Wow, that is most interesting! Knowing that, I really don't doubt that it was all set up and not some random thing.

It's not racist since hood doesn't mean black. There are white hoods, you ever heard of the Mafia, Jewish hoods, Appolacia hoods, and the like.

You are the one projecting something that's not there.

Hood, the street is a mentality. Sure gangsta rap is somewhat associated with that term but so what, rap is international now.

I dont know if anyone has already discussed it but apparently the sponsors are pharma
Pfizer and some other genetics place
anyway they have recently came up with a new alopecia treatment
and wanted to market it , but no one is talking about alopecia.
So they engineered the whole skit to get people talking about it and to market their new product

wouldn't surprise me in the slightest

pfizer sponsored the oscars and has new alopecia drug

Wow. You know that's an excellent observation... And very possible.

Comedians Rally Around Chris Rock, Express Concern About Violence Towards Comics: “Now We All Have To Worry”

Most comedians’ reactions to the slap that stunned the Oscars — when Will Smith bounded on stage and struck Rock over a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith, seem mostly to come down decidedly for, as one comedian puts it, Team Rock. (Smith has since apologized to Rock.)
Kathy Griffin was among the first to speak out strongly, expressing a concern that many comedians echoed.
Jada Pinkett Smith Calls For “Season Of Healing” In First Post-Oscars Statement
“Let me tell you something,” Griffin tweeted, “it’s a very bad practice to walk up on stage and physically assault a Comedian. Now we all have to worry about who wants to be the next Will Smith in comedy clubs and theaters.”
Rob Schneider, a frequent co-star of Rock’s, wrote:
“There’s never an excuse for violence.
Ever.
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever”
Oscars TV Review: Will Smith’s Stunning Slap Turns Struggling Show Into Stunning Spectacle
Comedian Hal Sparks also expressed concern that Smith’s action might have “green lit a lot of violence” toward comedians.
“Somebody in #willsmith’s circle needs to tell him that there is no way what he did tonight won’t result in a comedian somewhere getting beat up or killed. He green lit a lot of violence.”
Patton Oswalt said he was “very nervous for my shows at the @TheIrvineImprov tomorrow and Tuesday. Anyone have a catcher’s mask I can borrow?”
Judd Apatow may have had the strongest reaction. The Emmy-winner tweeted about Smith last night, “He could have killed him. That’s pure out of control rage and violence…He lost his mind.”

There will be copycat incidents and many will feel justified. That's human bad-nature.

I think it's fake. The way Smith wound up, Rock would have gotten more hurt.

Smith smacked and rock moved his head in coordination. Just like wwe.

Its actually pretty sad

Au contraire
those kinda of thoughts will make you cunan

But the most baffling belief is that, somehow, Smith's slap was used to drum up support for some new Pfizer alopecia drug.

definitely not

Pfizer is currently developing a drug to treat alopecia and other immuno-inflammatory diseases. The drug, Etrasimod, is a once-a-day tablet being trialled to treat a range of diseases including ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, atopic dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis and alopecia areata

Case 5

A 29-year-old female began to experience hair loss following completion of the Pfizer SARS-CoV-2 vaccine series in April 2021. Her hair loss subsequently worsened following SARS-CoV-2 infection in August 2021. On presentation, the scalp had 2 patches of nonscarring alopecia with areas of regrowth. Laboratory results were notable for elevated levels of thyroglobulin antibody and thyroid peroxidase antibody. The patient was subsequently treated with ILTAC.

As Paul Harvey said and now you know the rest of the story

So you're basically calling into question the idea this was a hoaxed event. I can think of no reason for Smith to do a hoax.

Though anything is possible.

a reply to: peaceinoutz

I Can . M-O-N-E-Y , and Lots of it ....................Duh ?

a reply to: Zanti Misfit

Do you think SMmth will make money off this? I think his rep has taken a big blow and for him, it would have been risky.

Though they say Rock's concert tickets have ballooned in price to beat the ban...

ALT reality

First of all, the hood is not a racial designation: there are white hoods, Chinese hoods, and black hoods, Hispanic hoods, Italian hoods, where do you think the mafia is from the suburbs? Secondly, two black men from the hood, thirdly IM FROM The hood...brick city

Fourthly, a hood is a symbol of a low-income neighborhood, but if it has become a particular racial association it may be because of the poverty rate in some groups.

So no IMO its NOT racist....

Kareem Abdul Jabbar's rap on the slap heard around the world, here's some of it, the rest is at the link

When Will Smith stormed onto the Oscar stage to strike Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife’s short hair, he did a lot more damage than just to Rock’s face. With a single petulant blow, he advocated violence, diminished women, insulted the entertainment industry, and perpetuated stereotypes about the Black community...

...Some have romanticized Smith’s actions as that of a loving husband defending his wife. Comedian Tiffany Haddish, who starred in the movie Girls Trip with Pinkett Smith, praised Smith’s actions: “[F]or me, it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen because it made me believe that there are still men out there that love and care about their women, their wives.”

Actually, it was the opposite. Smith’s slap was also a slap to women. If Rock had physically attacked Pinkett Smith, Smith’s intervention would have been welcome. Or if he’d remained in his seat and yelled his post-slap threat, that would have been unnecessary, but understandable. But by hitting Rock, he announced that his wife was incapable of defending herself—against words. From everything I’d seen of Pinkett Smith over the years, she’s a very capable, tough, smart woman who can single-handedly take on a lame joke at the Academy Awards show.

This patronizing, paternal attitude infantilizes women and reduces them to helpless damsels needing a Big Strong Man to defend their honor lest they swoon from the vapors. 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. That would have been truly defending and respecting her. This “women need men to defend them” is the same justification currently being proclaimed by conservatives passing laws to restrict abortion and the LGBTQ+ community.
