To me there is really only one take to have on this…

Chris crossed a line, and Will overreacted.

The dispute should have been handled privately.

You can say the disrespect was public so the response should also be, but I would disagree. Most people didn’t know about her condition so the disrespect was actually private.

As a man who grew up in a family where the women out numbered men, I have defended those women with everything from my hands to bullets. Now that I've matured I can honestly say what will did was pure bitch shit.

His wife was not physically attacked, demeaned nor degraded. A joke was made where I believe chris rock had no idea of her non life threatening condition and simply was joking about her haircut. Will even laughed until he saw her reaction, then he had to save face. And that point is what we need to be discussing.

You know how many black men have lost their lives behind saving face? More specifically their misguided attempts at what they thought was protecting the women around them? Who taught them that's how you protect women.....the women that raised them did. We're so fucked up from lack of true male leadership that we don't understand protecting black women is more than just being an oncall goon. It's about leading, guiding, supporting them and sometimes even saving them from themselves. But that's only for the ones who want that.

This whole shit is stupid. If will would have slapped chris for a joke he made about him, then it would have been "will in his feelings", "will emotional" and "toxic masculinity". Or "black men need to do better". But because the boss sanctioned the hit, none of that gets said. One minute women are equal and just as strong and capable as men and don't need a man, until they want men to harm other men at their whim. Which one is it? This was words, not even words that required a physical attack at that. And for her to allow him to jeopardize his image and possibly be arrested goes to show how much she values him. You can't tell me if she said "babe no don't do it" that he still woulda done it.

Why are we so damn comfortable with the lives and well being of black me being disposable? That's wtf needs to be discussed.

The only lack of accountability is on the black men who overreact at the behest of the sistas who often excuse themselves of having any role in escalating said situation.

This is true...however in this instance we have literal proof that Jada didn't say or nudge Will to act. He chose to act on his own. So the "boss sanctioned the hit" narrative doesn't apply. Will acted off his own impulse not what he was told by someone else to do

Times have changed. alot.

Other than the NFL and random reality/competition finale ep, live tv doesnot do numbers anymore.

These kids are on youtube, twitter, tik tok etc. And old ppl are on streaming services.

Thats why all these companies r doing their own streaming services.

Cable tv is a relic of the past, it been dead
 
If we really want to deconstruct this shit, then ill say slapping a mfer is weird as fuck to me.

I never got mad enough to put hands on someone and ended up slapping them.

It was always a punch, and then follow up punches/kicks.

Did yall go around slapping people?

He's definitely one of those "Rogan is God and please stop trying to censor comics" types that can get real soap boxy and annoying as fuck.
 
Did y'all really think comedians wouldn't ride for this one? Particularly someone like Schulz who was in Chris Rock's position and was swung on on stage? The Chappelle/Trans thing showed you first hand that the Comedy community is a brotherhood. Did you not see them going this hard after seeing one of their own assaulted for telling jokes? Soon as that happened I knew comedians were gonna go in. Especially from the safety of their own couches
