Looks like Will got himself into a real entanglement with this one.... Or was it Chris who did that?

Then again, at least Chris was able to say "Will Smith just slapped the $#!( out of me!" instead of "Will Smith and I had an entanglement".

The whole thing was fake designed to kill non politically correct comedy. I know this because we planned it in our weekly Cultural Marxist meetings. It was me Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Danny DeVito that came up with the idea. Y'see after significantly weakening the White male with feminism, Evis Presley's hips and Marvel Comic books we're now setting our sights on African American men. We've put nannites in their Covid vaccines that makes their most popular entertainers do stupid stuff in public. Look out for Wayne Brady pistol whipping Jay-Z after the latter disses his performance on Whose Line Is It Anyway. Once that happens the world will be prepped for our Jewish overlords to take over.

Some people on social media have said that Chris Rock was "misogynoir" for making fun of a black woman publicly in front of tons of white people. And some others have also said that white people were being racist by criticising a black man slapping another in public.

Ofc leave it to woke SJW types to make everything about race and racism.

It's a good thing this was between 2 black dudes. Had Will Smith been white then oh boy, the woke crowd would claim him to be a KKK member or something like that. Not to mention plenty of US cities would be currently on fire due to riots.

Can you imagine? Think if it was, like, Steve Martin or Jeremy Irons going over and slapping Chris Rock. How difference the conversation would be.

Ofc they're idiots. They're woke SJWs after all. And I had never heard of "misogynoir" until yesterday. I swear, those people gotta be making up such terms and concepts. There's no way that word existed before that.

Lol yeah indeed.

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:

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

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.

Don't bother. Planned Parenthood's had that covered for decades.

People have a morbid curiosity and anyone could’ve easily predicted this controversy would result in higher ticket sales for Rock.

Mildly pushing the idea that it COULD be a work.

And Smith's reputation? As what, a buttoned-down actor's actor who wouldn't so much as even swear during his rap career? Now suddenly, overnight, he is edgy and "real."

Not necessarily referring to his reputation regarding his profession. More like he now looks like an even bigger jacka$$ then ever before. And that’s saying a lot considering his marriage issues that have come to light. I mean, again he did this as a favor to Chris Rock? Or for a ratings bounce for the Oscar’s? Seems highly unlikely that he would that for any reason other than he snapped.

Guess you could say it was a "Swing and a Miss" for Will Smith.

No way this would end with him just getting a slap on the wrist.

It was a close shave for a moment there, though.

Ah, well... Hair today, gone tomorrow.

I'll say this... if he does get divorced as the smoke settles, I'll totally concede it was 100% real.
