In 1791, enslaved Haitians ousted the French in the first successful slave rebellion in the modern world. Two decades later, the French returned with an ultimatum: face another war or pay cash for freedom. The amount paid has remained a mystery, until now. https://t.co/CsQzIia3ye

@ElenaVasilenka@TheAcademy no defense to what occurred tonight between two Black men on a national stage. Will trying to protect Jada? Jada shoulda protected Will in this his greatest moment of his life rather then being the devil in his ear
@SkylerShuler@jaden@OffColourOrg no defense to what occurred tonight between two Black men on a national stage. Will trying to protect Jada? Jada shoulda protected Will in this his greatest moment of his life rather then being the devil in his ear
@MsSamAdams@GeorgeTakei Risking what consequences?? Violence? Read your own words.. there is no defense to what occurred tonight between two Black men on a national stage. Will trying to protect Jada? Jada shoulda protected Will in this his greatest moment of his life! And not been the devil in his ear
@AustinPlanet Too bad Will dragged his fellow nominee into this. It's not the devil, it's ego and righteousness.
Jada could have taken the high road and not set her husband off, on an important night for them both.
@gibbonlo @robreiner First, they had a dress rehearsal where this joke was said and was okayed by the Oscars clearly. Second, who knows if Rock knew about her medical condition. Third, Smith is fine with his wife getting pegged by other guys, but has a problem with a joke? Give me a break
@gibbonlo @SeanMawhirter @robreiner Are you a black woman? I am. I suffered from alopecia and never would Allow someone to ruin the great moment of their life, a person admired, respected my millions go on a national stage attack a fellow black man for their words regardless of how it made me feel. That’s love!
Didn’t know until just this moment about @jadapsmith having Alopecia. She’s wonderful and great. So is @willsmith — which we all know. They’re both phenomenal. But you do NOT do what Will did in that setting. Go backstage and handle that shit if you must. Horrible look!
If @willsmith seriously did that — and he wins the OSCAR — he just stained the greatest moment of his career. You cannot do that S$&@!!Especially as a BLACK MAN, in that position, to ANOTHER BLACK MAN(@chrisrock) on THAT STAGE. If this was not a joke, Will won’t live this down!!!
