Please digress?
You don’t think this was the blackest Oscars in the history of Oscars and a direct to response to #oscarssowhite?
LOL its an incredibly easy decision. You assault someone, you leave.
This isn’t the right thread for it but Will Smith clearly needs help
Black actors complaining about playing ‘stereotypical black roles’, such as thugs.
On the night they make the oscars really ‘black’ there is literally a fight on stage…
There is an element of humour to that.
Well, sure.
Again, once you remove context all decisions are easy.
Even with the context of this particular situation its an incredibly easy decision.
Unfortunate, certainly.
So you think things would have gone better for the organisers of the Oscars if four burly white security guys dragged Smith kicking and swearing out of the auditorium only for him to be absently awarded Best Actor later?
It’s certainly a point of view.
Yes absolutely. If they wanted to come out of it with any integrity.
Im not sure why you are continually bringing race into the equation, its poor form. The facts are one man assaulted another. The person committing the assault needs to be removed.

I would suggest that it would not have.
It’s Hollywood so it’s simple to work out who was right. Who’s the biggest star Smith or Rock?
Again, why are you removing context?
Are you living in the real world or some theoretical utopia?

Bizzare take. I guess if an angry black dude at a hospital assaulted a worker at the hospital you wouldnt want them removed becuause it may look weird for white dudes to remove them?
Don’t forget. It’s Hollywood. They are some of the worst people alive.
They gave a purposeful standing ovation to a guy who drugged and brutally raped a child. They were never going to throw Will Smith out.

And again, we are not talking about those circumstances.
There is no blowback for the hospital removing someone who has committed an assault.
It will not affect our reputation either positively or negatively.
Terrible example that’s ignorant of every possible relevance.
You really want to broaden this, don’t you.
Coward punches and hospitals…
Yup and at the Oscars where there have not been enough any black people winning awards so they have pumped up the black people winning awards quota by tenfold, a black dude decides to punch another black dude for insulting his black wife and needs to be removed by potentially some white people.
Thats the context. Still wrong. Still pathetic to let him remain there and accept his award. Maybe you would feel better about it if they asked some black security guards to forcibly take him out. Maybe black people can deal with black people and white people can deal with white people from now on.
