1. considering that rock was given the gig precisely because he behaves this way you might consider suggesting a ban on the academy for a couple years.There is NO "A" game in what happened last night. These two guys are on the forefront of equality and being treated equally and treating others in the proper way....then goddamn it, they need to act asLEADERS and not like a couple of punk street kids on this stage!
Rock needs to gauge his remarks about others. Smith needs go grow the phuque up and understand where he is. Both acted iirresponsibly. And unfortunately, both reflected poorly on their race. Black men and women who are looked up to are like policemen....They have to be purer than driven snow in their actions. They are always going to be judged. I support what they are working for 100%...it os long overdue in many cases.....but dammit, it has to be done the right way. Last night was not the right way. It reflects poorly on BOTH men and unfortunately, there will be many others who will make generalizations. Leaders lead......all the time.
The Academy should throw both these guys out for a couple of years. Let them cool off and figure it out. There is just no excuse for two grown men to act like they did last night.
2. from my standpoint, a couple stupid guys did stupid shit and gave us something to talk about. it's awful to suggest these two guys are leaders of any sort...they are entertainers and they do/did that well. now if obama pulled something like this i would agree with you. although if obama kneed trump chances are he would receive another nobel.
