Colin Farrell) top billing, and use of a private jet instead of flying commercial. Halle Berry, after winning Best Actress for Monster’s Ball, was able to negotiate a $14 Million Dollar payday for Catwoman. Daniel Kaluuya, after winning Best Supporting Actor for Judas & The Black Messiah, was given his highest pay day to date of $4 Million for the film Nope.

Y'all know exactly what he's talking about.

Two black men fighting on stage at the Oscars (cac show) would have been horrible.

He's right but he doesn't need to say it that way, or at all.

Yea, I think most of us know what it means and where it comes from, but the spirit of the saying suggests the saying itself shouldn’t be said in front of white people either.

This, exactly.

The irony of the biggest Coli C00NS are calling Chris Rock a C00N.

 

[bigde09]

The Coli throwing around the word Co0n again

Is there something wrong with you? What part of this don't you understand. His excuse doesn't add up at all. He created an excuse about not fighting in front of cacs to disguise the fact that he would never defend himself against Will under any circumstance.

 

[Chip Skylark]

Well he made fun of Jada in front of white people

Called her a bytch in front of white people when she said herself she didn’t condone wills behavior

Yeah I doubt you'd ever in life get into a brawl on a worldwide television despite what's said to you and have enough sense to have restraint in that moment. You're just getting your shyt off on the internet. Go awf fam

By that same logic Chris made fun of Jada in front of cacs

 

[O.T.I.S.]

My father never taught me that shyt. and his family was raised in Jim Crow Louisiana.


He actually used his family past to teach all of us to stand up for each other by any means necessary.


so you can

And so did my family and I heard the saying often


Lets say me and my siblings go to the store and we loud, cussing, starting shyt, fighting with each other, etc… Especially a white-ish area or store.. how do you gonna think they will respond to any black people after that? They would’ve called police, security, anything. White people have ZERO issues snitching to anyone they view as a authoritative figure to you even if they create the issue.. been documented thousands of times already.

Thats why it’s called home training.. some shyt you’re taught at home on how to survive. Without it, it reinforces stereotypes that were in place to belittle or hold black people back


Basically.. don’t prove these white people right about you. fukk what they think in general, but this is the reality of the situation.

You don’t have to tapdance and kiss ass.. just don’t show them that they’re right about you.

Do you see any other minorities slapping each other up on a stage in front of the entire planet? Not really.

It was cool to know that even the rich black men are still black men at the end of the day but then and there wasn’t the place.
