    What a stupid opinion.

    Read the article I linked.

    I've read it. I can understand how racists folks could use the event to further their agenda but it's stupid to think if you are a white person that you can't have an opinion on seeing a black person hits another black person. That's a form of cancel culture which is a cancer on a society. I see one person assaulting another person and the fact that some people think it's okay shows the problems with our society.

    As a white person you’re never going to understand the cultural complexities of the situation in the same way as a black person who lives them on a day to day basis.

    The same way that two white people in the same situation would have cultural factors that would influence their actions and the outcome that black people would not know.

    However you are entitled to an opinion but (white people in general) pontificating about something they don’t really understand, smacks of privilege.

    This sort of thing happens a lot at weddings, similar sort of things said, similar results, does that make them black, nope, makes them human.

  • I’m outraged – Will Smith is much taller than Chris Rock, this is blatantly heightist

  • Watching the Oscars is like watching some else’s Prom videos. This year’s is no different.

  • To add to @CRAKROX thought, it isn’t cancel culture to suggest that white people think long and hard before commenting on situations involving people of color.

    There is an (ongoing) history of judgment of black people by white people. Even if a white person isn’t racist, the perpetuation of conversations in judgment of black people (or other marginalized people) often takes a turn that perpetuates the power imbalance. It ends up as lots and lots of white people (racist or not) sitting in judgment.

    I am not saying that no white person should comment on the topic…just that it isn’t ridiculous to suggest thinking long and hard before doing do.

    p.s. If one is inclined to say out loud “I don’t see color” or some such: don’t. What it conveys is a lack of awareness that racism is an ongoing thing that adverse affects the lives of millions and millions of people. Pretty much no one aware of systemic racism would say it out loud in most contexts.

    Whether it’s one’s intention or not “I don’t see color” essentially conveys obliviousness to racism to the people affected by it.

  • I guess the climate issues and Ukraine oppression are resolved.

    I understand what you’re saying, but think you’re over complicating the issues. But if I’ve offended anyone, it wasn’t intended.

    You're basically saying that anyone who isn't a person of colour isn't allowed to have an opinion on two human beings behaving badly because they are a different colour. Pure and utter garbage and a prime example of cancel culture.

    I recognise that we all have our off days and trigger events and in this case Will Smith lost his rag and attacked another individual who was making crass comments on his wife. As a human being I can understand why he lost his temper and why he smacked the other guy and if I was in his situation I might have done the same but don't tell me I can't have an opinion on it because I'm a different colour. Cancel culture is toxic and isn't helping anyone.

  • @knewspeak : the issue I was raising was not because of you causing offense -- but I see a lot of people throwing that phrase around about not seeing color/race/gender, whatever -- and I don't think people really think about what that conveys. The issue isn't that saying it causes offense so much as that it sends a message about one's awareness.

  • All due respect to the users here, but it's pathetic that this is even a topic of discussion in this forum.

    This is literally in Off-Topic. There is a place on this forum for this exact type of conversation.

    Are we only supposed to talk about those two issues in our lives?

    I don't get why people get upset when other people want to discuss things that they want to. I saw some comment above like "make music instead of disussing this". I can only speak for myself, but my day to day is not:

    1. Get up
    2. Make music all day
    3. Go to bed
    4. Goto 1

    It is, for me at least, possible for me to do many different things in a day. I have found that indeed if I do not think about a single thing all day long, I'm actually way more productive across the board. It is the very act of stimulating the brain with various topics that keeps me engaged in life at one level or another. Every single thing I think about doesn't have to be life or death, and for me it definitely isn't that way on purpose. Topics like this spark conversations about all sorts of interesting things that I can grow from. Life isn't all about WRITE MUSIC NOW OR YOU ARE WASTING AWAY or ONLY TALK ABOUT CATASTROPHIC EVENTS IN YOUR WAKING HOURS AT THE SAME TIME YOU ARE WRITING MUSIC. I write better music when I actually don't write music 24/7. But that's my process, it might be different for others. I feel like a lot of people on the forum have music as a hobby, like the discussions on this forum because they enjoy the views of others, and engage in it in the appropriate section...Off-Topic.

    I'd encourage those that don't care for this topic or others to just move on and be happy doing whatever else you feel is more important and let the other stuff flow by.

    And further to what I said before. I just wanted to say if you are a person of colour then I'm appalled that in 2022 you are still facing the same struggles and issues to do with your heritage and your skin colour and if there is anything I can do to help just let me know.

    To understand one another whatever your circumstance, it’s better to talk about thing’s, then we may understand from another perspective.

  • edited March 2022

    I just want to say that a lot of people, and I guess this might include Will Smith, are very selective about when, where and to whom they will step up to defend their 'honor', which makes all the posturing about it pretty much bullshit.

    If you're not willing to get physical with someone like Tyson Fury for opening their mouth and offending you/yours, but you're willing to push around someone smaller than you, you're full of shit imo.

  • A comedian made a joke.

    He did his job.

    Some idiot got on the stage and attacked him.

    This is what happened.
    There are witnesses all over the world.

    It doesn’t matter if he has daddy issues, mommy issues or Lex Luther issues.

    It doesn’t matter if he/she is tall, short, bald, hairy, green, purple etc.

    A crime was committed by an adult.

    There should be consequences.

    Misreading a social situation is not the same as racism, and it can be because of any number of factors rather than skin color.

    I never said misreading a social situation is racist just that judging and pontificating about the actions of someone of another ethnicity and assuming to understand their reasons for these actions smacks of privilege.

    Would that just mean I can’t criticise someone of another colour, culture, religion or gender when I think their actions merit it, because of my personal bias, because I’ve also praised people of colour, culture, religion and gender, because of my personal bias. Anything other than this would be to me ‘dishonesty’ to myself, even though I’m biased and would be tantamount to the segregation of my thoughts based on inequality.

    So going by your argument that an opinion isn't valid because you aren't from the same ethencity and haven't experienced the same life experience as that black man well neither have you. You've not lived his life. You've not walked in his shoes.

    While we're at it you can't have an informed opinion on any women issues because you're not a woman so haven't been moulded by the same life experiences as a woman.

    Continuing in on from that you can't have an informed opinion on any other human being outside your country because you haven't been moulded by the same life experiences. Or even outside your neighbourhood.

    Do you see how this works and how divisive it is. You are trying to shut down the conversation (cancel culture) because you assume another human being can't have an informed opinion on another human purely based on the colour of their skin.

    Now I understand that racists folks are using what happened here to fuel there hate filled agendas but that's not what's happening here. We are not pontificating. We are expressing our legitimate views.

    It definitely sucked the life out of it for me. I thought we had a fairly interesting and civil discussion going on here ... up until wondering if speaking my thoughts would paint me as a racist spoiled my appetite for continuing.

    Not that the conversation was particularly worthwhile to begin with, but at least it was entertaining. Ah well, no big loss. Off to uselessly pontificate about the war. ;)
