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?

Yes, and that as much is extremely obvious

You put the words "it was fine when I did it" in my mouth, after baselessly asserting that the people who are arguing that Will wasn't justified couldn't relate to the need to protect their partners

Yes I know!

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
