Yes, and that as much is extremely obvious

It seems on-its-face (get it) toxic and immature to escalate that to a physical confrontation, not to mention oddly paternalistic.
bullshit

"I was in the right for this when I did it, but defending a Black woman in this manner against a joke about her hair-loss illness? just juvenile, I'll have none of it!"
My entire point is that I didn't do "this". I am remarking on the clear difference in circumstance and proportionality. If Chris Rock had shoved Jada Pinkett Smith to the ground, do you think I'd be arguing about Will Smith giving him what-for?
so you're arguing that a joke about Jada's hair loss is not anything like an equivalent act of violence to shoving her to the ground

I knew that; my response is I disagree, and tell me something fucking original
Dude, why are you so angry?
because this issue warrants it, "dude"

I think at this point we can just understand we won't see eye-to-eye on this. We're friends and I don't want to taint that with this argument about slaps

Wait, are we racist for thinking Will Smith, a black man, is a child for his behavior?

Will Smith is embarrassed by his own actions. So, why are some still defending him? Maybe they are racist and dont believe a black man can have thoughts and regrets of his own!

EVERY0NES A RACIST!
