On the local news channel they were doing some extreme mental gymnastics to say this was a racist incident, which I just couldn’t make make sense.
because it doesn't. I just read someone say the same thing on Twitter. literally everyone responding was confused as hell.
I have read elsewhere, however, that black women have historically been the subject of high scrutiny when it comes to hair, and that is somehow it became racist? Because Chris Rock crossed the line talking about a black woman's hair? FFS.

He shouldn't have to publicly apologize, that is between them...the whole Hollywood thing is weird, right? Almost everything is for show. We are a strange group, Americans.
We should be talking about Russia committing war crimes, instead Will Smith distracted us. Maybe he is a Russian plant! (Only half kidding with that paragraph)
Is it worth getting a apple+ subscription for that CODA movie?
It’s still on my list but my parents loved and recommended it to me long before it was nominated
I’m boycotting it because it was shot in Massachusetts. I see enough of Massachusetts and its Massholes every goddamn day. No need to glorify them on screen.
(I also haven’t seen the sexual assaulty Affleck kid’s Oscar movie that came out a couple of years ago.)

Here is a perfect article for the both of you. I read it and said Huh? I guess you can find racism in anything if you look hard enough?

Will
and Jada Pinkett Smith have been public about many things: their open
marriage, Jada’s affair, how they choose to raise their children. Yes,
being a celebrity opens you up to public scrutiny. But everyone has a
breaking point, and this may have been Smith’s. Even before the Slap, it
was an emotionally charged night in which Smith was anticipating his
first Oscar win. A win that would make him only the fifth Black man ever
to win the Best Actor award.
As for Rock, his G.I. Jane joke was not only in bad taste, but it was also ableist and hypocritical. In 2009, Rock’s documentary Good Hair,
which he dedicated to his daughters, explored Black women’s
relationship with hair and beauty politics and even addressed the topic
of alopecia. Rock interviews a woman with alopecia named Sheila Bridges,
who tells him, “The reason hair is so important is because our
self-esteem is wrapped up in it.”
So you would think Rock would know better.
Back in 2018, Pinkett Smith opened up about her alopecia,
an autoimmune disorder that attacks hair follicles and results in bald
spots and hair loss. During an episode of her Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk,
she explained, “It was terrifying when it first started. I was in the
shower one day and had just handfuls of hair in my hands, and I was just
like, Oh my God, am I going bald?”

all well and good, but if he simply thought it was a fashion choice as opposed to a condition makes the difference to me.

Must be something other than " $140,000 gift bags." ?
I do not have an answer. Maybe 30 years? Never been a fan of pomp and circumstance and the oscars are an embodiment of that.
If they're smart, they hire Rock to host in 2023, ratings will soar.
