According to MSNBC host Tiffany Cross, white people simply can't understand Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars last week.
On Sunday's airing of "The Cross Connection," TheGrio columnist Michael Harriot stated that it was “hard to explain to a white person what’s the difference between an open-handed slap and a punch,” adding that “they consider it all violent.”
He added, "It was about how Black people relate to each other. It’s hard to explain to a White person what’s the difference is between an open-handed slap and a punch is, because they consider it all violent. It’s hard to explain that everyone, really, has a certain threshold for which they will react in a certain way — whether it is say something to their mother, their sister. You say words to my wife and my kids, I am going to react a certain way. We don’t know what that is for everyone. When you choose to insult someone in the governing structure, you run the risk of, if you step out of bounds, you don’t know how far out of bounds they’ll step. Chris Rock understood this."
Actress Yvette Nicole Brown chimed in, “On Twitter, a lot of us were like, ‘y’all sit this out for your protection,’ because when we need to have a conversation, we’re gonna have it,” she said. “If you put your nose in something Black people need to discuss amongst ourselves, it happens.”

“I will try to put this in context for our White fellow countrymen as best I can," Cross declared. "In really, truly Black America, there’s a commonality amongst us all. If we went to a White person’s home and it was their family dinner, we were sitting at the table, and the mother hauled off and slapped the father and everybody at the table has an opinion. The sister is like ‘Mom, you always do this.’ The brother is like ‘I can’t believe you’re doing this.’ Dad is like ‘You’re terrible.’ If I weigh in as the guest in this home and say, ‘Yeah, you guys are terrible,’ Everybody’s like ‘I’m sorry. When did you get an opinion? This is our family table.’ That’s what this moment felt like for many of us. There’s a nuance to what happened.
“It was a moment we saw Will Smith behave like a bully,” the MSNBC host said. “I thought the slap itself was completely uncalled for.”
She added, “I want to be really clear, while we talk about family talk. I think it is utterly ridiculous to center this conversation in the opinions of White folks.”
Between Tiffany Cross & her crew, Whoopi Goldberg & Denzel Washington, there are just some people you don't put in front of cameras. Their stupidity is limitless. So much so they make Sarah Palin & Kamala Harris sound like Aristotle.......https://t.co/1XEDjh8gQs

She added, “That’s what this moment felt like for many of us. And there’s a nuance to what happened that we should get into.”
That makes literally no sense...but what do I know. I'm white.
