The reality is that neither person in the situation was a good person. Both should have been cancelled. Chris Rock for the insult that antagonized Will Smith and Will Smith for the slap.

Yes, I should not have insulted them.  If I do wrong, then I face the consequences.  You’re not supposed to be able to treat people terrible and expect that they will not get angry. 

First off, you don’t get to decide what offends someone else.  You’re just whatabouting to make it seem like what Chris Rock did was okay, because you’re the type of person who makes jokes at other’s expense.  You don’t want to acknowledge that you likely hurt a lot of people, and my comment was a wakeup call.  You’re…

Chris Rock is a terrible person. He’s not a hero.

It’s by design, not by accident. Make us relive trauma as often and as pubicly as possible for one simple reason- they hope we lash out, attack, get loud, or act in any way to justify further violence against us (whether committed by law enforcement or just the average racist citizen).

Awww, some racist piece of shit is projecting their faults onto me because they don’t find me sufficiently reverential to some rude bitch ass basic Kevin who makes demands and claims not to be racist while referring to Black people (PEOPLE) as “blacks.”

Exactly. The same way they always keep bringing up Chicago. It’s yet another way they try to make whiteness seem a heluva lot more innocent than it actually is.

There’s probably some truth to this, which is ironic when you consider how the vast majority of gun related deaths are due to handguns

Honestly, I think if while folks realized just how many guns black folks had, gun control would be enacted within 8 hours or less. Not just typical gun control, but full on, “Hand them over now. ALL OF THEM.”

It won’t. They have way way more guns. White evangelical men have way more guns than any other group and it is still increasing. It’s all about selling guns now, nothing else.

Most crime is within racial groups because most people commit crimes where they live and this country is still segregated as fuck. So all those trolls who talk about "black on black" crime as if it's not just crime can take their racist asses and fuck off.

Too true

Props to Joy Behar! History supports he statement. So yes, let a bunch of Black men & women start stocking up on high-powered military style weapons and see how quickly gun laws are changed in this country.

Well, its initially rooted in conflicts with Native Americans.  From the the initial 13 colonies butting up against native populations to the settlers heading west and being in open warfare with the natives they were pushing out.  The image of the old west cowboys and frontiersmen with revolvers and rifles. Including…

It’s not that Black people need to buy guns. We’ve got plenty. We need to buy assault weapons. We’ve got plenty of handguns but folks won’t be scared until we start stockpiling weapons of war.

The American love of guns is also rooted in racism. The NRA uses the very Black people they’re accusing of just being marauding gangs of Blackness waiting to harm white people to scare the living shit out of white people to get them to buy more guns. And since our government doesn’t seem too keen on punishing white…

I wish it was that simple, but the GOP will get extremely creative to write laws that effectively decrease black gun ownership while increasing white gun ownership. They don’t have any principles at all.

American gun control is rooted in racism. The first bans were to prevent recently freed slaves from arming themselves against the KKK terror rides.

You got that right!  And I come from a family of cops. I've seen the inside.  Lucky for me I was born too vision impaired to get sucked into that life.  But I did enjoy a lot of free seized drugs!

That is a really nice made up percentage. You know what else is special about that made up percentage? They are part of the blue line, so they cover for the bad ones.
