I hear ya but sometimes real nikkas don't have a moment to react logically and just uses real nikka violence to solve the problem then the regret comes in later but it's too late
Respect.

And when that happens; you call them out on the bullshyt.

I am not asking for Will Smith to be excommunicated from cinema. AT ALL.

I actually have sympathy for him. Mental health struggles can be the worst type of pain. (I know)

I find myself taking this Oscars situation so serious because it is deeper than Will and Chris. It's about relationships/engagement between black men.

In the court of black opinion, I just don't see how anyone can justify a black man - based off of previous public trauma NOT RELATED TO CHRIS OR ALOPECIA - straight emasculating another black man - who wasn't even joking on the entanglement shyt.

People talking about it was out of line. That is the biggest mystery for me. Compared to much of the hard hitting digs I've heard during awards shows; this was NOTHING.

Not only that; being compared to GI Jane is really not an insult.

Imma keep it real. How about not piling on and admitting while Will was wrong not let the crackas bury him for a single mistake in 3 decades. It was a slap and they lumping him in with pedos and serial rapists. And we helping them.

Let's tally this shyt up so far:

Will been apologizing for a week, had to quit the Academy before he got fired, and has gotten 2 projects (so far) put on hold.

Meanwhile Chris' ticket prices and sales are through the roof, even his brother got some shine off this, and this incident is going to stay in comedic rotation for at least the rest of the year.

Who really lost? :francis:

Your mum when she pushed you into the world :pacspit:

Okay.

But, I'm concerned about the black man who was SONNED.

I can't even fathom being sonned like that.

I'm am attorney. I have a family. I have property.

And even still, to this day, I'm actively trying to dismantle the type of "protect your manhood" mentality that has jammed many people up.

I mean it, I've had situations in the street where I have thrown all that shyt out the window because of some real disrespect.

(Not proud of that at all. It's actually a handcuffing experience.)

I say that to say, the thing Will did, had he done that to me...

I'd be on some scorch the earth shyt.

You don't publicly make me look like a bytch or take advantage of a situation to puff your chest out at my expense.

I feel we have a responsibility to keep discussing the damage to Chris and the violation by Will.

Young black boys do not need anymore fukkboy mentality seeping into the way they handle shyt.

My goal, in a confrontation, is ALWAYS to maintain a level of pride and respect being perceived of me by anyone watching and by the other breh that I'm in the confrontation with.

We both do not want to fight. You learn that - outside of the small amount of nikkas on demon time - both parties just want to be able to survive the confrontation without being embarassed.

It's why both me and another nikka could be in each other's faces and yelling our side but it can cool down.

If I'm exiting the situation and nikka says, "That's what the fukk I thought"

Or, "Now keep my wife's name out your fukking mouth"...

Welp, I'm not backing down and now shyt elevated.

Will was responsible for violations on EVERY LEVEL.

The smack.

Then, cornering another black man to not only eat the hit but now be forced to either tuck his tail between his legs. And he said it TWICE.


Again, on some black shyt, we have to talk about this fukk boy behavior. White people are going to say whatever they want, regardless.

The breh who acted without thinking. That's why this was so shocking because Will is usually more calculated and his political game is strong. I still can't believe he didn't have a change of heart with all that time he had to walk down the ramp :mjlol:

Thing is though, there are ways to handle things on the spot.

One of the reasons why I'm laughing at the "If it happened at your job, you'd be fired immediately" bullshyt is I've been on both sides of the fence and it hasn't been issued.

If Chris was more alert, he could have dodged Will's slap. Pulled him up close and say no harm was met. This is what I did. After a 1 on 1 talk, we were downing shots.

If the slap connected, he could have just said "Let's speak backstage". Then resolve things there.

Only person who will know whether Chris is a winner or loser is him true say. People have their reasons for why they responded the way they did. Only he will know if he let the matter drop for the sake of the show or because he didn't want another slap.

Whoopi Goldberg Swats Away Will Smith Doomsayers: “He Will Be Fine” – Deadline
Whoopi Goldberg Swats Away Will Smith Doomsayers: “He Will Be Fine”

Whoopi Goldberg asked and answered her own question about Will Smith’s future today, practically rolling her eyes as she read the set-up question for the Hot Topic discussion on Smith’s career.

“Some of Will Smith’s future projects are in question,” Goldberg said, reading the intro. “The question is does he have a path back?” After chuckling at her own question, she quickly followed with a dismissive, “Yes, of course he does. He’ll be fine. He’ll be back. No worries.”

Unlike last week’s View episodes, when Goldberg, who is a member of the Academy’s Board of Governors and a former Oscar host, discussed Smith’s slap of Chris Rock at length, she and the rest of the View panel today seemed weary of the exhausted topic and moved on fairly quickly.

After Goldberg’s intro, co-host Ana Navarro said, “I’m so tired of talking about this I’d like to slap myself,” adding that she’d prefer to be talking about Clarence and Ginni Thomas but recognizes that the slap has become a cultural talking point.

“He’s had over 30 years of a career,” Navarro continued about Smith, “where he’s had a very positive image, been a positive role model, he’s been very philanthropic, he’s done all sorts of things. None of us should be judged by our worst moment.”

Smith resigned from the Academy last week.

That's a lot to ask of a man after he's slapped. Not punched...SLAPPED.


And, considering Chris Rock's Non Learning Verbal Disorder; it makes it even more to ask.

I get it, though.

But, it short;

Will was the nikka in Belly that Tommy(DMX) embarrassed in front of everybody.



Chris Rock was Sincere(Nas)

"You'll get yours, b."

Meanwhile, Tommy is too elusive or too big to challenge so that dude waits and sees Sincere. Ready to start dumping on the wrong nikka.

shyt is 'Sgust.:francis:

Bruh. It was a slap. This shyt is going overboard and its obviously both of these dudes gotta deal wit a level of mental anguish. Will for different reasons of course but we gotta look into what drove an even tempered man to this point. Will for all intents and purposes has been called “soft” his entire career. Now he’s this dangerous unhinged narcissistic bully overnight. shyt is stupid. It’s not black and white. One thing I’m NOT gonna do is let crackas use this instance to lump one of our most prestigious and nice celebrities in with their devious and scum ass celebrities that they STILL give passes by the way.

You're right.

fukk those white people.

What space can we discuss this shyt without being derailed into giving disclaimers about white people.

This is the closest I have to the barbershop vibe online.

Bro. U doing too much. Lol.
Lol, I am but I take this serious because I see so much to talk about because it touches on aot of the dynamics that go on.

Let me chill. I think I've overstayed my welcome on this shyt.

I concede that I've been typing walls of text.

Respect.
