I've seen a couple of videos. Smith made solid contact.

They'll start blaming it on the pressures of white supremacy soon if they haven't already, do a victory dance, and go home.

Or Trump, same thing

"CNN analyst Asha Rangappa..."

She's the stupid (insert obscene descriptive term here) who got all weepy and ragy over that airline pilot who ended his on plane greeting with "Let's Go Brandon."

Basically said he was an ISIS operative.

She got mocked pretty hard for that, too.

    Chris Rock’s one “joke” was rooted in misogynoir, texturism, & ableism. Degrading a Black woman, in a room full of her peers, on live TV.

    The fact ya’ll don’t see that as violent is beyond me.

I'm just glad we avoided the absolute *expletive deleted*it storm that would have occurred if CR had been white

Or if Will Smith was white, because he'd be going to prison for a long time for girly slapping a black man.

Absolutely no *expletive deleted*it storm in that case. Striking a blow for justice... of some sort... or something.

This is nothingburger promoted up the public consciousness by pearl clutching idiots who have internalized that no violence is ever OK.

Huh? It's going to be a full-on breaking news event when a massively famous movie star puts his hands on a famous comedian, on prime time. Not hard news, but it's going to be a big story.

And that entire family is a bunch of whackos.

Yeah I see that now. Just saw some stuff on his wife and, Wow, what a POS.
What makes this even stranger is he (WS) was laughing at the "joke" until his wife said something to him. He should have slapped her IMHO.
But it is his business how he wants to deal with his wife.

It's a nothingburger that's been promoted to somethingburger by a bunch of self-absorbed idiots.

Other than for the amusement value, I'd not have cared if they took after each other with baseball bats.

Do they have boom mics pointed around to pick up what people are saying? 

Given the low ratings of most of these award shows, I am skeptical that it was real.  Sounds like something to get the public talking about them....which is appears to be doing. 

Nice to hear that Dune was recognized.

Smith seemed pretty emotional later so maybe not.  I am surprised Chris Rock acted like it was not a big deal.  I would have expected him to start giving Will Smith crap rather than his wife.

Hasn't Jada Smith had short hair for a long time?  I guess I didn't think she looked substantially different.  What you are used to I guess.

The Will Smith Incident diverted our attention from wondering which of the many women's boobs were finally going to escape from the dress.  Some of them came close a few times.
