we know how bill cosby ended. this guy did it right. be like him. he did it this way.ifferent that he used to fight against. it has nothing to with chris rock. it has to do with him and jada and their relationship. she was with a dude in the house. that stuff weighs on you. when you have a bad relationship that's what happens. we have seen it at restaurant and bars and places where a guy and his girl will be there. some guy says something. what are you going to do about it it? i will show you and hits the guy. that's their thing. they need counselling. wow, the woke were stuck. they didn't know what to do. a straight black man and another straight black man one slaps him. because to them it doesn't matter about violence if it doesn't affect them. if chris was gay and will smith slapped him. boy they would be asked for the academy award back. when it doesn't affect you don't care about violence. i think will smith should give the award back. he disgraced himself and everything he stood for and chris did not deserve that. the next time a comedian says something you don't
