On Sunday evening, some new life was pumped into the dying franchise known as “The Oscars.” Host Chris Rock made a crack about Jada Pinket, Will Smith’s wife, regarding her lack of hair (she has alopecia), and Smith stormed the stage – in front of law enforcement officers – and slapped Rock before retaking his seat and yelling at Rock to keep his wife’s name out of his [expletive] mouth.
It was a slap, not a punch. Usually, when men’s wives are insulted in jest or not, guys would punch.
The exchange was done by a couple of seasoned actors who would know how to make it look real. It looked real enough that all over the media on Monday, social and mainstream, condemnations are pouring through the woodwork for Smith for slapping, and Rock for making a joke in poor taste.
Not to be outdone by just about everyone commenting on the internet who is not a fan of professional wrestling, an official with the NAACP chimed in.
Janai Nelson, president of the NAACP legal defense fund, denounce Will Smith for assaulting comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars on Sunday night.
In a tweet shortly after the incident, Janai Nelson expressed dismay over the fact that the audience at the Academy Awards appeared to condone Smith’s act of violence toward Chris Rock.
“People are unraveling in front of our eyes but the show must go on. What is happening?” she tweeted.
“I know we’re all still processing, but the way casual violence was normalized tonight by a collective national audience will have consequences that we can’t even fathom in the moment,” she added.
It’s not exactly casual violence when a man reacts to his wife being insulted, but that is how this person representing the NAACP took the display. Why Will Smith was not arrested on the spot for assault is a completely different issue.

“I know we’re all still processing, but the way casual violence was normalized tonight by a collective national audience will have consequences that we can’t even fathom in the moment,”
Seriously? The left normalized violence for a whole year, where lives were lost and billions of dollars in damaged were done. The fact that Will Smith thought he was entitled to go up on that stage an strike another person in anger for a comment made in jest, is against every tenet that civilization stands for.
Maybe will didn’t realize it wasn’t august
