    Something amongst POC where they are saying "You're beneath me actually punching you. You're not man enough for me to punch you. If you were I would punch you. But you're not so I'll slap you like a b***h".

    hence why Rock was taken aback because it was so insulting to him personally, without being something he would ever press charges for.

    But I dunno. Not my culture. And I read it on Twitter.
    Kind of makes sense ... Rock has attacked Jada multiple times. So I get that Smith is saying, you're not man enough to warrant me punching you, as you only attack women.

    Your sarcastic post above illustrates your persona, you didn't need to respond but you thought you'd try and be clever.
    At what point have I ever claimed to have self control over someone insulting my wife over her illness? Someone could take the p*ss over the fact she couldn't sing, or her accent, or the fact she married an ugly bloke like me ... but insult her because of her illness and yes, I'd nut them.

    Only a bully would pull a cheap stunt of insulting someone's illness and hide it behind a 'joke'.

    What a load of horsefeathers. You insult my wife and I would probably react in much the same way - or more likely, since years of martial arts have improved my self-control you would be made to feel very small indeed.

    But what defeats me is anyone thinking that making fun of anyone's illness - especially something very personal like alopecia - and using it frame a pathetic in-joke is either funny (it isn't) or clever (it also isn't).

    Least it will improve the Oscars TV ratings for next year.

    Do you think they will invite Chris Rock, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, Rihanna and Ye (or whatever he's called)?

    They should also invite Whoopi to host and put some Jewish actors in the audience.

    Maybe Chris Rock will continue being a comedian. One thing is for sure, the smooth, debonaire Will Smith has demonstrated his lack of control, wit and intelligence.
