Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at Oscars

[CyberCubed]

The reason nobody cares much is black people can slap other black people and this became an instant meme online. Also Will Smith is loved and Chris Rock is also very popular, so both sides got some enjoyment out of this. Chris Rock taking it professionally and not making a scene but saying, "Wow I was slapped by Will Smith on live television!" obviously made him take it in stride rather than making a scene or making it more serious.

The sheer mass of fanart and meme images that came from this scene on day 1 is staggering. People will be talking about this for decades to come.

Maybe, maybe not. I wish the "Uncle Denzel" thing was still getting mileage, but it isn't.

The slap is a result of white supremacy:

I legitimately don't understand this logic. A black man slapped another black man for joking about a black woman's hair loss and this sort of behavior would generally not be tolerated from anyone, how does white supremacy factor in?

I don’t like to simplify things but these people are warped and racist. It’s either that or they want rage-clicks.
You’ve got to be insane to have a topic like this and still be blaming white people. Give it a rest. I implore you all to not even click on those links. It just supports the loonies.

+1 for Aqua's point.

Andrew posted the links to absolve himself from Dromer intellectualism who would demand "sources" as if they can argue their way out of it when the links aren't there. But don't click on them.

Quite frankly I'm beginning to think that posters could give the links but copy and paste the whole damn article in post. F these people who write this stuff.
