Yeah, I'm on the fence about this one too. It wasn't just a bad joke though. Said "comedian" has a history of disparaging black women and going after Jada in particular. So this wasn't the first incident. I've seen a lot of black women speak negatively about his "act" and how hurtful it is.
Still, it wasn't the actor's place. I dont care too much either way but I think I would have been mad had I been Jada, at both of them.
I kinda wished it had been Jada who stalked up there and punched the comedian in his stupid fucking mouth. He's had it coming since 2016 at least.
Now we're all going to get treated to "free speech" debates with poor context. So I'll just go ahead and say it now. Yes, you have the right to say whatever you want but not without consequence. One consequence being that if you say something mean and hurtful to someone in a public situation designed to further humiliate them, they or someone they love is liable to lose control of their emotions and punch you in your stupid fucking face.
If that's the best "comedy" you have in your repertoire, go back to school and retrain for a field you might actually be good at.
