Two CONSERVATIVE MEN THAT HAPPEN TO be Black settling things with respect and dignity. If only ninjahood could learn from them and retract da hit on RustyShackleford . BE BEST NINJA. I say this with BASS in my voice.

The irony in all this is that Rock has like the only documentary I know of about black women's hair

Bad timing. The World’s at War with Russia Chris Rock.

Delivering emotional, self conscious pain was tasteless , especially at an award show & Not a stand-up stage night. if it makes him feel better.. I’ve been smacked a lot more times than him & I owned what I did wrong.

Man- Up CR, you’re made of something young man. Church.

Best post I've read. He should also apologize for not following up with a right hook to William's jaw.

in reference to this tweet supposedly

 

[atransta]

Yaw just mad bc Will smashed ya white queen Margot Robbie….man get over it, some girls just gotta have the B B C

She's dope AF. Im never going to watch that movie

 

[darthska]

I’m follicly challenged and I didn’t appreciate the “joke” at all. Not ok, downright nasty. What has comedy become?

What jokes do think are ok? If that's too broad of a question, which I can understand, I'll ask 2 different questions: What are some of your favorite comedy movies? And who are some of your favorite funny people?

Didn’t Diddy slap Drake?

Why was he out here trying to be the peacemaker

Diddy is about as good of a peacemaker as Putin

 

[atlsfinest]

I'm not 100% sure but I do not believe that Chris Rock quote is real

This thread is amazing

I really thought Dune has great production design

Richard Williams Says He Doesn't 'Condone' Hitting After Will Smith Smacks Chris Rock at Oscars

The father of Venus and Serena Williams — who is played by Will Smith in <em>King Richard</em> — weighed in after the Best Actor Oscar winner struck Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith

people.com

that speech was a low key one of the nastiest parts of this entire ordeal.

trying to use Richard Williams name to co-sign your foolishness.

Will needs help.

 

[Deleted member 42060]

Kudos to will to protecting his wife (still could have done it after the show and not on stage) but shame on Jade for not protecting Will. Stepping in to stop him from going up there or at least holding him back from yelling profanities on live tv in front of all his peers is the least she could have done.

Good point.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

Which is why I said let's agree to disagree. Y'all dudes love to argue lol. I got my stance, you got yours. Let's move on fam

Just cuz you believe it don’t mean you right

 

[paulwest1985]

I can't wait until CR's next stand up special on netflix. I hope he ends the whole Smith family's careers! From the grandmother all the way to them weirdo kids.

If we being honest Richard Williams would've done worse

I don't get how some of you can hear that speech and still be on some of the same talking points and stances.

You can make jokes that will somewhat offend some people without directing it right at someone. You can make a fat joke without looking dead at someone and making it about them specifically. That wasn't a joke, it was a disrespectful comment directed at one person in front of millions. I'm a bigger dude. People make fat jokes all the times. It's whatever. You look dead at me and call me a fat mf'er just to get some laughs at my expense? Na we're going to have some words.

clearly his family seems to disagree, but hey maybe you know richard williams better.

Im still beyond baffled that anyone co-signs what Will did,
torch the biggest night of your career over something that could have been handled in private.

and try to use Richard Williams name to justify it. wild nasty.

 

[gymjones]

these comedians need to stop messing with these 80s rappers

 

[Betonblck]

The difference in opinions among genders shows why we need more father figures in the household.

A man can't protect and provide for his family from behind a jail cell.

Then have some words

Don't go on stage smacking someone like some lunatic during what's possibly one your biggest career achievements

 

[Master Zik]

Yeah, cuz in light of this Richard Williams is going to say yeah I would've smacked Rock too

But like I said I don't get how some of yall are still stuck on the same thing.

The idea that Will Smith has torched his career is pretty silly as well. Its really like there's some separate reality being experienced.

I don't disagree. Will could have handled it better. My issue is with the people saying Rock gets a pass bc he's a comedian and Will and Jada just have to deal with it. When you single out one person, it goes from jokes to disrespect real quick.
