Will Smith hits Chris Rock on Oscars stage

LOL, so typical.
It's odd that some incident with John Wayne from decades ago is used as an example of "inequality", they don't know what his intentions were - was he going to assault her as per Will Smith or was he going to go on stage and grab the mic as per Kanye West vs Taylor Swift at the VMA awards.
But he was... restrained by security guards. Decades later, in recent times, those other celebrities have not been restrained by security guards, they've been able to get onto the stage and grab the mic or commit an assault. Presumably, hesitant to act because they're not regular unknown guests but they're celebrities.
The main inequality here is simply that celebrities can get away with something like this and there is a debate backstage over what to even do about it when a non-celebrity would simply have been immediately detained and then ejected by security.
Lol brilliant.

"White outrage about Will Smith’s slap is rooted in anti-Blackness. It’s inequality in plain sight"
Every time you think we've reached peak Giardian there's an opinion column there to remind you that we're still climbing and the peak is still out of sight.

It's black privilege if anything. Nice cope though.

I still think it was staged.

It was definitely on a stage

If it was staged then I have been greatly underestimating Chris Rocks acting ability all these years

But the slap was so exagerated. It was a comedy slap surely.
Maybe thats just how Smith slaps. If you look at the footage after the slap, look at Rocks eyes and then look at the footage from about 10mins later of Rock stood toward the rear of the stage, you can see in both of those that he looks a little bewildered, as if he is trying to comprehend what just happened. Either he's a far better actor than I credited him with, even when he didnt know the camera was on him (in the case of the 2nd piece of footage) or he absolutely was not expecting to be slapped. Hence why I dont think it was staged.

Me thinks Will was over compensating if it wasnt staged.

I think its simply that the cracks are showing from people railing his wife and him trying to be okay with it.

I think Will Smith wanted sex again some time so had to back track on the laughing at the joke. Will Smith needs to do another Slow Mo guys video 
Only a matter of time before an article like that sprang up. Whataboutery at its finest, courtesy of some "journalist" I'd be surprised if anyone has heard of before.

Seems Will Smith has chosen to 'resign' from the Academy. I guess he suspected that the Academy were indeed going to kick him to the kerb and rather than face the shame of being kicked out he 'resigned' instead.

Not a decision he can come out of looking any better. If he'd have stayed people would be calling him out for not quitting just like yes because called out to hand the award back.
Silly Willy.

Are all those who made up this conspiracy that it was staged, now able to accept that's not the case?
