Will L Smithson Slapped The Shit Outta Chris Rocker!!!

[Army of One]

I notice you and a few other people in this thread seem to think that Smith not being escorted out was a sign of black privilege. I don't agree with that, but I could be wrong.  Let me ask you this- can you name five actors with more star power than Will Smith? Living, working actors who have comparable name recognition, who are generally well-liked by the public, who have given critically acclaimed performances and who have had similar recent box office success? ( Bad Boys 2 came out just before pandemic lockdowns in 2020 and made over  $400 m worldwide).  I can only think of two who are arguably close and I am positive they would not have been escorted out. At the same time, I think it's unlikely any other black actor would have been allowed to remain. It seems to me Smith was allowed to stay because of his immense star power and the fact that he was nominated for one of the biggest awards of the night.  Do you think race is more important than star power in Hollywood? Do you think Will Smith is generally disliked by his peers in the industry, but security was guilted into cutting him some slack because of his race?

all have more star power

Jada got into an "entanglement" with this August guy? 

Also, her Alopecia is barely visible...you literally wouldn't notice it if she didn't shave her head bald voluntarily. I think she did it to virtue-signal. The fact that she had to SHAVE her head proved that she didn't lose it all.

I think after Jada caught Will laughing at the joke, he felt the need to overcompensate, once he saw Jada's reaction.

"Bad Marriage 4 Life"? 

So they both cheat on each other like crazy?

Great ending to this video - I think the whole dialogue was taken down from YouTube:

 

You can see a lot of anger, betrayal, hurt, and pissed off in Will's face there....even when he smiles.  Multi-millionaire, elite celeb, made to look like a bitch.  IMO a lot of pent up emotion led to the Oscar thing.  BTW, I don't watch those pile of shit award shows.  I feel like next year they might get higher ratings to see if something similar goes down, but it's dead after that.  Black on black crime is not a good look, and someone like Ricky Gervais will never host again.  Only way to save this shit show is have the Rock host every year, and to kick the fucking shit out of anyone that gets out of line.  Hollyweird is owned by China, not the Jews for the most part anymore.  Things in the movies, agendas, and censorship are even more out of control.  The end is near.

[Earl1972]

Regarding being banned from the show - absolutely. That should have happened on the spot. I also think some Black Privilege was involved here - would a White man have gotten away with that?

And does it matter that Chris Rock himself is Black? What is Hollywood even saying here - that it's ok for a Black man to assault another Black man who insults your wife?

I think what happened was that Will Smith found the joke funny until he saw the eye that Jada made, and he then realized he messed up, and had to overcompensate for laughing at her expense.

Regarding Will having his award revoked - I feel that awards are sort of like university degrees or college diplomas in that once you have it, you own it for life. So even The Unabomber still has his Ph.D in mathematics. Unless you can prove academic dishonesty, you get to keep your degree for life. Just my opinion. But Will should have definitely been removed from the show at the very least.

the last thing liberals care about is black on black crime, heck they even blame that on "white supremacy"

they only have their rallies and protests the rare time a white person is involved with hurting them

Rock owned that. What a mature response. I don’t think he was out of line with the GI Jane reference.


I didn’t mean he was the most talented. He is the most acclaimed though. Grammy winner (and we can argue if he was the most deserving in 89 but he won) with multiple platinum rap records, spanning decades. Star of a hit TV show to successful blockbuster after blockbuster… and then when he finally decides to be be respected for his craft (I’m not sure when he transitioned from the action movie role, was it with pursuit of happiness) he wins an Oscar.

Jamie Fox is extremely talented but he’s not the star Will Smith is. The other actors you named are stars on the same level as Smith but none of them will ever win a Grammy or even have a Gold album.

Dave, I don't know why I even clicked this thread.  I don't give a fuck about "movie stars", as I think anyone can do it...you just have to be good looking and/or have connections.  It's kinda like that Liberty Mutual insuarance commercial where the quy keeps fucking up, and after the last take where he say's "Liberty miberty", the director says "nevermind, we'll just dub it.  The fact that fat and unfunny fucktards who are off the hinges like Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill says all you need to know about what it takes to be an actor.  I forgot about "pursuit f happiness"....that was a good movie.  Other than that the Bad Boys movies were written by Martin Lawrence, who was truly the funny one, and Will has been in all the movies other than mentioned, that the special affects were the star.  Last movie I watched with him was either Hitchcuck or "pursuit" depending on which was out first.

This is not worth arguing over.  They are all rich as fuck, elitist snobs, and who all got $100K gift bags for just attending the show.  Most people not in CA or NY don't make that much in a year, and they are constantly complaining.  It's fucking absurd.

All, I have left to add is the following vids by Russel Brand and Black and White Sports featuring clips from Shannon Sharpe saying he would've beat Will's ass....of course we know Will never would have had the balls to step to Sharpe.  After the mean look from Jada, Smith would'a been like "that's all you babe"...and then she would have fucked Sharpe on stage.  Hollyweirdo's are fucking crazy like that, and now we have proof.

Stop going to theaters, and renting this propagandized BS.  They are killing society.  I grew up in GB around Packer players, and worked at gyms were WWF guys were the norm every 3 months.  They never acted liked entitled fucks that were better than you.....not a single fucking one.  Shook your hand, said hey thanks to a compliment, and talked to you like anyone else would.

[myt1]

I can't disagree with much or anything you said here.

And I would be hard pressed to point to many actors with more star power than Will Smith - I just saw that his Instagram page has 61M followers - Whoa! 

I would therefore not automatically classify this under Black Privilege. I mean - he slapped another Black man, so if it's not like we can make a Black-on-White versus White-on-Black comparison.

Also, I loathe conversations about privilege. They are so petty.

That being said - ok, fine, privilege exists [I just hate having conversations about things that are hard to quantify].

Could it just be Status Privilege.

Yes, absolutely.

It's akin to Jada complaining about racism in Hollywood, when IMO, the reason for her decline in career opportunities is more due to ageism - BUT...she also sort of got her start in Hollywood due to Young Beautiful Female Privilege.

These distinctions are subtle - but they are there. I just don't want to give leftist talking points too much credible.

But to your question - could this just be a case of status working in Will's favour [Status Privilege - or even Wealth-Generating Privilege], then yes, absolutely it might be that.

It's hard to say how this would play out had this been two White actors - so I don't want to jump on the Black Privilege card here.

I think it may just be a matter of status, as you said. And Will absolutely has incredible star power - amazing after being in the spotlight for over 30 years.

Why?  He to my knowledge has never written anything scriptwise himself.  His "music" was shitty pre-recorded beats...can't play an instrument as far as I know, lyrics were meaningless shit, hit tv show where the cast hated him and everything was written for him.  Like I said, he was the "safe blackie", and I think he just killed that.

I had no idea you were from Green Bay, myt1.

Good stuff!

I also didn't know that WWF/WWE wrestlers were the way you described.

That makes sense, because they are harder working [physically] people. Whereas these Hollywood actors and actresses are spoiled brats [not all - but the culture breeds that type of thing, it seems].

I had no they got free $100K bags. Wow...

I like how that video from Black and White Sports said to smash the subscribe button, like Notomorrow said.

All very true!

But...his box office take is undeniable.

I didn't know that about the Fresh Prince cast hating him!

Yeah, he got the original Aunt Vivian fired, and was an arrogant dickhead supposedly to most of the cast

I just sent that to like 13 friends.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar says Will Smith 'perpetuated stereotypes about the Black community' by slapping Chris Rock at Oscars



“With a single petulant blow, he advocated violence, diminished women, insulted the entertainment industry, and perpetuated stereotypes about the Black community,” Abdul-Jabbar writes of Smith, echoing the opinion expressed on Monday by Today host Craig Melvin that it was "troubling on so many levels" for men of color.

Chris Rock could have come back with SO MANY jokes there.

Yep, GB until 15 and every vacation I've ever taken as an adult has been back to there as all of my extended family is there, and like Canada......the nature there and outdoor fun is amazing. 

Met a ton of WWF/WWE guys.  Only ones I can think of that were fucking jerks are (Hacksaw....biggest prick of them all surprisinglytotal let down as I was 16 then), Macho Man...way tinier than he appeared on tv...pre-juiced up WCW days, and Jake the Snake, who was a prick and a serious pussy with weights.  Undertaker was there a few times.  Can't say he was a prick, but he never even looked at, let a lone talked to anyone.  From what I've seen in interviews now that he is retired, always staying in character as "the deadman" was very important to him, so I give him a pass.  Oh, and Ortan, Flair, and Benoit were either arrogant, ungrateful to train for free, just complete pricks and/or all of the above...especially Flair.  Everyone else was wrestler's. but bodybuilders at heart so they were super cool, respectful, and always hooked up us up with free tickets.  I was pissed when I wasn't working when they came in, and my co-worker got tickets from HHH.  Said they talked quite a while, he was cool, and funny as fuck.  I met Joni/Chyna at a monster truck rally/moto-x thing here after she did Playboy the first time.  She was way smaller than I thought, very pretty, and super nice to chat with after she was done signing autographs, and just hanging out.  Sad how she self-destructed.  I think HHH, and the WWF as a whole really broke her down bad.

from what i heard they all hated her and she had an inflated sense of self importance, she didn't like that will smith was the star she felt like she should get more air time

never heard anything about the cast not liking him

[Matt]

did you see my post above about Pfizer?

Yes.

And that timing is mental!

However, just one thing...

Why would Will have initially laughed at the joke? Wouldn't he have reacted like Jada? At no point did she laugh.

And his laugh wasn't a continuation of the previous laugh - it was a fresh laugh from the joke about Jada.

Another thing - Chris initially postures almost as if a fight was going to commence, just after it happened.

That is a VERY subtle performance.

Almost too subtle for a live event.

That said, I do have questions:

Apparently the show has a six second daily for the live feed. Why wasn't the feed cut?

So as of now, I'm still going with live.

One last point: this didn't have to happen to get advertising for Alopecia medicine. Jada simply being there at all was an advertisement.

I'm not disagreeing. It just seemed pretty real to me.

I also feel like Will didn't have much to gain here. I think it makes him look bad to more people than not. What do you think about that?

Good point about Chyna - she was 5'10", which is tall for a woman, but not super imposing in real life. That is sad about her self-destruction.

Those are cool stories. I think Macho Man went up and down a little. He was huge in Spider-Man.

Pretty much this.

Rewatched Fresh Prince a few years ago and unlike most family sitcoms this one aged pretty well. Her version of aunt Viv was definitely better.

This is a story all about how, my life life got turned totally right side up...
I was sitting in a chair next to a bro named Jeffey, just another talentless fuck...

When we wrote a shitty song we decided to call it "parent's just don't care"....
Never fought or got in trouble my whole life, but turns out that bullshit led to me being the Prince of Bel Air.

And now it's years later, and I'm a sensitive pussy that married an incredible whore,
There finally came a time where I couldn't take it no more,

I went on stage in front of my whore of a wife, and at my greatest moment decided I should put an end to this fake life.
So I smacked Chris Rock... right in his mouth, and that's when everything started going down south.....

"Duh, nonna, nonna, nuh"
