THE “WILL SMITH SLAPPED CHRIS ROCK” MEGA THREAD

[King Sun]

Man never in a million years did I think white people would turn their back on fukking Will Smith lol . Will Smith is a prime example of why respectability politics is just a concept not based in reality

 

[UberEatsDriver]

What are you talking about

Black society and Hollywood is behind Will

It’s only Whiteboys, c00ns and White Adjacents gunning against Will


We meant to be upset y’all who can’t even fit in with Black society in the first damn place ain’t gonna back Will

Wtf are you talking about because you just made all that up.

we are literally in a thread right now where a black man who is not a c00n is roasting Will




Lmao @ fit into black society. Trust me I have no issues fitting in. I would put money that you probably overweight and can’t dress talking about fitting in.

And the end of the day none of that means shyt as he’s still at the mercy of the Hollywood Execs just like everyone else hence him apologizing. Those Hollywood Execs aren’t going to forget that situation and you’d be naive to think that it won’t effect people after Will.

He ruined the night for other celebrities after him who won as his antics completely took the air out of the room and attention away from their moment as that’s what everyone was focused on. If I was Questlove, I’d be pissed as he will never get that type of moment again nor will he ever come close to being on the level of Will to get those opportunities.

Who said Will wasn’t at the mercy of Hollywood execs? I said that Will didn’t owe anyone who gave him an opportunity early in his career anything because he’s already paid them back with his resounding success as well as his subsequent efforts to give back and in turn afford opportunities to other black directors, actors, and producers.


Will Smith apologized to exactly who he SHOULD have apologized to. Nobody else deserves shyt and again, if This ONE instance of bar behavior is going to be an excuse to affect the awards opportunities for other black actors then that is simply an excuse by the Academy to further perpetuate racism and should be called out.


Questlove can be mad if he wants, Questlove didn’t have his wife insulted. Will Smith’s actions, for better or worse, wrong or right, had nothing to do with Quest.

All of this “such and such” was embarrassed and offended is a lot of much ado about nothing. Like I said the only people who have a right to be really mad with Will are Chris Rock and Will Packer. Everybody else is really irrelevant as they weren’t the ones who were insulted.

What's the problem with what he said?

 

[Take It In Blood]

Elaborate and explain why you feel this way... Please.

its an innate feeling

the reaction the world is currently giving is imo exactly what they both wanted

and neither will admit it was orchestrated until like a decade from now in a tell all book.

In that one moment they got a billion dollars worth of publicity, Chris Rock's next tour will sell out and Will's manhood stock rises in public opinion after getting publicly embarrassed by his wife and kids for a decade.

Chris Rock can't press charges because if the police get involved they'll probably see text messages between him and Will that were sent before and after the "event" and he'll be the next Juicy Smollet.

brehs from the future will see this post and be like

"he was right all along"

I mean this is Hollywood, they been trying to tell Americans how to live forever. They are judgmental as fukk but don’t live their morals. I’m not shocked they are going after Will. A black man in Hollywood is already a target. So it’s only going to get worse.

As I said in my previous post jokingly. How can a wounded shark be surprised that other sharks are feeding on it when its bleeding in the ocean. This is how entertainment is always and especially when you are black.

Thats why I said how stupid this was when you look at how Janet and Kanye were treated after the incidents at the superbowl and awards show (taylor swift incident). How many times you got to see your own cannibalized by the media and industry over dumb shyt multiple times and not say naw ain't gonna be me...sorry.

ESPECIALLY when you literally do business everyday with sharks and piranhas in your field. Its like working with criminals and surprised they snitch on you when they get busted.

Will has defended and praised Jim Carrey in the past too. Carrey is a comic though, they are always gonna defend comics.

That’s not Questlove’s or anyone else in that building’s problem that Will got offended by the joke. Handle that shyt at the after party where you could easily find him and offscreen. That wasn’t the time or the place for Will to handle his emotional issues and the fact that he was partying it up after makes him look even more foolish.

Don’t fukk it up for everyone else and yourself just because you can’t keep your emotions in check. He’s lucky that Chris Rock doesn’t sue him and he’d have every right to do so as not being able to handle a joke shouldn’t lead to assault on live television in front of millions.

It was assault regardless of how you spin it.

Also goes back to the line about.....know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run.

This is wild and out of all people Jim Carrey got something to say

 

[Clayton Endicott]

The only thing this fool should be tweeting about right now is his bracket or some bullshyt about Ukraine. He definitely doesn't need to be commenting on anyone's behavior

Look I don't know how true any of what I read was true. But I know one thing people in power and especially folks in hollywood hold grudges for a long long long time. Hell Monique even said how she was blackballed because she didn't thank certain people at the oscars.

I don't put it past any of them hollywood big wigs especially execs holding a grudge against Will. For all we know some of them execs might even have grudges against Will for years and have been waiting for the right time...I hope that is not the case. But man all this shyt could have been avoided.

What Will did was bytch ass shyt. I'm not mad at anybody who had a problem with what he did. The real issue is how far are they going to take it tho?

 

[Dynamite James]

Didn’t Jim Carey knowingly give his ex herpes? That sounds spineless to me

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Comics are getting like reporters with their self righteousness. Sad to see Jim Carrey go out like this. As for Alec Baldwin; he's called his own daughter a pig, had his own public altercations and shot a woman to death on the set of a movie. Howard Stern is Don Imus at this point. I can't believe he's still on the air. Isn't he pushing 70?
