#12. First, Smith stormed towards Rock from a pretty good distance, he had plenty of advance time to run or put up his dukes, so wouldn't call it a "sucker slap". Plus what you call a joke was at best an extremely lame joke and more obviously a plain insult on Jada's appearance, and in important context, while she was at a televised event that obsesses over womens' physical appearance with the dresses, and yes hairstyles. Not only embarrassing her in front of hollywoods main celebrities but the "joke" was watched live by millions. Should Will have slapped him no. Was it worthy of this very predictable outrage, mainly from the left wing cancel machine? Also no. Will Smith will lay low until the Left Wing Outrage Machine gets bored and moves on to cancel its next victim ...
#16 yes. The Academy Awards couldn't give a hoot about Chris Rock, they're trying to protect their sad, dying brand. But there is a cancel culture that follows a lame and predictable pattern. e.g. the obligatory skit on SNL last night. And then the articles today praising the SNL skit, which was of as usual pretty lame. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. And what if Will Smith and/or Chris Rock were white? I shudder to imagine
