What if Chris had made a joke about Bradley's mom being short or something, and Bradley had a white knight hissy fit like Will did.
What discussion would we be having right now?
What if it was Ricky Gervais?
shareHosting or slapping?
shareWhy not both?
shareCan we have Gervais hosting but then also slapping all the recipients one after another like in this video?

I don't think Gervais would have made a statement about Will Smith's wife, he would have made a statement about his kid dressing up like a woman.
shareJury selection, probably.
Chris can let go of Will hitting him, a white man is another story. I don't think that is even up to him.
What if it wasn’t the Oscars but the Grammys? And what if instead of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock it was Mariah Carey slapping Madonna? And what if Madonna slapped Mariah right back? And what if they started jelly wrestling in front of the audience? What discussion would we be having right now?
See how that works??
White man hitting Chris and there would have been a riot. We would have never heard the end of it. Madonna and Mariah would have just been sexualized. You would hear "meow" comments and nothing else would have came from it.
shareThey would cheer on "fight, fight", then there will be some boring people coming up saying:"This ain't a show, your jerks!"
shareThen Bradley Cooper would be cancelled immediately and declared racist. But since it was black on black violence then no one on the woke side cared and pretended that never happened. Like they ignore black on black violence in black neighborhoods. Because they cant get anything for their PR from it.
So this time Black Live didnt matter. Not for press, not for Hollywood. Truly astonishing to watch.
It really looks like Will Smith will suffer zero consequences and everyone will pretend that nothing happened.
