Was Will Smith's Oscar slap in solidarity with Black women or an egregious assault? We take a look:
. For all of the important knowledge he supposedly gained while talking with Black women across the country for the film, it looks like those sensitivities were ultimately less important than getting a joke off at a Black woman’s expense. But anything to make the people laugh, right?On one hand, Smith did slap Rock for the entire world to see, an unexpected and untimely violent response given the setting the two stars were in.
And Black people going out of their way to care and protect each other should never be anything to be embarrassed about, no matter who's watching. A reminder: obsessing over the white gaze won’t save us.It’s not surprising that certain people are ignoring the nuance of what unfolded by downplaying the emotional violence of Rock’s actions while emphasizing the physical violence of Smith’s.Of course, not everyone is looking at the events of last night through that lens.
