I’ve never watched the Oscar and probably never will. But I read this morning that the host, Chris Rock, cracked a mean joke about Will Smith’s wife’s hair and Will got up, walked up to Chris and slapped him on live TV. Seriously??!!! How dumb can Will get? These folks go around complaining about being labelled ”angry black men”… well, perhaps smacking a guy for doing his job (cracking jokes) on live TV probably doesn’t do much to quell such stereotype…
I can never understand violence. If you feel you are physically stronger than someone, hitting them simply makes you weak and a bully. Will Smith’s action was inexcusable….
Smith could have made his point by getting up and walking out or if he had a pair of gloves, thrown it down and asked for a duel in their private time in jest. Smacking someone in the manner he did, was not only daft, it sends the wrong message to kids out there.
You don’t go around hitting people because they cracked a mean joke…
