Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

i think he was right in standing up for his wife, just not not in the way that he did itCrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 10:51 am Kareem is correct far more often than he is not, and he is again correct here.
My own thoughts are how it's hilarious to see some people bitch and moan about PC culture taking over comedy but then think Will Smith was right for doing the manly thing and hitting someone that made a joke at his wife's expense.

Re: Will Smith and Chris Rock
That's fair. Thing is, even if Chris Rock didn't know about her diagnosis, Smith could have easily made Rock the asshole in the whole ordeal. Instead, he exposed himself. Twice including the speech.KUTradition wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 11:23 ami think he was right in standing up for his wife, just not not in the way that he did itCrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 10:51 am Kareem is correct far more often than he is not, and he is again correct here.

The whole showing love through violence take is the same logic that domestic abusers like to use.

if he were a bigger/better man, he woulda just grabbed the mic and made a statement about loving his wife and supporting her through these times…wouldn’t have even had to mention rock or the joke directly

Re: Will Smith and Chris Rock
Since we are going down this road, I think it is also very shitty for him to drag Serena and Venus Williams into the whole thing. Two innocent bystanders (and World Champions). Then triples down and compares himself and his actions to Richard, another innocent bystander and a real person.KUTradition wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 11:33 amcompletely agreeCrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 11:29 amThat's fair.

Kareem sees it all from his perch and he's a gifted writer.

Re: Will Smith and Chris Rock
Overlander would have let that dumb joke go.
Then, go have a chat with Mr Rock in private. Explain that the joke was in very poor taste and personally hurtful.
We would shake hands, bro hug, and have a drink.

Probably what Will should have done....but Will is crazy. Getting into that weird Tom Cruise territory where it's like they've become their own weird personal mix of characters/personalities.Overlander wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 1:20 pm Overlander would have let that dumb joke go.

Re: Will Smith and Chris Rock
Yep. Jabbar's comment "If he was really doing it for his wife, and not his own need to prove himself, he might have thought about the negative attention this brought on them, much harsher than the benign joke." pretty much hit the nail on the head. This was about Smith showing his wife he deserves more than being cuckolded. So childish.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 10:51 am Kareem is correct far more often than he is not, and he is again correct here.

Re: Will Smith and Chris Rock
So allegedly he was "asked" to leave.
To me, those in charge who "asked" him to leave AND THEN ALLOWED HIM TO STAY are as big of pieces of spineless shit for doing as such as he was for what he did.
