Picking up from yesterday –
I would be remiss if I also didn’t mention the racist element of it.
As people have stated MANY times, white men in the Academy have gotten away with SO many worse things – SO MANY WORSE THINGS.
So, the fact that we’re putting a black man with a STELLAR record under a microscope for one slap while white men are out here being serial criminals and keeping their Oscar and Academy membership and everything… Ugh.
I don’t have much more to say on this than that. Other people have said it all I’m sure more eloquently. But it’s really unfair to hold black men to a higher standard than white men.
