Is this tampering?

America has moved on.

had to go check out the situation after you guys had mentioned it…

been giving this subject some thought lately…generally i keep my interaction with others fairly well scripted…few weeks back while in a drive-through i lost it a bit…had the kids in the car and they were trying to switch up their order at the last minute, someone behind me honked…i did well and ignored it, after pulling up a bit they actually said something out loud through their window and laughed – at which time i started screaming like some madman at them – didn’t think about the kids in the car, just wanted nothing more at the moment than put my hands on them…i trust pretty much no one and normally dislike interacting with strangers, so a very odd event for me…

there’s a reason why that one line from the first dirty harry movie is so popular – go ahead and make my day…it’s not hard to understand the feeling behind that sentiment…

it was just the wrong day, wrong kind of feeling for me…both chris and will are very lucky will had decided to “bitch-slap” chris as opposed to trying to choke the life out of him up on that stage…

yep, don’t push will cuz he’s close to the edge…personally, i don’t think the ji jane joke about jada’s hair was that bad…that doesn’t really matter though…kudos to chris rock, handled the whole situation very well…

***it was an open hand vs closed if that matters to you. We won’t be hearing the end of this one for a lonnnng time.***

The only thing that would have made that moment better is if Jeff Van Gundy was clinging to Will Smith’s leg.

…ahahahahaa!!!

While white men talk of pressing charges, and white women complain of toxic masculinity, the real truth is that the wiseass knows how to absorb a blow. If Chris “Not The” Rock couldn’t, he never would have made it on stage at the oscars in the first place.

i mean to your point, yeah, professional comedians practically have to have near-superhuman thick skin to absorb (or dodge/deflect) so much, especially if you’re willing to be edgy and/or make people a bit uncomfortable with your material.

As a Black man, i don’t think I’m going to like the fallout from this.

My wife and bonus daughter are convinced it was a complete shoot and not a work. There’s a good deal of old school w/in me that can’t blame Will for defending his wife’s honor – regardless of however they define their marriage.

Did yall see Jada’s face after that joke? No way Will could’ve let that slide.

I just asked my wife if she would’ve wanted me to react the same way had that been her/us…
Her: ” no, because you wouldn’t know when to stop [hitting].”
Me: “so only hitting him once is okay.”
She laughed.

Oof. Checking in after the win (and during the Oscars) to read TNFH. Sadly, I’m persuaded by his analysis, and my buzz is killed. (But maybe it’s wrong just this one time please.)

Did you see Will Smith punch Chris Rock too?
