How far could Will Smith have gone and still gotten away with it?

We all know that most people could not have gotten away with what Will Smith did.

Imagine if it had been a white man hitting a black man. Everyone would have instantly assumed it was racially motivated.

Or imagine if it had been some random black guy who wasn’t famous. People would have been like, “Who the hell is this random guy who just hit Chris Rock?”

Will Smith has several factors in his favour — race, money, fame, bald wife. No white security guy wants to be the one to drag a black movie star off stage.

So, how far could Will have gone?

A punch rather than a slap?

Two slaps?

Three slaps?

Getting him in a headlock?

Wrestling him to the ground?

Kicking him in the balls while he’s down?

But also, what if Chris hadn’t taken the slap so well?

After the slap, Will turned his back on Chris and walked away. Imagine if Chris ran after him and pushed him over. A full-on fight may have broken out.

This is why it’s so great that Chris took it the way he did. Because these things can easily escalate.

And then, who wants to be the security guy breaking up a fight between two famous black men?

Perhaps next time, Mel Gibson will do a shit on stage.
