Yeah - sometimes comedians go for that edge but its just too far and while maybe some find that funny, I don't. However, it could easily have been handled in a different manner by Will Smith. what does that teach people about solving issues or handling anger?
If people are learning behavior from watching the Oscars, they've already lost.
 
Will was enraged…. he looked scary. Dude has some issues.

Chris Rock never should have went there, it wasn’t even funny, but violence should never be condoned in that situation.
It's easy to say violence should never be condoned. However, if someone humiliated your wife on national TV because of a health issue she's suffering from, you might feel differently.

If it was a stunt i feel like will is the loser for using his wife as a prop.
 
It didn't take much googling to see this has been a really painful issue for Jada and that's just what she's shared. I imagine seeing her deal with it up close makes it that much worse. Rep. Ayanna Pressley has the same condition and I followed her as she went through that. There's so much complexity wrapped up in how society views women's hair and particularly Black women's hair. But I said I'm in the minority here and I'm ok with that.
That's a reach. Society isn't kind to anyone balding, certainly not from alopecia. I know two young males that got it in their 20's and the mental health issues it facilitated tanked their lives.

Regardless, the crazy double standard is can you imagine what the reaction would be if Smith had slapped a female comedian? I mean, I can't even imagine that being done, it would be so taboo, instant career suicide. But I don't think there would be much talk about how a balding joke was too low. If Smith were to be white, and not arrested, we would hear a lot of discussion as to the privilege too.

Smith should have been arrested for assault.
