Might not sound like much but these narcissists really eat this stuff up.
Wow. 10 years seems like a long time for something that only took a few seconds to mess up. Then again I have missed the Academy Awards for all 30 years of my life and not minded.

It took the academy 40 years to ban a white child rapist but only 2 weeks to ban a black man for a slap. I’d say they are definitely some racist undertones here.

Hollywood loves to look the other way when it comes to sexual crimes but a black man slaps someone and suddenly the world is coming to an end. Some of these same celebrities condemning Smith gave Polanski a cheering standing ovation when he won an Oscar in 2003, 25 years after being convicted or raping a 13 year old girl. He wouldn’t be expelled from the Academy until 2018. There is a whole list of celebrities who have committed sexual crimes that have not received an Oscar ban. Bad Boys 4 is now on hold because of a slap.

It was a dumb thing for Smith to do but, the overreaction by the public is even dumber.
