What if Will Smith were white?

Question

Will Smith has been in an open relationship with his wife for years and because of a joke, assaulted a colleague. So someone who has sex with Jada Pinkett Smith is safer than someone who laughs at her appearance.
We are living in a time where freedom of speech can easily cause offenses: LGBTQ rights, feminism, BLM... until an unexpected situation happens. A black man beats another black man — something that would be so much simpler if the aggressor were white!
The Academy only wrote "we are against violence". What if the agressor were white? Who's in the right?

I'm black and I have to say Will  does  need to come under fire for that. What he did was completely wrong. And in this particular situation, yes, I think if he was white people would still feel the same way about the situation. Not only is it violent aggression that he exuded on live TV but it was also humiliating for Chris Rock. I like Will for a long time before I started seeing how much of a simp he was about his wife. Deep down he's hurt by her cheating on him but he doesn't want to confront it in himself and doesn't want to confront  her  either. He's afraid. So he took that frustration out on Chris instead of the very woman who injured him. True point here: " So someone who has sex with Jada Pinkett Smith is safer than someone who laughs at her appearance."

if he was white Chris Rock would have pressed charges and it would have been a "hate crime" and probably a lot of people would be burning down their own street. He got a free pass using his race card. Thank god now i don't have to hear all the systemic bullshit.

If he were white shouldn't Chris Rock also be white since this was a black on black crime? To make it even out it should be a white on white crime. But I'll give you my take on both. If he was white and the other due was white then depending on his political background he'd be labeled an aggressive straight white male suffering something like sds and be declared a fascist and blocked from any future events. If it was that he was white and rock was black he'd be cancelled, crucified on every morning talk show, have Antifa or BLM burn down his home, threaten to kill him and his family, cancel him, have his social medias closed down, be charged with a hate crime, be called a Nazi or white supremacists, be attacked out in the street by idiot mobs if 17 years olds and trannies, get a hefty jail sentence, and never be able to find work again. Then he'd be forced to vote for Donald Trump in 2024 since the left gave him no chance at redemption and actively tries to harm or kill him and his family while the right might offer him a talk radio show and a chance to keep making a living. I think this is why the left is just bleeding support. These people are radicalized and violent and give no second chances unless your inside the DNC as one of their crooked Reps.

There was no real justified reason for a man to assault another man in this situation, it shows that will is eating up what the media says, not to mention he assaulted a comedian for doing what he is good at, it's like someone slapping will Smith for acting for a role of a white man and he gets slapped because a white guy got offended, there would be no justified reason for will getting smacked for simply doing what he does best and that's acting, chris made a joke about his wife but that's not a reason to assault someone, now the one that looks bad is will for simply losing his shit over words, it wasn't defending her at all cause like she said herself, "words don't hurt her" so what was all that about? It was such a pointless action that just brought negative attention

Luggit · Answer

Any of that should've never happened. And what Will and his wife does is their business, even if some don't agree. People need to treat each other better, and equally. Skin color should never have anything to do with it. I just wished others would see it the same way.

You don’t have to wonder. Look at the roman Polanski who is a literally child rapist and still got awards. Yet y'all are still pissed that a millionaire slapped another millionaire.. have you never stepped outside of the real world?

Effably · Answer

I really do not see how it would change much. Had the whole fiasco also had a racial angle I am sure it would have been sensationalised even more but that is about it.

Of course there may or may not have been a public outrage from people reading race into it first and the people involved after.

I assume this question is a brand of humor I didn't understand. Feel free to explain it to me.

If he were White you’d have BLM out in the streets and Al Sharpton on the news 24/7.

blissinanarchy1 · Answer

I love how insecure white people get. Truth be told, nobody gives a fuck if it's a one on one with a white person and a black person. If one of them gets jumped by a bunch of others from the opposite race, or racial slurs were thrown, then it'd be different. I've seen plenty of fights between a black guy and white guy where black people are supporting the white guy.

Mrsposh · Answer

Why is that a Question? What does white have to do with a situation? Better Question is... why does whites always Intrude themselves in black people business? Why do whites love having an opinion on black people? Or comparing yourselves to black people? Why you didn't ask what if will was Asian or Indian or African or west Indian? 🤔

As I've mentioned before, if I were to sue some person/company/government/entity etc. every time something offended me, I could keep an army of lawyers rich for the rest of their lives. Tired of having uproars about, say, a team called the Chiefs, etc., but we are still stuck with The Blue Demons or the Red Devils, etc.

robbenn69 · Answer

What someone says is never an excuse for physical violence. If he was upset, he could have found Chris Rock offstage and told him how he feels, and by that time he would have calmed down a bit. When he went up there, he was at the height of his anger and should have known better.

ChefPapiChulo · Answer

But he wasn’t white. That question is stupid because then you could say what if Chris Rock was a woman or what if Chris Rock was a child.
The thing is, much of history has been full of what white people have done to colored people with no repercussions. So you don’t have to look very far to ask that question.
get yourself an education before you start saying nonsensical bull crap.

Emiliamazing · Answer

He would certainly be charged. He should be charged regardless of color. What he did I believe is classified as an assault. The other big question for me is would Chris Rock have chosen to present the joke if Will Smith were a white man?

If he were white he would have been arrested and charged with hate crime.

If Will Smith were White and Chris Rock still black, this would have been a horrible race thing as an example of White Supremacy lol.  Personally, I'd say it was staged for clicks.

Well he probably wouldn't be as big of a star for one. He probably wouldn't have married Jada... I think it changes so much of his life it's kind of hard to determine where he'd be now.
