What a decade this year has been
we went from “let’s go back to a future that doesn’t exist yet” to “let’s go back to a past that never existed”
Man, the '80s were a different time
Right before cars were invented!
The sweet spot right after they started slicing bread and right before they started putting crust on it
So last year right after the can opener was finally invented?
Correct, the same year they faked the Mars rovers
Now they fly.
27 years ago was 1998.
Everything else in this thread is factual though right?
Everything except your sentence, and this reply.
I disagree
I side with Chris Rock on this one.
I think that Will Smith is pussy whipped by his wife and Scientology. I think she uses the church against him, with the threat that they will take his kids away and hide them from him. That’s the only explanation I have for his (slightly delayed) response with Chris Rock, and with Will being ok with his wife grooming their son’s underage friend and later having an open relationship with him on the side.
Personally, I wouldn’t call him pussy whipped, per se, as that sometimes implies that there are no functional relationships where men side with their wives. I would just say Will Smith is a pathetic servant to his horrible significant other.
So brave. So bold
meh.
I am on team Will Smith with this one. Never give a woman of color a hard time about her hair. I’d rather diffuse a bomb while in shark infested waters. I’ve been punk rock for 40+ years, had a mowhawk and other hairstyles outside of the norm (people used to want to fight you over this) and no demographic of human being has been more supportive when it comes to taking chances with fashion than black women. This is a hill I will die on
Walking on stage and physically assaulting someone? It was premeditated, he sat there and thought, then walked up and thought. It wasn’t just a heat of the moment thing.
Nothing said verbally should warrant that.
He also laughed at the joke until he saw Jada was pissed.

(To be clear, I’m not saying you’re an idiot (and I’ve thought mowhawks were/are cool for decades). 😁🙂)
This is one situation where there is no “good guy”, in my view.
Chris Rock made fun of someone’s medical condition (the hair loss isn’t a fashion choice), and Will Smith overreacted.
Yeah, he should have made fun of her for cucking her husband with her sons friend.
I wonder what would have happened if she assaulted him instead of Will Smith.
Probably a whole lot less.
Will Smith laughed at the joke at first.
I know things were different way back then, but I still find it surprising that Will was able to go sit back down in his seat.
Dude slapped away his career
Just to tack on to another comment above:
smacked it real good.
To be posted on 3/27/49.
Just over a month before the hundredth anniversary of Hitler’s death!

Not many people know this but Will Smith’s uncle is Slappy White.
