First, we canceled Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock. But now we’re trying to cancel Chris, for making a joke about Nicole Brown Simpson.
During a recent standup show, he said he turned down an offer to host the 2023 Oscars. He called it returning to the scene of the crime, and compared it to O.J. and Nicole. And the Twitter crowd started turning on him.
One person said, quote, “The more Chris Rock talks, the more you begin to see why Will Smith smacked fire outta him.”
Another suggested that Nicole’s father, Ron Goldman, should be allowed to slap Chris.
But then there are people criticizing the backlash . . . saying that everyone was on Chris’s side when he insulted a black woman, but now that he’s taking aim at a “dead white woman,” it’s unacceptable.
