So making fun of AA person’s disease on national tv is ok now.  And yes I know it is

Apparently she's made jokes about it before. Even Will was laughed at Rock's joke. Then he saw Jada not laughing. . . .

In hindsight (seriously, how many people knew that Jada had a disease that caused hairless), maybe the joke was in poor taste, but Rock certainly didn't warrant getting slapped over it.

It's one thing to privately admit that you're gay, or that you have alopecia.  It's quite another to have someone out you in front of billions of people. That costs you acting jobs and income. In a less enlightened time, Tom Hulce literally outed David Hyde Pierce when he strongly implied that he was guy. Hyde-Pierce's face was something to behold, as was Jada Pinkett's. And I agree, I don't think Will Smith intended to slap Chris Rock until he saw his wife's reaction.

Here's the unexpirgated language:

Watch the uncensored moment Will Smith smacks Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars, drops F-bomb - YouTube

How can you watch that tape and NOT think Smith is 99% in the wrong here?  And a guy with problems.  First, he laughed at the joke; then decided to walk up to him and whack the dude; then he compounded it by yelling expletives repeatedly.  And all this after Rock sorta backtracked from his joke ("Aww, c'mon.  That was mild.").  My impression, anyway.

Yeah, Will, this world is all about you.  Please.

Chris Rock handled himself very well, all things considered.

Well, let me try.  A man’s wife’s medical condition is joked about.  He stood up for her.  In past days, he’d be applauded.  Now, I guess it’s “toxic masculinity.”  Smith chose the wrong venue.  He should have approached Rock off stage and slugged him. When, btw, is Rock gonna apologize.  There is nothing funny about a medical condition.  Ever. So, Smith chose unwisely. But not cause he slapped the guy. He freaking deserved it.

And to think I thought it was all an act to drum up publicity for an awards show nobody watches any more. Seriously, the whole thing smells of wrestling Kafabe, with Chris Rock and Will Smith now having a long-standing feud.

Nobody came out looking good from this.  Chris Rock is a douche for making fun of someone’s appearance due to a medical condition. It was a bad joke and the punishment should have been for the joke to bomb.  Will Smith is an ahole for slapping a comedian who made a bad joke. I did find it interesting that Rock making fun of the Smith’s open marriage was totally cool from a defend your wife’s honor perspective.  FFS, this isn’t the 50’s (by which I mean the 1750’s).  What next, Smith throws down a gauntlet and we have pistols at dawn?

Maybe so, depending on who would cover it, ESPN or CNN?

More seriously, if Will Smith and his wife were insulted by the joke (which I think is completely understandable), just get up and leave. That would certainly have made the Academy look foolish when he won. Even if he had not won, it would give him the moral high ground and the right to publicly question the tastes of the participants. That would have been nice to see IMHO.

When you think of GI Jane, what's the first thing you think of?  For many (myself included), it's Demi's shaved noggin (iirc, that is on the poster for the movie).

Many women have cut their hair for non-medical reasons.  And many look great (including JPS).  Thus, at face value, Rock's joke was amusing.  Hell, even Will chuckled.

Then, Jada gives the "shocked/offended face," even though she has made her condition public, and that galvanizes Will Smith to violence.  

Once the medical condition issue is recognized/acknowledged, the joke goes from amusing to in poor taste.  But that's it.  So what?

Will's faux reaction, imo, was just that - and indicative of deeper issues that he has.

just to clarify, Rock did not joke about a woman's medical condition.  he joked about a woman's choice to not wear a wig.  and Smith was laughing until he saw his wife's reaction.

I really don't understand the pearl-clutching here.  Neither man was really "in the right," but none of that behavior rises to anything more than "talk sh*t, get hit."  Both sides exercised poor conduct that did not warrant any kind of law enforcement response.  It was a weak joke at best, and the response was an open-handed slap meant to shame and not injure.

And it was all part of an awards program for supposedly great movies. I think that kind of says it all about the appropriateness of both parties behavior and the fact that such behavior is common in "polite society" says even more about what passes for entertainment. Such things happening in a bar someplace is bad enough, but at the Academy Awards? Obviously impulse control is not a thing these days.

It's funny you say that.  Here's an email comment from a friend on the incident:

Can we talk for a second about the form and force of the punch/slap?  It looks to be delivered with perfect form and fairly hard, by a much bigger man – recall Smith’s turn in Ali – but it doesn’t even faze Rock.  I’m not going down the “was it staged” trail, I tend to agree it’s too weird and too raw for that.  But let’s give some props to C. Rock for not having a glass jaw!

I agree with my friend - that was a slap in form, but delivered with WAY more intensity and intent to injure than you assume.

Yet another aspect of Rock handling the situation well!

"Irrevocable" is an extreme word and I suspect misplaced.  Americans are by and large a very forgiving people.
