The Oscar Slap

Clearly this is the topic of the day EVERYWHERE. In the news, social media, CC. Should we have a (somewhat) civil discussion? I did not see it live. I’ve watched some replays. The slap was not ok. Did he apologize or did he attempt to save his reputation? Chris Rock. The comment was not ok. Seems this isn’t the first time he dissed Jada. Some will say “that’s sarcastic comedy!” Or was it comedy gone wrong? Should he be off the hook? I’m not seeing much that points to criticism of what he said but only to his role as victim of the slap? (I’m not watching any live news/commentary - mostly reading through social media). What were your thoughts as it happened live? What were your thoughts on the apology? (was it an apology in your opinion?) What now??? Of course this conversation could get heated and not too kind as well so a reminder to avoid putting yourself in the same awkward, not-ok position.
